    If I were you I'd hire a designer on these forums to give it a fresh skin.

    Oh my.... how old is the site? ~8 years?

    The design is simple, but awful. Can't call it a design, rather call it "layout".
    P.S. no offense.

    Harsh but thanks for the advice. Some of the best websites in the world have a very simple design but thanks for the advice anyway.

    It looks a little crowded to me, seams like everything is being pushed in my face at once a bit overwhelming. I also think all the links at the top when you look at them its as if they all seam to blend into one and you loose concentration straight off.
    Whats the average time people spent on your site and whats your percentage of repeat visitors that should tell you more about your design/layout.

    Hope this helps :)

    It is really quite good when Images, CSS and Page colors are disabled.

    joe5000 - Adam Nugent thanks for the advice guys my visitors really like my site and on average targeted visitors will browse anything from a few minutes to a couple of hours.

    I love football so for me the site is just fun but lately i have been getting more and more targeted traffic and starting to make some money from google adsense.

    I am starting to take it more serious now because my site really seems to be taking off with out any real effort on promotion or website design.

    Hi,

    Your website looking nice, it will or better if background color will change. It will pretty nice if its background color would be dark.

    Thanx.

    In the end, it's what you want your site to look like. You can still keep it simple and make it look nice too.
