New Home Page

I have decided to revamp the look of my home page. I feel my current home page http://littlewigan.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk has far too much text for a front page, so i am creating this new home page http://littlewigan.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/newhomepage.htm which will replace the current one once i am happy with it.

I am having a bit of a problem with at the moment. In IE, the page works fine and sits in the centre of the screen. However, in FF the page aligns to the left but the four tables in the middle of the body stay in the centre. Ideally i would prefer the whole page to align to the centre as it dopes in IE. Any suggestions?

Also, i am concerned the new design with less text will work against me with the search engines. Is this right?

Thanks.
