Watford FC News RSS

Being an (emerging) Watford FC fan, I've been finding it a little frustrating that their official site doesn't have an RSS feed.

So I wrote one. I've stuck it through feedburner.

Nice idea! Given that most club sites are run by the same company (Premium TV?) and use the same design, would you be able to advise other fans how to set up similar feeds for their clubs?

I could advise (it was a bit of screen-scraping), but I've decided that I'll probably just do the others myself. I'm guessing Sheffield United would be a good one to do next...

That would be an excellent choice - thanks!

You're welcome. I've done Blackburn and Bolton too now. I started on Reading, but there's a little more tweaking to do on that one.

It would be great if you could offer a guide as to how you did it, i'd love to get a collection of rss feeds for all the championship sides.

I'd happily do it myself if you could point me in the right direction, i'm not exactly new to this sort of thing :)
