Social media following

[mancunianblade]

ok I know what some of the replies to this will be. But the latest signings from top clubs come with a ridiculous amount of followers some will say who cares but to put in perspective on instagram

Ben Woodburn has 465k followers
To put that in perspective Sheff Utd have 25k.
Dean Henderson 134k
Jean Bryan 38.5k

As an example from our own squad
Ryan leonard 3.8k
Jake Eastwood 1.6k
Lee Evans 3.6k

I know to most this will mean nothing but it’s certainly raising the profile of the club. Woodburn alone will be responsible for “selling shirts abroad” blows
My mind how a player who played a handful of game can have such a devout following, one that is 14x bigger than the club he joins..

His post about joining the blades got 3x as many likes as we have followers..

Love getting mugged off by an autocorrect.

As a club we seem to have a low number or social media followers. Although being in the Premier League makes a huge difference. As an example, tomorrow's opponents Swansea City have 230,000 followers on Instagram.

We need PaddysMad involved.

The day he broke the internet will live forever with me. I will paraphrase but it was something like.

"David Brooks sending Sheffield Wednesday into Sheffield Thursday"

Accompanied with the Jack Hunt Nutmeg.

Brilliant. PaddysMad cheers me up.

All the stupid Kardashian bitches have tens of millions of sheep, sorry 'followers', but I want nothing to do with them.

Don't forget we are the Millwaaall of the North - No one likes us, WE DON'T CARE.

They wanna try doing mock alternative commentaries for their highlights reels...lapped up by the masses them.

Simple answer, many Indians.

If we were promoted to the premier league that would increase 10-fold.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Still only 3 points a win.

A decent shirt sells itself.. having been to the club shop today I doubt the love child of all the super models in the world will shift that effort. The laydeeez team has a different sponsor but it’s in blue and I couldn’t see extra fat bastardised size so even that was out for our lasses anniversary present

Wake up united and the training kit iron on badge is a affront to us all.....

They’re all 12 year old Japanese girls. When Becks went to Real he paid his fee in shirts in about 2 weeks from Japan alone!

Apparently we sold 12 Higgopotamus shirts to Sumo wrestlers - they were Higgo’s match shirts and a perfect fit.

Has Paddy’s moved to California? Heard he’d bought a condo in Reno?

That's nothing the Prince has 1.1 million Twitter followers. Seems totally legit right?

I popped in yesterday as well. £33 for a pair of swimming shorts that have a transfer badge on them. Daylight robbery.

I'd love to know if sales are at their lowest for several seasons

Isn’t it a badge of honour that do few of our followers use Twatter?

This post alone shows more commercial awareness and business savvy than our entire commercial dept has demonstrated in many a year.

Maybe send them your cv?

I'd have more confidence in you sorting out our game day offering than the shower of shite that's currently making a dogs breakfast of it....

We're from Sheffield, we like things made of steel, using proper tools, going to games, not playing about with computers!

Great post and extremely insightful. It would seem we have a great opportunity to significantly develop the profile of the club beyond its traditional fan base.

Everything in context though: we could be taking our club off the airwaves and charging £99 for a replica shirt.

Unfortunately but it’s here and it’s not going anywhere and When used properly it’s the greatest marketing tool available to us

James wilson had a ridiculous amount of followers last season, had no impact whatsoever. Just like james Wilson's performances
