I've used various football administration packages over the past 30 years
or so but have found football.mitoo the most comprehensive to date. I had
to transfer both registrations and fixtures to football.mitoo at short notice
- and the transition was much easier and better than I had anticipated.
I'm convinced that Toolstation League clubs will benefit from the extra information
that will be made available to them - and also welcome the opportunity to
be able to provide that information much sooner than in the past. (August 24, 2006)
Ken Clarke Company Secretary & Director
Toolstation Western Football League
football.mitoo is so easy to use,
even newcomers to computers and the internet can pick it up rapidly.
The administration and dissemination of information to all our clubs
has been made very much easier and far more comprehensive. Improvements
are being made all the time. Convince Julian that any improvement would
be to the benefit of the majority of users and he works hard to achieve
it. There is no comparable system I can find and I have been looking
for such as this ever since the internet arrived, and it is FREE, unbelievable
but true. (March 29, 2005)
Tony Pringle Competitions/Registrations Secretary
Halls of Cambridge Sunday Football League
... all of the clubs sing its praise
on a regular basis. I have no doubt we will carry on next season using
this first
class free service. Thank
you for all your help. (March 15, 2005)

I am now using the website on a
regular basis and must firstly congratulate you on the superb information
it produces, much of which is automatically updated upon input. It has
certainly made my job a lot easier and I wish I had discovered the site
a lot earlier than this season. (Sept 10, 2004)
Geoffrey Hobbs
League Administrator and Treasurer
Surrey
& Hants Border Football League
Just a big thank you for supplying the site. It has really gone very well. Phone calls and emails have only been of praise!!!!! Few things still
to learn but even that is fun. (Sept 11, 2004)
Ron Bennett
League Secretary
Colchester
& East Essex Football League
Thanks a lot Julian for your help.
You will notice that we are using the referee allocations this season,
and we shall be using the assistants in the Premier Division. There
is no doubt about it, following on from the success of last season,
using football.mitoo has elevated the League to new heights.
The Clubs in particular have found football.mitoo to be a tremendous
benefit to them. (July 19, 2003)
Barry Snelson

This will be my third season with football.mitoo.
It really does all I need to administer the league. I wouldn't be without it. (June 29, 2005)
Bruce Badcock Competitions Director

We are having great success with
the website. Many thanks. (March 15, 2005)

is absolute top quality.
A massive thank you. (Sept. 18, 2004)

site, it has become the primary means of communicating match information
to our league members. (Sept. 18, 2004)

and your help, the site is really good and easy to maintain. (Feb. 18,

by all who use it. Many Thanks (July 21, 2003)

Thanks for your help so far. I'm very impressed with the ease of use
of the system. I will be waxing lyrical about the website. (November

I had little knowledge of football.mitoo until Julian spoke his piece about the system in July at the annual F.A. National Leagues Conference at Birmingham. Being an inquisitive person by nature I decided to follow up Julian’s offer to visit and view his Internet system.
Hellenic Football League records were maintained on various 'Excel' spreadsheets, which was fine to a certain extent. The main disadvantages were the collation of data, input of the data to the various spreadsheets and being unable to produce meaningful reports from various elements of that system.
Within a short time of viewing the capabilities of football.mitoo I could see this would be a far better way of maintaining league records and early in August I asked Julian to set the Hellenic League up as a football.mitoo user. Since then things have progressed well with myself and Assistant Sec/Treasurer, Clive Webb, dealing with the data input on a day by day basis. Requests have been made to Julian for some enhancements to the system, which have been dealt with in a very professional and speedy manner.
I would estimate that input time on the player registration and appearance element has been the greatest time saver followed closely by the facility to send player registration lists to member clubs each week. The amount of time needed to update the player data base has been halved from last season. The time taken to produce and send up to sixty player registration lists by E-mail and Fax is a far cry from the good old days of 'copy & paste' of Excel spread sheets. Match results are usually posted on the system within an hour of matches ending and league tables are updated instantly and downloaded for inclusion in the League's weekly 'Bootroom Chatter' bulletin.
football.mitoo is an easy system to understand and operate. There are, of course, some limitations to the system but any requests for system enhancements are quickly dealt with and I know there are some changes to the system being written for implementation next season.
The Hellenic League is into the sixth week of its 50th anniversary season and using football.mitoo has been an added bonus and even allows me some time with my wife and family that I haven't had in previous seasons.
Brian King
General Secretary

On behalf of this League, and all the clubs associated with the League, I would like to thank football.mitoo for the excellent service provided throughout the season. It has been an invaluable asset, and its ease of use is also a bonus. I look forward to continuing our association for the new season.
Les Pharo
League Secretary

In the first year of being included on the site, both the Competitions Secretary and I have found it to be a very useful tool in our administration. An increasing number of our Clubs are also making use of the site and probably more will do so in the future. We look forward to making even greater use of the site in season 2002/2003.
Peter Drum
Hon General Secretary

football.mitoo is a very user friendly tool that any computer illiterate could cope
with in next to no time, with dedicated advice and help available if needed.
I would have no hesitation in recommending this service to anyone.
Football
administration is no longer a nightmare, and it's FREE!
On behalf of The London Airport Midweek Football League, I wish you all the
success your efforts at football.mitoo deserve.

