Fanroom Beta is launched

So Fanroom is live and in Beta. It's been a long summer of work and Japanese food but we've got something useable up and running. Go gentle with us.

Here's where we're at: we've listed as many pubs in London as we can. Why London? a) Because it's where we're based. b) Because being a big city where the need to find out which pubs play sport is more pressing/useful (in a small town for example, you could easily remember which pubs show sport) c) If we can get it to work here, it should work for other cities too.

We've currently got 234 pubs listed. We reckon that's about half of all sports bars in the city. It's also more than any other sites out there that do the same thing. Oh yes, there are competitors but they're limited by charging venues to be on there. Ours is a database built by fans (us), with reviews from fans (you) and for fans (all those other fans).

It's all about the reviews and ratings, coming together to be as useful for everyone as possible. If you want a simple way to remember it, we're like Trip Advisor for sports pubs. Got that? Awesome.
