Carrying on from my last post on sports social media, here’s a chart detailing the social media efforts & support of all clubs (as of October 23rd 2011). I combined the twitter & facebook follower / fan count for all sides, then ranked them…
The Table
As you can see, Shamrock Rovers are three times more popular than any other league of Ireland club. Current champions, currently top of the Premier Divison & mixing it with Spurs in the Europa league, no doubt they’ll continue to pull away from nearest rivals Cork City. Bottom of the pile are Longford Town followed closely by Salthill Devon which reflects their ‘real life’ standing in the League of Ireland 1st Division.
