The good news; the new Guardian Sport and Football sites were launched successfully, and seem to be working fine. The bad news; 24 hour licensing notwithstanding, we couldn't find anywhere to serve us a beer at two in the morning. Grrr.

Update: More on the new sites here; Our new look.

First, half of it is earmarked for redevelopment, then the other half goes up in smoke.

Of course, they say they'll rebuild, but it'll never be the same. :-(
