I will volunteer to write a visitors guide to Quins however, for the away HEC game.
You are on with that one mike I was looking forward to doing one for Calvisano but due to inability of HEC to draw us with them it will have to go on hold
I could do one for Llanelli as well... however it would say something like, under no circumstances stay in Llanelli and get in and out as fast as you possibly can.. as that is what I have always done.

would it also include advice against trying to walk to stradey from the hotel on the outskirts in teeming rain?? or taking the two-carriage "train of the living dead" from swansea?? or talking to ageing santa claus-lookalikes about johnny foreigners??

Some great ideas there. Programming a way for people to add comments to each match report (like we did before) is possible, not for uploading images though. Thats more difficult, especially as captcha needs to be used to stop bots from adding porn links etc
Unfortunately the gallery member login stopped working when the messageboard got updated. Don't know how interested people are in adding their own photos. There isn't a good enough gallery to add to the forum software as yet either. No effective bridge works yet. I liked it though, it just wasn't used enough.
The links to non-updated stuff will go, as the articles are out of date, and will just be archived The AIL stuff was just too hard to get on time updates for, especially from here across the water.
The front page will take more of a portal look and feel, as the messageboard is the heart of the website, with articles and features hopefully written by members. I will be looking for volunteers, if anyone has any suggestions...
The visitors guide will change a little too, probably with a google maps extension, and links to grounds, how to get there etc
Perhaps a "what the papers say" section for rugby in general, and Ulster in particular.
RSS feeds should be possible, again with only rugby. we'll see.
*I stayed at the stradey park hotel, just a short walk away. It was great...

.. and don't trust anyone that says "Stradey? Its only 5 minutes walk away".... and don't turn down the offer of a lift... .. and don't take inflable sheep into Swansea nightclubs....

That's my project for the summer - try to remember the details of various bars around europe. Harder than it sounds! I may have to carry our some follow-up research.
