Welcome to 2005 Lions

Welcome to 2005 Lions

Welcome to "possibly" the most complete BRITISH & IRISH LIONS archive site on the internet. This site is unofficial and just one of a number of supporter's sites that are available to peruse. It is not in any way intended to be anything other than a source of information.

I do not claim to have the best or most complete Lions site on the net, far from it. As visitors may have noticed, I have had very little chance to apply any updates to this site since last Summer. For this I can only apologise. I'm a one-man band that has been caught up in a mire of other things. However, that rarity of rarities is underway - a revamp and updates!

I will be doing my best to keep up with as many news items as I can, and to increase the articles in the archive. I will get as complete a history of all things Lions as I can, may not be complete until South Africa 2009, but it will get there.

As I have not had a look at this stuff in close to a year, there may some glitches with the changeover, bear with me - it is a work in progress over the next few weeks.

I will be doing my utmost to bring as much possible information regarding the Lions in to one location. There is a fairly extensive history of the Lions already on the site, not complete by any means, but far more complete than some sites have claimed. I hope to be able to add more reports, accounts and anecdotes from previous tours over the next year - I have a lot of information to go through in the next few months. We all know about 1997 and 2001, but I am sure there are others out there like myself who would enjoy reading articles from earlier tours.

Once again I must apologise for the lack of updates in the last year. I can now start spending some time on this site once more and should be able to keep updates fairly common from now on.

History items will be added as and when I get the time to sift through them.

As the site changes and grows into its current format, a few things must be noted. If anything changes colour as you pass your cursor over it, be it a big change in colour, or an underline appearing below a word or phrase, this denotes either an internal link, an external link or an email address.

that's about all you need to know for navigation. That and that general site navigation is in the left-hand column, useful links are in the right-hand column and a few information links are in the page footer.
