| 1. Author: Johanisk Date: Tue 21st Jul 2026. 19:59 So I understand from a previous announcement that they`ve brought in Urban Zoo to handle the Pars Digital offering and that they work with Celtic, Aston Villa, etc. Are we getting their work experience guys and gals working on the club website? It`s shocking. Was I the only one that couldn`t find the brand new kit in the shop last week (but could see loads of adverts for 23/24 leftovers? Opportunities to give the club money should be front and centre on the homepage. Not buried under piles of ***** or hidden within complex navigation. That`s absolute web design and User Experience basics Currently writing this as I wait to watch the Cove stream. Which they`ve completely nobbed. Firstly, it was impossible to locate on the site. Then the stream doesn`t work and even though you`ve subscribed it still lets you pay again. I`ve been working in Digital since the 90s and there is so much wrong with the current setup and I don`t care about excuses for teething problems. They were obviously in a rush to get this up for the start of the season and it just hasn`t been properly tested. Reply |

| 3. Author: Raymie the Legend Date: Tue 21st Jul 2026. 20:27 I’ve had similar issues to the OP. I’ve still not seen them play this season  It`s bloody tough being a legend Ron Atkinson - 1983 Reply |
| 4. Author: dafc01 Date: Tue 21st Jul 2026. 21:21 I did not manage to watch the game until 15 minutes in. There was no button to click to get the stream. Reply |
| 5. Author: OzPar Date: Tue 21st Jul 2026. 21:43 Yes, same issues here. Paid twice, but couldn`t get the game to open for some time. Sort it out sharpish, DAFC LIVE. And I would like a refund for my double payment, please. Reply |
| 6. Author: Rusty Shackleford Date: Tue 21st Jul 2026. 22:12 Couldn`t get on for five minutes then it was sorted. Multiple apologies during the broadcast. Very, very professional commentary and stream. I`m not going to have a headloss about a new service. Reply |
| 7. Author: Dandy Warhol Date: Tue 21st Jul 2026. 22:25 I reckon once things get sorted out it could be a good service? I don`t wanna go down like disco. Reply |
| 8. Author: RhinoPars Date: Tue 21st Jul 2026. 22:46 Once they sort out the teething problems, it looks like it will be a very good service. Does anyone know if they plan to stream away games like ParsTV did? Reply |
| 9. Author: Andrew283 Date: Tue 21st Jul 2026. 22:58 Couldn`t find the new away top anywhere on the new site. Looks very amateur Reply |
| 10. Author: SteviePar Date: Tue 21st Jul 2026. 23:02 New away top isn’t on sale yet afaik Reply |
| 11. Author: Indiapar1 Date: Wed 22nd Jul 2026. 06:59 I think the new website is quite difficult to navigate. It is not particularly user friendly/intuitive. G Wardrope Post Edited (Wed 22 Jul 06:59) Reply |
| 12. Author: Parplod Date: Wed 22nd Jul 2026. 08:01 Have signed up but struggling to find Manager’s pre and post match comments since the EK game. Reply |
| 13. Author: Sacktheref69 Date: Wed 22nd Jul 2026. 08:49 Must admit, I don`t have an issue with the new site. Logged on this morning, the manager`s post about Cove Rangers covered the screen, and the shop was on the tab at the top. This is Andy Tod`s world and we are lucky to live in it. Reply |
| 14. Author: AlterPar Date: Wed 22nd Jul 2026. 08:53 My company employed the same company to help with our website and had issues and cut them off unfortunately. Reply |
| 15. Author: MinnesotaAndy Date: Wed 22nd Jul 2026. 12:01 about new COWS - login and use the Accessibility Menu (bottom right) I find one click of Bigger Text and one click of Text Spacing makes things look nicer. Reply |
| 16. Author: davepars Date: Wed 22nd Jul 2026. 12:12 Point of order mr speaker, the new streaming service once live was absolutely faultless. No disrespect to Pars TV, but it seems to be the upgrade many have been asking for. Thanks must be given to PARS TV for all their hard work over many years. It will be a real plus this year once the gremlins are ironed out.....and remember the last 2 have been muted as test streams. Reply |
| 17. Author: Johanisk Date: Wed 22nd Jul 2026. 12:38 davepars, Wed 22 Jul 12:12 Yeah, new TV service is great. Trying to find it/access it on the other hand is just not good enough. Visiting the site there, it`s taking almost 10 seconds to load and it`s not even a match day. The site has not been optimised properly. Take a look at the main expanded navigation. It doesn`t even fit on the one screen. It doesn`t all need to be on there. It`s like they`re listing every single page. There are more logical ways of presenting content heavy sites and also making sure the most important (to the audience) stuff isn`t hard to find. On the plus side, it`s almost accessible for all users. It`s easy to stand at the sidelines and say " this could be better" but we`re supposed to be getting this done by an experienced, professional company and either they aren`t up to it or whoever is managing this from the club`s side isn`t. (The Aston Villa site is the same template and possibly worse so I`d guess it`s the company churning out the same stuff) Reply |
| 18. Author: Citizen Par Date: Wed 22nd Jul 2026. 12:45 As someone who is profoundly deaf the new website is pretty poor. Most content is now video and none of that has close captions or there is no transcript for those who need to read what is being said. I`ve already reached out to the Disability Officer about this but am still waiting on a reply. It may be new but it seems to have taken a step backwards for me. Reply |
| 19. Author: Swisspar Date: Wed 22nd Jul 2026. 13:05 Perhaps an app to make access easier? Reply |
| 20. Author: brian Date: Wed 22nd Jul 2026. 13:19 Ok, so I can learn something here. There are two bits to the system The OTT platform website and the video steam production. I`m guessing the access platform isn`t clear to use. Ive not been to the stadium in 2 years, so unsure of the production setup. What I gather is the video output stream seems different. So what`s the actual difference between the ParsTV output and that on DAFC live? ____________________ contact: email me Reply |