Results Secretary and Vice Chairperson

Feedback from the clubs has been fantastic.
The fact that the site has been so easy to update
has also made my life easier - and as a club secretary myself, I love being able to track the latest results,
tables and fixtures on a regular basis.

Press Results Secretary

Thank you on behalf of the L.C.F.L. for your help and
support during the 2001-02 season. This is the third complete
season we have used the football.mitoo
site and once again you have come up trumps.
I do hope you will be able to facilitate our needs
for the 2002-03 season.
Regards
Dave Bell

Just to say all the clubs were very impressed with the website and as for
myself the efficiency of the site it made my job easy. Here's to season
2002/2003.
Eddie Wood
Vauxhall Mini Soccer League
The website is ever improving and it helps when we have to update up to 60 results to use the 'batch input' system. The instant on-line capability means that players, team managers and organisers can save time and money by using the site to see where they are in the league, latest news and future fixtures. This is the best system we have had.
Bob Glozier
Southern England Students Sports Association

Your site is excellent and has been invaluable to us this season. We are already looking forward to next season when we hope you will be able to help us extend our service to our teams. Until we started using your site it would take until Tuesday to get results published on the net but now all results are available by evening on Sunday for all to see. Many many thanks for providing us with such excellent facilities.

League Chairman

I would recommend football.mitoo to all Leagues.
The Referees' section has been of great benefit to me allowing me to
keep up to date tables of the Referees' and Assistant Referees' marks.
A number of the match officials look at the site to get advance
warning of their appointments.
Everything we have asked for to be included on the site has been done without fuss.

Any project is only as good as the person(s) who instigate and organise it.
Hard work, organisation, knowledge of the subject, time and having good connections will
ensure that the project is successful.
football.mitoo have achieved all of the above and is
a site
that captures all that is good for non-league football, a site that all
ambitious leagues should be on.
We are
proud to be involved with football.mitoo and wish the site further success.
It is a credit to Julian and the people who assist him.
We extend our best wishes to football.mitoo for the future and the CMFL will give
the site its full support.
Frank Harwood
Chairman/General Secretary
Redfern Removers Central Midlands Football League
Football Mitoo is an excellent service.
We find it much faster and easier to put our results
on the site as soon as they come in, even
before we put them on our own web site
, and with a link and a message from our own site they will get the results and standings at
Mitoo first.
The referee marks and sporting awards are first class
, it certainly saves some
leg work come season's end. I can't see how it could possibly be improved upon.
Martin Thomas
Competitions Secretary

I thought I was good until I tried football.mitoo
- I had all the fixtures & results on excel spreadsheets and a fully automatic league table system
which I emailed to 75% of the League one hour after the results came in.
But football.mitoo surpassed all of that.
The only thing it doesn't do is make a decent cup of tea.
Excellent !!!!! Keep up the good work.
John Greenacre
Fixture Secretary
Greater London Regional Womens Football League
The football.mitoo system is a simple and easy to use football tool
that is proving to be an excellent communications medium for
those at my club and anyone interested in football.

I personally find the system so quick and easy to use, the instant update
is so valuable, and my own teams love the fact that in many cases their
result is on line and tables updated within a minute or two of them
phoning the result. This literally means that
in some cases
the result and goal scorers and updated tables are on the net within 3 - 5 minutes of
the final whistle.
Steve Owst
Assistant Secretary
Hull Sunday Football League
... your service is absolutely fantastic.
I can usually connect within minutes of the
final whistle and not only see the results of all other games in my league,
but scorers as well! Instant league table updates mean that there is always
plenty to talk in the pub during the post-match pint!
The ability to search previous and forthcoming fixtures is also invaluable -
especially when the league handbook isn't always readily to hand - and more
so now more and more of my players have internet access. Please keep up the good work!

...
allows ALL our clubs to get immediate up to date
information
about league business - from fixtures & league tables to forthcoming events &
officers contact details.
... assists clubs with planning their future fixture &
travel arrangements.
... allows me as a fixture secretary, to cross check all
fixtures & results, as the season progresses.
Colin Harman

From my point of view
it's a simple system to use
, especially as I am feeding
details in for more than one league.
Basic layout is simple and easy to follow, and I am finding that my
players are not only going to check the league they play in, but are also
checking for results in other leagues for details of the various teams that my
own club (Spelthorne Sports) runs.
I tend to find that on a
Monday evening we have league tables up on the
notice board from the four leagues we are in.
I have also noticed that the players tend to discuss the results of
their opposition for forthcoming matches.

