Tuesday @ The Almanac

 

 

G’day to everyone in the Footy Almanac community.

The Footy Almanac website is back up, and running, and we will continue to bring you stories as we have done since 2009.

Unfortunately, last Friday, we had to shut down the website while we dealt with a number of pressing matters which needed to be addressed before continuing. Our apologies for that, but we felt it was the best way of dealing with the situation.

These issues have been resolved sufficiently for the site to be operational and public again. 

The overall structure, function and appearance of the site remain the same but you may notice some changes to how individual stories look when you open them. We’re doing what we can to make this temporary. Thanks, especially, go to James Demetrie, of Diskman (our major sponsor), Paul Noonan and our team of editors.

Thank you for the many enquiries about the state of play. We find the sentiments you conveyed and the concern you showed very heartening.

Regards, JTH and the crew.
