Will not be surprised if as time goes on, much like Hull, that "Saints" will be pushed forward ahead of Southampton in the club's marketing and correspondance.

I dunno, they've done stuff like change the official twitter handle from @officialsaints to @SouthamptonFC. I thought that was to go for a more professional image, but this hashtag toss doesn't exactly follow suit. Who knows.

 

[Beef]

It's only a hashtag on a bunch of seats. It's not like it's a big ****ing sign plastered on the side of the stadium. Won't effect me on match days so I don't really give a ****.

Saints fans will honestly complain about anything. It makes no difference; however it will get people talking and keep saints even more in the media eye.
It's clearly just a big publicity stunt. As someone said, it's better than having a sponsor like most clubs.

Looking forward to what CBK has to say about this.

I think it looks GREAT!!!





.... if you are one of the saps in our media department. Those new white seats are not plastic, the media team have for the past week been ****ing furiously over them.

Good job my seat is the other side of the pitch then...

I have never, ever seen such a fuss about something so utterly unimportant (well, since I last went to the Southampton Facebook page that is.....)

 

[Downthe36]

The fact that this has caused the biggest meltdown of the new season makes me very happy. Not much has yet gone wrong!

I met the guy who actually writes the twitter for southampton in a club in london randomly. His name was jim or something

Did you get his autograph?

#SaintsFC is the official Saints 'tag' on twitter, basically means you can type in #SaintsFC and see all the tweets which have the hashtag #SaintsFC in them, supposedly a way to connect fans and create discussion but really just a wretched hive of scum and villainy.

Ah I see, thank you. I have little or no knowledge of twitter, other than it seems to be an outlet for low brow self indulgent celebrities/famous people.

It is unimportant, but the club seem to think its massively important. "Big news coming!" "FIRST club in the uk to do this" blah blah.

So who is insulting who's intelligence?

Whose*

Sorry.

 

[Pelletron]

I don't get how it's going to increase the social media, when 9/10 when seen, it'll be covered? Makes it even more pointless

Then why have any words written on seats?
This is possibly the biggets storm in a teacup I've ever seen on this site - it's a hashtag, so what? When all teams have it, we'll be pioneers.

 

[pass the football]

Sorry.

And I tried so hard not to say that as well!

Because things like Southampton FC aren't promoting something, like this hashtag is supposedley going to do.

Marketing departments exist to promote the club as loudly as possible. There's no doubt to an extent it's working, as in terms of media profile we're making progress. The big name/big character signings like Osvaldo of course work, but it's all part of the bigger machine that's trying to turn us into (and I hate the expression) a 'big club'.

Getting annoyed about this is tantamount to getting one's knickers in a twist about a stranger wearing odd socks.

Promoting a place where Saints fans can go to discuss and share views on Saints for free, and get their own views seen more widely, subsequently helping the club gain more online visibility. It's hardly a stadium rebranding. Arguably, the word Saints already promotes the club, as would the term Southampton FC.
