Golden Boot Game Web Log

WEB SITE CHANGES

Those players who have signed in during the last three days will have noticed that they now land on the My Profile page for their team. Although the Dashboard page is still available, it no longer has any useful information about your team on it. If you want to know how many tokens your team has yet to exchange, you will now have to look on the My Profile page instead. All other team pages have been removed, so you cannot look at last season’s scores for your team anymore.

We are hopeful that these recent changes will be the last ones we ever have to make to the Golden Boot Game website. We cannot be sure this is the case because sometimes external factors, such as changes made by our web hosts, force changes upon us. Any errors, bugs or quirks that do not affect the ability of our players to exchange prize tokens are likely to be ignored from now on. We will only intervene if there are issues with the process of exchanging tokens and then only to restore the current functionality.

DELETED TEAMS

Sixteen teams from last season that have already exchanged all their prize tokens (or who had not won any to exchange) have now been deleted from the Golden Boot Game. The players who owned those teams can no longer log on to the Golden Boot Game website.

The teams deleted in the last month were: Bury Wanderer, Cheshire Town, Eight Wizards, J1J1, Lancashire Rover, M1, Magic Eight Balls, Merrall’s Marauders, Ming’s Dynasty, Noboots, Pain In The Arsenal, Silly Rockets, Sofy, Team Of The Weak, Upforthecup and Weakenders.

The players who Coached these teams will have all their emails and any other data deleted from our systems over the next few days. Once this is complete we will inform them via email that all their data has been erased.

TEAMS WITH PRIZE TOKENS TO REDEEM

There are still some ten players from last season whose teams still have prize tokens that are yet to be redeemed. There are five teams that each have ten tokens to be redeemed. These are: fdringo, Forest Forever, Imperial Boozeboys, OneunitedfanTrev and The Molineux Marauders. Four teams have just five prize tokens to be redeemed. These are: Alabangers, Molineux Marauders, The Magic Magpies NCFC and We Are THE REDS. I would like to remind any players who Coach more than one of these teams that they can combine the tokens from all their teams to give themselves a better choice of prizes.

There is now just one team that still has a significantly larger cache of prize tokens that are yet to be redeemed. Tels boot boys have 25 prize tokens carried over from previous seasons. We will contact all players who still have prize tokens to be redeemed at the end of each month until all their tokens have been exchanged.

OUR NEXT WEBLOG

We will be publishing our next weblog on Wednesday 7th August. By that time, we should have sent out our first set of emails to players. These will be reminding players of how many prize tokens they still have available to exchange. Hopefully this will trigger some players to redeem their tokens so that we will be able to remove more teams from our systems in due course.
