I think clubs are run by humans and humans are wooed by likes, affirmations and numbers, that's what underpins social media ultimately. We can't be far away from a dam bursting moment in X though as brands endorsing naked racism, sexism, fascism isn't a good look!

Do you think the clubs could be persuaded to at least post here as well, might encourage people to move? Don’t see how they justify staying and supporting women in sport at the same time though

Thing is - even ignoring the child porn and Nazism - Twitter doesn't provide any value for brands/clubs any more, external links are throttled and most of the engagement isn't real. Literally no excuse to stay.

My league 2 club is on bluesky and has over 1200 followers on here. They do post on semi-regular basis - but does have periods when it stops - mainly cos I think the media team only have the cross posting functionality on one laptop 🤣. Better if we could get other clubs/Sky/BBC posting on here!

i am a primary school teacher and lots of schools - primary and secondary - are leaving in their droves. it was a great way to interact with parents and show what the kids are doing a few years ago but now it's just horrible.
