Nice one Shane, looking good!

Facebook now up and running. Bath City Football Club. Please go on there and get others to share and like.

I have done. Need a chunk of the 4000 followers to come over.

Why not tweet from the old account (@Bath_City?) to point those 4441 followers to the new account?
It may be a chore but we could always tweet each of those accounts to make them aware of this change

I don't believe anyone at the club has the login for the old account, hence the setting up of the new one. All we can do is spread the word I guess.

I think the potential value of these 4K followers is too great to just rely on spreading the word. I am not intending to belittle anybody's efforts here but there are 136 followers after one week of the new account. Whilst its encouraging that the website points to the new twitter account (and facebook page) - it feels like we are getting joined up here - we should make some efforts to migrate the 4K.

I think there are options:
1) Do we know who has the login for the old account? Have they been approached? How do we stop that happening again with this account?
2) Individually tweet all 4K followers informing them of the new account
3) Apply to have the new account verified

4) Migrate followers like this (may assume we have logon to old account)
