The site is a damn joke, the football section is pathetic.

It's the same everywhere in life. People insist on breaking things that are already working just fine thank you very much.

I have had to manually re-enter nearly 200 individual entry links and they are working again. I hope not to have to repeat the exercise. Is there a nag me facility that gives 48 hours notice out there?

wont be using their new site at any point
so if the old site is not going to be maintained its bye bye sporting life |
|
By:
sportinglive.co.uk gone here too! Crazy decision!
|
|
By:
Yes, confirmed here that 'sportinglive.co.uk' has been taken down. Perhaps they've responded to the 'take the site down' that posters have requested on here!
|
|
By:
all I know now is that will only use the site now for the video replays. rest is a clutterfook!
|
|
By:
Old site gone here also.
|
|
By:
I used the old SL website first and foremost for the quick results facility that was on there, but not there (as far as I know) on the new SL website.
|
|
By:
This new site is no good to me bye bye
|

By:
FFS - it would be nice if even the basic stuff worked!
You used to be able to go to https://www.sportinglife.com/racing/results And then click on Fast Results for a course and see all the results for that course on a single page. Now, every Fast Results link for every course takes you to the main Fast Results page and the latest results for EVERY course. Surely a fairly basic requirement for any web site is that the links f****** work! |

Can anyone is Sporting life tells us the hardon for racing colours? I dont care what colours the placed horses wore after the race; it is also causing errors in google chrome trying to link to them.
|
|
By:
Now live site gone if you go to a race on oddschecker not the prices but horse details below & click on a horse you get all the career form site sponsored by 365, no replays but form like the live site was showing until it was taken off.
|
|
By:
New site is almost unusable for me, I have already swapped to RP site but that is a joke in comparison to old SL site, nightmare all round, especially with cheltenham just around the corner.
|
|
By:
What have they done here? Taken an half serious site and turned it into a dumbed down joke is what.
Unfortunately it's all part of a general trend in racing to put aesthetics (if you like that kind of thing) over functionality and substance. There has clearly been no consultation with anyone that actually uses the site for anything useful. |
|
By:
We've spent loads of time and money developing this new site and we don't care whether or not you like it.

didn't think it would be long before they banjaxed the sporting life live site, that's it then, can't look up old form and watch old races.

old site gone?
[ This image is no longer available. ] |

finally we dont have to go onto skybet.com to log in
|
|
By:
Amazing, two people moan live site still there so its taken down.
Hundreds of people moan about the new site, & they don't care less  |
|
By:
Goodness me -
If the sportingLIVE (old) site has been taken down to try and force people to use the 'New' site - then that is an utterly awful decision - and smacks of nothing other than both ignorance and arrogance. |
|
By:
They've now put all their eggs in one basket.
A more stupid decision you couldn't imagine. Whoever is in charge - needs sacking. Utter incompetency |
|
By:
Shocking decision if its a permanent one
|
|
By:
I just cannot get over how poor it is.....
 |
|
By:
Bye bye Sporting Life.
|
|
By:
sporting life bookmark now in the recycle bin - Any suggestions for the best alternatives where a decent amount of form is available on the same page please ?
|
|
By:
At the races is probably the best alternative
|
|
By:
Yes ATR, and they give the prize money win total as well.
Which the RacingPost site has abandoned. |
|
By:
Can't believe that their SP Forecast for each race is just the Skybet odds.
|
|
By:
Thanks Olias and Dr.Crippen - will take a while to adjust - got so used to the format it was 2nd nature to scan through.
|
|
By:
And me. Tabs from right to left: Proform racecards, Oddschecker, Racing Post online digital newspaper (not Racing Post website, never ever used that) Sporting Life, BHA website (for weather and latest going conditions. If anyone knows a better site please let me know.)

By:
ffs where's the simple access to the football league tables on there? I assume it's hidden there somewhere?? Used to be so straightforward...
 |
|
By:
does any one know where the football in running league tables are hidden away
|

Sky Sports Racing pages now appear to be the majority of the old sportinglife site, a few things take a bit extra navigation or the links are in different positions, but all seems to be there:
fast results: http://www.skysports.com/racing/results/fast-results fast results by meeting also there. ABC guide/Runners Index: http://www.skysports.com/racing/abc-entries-guide (never used myself not sure if the same) Going: http://www.skysports.com/racing/going-reports/todays |
|
By:
sky sports doesn't have a horse profile search does it?
|
|
By:
yes looks like its here: http://www.skysports.com/racing/video-form
