Westside CEO Geoffrey Simmonds said, "With the start of the 2014 World Cup, this is a very exciting time for football and so seemed an opportune time to launch our child friendly, football-focussed website, www.ultimateplayer.me. I am delighted with the site we have created; www.ultimateplayer.me provides children with a safe environment in which to engage with the World Cup and football as a whole, in addition to a number of other sports including tennis, rugby, golf and cricket. Importantly, this launch represents Phase 1 only, and we have a number of expansion opportunities in the pipeline which will further cement our transformational leap into the online world. This includes the opportunity to increase our sports coverage further and the launch of an interactive platform, which following its use throughout the existing network of children already utilising the platform through the Elms Sports in Schools, is proven to improve children's enthusiasm and abilities across a range of sports. I look forward to updating shareholders on these exciting developments in due course."

www.ultimateplayer.me provides children with a wide range of applications through which they can engage with sport. The Website is currently focussed primarily on football, and has been developed in conjunction with the commencement of the 2014 World Cup. In this vein a special 'World Cup' platform has been created. This provides users with a breakdown of and opportunity to compare all 32 teams and their players competing in the 2014 World Cup through specially designed 'Team Trumps' and 'Player Trumps' programmes. In addition, users can test their football knowledge in a 'World Cup Quiz'.

Aside from football, statistical information is also available in the 'Stat Zone' for a number of other sports including tennis, rugby, golf and cricket, with the opportunity to extend this coverage further as the website develops. 

There is also a designated news area, which provides users with the latest news for the World Cup and English Premier League.

Importantly all of the information is presented in a clear, easy-to-use format and the content is designed to be suitable for children.
