Hello good evening and welcome

I just wanted to say a quick hello from myself and the Watchman and hope you all enjoy your stay in the new and improved forum and site.

There are at present a lot of changes and some things to get used to and also a lot of things that will be changed and tweaked in the future.

At present we have not released this site onto any of the search engines as we want to tighten up the ship a little and get it all working right. At the moment this will be a word of mouth site so although we are few we can still say a lot and please spread the word to other Raider fans based in the UK that we are here.

Lets start with what we have so far. As you would have seen we now have a front page that again needs a bit of formatting and work but the principle and mechannics are cool which is where you will be able to see all the latest news and developments as we add them. The main meat of these stories will be presented in the forums and the links on the main page will go straight to the stories concerned.

As you will also notice in the forum we do have a stories section for you lot to put your heads together and get searching and writing stories, news etc into. They will always be read and if they are good enough will also be transferred to the front page with a mention of yourself.

You will also see from the front page that we now have a live chat section. All you've got to do is sign in and off we go. This will be great for gametime or if you're a little lonely at work then get on there and see who's on.

I would also like to mention that this site is built specifically for you and we are always open to suggestions on ways to improve the site as time goes on. If you want a new board in the forum then speak up, if ya want a new feature added then let us know and we'll get on it as soon as possible.

Please just bear in mind that this is a work in progress and is far from finished but we thought that as the schedule approaches fast and training camps are starting then we would let you lot loose on it and make it your new home.

I hope you enjoy everything we have at present and everything we still have to offer. All changes we will make you aware of as they happen.

Have a good one all and once again welcome.

Gazzara and the Watchman.
