Okay…you might have noticed – things have changed around here.

After months and months of time, money, sweat and tears – we thought we’d roll out the new layout just to see if things held together. It’s a gamble – it may disappear before your very eyes and revert back to the old Scout. Then again, it might be here to stay.

We hope that all goes smoothly – the that the new layout settles on our servers and will provide the basis for a new era for the site. Let’s see how we go.

There is more to do (we know the Watchlist is incomplete and the poll is old). More features to roll out – particularly within the comments code. For now, we’re taking baby steps – although this is a pretty big first stride.

So then, if you stayed with us long enough to reach this ungodly hour, you get to the see the new look on the live servers – a proper first.

We hope you like.

Ps: apologies for any lost comments from the last couple of hours – needs must I’m afraid.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      Also thinking of Aguero to RVP, especially as the Gooners have favourable fixtures to GW13 - save for Chelski GW10...

      Sorting that - we launched the design with some old data.

    Mark and fellow Scouts,

    Already posted my glowing feedback of the new site format, so time for a bit (only a bit) of constructive criticism. Could you reduce the amount of space the "SHARE THIS STORY" and "ABOUT THE AUTHOR" section takes up?

    On a PC, you can scroll down pretty quickly to the comments but on a phone it's a bit of a pain, and by using the much space does it reduce the number of posts you're limiting to a page? I like the fact you can hide replies as then you can home in on the topics you want to read about and reply to... and thinking about it, that must help with the number of posts you can fit on a page anyway.

    It looks very polished, well done again.

    Modric Anderson Mata Silva
    Agbonlahor Adebayor Aguero

    Krul Moses Simpson Knight

    1.3 in the bank and I've got 2 free transfers this gameweek, are there any players that are rising that have good fixtures in the next 5ish weeks? I'm holding out on Aguero as from what I've heard injury isn't serious.

    Only problem with the new layout means the scout picks looks like a 4-4-2-3 formation.

    But good work, felt like a slightly amateur job before(not in terms of content) and now it looks like your rolling in the moolah
