TSS and Sonic News Update: Sonic Stadium News Group Is Open!

Hi there - expecting The Sonic Stadium or Sonic News here, were you? Wondering where Andrew's and Dreadknux's sites have gone? Well, you're looking at them! Dread and Andrew have become such massive buddies over the past year, that we decided to 'merge' both Sonic News and The Sonic Stadium - together! All the greatness you'd expect from a double team combo such as us two.

The best thing is, none of the original site's content has gone to waste during the making of this precious collaboration. That means, you'll still see Sonic Stadium favourites such as Ask Dr. Dre(ad), The Sonic Fan Club and Sega Sonic Radio, and you'll still get to view the latest News, Information and Artwork - just a few of the things that made Sonic News what it is today. Because of this team up, you're much better off - you don't have to go to two of the best sites online - they're already here, together!

Also, not only does this site dedicate itself to Sonic anymore - oh hell no! We also specialise in the greatest development team ever, Sonic Team, and all of their games such as NiGHTS, Chu Chu Rocket, even Minna De Puyo Puyo! An introduction to this page now - here you will find the Announcements, from Andrew and/or me, whenever something important has to be announced. Below is the Updates list, where each section (from the menu to the left) is commented on what has been updated or added in that relevant section.

For now, you'll find an introduction to each section instead, as we are just starting up the site. Finally, I hope you enjoy what Andrew and I hope to accomplish in the future, as we head forwards. To the future - The Sonic Stadium News Group (SSNG)! Enjoy!

Dread ^_^
