Foolowing up on Surly's and CottageCraven's complaint in the other thread about trying to buy tickets on-line, hopefully this helps: "Challenge Fulham FC was experiencing increasingly frequent network failures which were impacting on its application performance. The existing network was proving slow and increasingly inadequate to cope with the demand of Wi-Fi for fans and media on match days, and Internet access for delegates at the many corporate events the club holds. Fulham FC began to look for alternative solutions that would provide network resiliency, reliability and sufficient bandwidth to cope with increasing capacity demand. The new network not only needed to support corporate applications, but also third parties who needed to access the network whilst providing a high level of resilience to ensure the network didn't suffer outages. Another important consideration was the addition of new Cloud services the club was looking at adopting services such as CCTV and corporate governance solutions which would allow the club to improve its current services, while minimising capital expenditure costs. Solution Fulham FC recognised increased bandwidth capacity on its Wide Area Network (WAN) would be a high priority and sourced a partner which could provide high-speed, quality Internet access for all its new services. Exponential-e was chosen to design and deploy a new WAN for Fulham FC after being selected following a rigorous process including proposals from two Tier-1 WAN providers. The deciding factors were Exponential-e's ability to converge multiple services across the WAN and the simplicity of the network solution put forward. Exponential-e worked closely with Fulham FC to deploy a three site WAN that connects Fulham FC's Craven Cottage Stadium with the Motspur Park training facilities and the club's third party ticketing partner. "What made Exponential-e different was the ability to securely separate and converge, multiple services across one connection. The solution was simple and offered us real flexibility and was something no one else was able match " explains Spencer Haywood, head of IT, Fulham FC."[/I] Source: http://www.cbronline.com/news/tech/...eves-network-goals-with-exponential-e-4157328
Overly cynical, perhaps, but it would good to see the club act with the same speed to address player personnel issues which can have a similar effect on revenue as an unavailable online ticket services.
Fulham not only needs better central routers, but endpoint delivery systems that will connect with the net and better intrusion detection to prevent malicious attacks.
What Bidders said. If it's humour, it's brilliant. If it's an actual statement of technological fact, then it couldn't describe our current requirements for the team better. I honestly don't know which it is but Bravo either way.
The online ticket system is as useful as a chocolate kettle this afternoon! Unless they fix it soon, I'd expect to see a lot of empty seats tonight. Has anyone had experience buying tickets on the gate?
Only back in the 1970's. Can't remember the last time I just turned up on a saturday without a ticket in my hand.
I remember turning up to watch Fulham play Hull - way back! Cost £8 a ticket for standing in the ammersmiff! aaagh - the good ol days.........
Welcome back to the good old days of 1970.... @FulhamFC: PAY ON THE GATE: Ticket info for #ffc and #ncfc fans still needing a ticket for tonight's #facup encounter. http://t.co/0uRjvq0vGS I'm en route to pub. Wish they'd posted that 2 hours ago!
