So they've changed the rules from the last match then...not 3 hours as it was before for the duration of the match, but an hour and a half, any time today.  here's hoping there will be better access then today!   ;D ;D

Many Thanks to FindMyPast.

Sooooo much better than last time, - I didn't get timed out at all!

I've still got one left that I would like to do a further search for...& so fingers crossed that this isn't the last football freebie ;D ;D

I'm not complaining!  ;D ;D 90 mins free is still free...and at least this time, the window is bigger, and will help to prevent the site crashing like it did last week!  ::)

Just had my 90 minutes.  Found some good stuff.  Website is working perfectly.  What a difference from last time.  Well done FindMyPast.

I was on there earlier this afternoon and the site was running really well. Not at all like it was on Saturday.

I signed in briefly to find out what the story was, then signed out again...please tell me that won't now exclude me from logging in later for 90 mins?

Afraid it probably will. The wording is "Once you have signed in you will have 90 minutes to search and view our records for free - just choose the best time for you within the 24 hours." Signing in actually triggers your free session.
