Eight months ago we were looking to get openfooty live. Like footytube itself, it's taken a helluva' lot longer to get it to a place where we're happy.

As we thought of new features and ideas, the deadline for launch got pushed further and further back. Not to mention all the contactual negotiations with data feed providers dubious about the project.

But blimey was it all worth it!

We're very proud of what we've accomplished here, which is essentially the most powerful football API in existence and the ONLY, truly free football API to boot

But, before our heads swell up any further and explode into the monitor, let me just say thanks to you guys - the footytube community and the army of mods that have enabled us to get our heads down and work, instead of having to oversee and monitor new forum posts (which held us up no end in the beginning).

Take a sneak peek here:Link: www.footytube.com/openfooty/intro.php

We'll be making an official announcement in the footytube blog shortly.

Hope we can get a beta access soon, i've already submitted my application, can't wait for it!

So, any emails sent out?

COme on guys, let us in! Don't make me have to scrape the bbc website
