You can set your facebook page to post on twitter too. So if you update facebook, or add a link, photo, event etc etc it gets announced on twitter. If its just an update and less than 140 charachters it remains just text. Any more and a link is provided

At its basicest, if the guy looking after the facebook just cuts'n'pastes from the website it'll still be 'official'. As long as the club know who's doing it so they can get something up, it shouldn't be a problem. facebook is handy for little bits of news that don't neccesarily involve whole web posts

Have a look at http://facebook.com/stpatsfc and http://twitter.com/stpatsfc

Wonderful stuff, I'll have a look and see if I can set it up.

Nice one, that would be brilliant! I can pass on as well the Twitter details if you like so that if there's anything you reckon should go on it, exiled so a bit out of the loop with goings on.

Yeah sure send me on the details anyway. I'll PM you my email address too so you can keep in contact about it that way if you're not on here too.

If ye want help with anything dont be afraid to give me a shout, sure what else would I have to be at

**sorbothegreek** · 12/08/2011, 11:01 AM

I'll have the log on details to and one way or t'other we'll get it updated even if it's a case of me texting you. You know yourself though, i've read stuff on here before i've had word of it myself so the old Marvin Gaye can still beat you to it..

**Longfordian** · 12/08/2011, 11:05 AM

Yeah no worries, I'll set up the Facebook page later on and will send you on the details of that too. Even if there's no specific news some general guff previewing games etc wouldn't be any harm.

**Acornvilla** · 12/08/2011, 11:34 AM

Good stuff lads, was going to offer to handle the facebook end or anything else but you seem to have it all covered, Interweb wise I have a few bits and pieces that need doing every day so if anyone needs an extra hand gimme a shout

Give me a PM here if you need a hand with that

**sorbothegreek** · 12/08/2011, 12:09 PM

Just one thing, and i don't want to come across sounding like a ***** but no one gets access to anything official unless they verify exactly who they are first.

Thought that would have went without saying in fairness, it would be fairly stupid to give complete randomers you can't trace, info on stuff

**Dodge** · 12/08/2011, 12:18 PM

For the record I was talking about giving a couple of hints/tips/pointers

NO interest in actually getting access to anything...

**sorbothegreek** · 12/08/2011, 12:22 PM

Not aimed at anyone in particular and particularly not Dodge, just people offering to help but i for one don't know who they are. I'm only saying that if they want to help then i need to know who they are. It's not a slight on anyone’s character, please don’t take it as such..

**Acornvilla** · 12/08/2011, 2:09 PM

Makes sense, well like I said below I can offer a hand with anything internet wise if needed and if you wana know who I am PM or something, I know a few of the other lads on here anyway so they can verify I am a real person!

**Longfordian** · 12/08/2011, 5:12 PM

Right folks the official facebook page has now been set up. Pretty basic at the moment but we'll be working on getting stuff up there. In the meantime, like it and share with your friends please! The more people who become aware of its existence the better. All feedback and suggestions for future development welcome obviously!

Well done Longfordian, great work. Massive thank you to everyone helping out here, makes it all a bit easier between us. Website is being set up off-line at the moment, I hope to have a working model over the next month or two and launch it in the close season.

**outspoken** · 12/08/2011, 5:32 PM

Great work lads, great to see everyone pitching in

**outspoken** · 12/08/2011, 5:58 PM

Someone wanted me to ask if the Facebook page was given the go ahead by the club?

**Longfordian** · 12/08/2011, 6:13 PM

Sorbothegreek is in charge of this type of thing for the club and, after due and careful consideration, has given it the go ahead!

**outspoken** · 12/08/2011, 6:15 PM

Oh right, sound job, no its just i had a concerned Town fan messaging me

**Longfordian** · 12/08/2011, 6:20 PM

It's something sorbo and I had discussed doing ages ago but as I'm easily distracted we're only getting round to doing it now, likewise with the Twitter page which Pauro got up and running. There'll be links to the pages from the Town site in due course so people will know they're official club pages.

great stuff everyone. I was goin to ask that q and longfordian has answered that for me.. I wasnt sure who had set up the twitter and was it officially endorsed by the club.
But that has being answered now.

What I would suggest on our website or on twitter or facebook is to organise any interviews with any ex town players or managers that are followers of ltfc. I would think it would greatly enhance the site for everyone and can be reproduced for the match program for publication!
