Welcome to the brand spanking new Arsenal Report!

Posted by Ix Techau over 9 years ago · 8 replies

For the last six months, I've been re-writing Arsenal Report from scratch to better suit our purposes. We started out in 2011 as a simple blog focusing on Cox-style tactical analysis and investigative editorials, but after years of trying to find enough writers we had to give up the blog format.

I then started focusing on building databases instead. I started with the Transfer Centre - researching every transfer and its details since 1996 - and then I created the Injury Room at the start of the 2013-2014 season.

It was clear that with the amount of data now available, the purpose of the site had changed drastically. So Arsenal Report has now become something else. Not only is it a detailed database over transfers, players, historic data, injuries and seasons, but it's also a community for Arsenal supporters.

The best part is that since this platform is now 100% custom built, we can adapt and change anything on the fly. If you find an error in the data, or would like to see a new feature or data set, just let me know.

Here's what's new:

Community

  • Create posts and discuss latest news
  • Level up as a user to compete on the leaderboards
  • Get achievement badges for participating in the community
  • AMA functionality
  • Your own profile page, with custom cover image

Injury Room

  • Currently injured players, with estimates and details
  • Season breakdown
  • Body zone breakdown
  • Player-by-player details
  • Complete injury history from 2013 and onwards

Transfer Centre

Players

  • First team squad breakdown (homegrown, U21, etc)
  • Historic squads with transfer and injury details
  • Season data overview

General

  • Fully responsive (plus 'add to home screen' functionality on iOS)

I hope you all enjoy the new Arsenal Report, and help make it a better place by getting involved in the community and reporting any possible data errors. Have fun!

Sorry if this is the wrong place, but I didn't see anywhere to report general bugs with the site. The settings for the profile at http://www.arsenalreport.com/users/edit simply result in an error 500 code (and an interesting threat).

Edit: It is working now FYI.

Site looking fantastic.

Great to see lots of new users too. Be good to have some kind of email that can be sent to them a week after registration, perhaps with latest topics. Want to keep them interested and engaged.
