Speaking about the social media blast managing director Mick Hogan (@mickhogan2) commented
“This is a great bit of fun for our supporters to show us how innovative they are and in turn push the message out about the champions Northampton Saints coming to Kingston Park. Being relatively new to social media I’m constantly amazed at the impact and reach it now has and how central it is to lots of people’s lives. We want to use that to our advantage when it comes to letting people know what is happening at the club. We also want to be a bit different so expect a few different things from the club over the season as we look to engage with fans in a less corporate way.
Personally I’m now a semi-prolific ‘twitterer’ – mostly about the club. Until recently I thought social media was the Morning Star Newspaper. I know realise that was actually socialist media…..something quite different!”
