City United website stats at Friday 16th February. (Click to enlarge)

Basically, the home page of the site has averaged 499 hits per week since it commenced on 16/10/09. Bective East is the only other club with an "active" website, altough their activity is limited to very few weekly updates. They have been operating for a year longer and they average 217 hits a week (still very good for a sporting club).

Thanks for using our site and making it successful.
