You can check a contemporary take on solarflare, (I know it is not a club template, but it is probably their most famous template), at:

Might I make one suggestion, make the background slightly wider, on wider resolution screens, its starts to repeat. Alternatively, which may be easier, set the background to no repeat with a #26343D so when the resolution is a bit wider than the image, it just repeats the colour and keeps the creativity alive
The fonts were the clients pick, he likes the Times New Roman in the body- (who knows...)
I am a little weak with html, how do you do the no repaet with the color? I wanted a wider image, but the client has a small browser and he didn't like it, but you are right about the repeating.
Thanks for the comments. I made those changes and things look much better. Do the broken image links matter? I never understood why that stuff is important if it looks and works fine- but I am sure there is some reason. I will try fixing the ones I find in the template.
Thanks for all of the advice. I didn't realize how easy it was to fix these things. I just added a color strip on the side of my image, I thought I would have to resize the image.
