New Feature: EPLUpdates on your mobile
Within minutes of the first match being covered, there were calls for a mobile-friendly edition of EPLUpdates so that hockey fans at matches could keep up-to-date with what was happening in the rest of the league, and those who were away from their computers could still keep up with the latest scores.
Having experimented with a number of different solutions, it was decided that the best was a provide the LiveScores page in a mobile-friendly format. Bookmark http://www.eplupdates.co.uk/mobile on your phone and let us know what you think!
(Your mobile operator's data charges still apply. Please ensure that you are aware of them before using this service, especially if you do not have a free data plan.)
New Feature: EPLBlog!
Pre-launch, the dynamic duo at FiveMinuteMajor approached with the idea of tying-in an "all league blog" to which contributors from across the league could post their news and views on the current season.
EPLUpdates is now excited to present its latest feature - http://eplhockey.blogspot.com - "The Unofficial EPL Hockey Blog"! We're still looking for contributors, so if you would like to take part, contact us and we'll get you set up as soon we can.

You can help!
While online begging is annoying, this site does take money to run. Not a lot, but still it's money out of out my wages from my day job along with the time and effort spent maintining the site. If you'd like to donate towards the running of the site - please feel free to use the PayPal button on the right. All monies collected via that button will be used for the running of EPLUpdates.co.uk, and should there be any left over at the end of each season, that will be donated to a UK based junior hockey development programme.
