@sportinaus Portsmouth FC recently came out 9th in the annual football fan engagement survey index, they engage with fans through monthly Q and A sessions with the clubs chief executive which is posted online. And they also came 2nd in the best use of technology in football. #UoWChat
@sportinaus Cheers Kieth. Might need to make this a regular thing #uowchat
Had a look at all the championship teams facebook vs twitter vs insta followers #uowchat
Well at least most my class can use GIFs! #UoWChat
@sebbuts @sportinaus @Burgess9898 @ChelseaFC I would echo sebs statement as my answer #uowchat #upthechels
@sportinaus A4: I’m stumped on this one, going to have to use James Milner for playing on the fact that he is boring. Helps to create a quirky atmosphere to keep fans interested to see what he will post next. #UoWchat
@Burgess9898 I tend to agree, George - they should be but often need more training...I refer to the #GrandmaRule - if you wouldn't want your Grandma to read it, don't post it! #UoWChat
@sportinaus A3: Yes, athletes are very busy with their career as well as personal life. It can be very beneficial for somebody to manage their media as they have more time and can make less mistakes which could tarnish their personal brand #UoWchat
@sportinaus A2: fans are very passionate about who they support and with access to instant technology, fans become more involved and feel the need to express their views behind a keyboard where they wouldn’t bother in real life #UowChat
@sportinaus A2: The anonymity of social media allows people to say what they wish with little to no backlash #Uowchat
@sportinaus yes because it allows clubs to inform engage with fans and allows them to keep them up to date with news about the club #UoWChat
A quick thank you to @JBatz85 @UoWSport @UoWSportPsych @RCGreyMattersUK and @GeoffLemonSport for their insights in our #UoWChat earlier. I look forward to doing it again (soon)!
We have to end this first #UoWchat there but look out for more in the future. I’ll post a record of the chat in due course...
@sportinaus I've found @Nigelrefowens a great example of this. He's brilliant at managing conflict on the pitch, and online!

My concern is the 'improved' communication between FANS against an athlete. All to often 'Group Think' occurs, and then people say things online that they wouldn't in person
