Facebook stunts to increase Saints FB

Post: # 1084284Post saintspremiers »

Footy Show leads the way - they got over 50,000 extra likes in one
Night to get Gazza to do some gay Yo Yo Gabba thingy.

Anyway, maybe before our next home game if we get an extra 10,000 likes for Saints Facebook perhaps we could get Robbie Muir to have a fight with Libba!

Thoughts?

Have you honestly seen the Saints FB page?

Just a whole heap of teenagers (and sadly quite a few adults) who 'tAlk lyk dis' and just rip on Raph.

I've actually stopped it showing up on my feed as the crap that gets posted by our 'supporters' just infuriates me.

As I've said before, such things which are run by the club, should be a members benefit (gets rid of the morons from other clubs, and our own ones too).


They walk amongst us...

Band wagoners i think they are called. Cant call any of them supporters... Considering theres 60K+ "fans" on there and only 39K members its a fair difference. What percentage of members would actually be fans on there? 30% tops?

THere may be young kids on Facebook, but they are the future supporters or "old farts" of the club. The club has to market to everyone and every club has band wagon supporters, annoying as it is.

I thought we had the biggest FB stunt unfold during the off-season?...
and all that achieved was to get a lot of StKilda people very hot under the collar

There is a fair bit of 'band wagon' in your choice of avatar too. What's the point of it? Aren't we better off consigning that whole sorry saga to history asap? There are enough supporters of other clubs trying to keep it going without contributing to it here.

I think it's spelt Arryn Siposs, thunda, and he is a person, and he also plays for the club you say you love. Why don't you just stay positive and make your True Sainters page as good as it can be? I don't see any criticism of you or your page on Saints Footy. Yet you seem hell bent on criticising Saints Footy. It is about the club, mate. Or is it just about you and your unhealthy obsession with another page who doesn't seem to care about anything other than St Kilda? You seem to be embarrassing yourself by continuing your rant about another page.

This whole Saints Footy thing is getting very tiresome from both sides. I really wish people would give it a rest.

I know how its spelt, if you look at the post i quoted you would have noticed that i quoted what was written above me, or cant you be bothered reading the whole concept of the post? They always mention his name as Saints Footys Arryn Siposs and as people were talking about players talked about on FAcebook is was just making sure thye got it right....
And im not embarrassed by any of my posts and if people dont like it and think its a bad look for TS then thats their opinion and im not going to hold it against them. We are tailored to everyones taste at we know that.

Am i not allowed to have an opinion outside of trying to do whats best for a site? :roll:

I'm pretty sure that if there wasn't a history between the SF admin and this forum then that page wouldn't rate a mention over here.

But there is a history and, Que Sera Sera, whatever will be will be :P
