Some of those figures are surprising. 712000 TikTok followers ain’t bad.

Not surprised too much about the overall figure of 2.3m though and I don’t think it’s purely down to our recent stint in the Premier League.

In general we’ve been the city’s higher profile club for a couple of decades which has coincided with the social media age.

We’ve had numerous cup runs and play-off finals. Plenty of controversy and national attention, not all bad, and had some huge talking points for the pundits over the years.

Dodgy relegations involving alleged match fixing, Tevez, perfectly good goals (Villa) not given, treble assault season, Battle of Bramall Lane, Ched Evans, the list goes on and on.

Love us or hate us, we’re an interesting club to keep an eye on, whatever your affiliations.

All well and good to have lots of followers but it’s also worth seeing how much engagement we get.

Leeds have 2.7 million we have 2.3 million if social media was around in the Leeds glory years we'd be nowhere near em,thankfully more people from Yorkshire support their local teams instead of Leeds.

It's entirely down to our recent stint in the Premier League.

In the season we were promoted (2018-19), Wednesday had more social media followers than us.

The prince has 1.1 million followers on Twitter. The club has less than half of that!

1 million of them are 'Saudi Princes' I bet.

We actually had less twitter followers than the pigs in the Championship - we were both below 300K - getting in the PL sent us past them quite quickly and now we are way ahead.

Pigs behind the likes of Hull and Middlesbrough. Massive.

Bet pigs don't get random Nigerians with Man U profile pics and Chelsea banners commenting on every post with - "your team is very bad!"

 

[spongebobblade]

It’s all bollocks anyway. The real question is, Is it Sheffield United or Sheffield Wednesday who’s taken the most fans away to QPR in the last couple of seasons?

Correction I believe correct phrase is: "Finished club!"

I can guarantee a lot of our social media following are paid for bots and inactive accounts

Several thousand appear to be of Arabic descent who's only interaction is to call us a disgrace whenever we put a rainbow on anything

My favourite part about TikTok is how they were so late to it an 8 year old girl took the handle first

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

Not sure with the other 4 sites but twitter we have nearly 200k more than the pigs but get similar amount reactions to tweets aka players leaving, new signings etc.

The level of interaction is to be expected when your only friend is your clubs Twitter account.

Yep, in the last 20 years alone we've been to 3 FA Cup semi finals, 2 League Cup finals, 3 Play Off finals, got knocked out of the Play Offs three times in the semi finals, got promoted to the Premier League 3 times, finished 9th in the Premier League, got relegated all the way down to League One and back up again.

It's certainly not boring supporting the Blades.

2 League Cup finals.
Did I miss something?

I think he's neglected on adding a semi.

As a Blades fan of 50something years old I have found I’m relieved with a semi..

Oh, apologies, you’re on about football.. (exit stage left)

It's not every day that you get criticised for not having a semi!

Ah good to see childish toilet humour lives on.
Except in the Kop bogs
Nothing humorous about them apparently
