As I am taking my sweet time developing the next evolution of this site, I thought I'd provide an update just to show I am actually working away.

www.formula-digital.com - this is where is will all be happening.
Once live you will be greeted with a screen quite a lot like this one:

Search Preview
Teams Preview
Previews off all the new goodies will have to wait. The site is being redesigned from the ground up, that is why progress is slow. But it is coming and I am genuinely excited for you guys to see it.
