On the 31st January 2013, Betfair are planning to remove the 'revert to old' function and therefore close down the current site that the majority of us use. This is inspite of a lot of negativity and objection from large numbers of their customers. In my opinion this is yet another blinkered decision my a company with zero customer focus.

In a vain last ditched attempt to stop them from ruining the product I ask you to sign this petition. If there is enough support for this cause I will direct Breon Corcoran (CEO Betfair PLC) to the contents as well as the Business editor of every national newspaper.

Thank you
Smiley Jack Happy

... but has there actually been an official announcement, because on the gen betting thread it didn't appear that they were doing it anytime soon?

new site slower, def more buggy, looks like it has been coloured in by a 3 year old with a box of Crayola.

the back/lay odds are squashed up into the right side of the screen with a big white gap in the middle of the screen as big as the Grand Canyon.

More screen space is given to Arcade and Games banners than the exchange you are trying to use, eg tiny space for your bet info with a massive roulette wheel above it.

Worst of all is that users are now used to the layout, text and colour schemes of the old site, I started on here when it opened and know every button and tick box instantly. New site not even comparable, I am messing about looking for refresh buttons and the like, simply not on !

The old site is like the wheel.
The programmers of the new site are trying to convince people that a hexagon is a good as wheel.
They put a lot of effort into inventing the hexagon but it will never turn like the wheel.
My advice go back to the wheel and oil the axle!!

Signed ,

the new site is sticky and unusable , very poorly laid out and easy to make a mistake on , half the time you dont know if your bet is struck , its a poor buisness decision if they go ahead

Old site , user friendly , familiar layout , easy to read and know your bet is struck

It may be new,but alas it's not improved
On the good site you can either back all or lay all in 1 click,so now you need to click every runner...nice when it's a 30 runner maiden in Ireland

I wont sign because I think now that all the bugs have been ironed out, the new site
is much better and the way to go but I wont say that its as good as it could be as
I think more research should be done into making as successful an exchange website
as possible with more new innovations around the core sports exchange instead of
more new products as its the exchange and the potential of live in running betting
made possible by the model is the greatest asset.

For a start I cant scroll down the forum content because no scroll bar appears on the new site forum display.

I don't want the spectre of the new site hanging around

I'd like to see some commitment from betfair to the wishes of the horse racing community on here and state definitively that they are keeping the current site because that is what the overwhelming majority want.
