SFC Facebook page relaunched - bit of a cockup

[stevegrant]

The original article's already been pulled from the OS, but the club relaunched their Facebook page this afternoon, with promises of exclusive content, competitions, etc, the usual sort of thing.

 

The article claimed you could "Like" the page by going to http://www.facebook.com/OfficialSaints - with the URL mirroring the club's Twitter feed - but if you actually go to that URL, it appears as though someone called Richard Watts has already taken that URL for his own personal profile

Or.... maybe, maybe, it's an employee or contractor safeguarding the name?

 

Irrespective though - LOLZ.

But if you do find the correct Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/OfficialSaints/220396037973624

 

... and like it, you get to enter this wonderful competition:

Whoopsie, as far as I know, FB URLs can't be edited or transferred. And Calvin Davis? Is it Work Experience Week down there?

Probably something dictated over the phone and interpreted incorrectly by whoever typed it out... still bloody funny though.

Correct.

[EBS1980]

Calvin Davis??

[Minty]

Indeed.

 

If anyone from the club is reading this (and my posts on Twitter) then I'm sorry, but in the absence of anything else remotely interesting going on today, I found it funny and needed to be shared!

[paris]

I had to connect to it through you thanks ....

[Crab Lungs]

"Ricky/Rickie" too...

[Trader]

Corrected it now - quite disappointed really.

[Saint_clark]

The invite capability is busted.

Is there a saints web fb page?

Has this page been done by a skate? The slogan is;

 

Together We Are The Saints.

Interesting that the new marketing manager used to work for the blue few...

I almost hope it is a wind-up, looks absolutely dire. Had a quick look on it, but didn't "like" it as it just looks so utterly s**t.

And the 'Get Behind The Saints' with a picture of their ....behinds, is it me but does it not give rise to some easily mistaken connotations?

 

There is definitely something going on down SMS. This 'marketing manager' is a plant IMO

 

And I'm sorry, I know the crowd has both hands in the air but on first glance it looks like a Nazi salute.

another thing

[farawaysaint]

Erm what are you all talking about? It all looks fine to me?

[gaz]

Its fixed now.

[simo]

They don't do criticism or questions regarding their **** ups either just keep deleting my comments !

[Hatch]

so is it 'official' or not, or is it just some kid set up one of them group thingys.

[farawaysaint]

Credit where it's due, the skate that managed that at least has a sense of humor Of course considering the joke of a club he follows that's a given. Liven up though guys, I think the sabotage was pretty funny and it was fixed sharpish as well.

I wrote on the wall *giggles immensely*

That's what happened when they tried setting up a similar page a year or so ago, it was closed within a day or two because people decided it was an easy way for them to voice complaints about something - probably the removal of the instalment plan - as they couldn't get a response from the club itself.
