It's not just the First Team that are topping the form guide. The media team are topping the Championship twitter best practice league taking into account engagement with our fans and growth. Nice work!
We were second throughout the lockdown period last year (behind Leeds). For three months. I took more pride in that. There was no football happening. We were bottom of the league. Dead and buried. No idea what was going to happen. Fans were against the club. Folk getting furloughed. People dying. Proud of how we grafted and kept fans entertained online, re-engaged them, enthused people ahead of the return to play. The nine months since has been a piece of **** in comparison. Good spot though @Gally and thank you to our fans who are always backing us from a media and marketing perspective.
I reckon VI might make Whitey and 2 others tweet like chuff for 60 minutes then take them off Twitter and replace them with Beth, Dane and Toby Tyke
If they could bottle what Valerien Ismael does, then they'd make a ******* fortune and Well done to YT and the media team, richly deserved for all the hard work and dedication they put in. Still immensely proud to be associated with Barnsley Football Club
They don't want to go up. Not that I care about Twitter, but the service the club has provided for Barnsley supporters throughout the Covid period has been exemplary. From the pricing of season tickets to, having listened to the view of supporters, reversing the ludicrous decision by the football league that a Tuesday was a weekend. Communication has, at all times, been top notch. Any frustrations (I personally think iFollow is an appalling service) is entirely out of their hands. The only blot on the copy book is the disagreement between the past and current owners. I don't pretend to have a clue about that. All I know is the route both have taken will result in a lot of money going to law firms from both parties and Barnsley FC won't look good whatever the outcome.
I've enjoyed the tweets, kept us engaged whilst we're not at the ground. And I think the players have done well with the social media aspect as well, especially the likes of Chaplin who is so positive and encouraging about the team and his team mates win, draw or the rare loss.
He'll go for £100k a year to sit on his ass in a rust bucket of a stand whilst his GoPro seizes from lack of use as Wendies decide to use a YTS kid for main coverage. Whitey loses his hair in frustration but is set for life whilst pining for the Barnsley glory days.
