Toon Saint Posted 22 August, 2013 Share Posted 22 August, 2013 What are people's actual objections to this? Just seems faux outrage for nothing in particular. Could do with getting wifi working in the stadium so people can actually use the hashtag, but nothing wrong with increasing awareness of our social media channels - which are a lot bloody better than almost every club in the premier league.

Stepgar Posted 22 August, 2013 Share Posted 22 August, 2013 What`s a hashtag? its a means to get something trending on twitter you can search for the hash tag example saintsfc and it will bring up every tweet (post) with that in the line. just realised that my keyboard doesn't have the symbol lol.

That's a top shout. 3G does not work in the stadium, well Vodafone doesn't, so if the club could provide WiFi, we could actually look at the Facebook and Twitter feeds before and after games.

hypochondriac Posted 22 August, 2013 Share Posted 22 August, 2013 people got very angry about a design of a football t-shirt Sort of a different scenario. Some people have an emotional attachment to the saints shirt and if they are going to buy it then designing an awful shirt directly affects them. I can't imagine anyone gives a toss about the seats.

Isla Wight Posted 22 August, 2013 Share Posted 22 August, 2013 Not bothered either way really. However, as others have mentioned the club doesn't seem to engage with the fans much. Personally I'd like the club to spend some money on getting a P.A. System that works properly. Ever since SMS opened it has been garbage. West Broms P.A. System on Saturday was crystal clear. #saintsfc - engage with that. Rant over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norwaysaint Posted 22 August, 2013 Share Posted 22 August, 2013 So a few people don't really like it and most people don't really care. Why the comments about panic, moaning and people getting upset? No real sign of any of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orchardsaint Posted 22 August, 2013 Share Posted 22 August, 2013 Hashtags in general encroaching on television etc is pretty rubbish IMO but pretty inevitable that the club would get in on the act. there were probably people moaning about having to play matches in the dark, rainy nights by using them there new fangled floodlight thingys. deal with it. move on. first ones to do something. cortese is making us a world brand. no ones leg has fell off. by the way, i don't use twitter, so don't really understand it, tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Who? Posted 22 August, 2013 Share Posted 22 August, 2013 I like it, just shows we have our fingers on the pulse, up with media sources and when something replaces it, we get rid!

Toon Saint Posted 22 August, 2013 Share Posted 22 August, 2013 f*ck that sh1t That's simply horrific. Jesus Christ. Wind up? It's not April is it? 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. Outrageous! Should have stuck to having our own radio station and top notch catering! What a load of ******, will look dumb when the next fad condemns twitter to the same place as friendsreunited. So a few people don't really like it and most people don't really care.

So, who is moaning? There are also people moaning about those moaning at the moaners. For the sake of everyone's sanity wouldn't it be easier if those originally moaning about the hashtag explained their concerns, rather than deflecting the discussion onto those who have questioned their reasons?
