ok, but who exactly are the targets and why would it make more people come or become interested? thats what i'm trying to fathom and surely if people are interested in us they will already be friends or whatever you do with them?

i dont understand twitter so no idea how it works regarding people getting this sudden interest in Huddersfield Giants because of it, sorry if i'm sounding ignorant about it !



Edit : so arent the giants on twitter then ? they're on facebook arent they ?

The target audience is people who aren't currently attending Giants games and also those that are. In general, everybody

I didn't even know we had a Facebook page, and I'm 24..... The twitter feed is ok, it would be good to see them use old footage such as big hits, memorable tries etc.

For example in the first weekly round, they could use a line such as 'on this day in 2013'.... and then a link to a giants YouTube channel with Jerry's try against saints with the sky commentary.

It all creates awareness and shows what we are capable of on the field.

some good points

the players themselves have lots of followers, they could help on twitter spreading the word, which i have seen them do recently actually

crabtree has 29.9k followers.... more than huddersfield Giants themselves



the club needs to be different and use initiative and ideas such as above a good.

big hits from games and great tries could get hundreds of retweets/shares and go viral all creating interest.

sure we had a few different pages on facebook too at one point, bit confusing but think the club have merged them now and made an official one.

hope someone from the club reads these posts!!

There are quite a few Facebook pages for the Giants. In view of various comments on RLFans, would there be anything to be gained by 'merging' them all so that there is one focal point for ALL Giants fans?

I one per cent of those who saw it and that someone they knew was going to a game and decided to give it a go that would be 15 people who might come that would not otherwise.

yes needs doing, think they have merged two that are now the official one though. one looks like it has ceased..doing posts anyway!

the others will be ones fans have done so wont be official

This was brought up at HGSA's meeting with the Directors this week. The result is that the club will welcome volunteers to go to the stadium on a regular basis and use social media in all forms to promote the club. PM me or contact James Brammer direct.

People want something doing, now's your chance!

If the owners of these fans' sites want to meet up o discuss this, I'll be happy to represent HGSA's F/b page.

so the club want us the fans to go into the stadium and do the clubs job for them?



whats the marketing managers job

They want volunteers to go and help set the stadium up on match days....they have a new guy in who is supposedly a whizz at social media and ideas were put to the board which will be passed on so keep an eye open for improvements in this area !!
