“It was like living in a different country,” Ian Rush once said about moving to Italy. If he’d been playing today it might as well have been about spending time on Twitter, such is the stigma players face from some quarters for tweeting.
Yet as I pointed out in my introductory post The Twooties: Twitter Footy Awards, and shown in the infographic below, the clubs themselves are getting in on the act, and now more than ever. Which is why The Twooties aim to recognise football clubs for their endeavours.
The Most Social Club on Twitter in Scotland – Cowdenbeath FC
And what progress are clubs making? Well, it’s a mixed picture which largely reflects the business world as a whole. Various measures and software exist to define what being ‘social’ really means.The Twooties however isn’t hugely complicated though there is a little magic sprinkled throughout.
Yes, there’s a social score to add some validation and technical competency. But distilling it down, the club crowned as the Most Social Club on Twitter in Scotland 2014 achieves what no other can do, and that’s to follow as many people on Twitter as follow them – Cowdenbeath FC.
It’s one of the most precious gifts any club can give their fans this Christmas, to reverse the tables and follow the people who follow the club. No other comes close. Quite frankly, I’m astonished.
