Spreading the Word

By David Simpson

Club's Social Media in action

The hard work of pre-season completed , the pitches finely cut and freshly marked.

The valuable volunteers making it happen

Ready, the teams led out in front of nearly 9000 supporters the competition began..

Goals started to flow, twitter started to tweet as social media kicked in..Live scores on the league website ..

Clubs have harnessed the Twitter social media,full-colour graphics along with podcasts and video communicating with the 330k Club followers , a big step forward from last season's.

Two Clubs released their Programme Downloads namely Uxbridge and Cinderford ( great flip book )

The League itself communicated with over 170k of followers, watching the goals go in, the red cards and yellow ones.

The six goals at Banbury, the thriller at Kings Langley, Redditch's 3G providing 5 more. Kettering beating Slough away.

Goals flew in in the South East, Dunstable 4 without reply,
Beaconsfield with 4 away from home.New boys Moneyfield coming out on top in a fiesty encounter

In the South West, Salisbury showed intent with 5 away, new club Bristol Manor Farm scoring 5 at North Leigh

As the goals flew in, so did the tweets thick and fast.

A hectic afternoon, but rewarding for many with points on the board.

Think it is fair to say ' literally watch this space ' as the Clubs embrace Social Media creating their own brands and projecting the League in to the football world..

Take a bow