An administrator's dream.
Site control where it counts - by the League.
No "third party" involvement which can lead to errors.
Direct input gives accurate results and tables.
Results can be posted on the day of the fixture.
Wrongly given results or scores can be quickly corrected.
Points awarded or deducted can be input within hours of a decision.
Fixtures can be posted weekly, monthly or for the season.
Cancelled games can be easily removed and rescheduled.
League tables updated automatically from administrator's input.
Site visitors get accurate results and tables.
John Murphy

As a League Administrator, I see the football.mitoo system as the way
forward for any football league. It gives a much more
professional approach to organising and collating fixtures. It has taken
the stress and time consuming energy away from
mis-matching eight Divisions of eleven teams. The information/statistics on individual team fixtures, their results
and progress in Cup Competitions is second to none.
The hard
work of generating league tables using other software and long winded
methods has been removed at a stroke.
It is an exciting
programme, it is user friendly, eyecatching and very easy to gain
competence in using. The standard for football administration has
been set by the football.mitoo system.
The modern technologly helps to promote and establish the League as
creditable and well orgainised. It also gives a wider
basis/platform to the League for persons interested in local football in
Middlesex and on a much wider basis - throughout the Country.
Club secretaries and players can access information at the tip of their
fingers to be updated of their team's performance, League
position and results. They can find out who the opposition is next
week, quicker than waiting for the postman to arrive.
The transfer of information throughout the League's home paper, whether it
be to highlight a club's success, League news, or social news
has generated a wider interest, more discussion and new ideas that the
League officers can take on board and develop.
Need I say anymore? I'm delighted with the programme.

Fixtures Secretary

I think the best things about the site are the opening page, the map of
England showing all of the Counties makes it very easy to navigate. The
other thing is
the speed of it, it's very fast switching between pages.
Samantha Smith

Not being experienced in this type of operation, I found that once the
system was explained to me, it was easy to operate. I found it
comfortable to access, alter matches, dates and keep updated.
The site also proves
invaluable to not only our management committee but
to all the clubs and especially those clubs that produce their own match
programmes/magazines.
It also proves invaluable to our fixture secretary
as he can see at a glance, which matches have still to be scheduled.
I would also like to thank you for all the help and advice you have
given us and continue to provide.

General Secretary

Cos football.mitoo generates a league table after you enter the weekly
results,
my life is a hell of a lot easier because now I don't get any
phone calls saying the table is wrong!
Other secretaries have stopped asking me 'who have we got next week'
(when the newsletter may be late arriving) because they are fed up with me
telling them football.mitoo.co.uk
Other secretaries are aware of important information prior to receiving
their newsletter....i.e. Our league have called an emergency general
meeting and cos they have access to the site they know about it sooner.
People can instantly find out who they have left to play, by simply
clicking on the unscheduled fixtures icon.
Warren McMahon

The new web site has made my life so much easier! No more need
to calculate league tables every week and certainly no mistakes. Less phone
calls as the majority of clubs have access to the site and can see
fixture changes and results for themselves. Also, the news section gives the
opportunity to communicate with others -
we are particularly pleased with
the number of applications we have had for next season
as a result of a
request placed in this section.
We are now looking forward to next season when
by making use of the referee section
we may be able to dispense completely
with the costly printing of fixtures for the monthly league meetings.
All I can say is a big thank you for setting this up and good luck with your
future projects.
Jim Finnigan
Fixtures Secretary

As a novice I was struggling to publish our fixtures and results on the
web. football.mitoo has made it so simple and easy, it really is idiot
proof.
This guy phoned me just before Christmas
and talked me into
trying football.mitoo to publish my Leagues' fixtures and results. At the
time I was struggling to get to grips with HTML and Ftp and all sorts of
other meaningless initials so I gave it a try and it was so simple and
I was
immediately hooked and have used it ever since.
Highly recommended by West Middlesex Sunday Football League, football.mitoo has literally put
our humble Sunday League on the World Wide Web map.
Chris Ravenhill
Appeals & Match Records Secretary

We signed up on football.mitoo in January after trying all the others.
The help and advice we received in order to tailor our site to fit our
requirements was second to none.
This was the only site that offered such a service.
The updating is easy and straightforward.
Many of our Clubs access the site and are forever telling me what a valuable improvement to the League this system is.
We will have no reservations whatsoever
in renewing our links next season.

"It's great to be able to see all the fixtures for a season on the same site!"
Andy Wilcox, Harrow Weald Memorial Club FC
"Now I am used to it, it is a good advert for the League."
Pip Axtell, League Secretary
"At last the Harrow Sunday Challenge League is on the web,
it must be a step in the right direction."
Mick Culloty, Reignville Athletic FC
"Having tried unsuccessfully all season to prepare a website for the League,
this facility came along. Although it took a few hours work to get the League up to
date on the site, now all the hard work is done
it only takes a few minutes each Sunday to
update things. I just wish I had got the League on earlier.
Well done football.mitoo, keep up the good work."
