#saintsfc on the seats at SMS

[KelvinsRightGlove]

#SaintsFC becomes the first British football club to permanently display our official hashtag in our stadium seating!

 

 

 

The move is our latest social media initiative and is designed to increase engagement both with and between our supporters. #saintsfc

 

 

Cue the hate...

f*ck that sh1t

[Saints foreva]

Wow.

[LGTL]

:lol:

 

Classic

[S-Clarke]

That's simply horrific.

[Nigel=God-Poyet=Sod]

Jesus Christ.

[Sour Mash]

Wind up?

[CB Fry]

Should have been a yin yang or some chinese writing or stuff.

[DuncanRG]

Immediate reaction is far from positive - just me that kind of likes the idea? When everyone talks about clubs not listening to fans...

[Deanovski]

Doesnt really bother me? people are so fecking miserable.

[Olallana]

People get upset by so weird things in these days.....

[KelvinsRightGlove]

Doesnt really bother me? people are so fecking miserable.

 

Kind of my thoughts.

 

Does it really matter? Does it affect anything, really?

 

You won't be able to see it once the people are there anyway.

[hypochondriac]

It's not April is it?

[Sour Mash]

People get upset by so weird things in these days.....

Who has got upset by this?

[Saint]

I think it's kind of stupid. The hashtag is a newfangled fad.

 

I don't hate it though. It's just a bit meh.

[cleaver]

Woo, whatever, no one will see it when we are all sat or stood in our seats when the TV cameras pan round for a crowd shot!

[Pahars_Legend]

Been watching saints for ten years and I have never seen the words on the white seats because people are sat on them. Don't understand the problem.

[eharty9]

If your moaning about this my guess is your a bloke in your 40s who likes to moan because like it or not this doesn't affect anybody in a negative way

[Glasgow_Saint]

#loveit

[LGTL]

I do find it funny how this is all to do with "engaging with fans" yet they fail to tell us simple things like our away allocation.

[Jack]

F*cking stupid idea, it looks gash. But, it'll be covered when the cameras are on it, apart from the odd photo specifically for social media.

[Jack]

I do find it funny how this is all to do with "engaging with fans" yet they fail to tell us simple things like our away allocation.

 

Very much this.

[saintadjg]

seeing how huge twitter has become seems like a good idea.i feel like i'm about the only person who doesn't use it

[studentsaint]

Love it beig placed on the chapel stand so the old blokes are non the wiser, wondering what that hashtag is doing there.

[Batman]

Moan moan moan

I hate everything

[doubleonothing]

Outrageous!

 

Should have stuck to having our own radio station and top notch catering!

[trousers]

Nice one #harmless

[dronskisaint]

Says Saints FC...what's not to like?

[Golden Balls]

Do not underestimate the power of social media. Most big companies will use Twitter and Facebook to reach their customers than an actual website.

[pingwing]

#wont see it when the ground is full so why care

[Saint-Armstrong]

It says Saints FC, that's fine. I just don't understand it. Looks kinda tacky and gimmicky. I guess that's what it is...

[Mikey88]

Personally i have loved the Southampton twitter feed over the last few months, lots o great stuff on there! Very few clubs put in the amount of time and effort that w do into it and i think it's something we should be proud of as a club. If this draws more peoples attention to it then that's great as far as i'm concerned!

[mcbendy]

I am all for publicising the hash tag. I just think this looks cheap and tacky.

[simo]

#SaintsFCawayallocation?

[aintforever]

What a load of ******, will look dumb when the next fad condemns twitter to the same place as friendsreunited.

[grezz]

I'm 40 and positively affected. I have no idea what it all means but i'm dying to kick off a good old game of noughts and crosses in the box thing there

[Toadhall Saint]

Couldn't give a flying one - its what happens on the pitch.

[Spudders]

#cowabunga

[Sparky_Mark]

Outrageous!

 

Should have stuck to having our own radio station and top notch catering!

 

Don't forget making our own kit.....

 

On the subject - no problem, harmless and engages social media for those that use it.

[Saint-Armstrong]

I prefer "#SAINTSFC" to "FLYBE" or "FRIENDS PROVIDENT" in fairness.

 

Should've just left it as Saints. A bit of a.... strange decision, but it's hardly a big deal.

[Lallana's Left Peg]

A gesture designed to raise the profile of the club on one of the platforms it is using to engage with its own fans

 

 

It literally affects none of us however I will agree with the sentiments around better phone reception around the stadium and information around the things that really do impact us like away allocations etc.

[The Kraken]

Not much difference between Saints and #saintsfc. #whatevs.

[DanW]

Don't care! Let them have fun with twitter - I know the twitter feed helps me when I can't watch the games.

[Nolan]

What a load of ******, will look dumb when the next fad condemns twitter to the same place as friendsreunited.

 

Hashtags are also used on Facebook, Tumblr, Pinterest, Google +, Vine, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube and numerous other sites #theyrenotgoingawaysoon

[Delboy Dave]

#hashtag ******

[The Kraken]

What a load of ******, will look dumb when the next fad condemns twitter to the same place as friendsreunited.

Indeed, and it'll be impossible to ever revert to just having SAINTS written there by removing the # and fc white seats and replacing with red.

[ssaints]

It does look like the '#' and 'FC' have been added to the SAINTS that was already there. But when the stadium is full and rocking who cares?!

[Trader]

On a more positive note - at least the nets have retained the stripes.

[Stepgar]

What a load of bed wetting we have on here. Ridiculous! Who cares whats on the seats, you are barely going to see it anyway, calm the **** down. Crikey!

 

Other fans must think we are total knobs for acting this way. The club have just spent over 35 million on new players and all you can do is moan. Why don't you **** off and support the club down the road.
