Gyleman Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Ok, 3 days since the announcement and I'm still as excited as a dug wi' two....well, you know the rest.Thought it may make sense to have a Social media thread, so we can get to hear direct from the clubs. Post you clubs social media links on here. I'll kick off with my club. Spartans Twitter Feed is https://twitter.com/spartansfc ...very active Website: http://www.spartansfc.com/ ....decent but needs some development - league tables, scores, match details, photos etc. Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/TheSpartansFootballClub could do with a bit of updating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 city are on twitter. there is also a website which is updated occasionally... personally I favour one of the committee going about with a bell and extolling the news to the masses at the bottom of the Mound: "hear ye, hear ye, ye injury crisis abates. Ye Ruraidh Scott has recover'd from ye plague, God be praised.." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aconcagua Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Just go through the HIghland and Lowland websites and see how SHOCKINGLY AMATEUR most of them are ... and likely to remain so. Let`s not start kidding ourselves again ! The biggest disappointment obviously is the failure of almost every club (apart from SPL and a few others) to regularly engage with their fans and communities.

Hardly surprising as they will be done more than likely by someone with no IT background on a voluntary basis. Once again have you nothing constructive to offer. Just looking for bites.

Its only me Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Dalbeattie Star's website. Seems like its kept well up to date. Noticed they have photos up from their first pre season training session. A few big names training, not sure who's all signed though. http://www.dalbeattiestar.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky85 Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Who's the big names? Can't seem to find pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Its only me Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Jack Steele and Darren Martin training. Not sure if they've signed or that though. Dunga also in some of the pics. Arron Muirhead (Partick Thistle) also training but i'm guessing thats just to keep his fitness ticking over. http://www.dalbeattiestar.co.uk/club/219690/PhotoGallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest disappointment obviously is the failure of almost every club (apart from SPL and a few others) to regularly engage with their fans and communities. The SHFL sites tend to replicate the state of the club at the time. Buckie, Huntly, Deveronvale have all had decent sites but problems at each mean they aren't what they were. Keith/Rothes have no support thus have little or no presence. My own effort for Lossiemouth has gone downhill since I've had to start putting in a 150 mile round trip to get to games, meaning I've at least 3-4 hours a week less time to look after it. Efforts have been refocused on Twitter and Pussbook and the main site should be up and running in some form this summer. And has been said, most (like mine) are being run by folk with no knowledge of what they're doing and on a part-time basis. The SHFL club sites are in a better state than the official/semi-official league media sites, which for long spells last season couldn't sort out a table or fixtures.

He's got a colossal gall considering what a mismanaged heap his yolasite is: the internet equivalent of one of those village newsletters that used to be knocked up with an old typewriter & clipart before being mimeographed by the vicar in ever fading coughsyrup brown ink.

Twitter is more apt for the Lazy b*****d generation anyway, follow and you don't even have to make the monumental effort of going to all the hassle of logging onto a website, it's pinged right under your nose AND it's a maximum of 140 characters which means limited comprehension is a positive advantage.. Likewise, Vine and the 6 second video was specifically designed for the minute attention span of the average sports fan, year or two that's the future of SPL highlight shows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Shaker Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I can do the whole thing on Twitter by text which makes match updates a piece of piss, and these are repeated on Pussbook instantly. The official club site doesn't need to include much beyond fixtures, results, reports and photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Shaker Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Apparently someone has registered lowlandleague.net, a similar URL to highlandleague.net, the former SHFL semi-official site which went down the pan in recent years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
