Live Updates: What went wrong?

As the supporters who were looking out for our live updates service, or signed up for texts will be aware, things went slightly awry this afternoon. The messageboard became inaccessable and text messages arrived late bearing news of a 12-0 defeat by Tonbridge.

The system was used successfully by Kingstonian all last season, and by ourselves on Tuesday night, but today saw the system being used by multiple clubs for the first time. Clearly something went awry this afternoon and having been in contact with livescores they are confident that they've tracked down the problem and solved it for Tuesday night. They also added that they apologise for any inconvenience to supporters (or distress caused by the thought that we were 12-0 down at half time!) and have promised to refund credits to all supporters who were sent the erroneous messages.

The service will continue for Tuesday night's tie at Hampton, and we are confident the result will be somewhat more successful after this afternoon's teething problems.
