TODAY - Social Media Night with Weir & Winter

[Linz]

I'd completely forgotten about this until chatting with Kev Cookson last night, so apologies for not advertising it before.

This is the chance for everyone who complains about "shit questions" at events to actually get involved* and ask the questions they want answering themselves.

From the O/S:

David Weir and Julian Winter are asking for questions for [sic] Blades fans who use our social media platforms.

As part of United's attempts to continually communicate with supporters, the manager and chief executive will be available to answer questions submitted through United's official Twitter and Facebook accounts on Tuesday (20th August).

The duo will answer live queries from supporters on Twitter from 4pm and then switch to Facebook at 5pm for another hour's worth of questioning.

Tuesday 20th August, 4pm-5pm - send in your question at the relevant time on @SUFC_tweets, using the hashtag #utb

Tuesday 20th August, 5pm-6pm - post your questions at the relevant time on our wall at www.facebook.com/sheffieldunited

Your questions could involve team affairs with Weir or on the behind the scenes operations with Winter – both will be open and get through as many questions as the time allows.

Winter comments: "We are delivering the two live social media events to open up greater dialogue with fans via Twitter and Facebook, whilst other events as we continue to communicate supporters will be publicised as they are confirmed."

* Although the club appear to be relying on the peoples' internet usage policy at work allowing Facebook and Twitter, otherwise this is an event for shift workers, the jobless and school kids

Cheers for that....not sure the timings fit in with our work firewall and travelling home, but i'll try my best!

This should bring out the keyboard warriors !

What's the largest animal you could throw over a crossbar? #utb

 

[S6Blade]

Following on from last nights "what time do you get into work" question, how many sugars do you take in your tea? #utb

I reckon I could manage a Labrador. Am I allowed to swing it by its tail?

It should be amusing, as contrary to what we advised last night, it appears the profanity filter still hasn't been activated on the official Facebook page...

 

[Bladesway]

Get Brownies Bash Hands (TM) out and it should be an afternoon of brilliance.

I'd pay good money to see Dave Plant ask Weir that question to his face ;-)

Yes, I do rather wonder if some people on Facebook realise that the person they are speaking to has access to the supporter database with all their details on, including seat number... that is if they actually go to the matches. I'm sure the Club have better things to do, but it would be very easy to send someone over to address their concerns in person.

But then this cross-over of real-life and social networking doesn't appear to occur to certain individuals.

Looks as though it's now been cleaned up!

I think we've found the answer to half-time entertainment, the big screen and a role for Morgan in one foul swoop. Zoom in on the troll, tell them they've been picked out in the online draw, film them running down to the front of the South Stand and have Morgan greet them with "I believe you had a question you wanted to ask the Manager?". Failing that he could just kick the shit out of them in the technical area whilst the Blades Revival draw was made.

Yeah, we spoilt your fun by pointing out how to get the filters working. Sorry chaps

Funnily enough, I did think of mentioning the fact that Morgs won't have too much to do until the match kicks off and he takes his place in the Directors Box...

DW:- "We had the video analyst up there, which give me video from on high and on Saturday there was Chris Morgan who wanted to watch us and Nick Cox".

Can you remember in detail what Weir actually said about Morgs?
The transcript above suggests that he was only watching the match from the Director's box because he asked to.
While I think the twitter feed suggested, that he was there as part of Weir's backroom team.
Did you get any sense from DW of how heavily involved Morgs is nowadays?

I was manning the Twitter... DW said he had two people up in the stands watching, one was Cox, the other Morgs. So to my ear, Morgs was there on behalf of DW.

If I were on the SUFC end of this I'd ban the "Dave Sufc Plant" (assuming he's in the system).

Indeed, or at least writing a letter FAO his Mum to tell her what a foul-mouthed chap she's raised.

You are intent on spoiling everyones fun. Let Dave Plank on, he's a very funny guy who should be invited down to the Lane to meet the management team in person. A video of him shitting himself in front of Carsley will be hilarious on all Facebook walls.

Oiiiii Not a brown labrador I hope?

Surely Curtis Woodhouse is ideal for this job? If he can track some troll down while he is 60 miles away and knock on his door this job would be a piece of cake to him

It'd be like a cross between Bang Goes The Theory and Animal Hospital.

 

[Highbury_Blade]

Will Liz Bonnin be there?

Think I've been outside of the UK too long as I have no idea what Bang goes the Theory is:-(

Science show on the beeb.

All you really need to know is that this lovely lady presents it

Will Liz Bonnin be there?

In my mind, undoubtedly.

A touch of the Reverse-Beadles there.

 

[Railway Blade]

Can't see how this is going to work between the one or two reasonable questions they are getting bombarded with complete nonsense.

 

[Selly]

I haven`t seen a single answer yet either from @SUFC_tweets
