[Archived] Social Media

[FGS5635]

Although its the way of the world these days you see a lot of sports stars shy away from it. But it seems rovers and our current crop of players have really embraced it this season.

The interaction from the players and the club has been a big bright spot this season and has helped improve the mood in my opinion.

I think the social media team at the club have done a great job this season, there has been a real improvement in interaction with fans and also in the way match updates have been given. There has been a great deal more honesty during match updates, which I prefer. The perfect antidote to last season.

Followed by a load of transfer requests after an hour on here

Poor Nyambe would end up locked in a padded cell muttering "who's my agent?" over and over again.

Totally agree.

As a newbie in the world of Twitter, I’ve been impressed with the rovers twitter page.

They interact with fans and get them to send pictures and videos when they’ve been at games.

Should be the way it’s done in this day and age.

Absolutely,  Mowbray makes a concerted effort to keep fans on side through thanking them for support, the improved social media presence has brought many fans closer to the team/club and you can definitely feel a change in mood. I've really liked that when we've been playing poorly the match updates have reflected that. It was so galling last season to be at a game and see the club twitter constantly saying how we'd been unlucky or conceded against the run of play, when in fact the very opposite was true. There was such a disconnect last season, there must have been some staff changes as the two approaches to social media are worlds apart.

It will be a great summer to be a Rovers fan, if we go up. There , I said it

Believe me it has improved ten fold recently whoever did it before must've chewed wasps instead of gum !

Probably someone who's job it wasn't and was multi tasking to be fair though.

Mowbray will have had a good learning curve for it at Coventry and some extent Boro but the thing that strikes me is the players now at this level are far more down to earth and humble they seem happy to interact with fans rather than look like they are forced to. Probably because most haven't been ruined yet by money and are from more humble football beginnings.

Don't be cocky. You can't always rely on summer.

[blueboy3333]

Things like this are always good to see. One thing Mowbray has to take massive credit for is the connection between fans and players and obvious team spirit.

Sarcasm doesn't translate well on the internet. My tongue was firmly wedged in my cheek.

While the social media side of things is a country mile better than what it was, I’m disappointed the club is no longer using the big screen at Ewood. It’s become a massive advertising board for 90 minutes. 

[Lancaster Rover]

Is it due to the quality of match recordings or copywright at all? I imagine there is only 1 maybe 2 cameras there on a match day now so the quality might be pretty poor

[riverkiller]

Social media is clearly a wonderful thing that helps bind individuals together in a warm, sweet and non offensive online nebula. I can only congratulate Blackburn Rovers for embracing this platform, and hope that this exciting development can continue into the future.

Is that better ?

[den9112]

What i liked at the end of Tuesday's match was the way DG stepped back and encouraged AA to move forward to the fans.

Rovers Twitter full of people saying how they made their kids day with the Roverstore players meet and greet.

Wheeled out the big guns as well, King of Ewood, Dack and Super skipper Mulgrew.

Whatever the answer, it could do with being raised at the next supporters’ meeting.

Yesterday event was excellent and very well attend.

Event started early than 2pm due to some many fans being quene up. And players still there after 4pm signing autographs and having pics with fans. Believe the event ended after half 4. So its very good of the 3 players to stay beyond 3pm cos then when it was supposedly to be finish..

[Vinjay]

Why even bother having the screen if its just gonna be a glorified advertising board? I don't think they are essential to matchdays anyway what's wrong with (good) music before the games?

Better attended than expected? If so good thing Ken Beamish wasn't there.

Cos ppl want to watch the dinner time kick off game  

I dont mind a few music songs but not a couple of hours of it. 

But my question is why do you care when you support Man City?

[Vinjay]

I was referring to the screen inside the stadium. There's not many inside until the last 15 minutes before kickoff anyway. 

I don't think its every game but why have a big screen outside the Darwen End? Who cares if a bit more beer is sold might as well just roll out the red carpet. Its the same as my remarks about giving too much acknowledgement to the opposition.

[Mattyblue]

With ifollow now in place, I assume we don't have the big screen in use from this season as we don't have an in-house production team anymore.
