Website to move to the RFU platform (First sports International) in January

Although payment has been made to Pitchero until the end of December the package has been cut to 3 teams.
We will now move to the official RFU sponsored site.

This is a free RFU First Sports International Website. Pitchero are asking for almost quadruple the current fee

The web address will be sent to identified administrators of each team to enable the new site to be kept up to date and any archive material moved across.

We hope to make the site live by the end of the month and will publish the address then

Much of the information on the site we have to provide for the RFU anyway.

In Pitchero we have to duplicate the information, officials, team captains, team managers etc we have already put into the RFU system
In the RFU site, all the Club Officials and Team Officials, team information, Results, Fixtures, League Table come directly from the RFU GMS system.
There is no duplication of entries thus saving a lot of time for volunteers .

The initial loading of the RFU site is a bit slow but after that, it is fairly speedy. Apparently, they are working on the speed as a priority.

To get the Next Fixtures or Latest Results for your team just click on the small white down arrow in the box on the Home page and choose your team.
To get league tables click on 'Teams' in the top menu and select your team, then choose 'League Table'.

It is less busy and easier to navigate than the Pitchero System, but the initial data uploading for the administrators takes a little getting used to. We are looking to hold a short training course for this.

Easily viewable on a mobile device with no annoying adverts popping up.
