Liverpool are top of Premier League | Print |  Email to a friend
Tuesday, 10 November 2009
Liverpool’s Hit Search is being hopeful this morning, releasing research showing that Liverpool FC is top of the league - at least in Twitter terms.

Liverpool are top of Premier League
Top Twits
How happy that will make Rafa Benitez is debatable, but at least Birmingham (16th) won’t be able to blame LFC’s marketing department for a dubious “trip” in the penalty area.

Anyway, the Reds have over 55k followers, more than twice as many followers than Manchester United which is in second place.

Arsenal are also in the top 4, along with Chelsea. Manchester City, however, hasn’t yet made the new money count, its 8,000+ followers leave it in 5th place.

At the other end of the table Bolton and Burnley don’t even have an official Twitter page, neither does Phil Brown’s Hull nor Portsmouth.

Hit Search director Andrew Redfern commented:

"In new marketing mediums it is the early adopting brands that benefit most and its clear that certain football clubs will be pushing for the Premiership Twitter League whilst others will be struggling from Twitter relegation!"

We are one of hundreds of non league clubs using Twitter to great effect. It's especially useful for us as we have interest in our progress from supporters around the world.
