Few clubs use Twitter better than Accies - some way ahead of many better supported clubs.

The fans are there if the Board play the game with the supporters and give them something tangible to support.
5000 home fans v Clyde backs this up.

The 5000 home fans against Clyde was on a day when we could win the league but where were they when we opened our Premier league season against Dundee Utd the following season? I'm quite sure we would take 15000 to a Scottish cup final, but we'd be back to our usual level of support the following season.

That Monday night 3-0 game had a cracking home support that night.

You're not saying anything that we don't all already know,Gaspipe,
Did St Midden sell out Love Street the season after they
took 30,000 to see them win the Cup at Hampden in 87?
No,3,000 more like.
Same applies to the mob who won it in 1991.
And when Kilmarnock half filled Ibrox in 97 they're crowds were pish the next season too

In your original post you wanted the club to give the fans something tangible to support. Well they have given four years of top flight football with ultra low season ticket prices and still our crowds haven't gone up. Yes they could have promoted the club much better than they have but, we have always had a small support and no matter what has been tried, it has never been successful and we all know the reason why.

Thistle twitter is excellent and the season ticket renew thing is a really nice idea - thanks for pointing it out, however in terms of quantity and quality of information the Accies twitter is on a par with the other clubs mentioned in your reply and far superior than say the highland clubs. The reporting and regular pictures of the U17s, U20s, Oban, pre season training has been first class in recent months. There is also a noticeable renewed effort to engage and respond to questions where possible in recent months.

10 years behind in social media just isn't the case. Website & retail? That's a different matter.

Actually Accies haven't always had a small support Gaspipe
Albeit it was a long time ago.
Long before the constant "smallest budget " and smallest team and "punching above our weight" tripe.

I suppose it's fair enough not announcing it until we have clearance after the Chamorro incident :oops:

According to the stats I've found, Rojano is 5 foot 8 inches tall, 26 years old, 14 games played since 2015 with 2 goals. Prolific.
