For anyone that has noticed a few issues with updates to the stats and Player Rater results, fear not, they will be updated and all of the ratings you have provided Bantams.Online with are very important to the website moving forward. At the moment a lot of work is going on in the background to ensure the website is faster, has more useful content for Bradford City fans and is more interactive, but this is a big job and it takes time to carry out. So for now, there are a few things being delayed, but it is for the greater good!
All of the fans ratings will be kept and displayed so you can see how players have progressed with the team throughout their careers and there will be more fan inspired statistics and info that will be added as well. The ratings also contribute to our own Bantams.Online Bradford City Player of the Year awards, so at the end of each season the highest rated players are then put to you to vote on and decide. But also you will be able to track a players form based on fans rating in an easy to view monthly chart guide that will give you a quick visual reference of how a player is getting on. Sometimes a bad run of form can lead to a lower average rating overall, but with this guide you’ll be able to see at a glance which players have improved the most and who’s form has tailed off after a good start.
There are more plans in the pipeline for the new season to make the most of the information you give us, including an end of season league table based on your rating for the the teams that have played against us and the best and worse referees in League Two.
But for now, thank you for your patience as you may have noticed a few glitches with the statistics. These will be put right in due course but all eyes are on the long term of the website so due to not having staff, it is down to good old hard work by one person to get it all done. Unfortunately this means for now, some things have to take a back seat, but that will change once the big jobs are out of the way in time for the new season.
There will also be more articles coming to this website and if anyone would like to contribute feel free to leave a comment or use our contact form to get in touch.
Anyway thank you once again to everyone who has contributed to the Player Rater and other fan led things on here. All the information will be used and published, even if some of it has meant a bit of a wait. If there are any ideas about what you’d like to see, feel free to leave your ideas in the comments as now is the time, whilst the big jobs are being undertaken and something can be done about it.
