With the start to the football season in the Championship this last weekend, what better time to follow your club on one of my favourite platforms…Twitter. This list is up-to-date as of last Thursday and I’ve included some figures as we all love to see how many people are following Twitter accounts!
These are only ‘official’ accounts, some of this has been an educated guess so if you know differently then please let me know and I’ll update. Any that don’t have an account listed have been because I could not find them on Twitter and they do not have a link from their website to an account.
Here goes;

Will be up tomorrow morning Dan, I've just finished writing it
where can we find the Twitter account for The Premiereship clubs?
Hi Keith, thanks for the updates. From reading the biogs and the tweets I dont think it is from the club itself (it says 'official, well sort of'). For the time being will leave off the list.
Look forward to checking your hashtag/acc list and thanks for checking out my site
Thanks Daniel – I like the list of the number of followers as well.
I believe @OfficialITFC is the official Ipswich Town Twitter a/c and @OfficialLUFC is the official a/c for Leeds United.
I also looked at commonly used hashtags as well as Twitter a/c and you can see the list I came up with here: http://bbtandt2.blogspot.com/2011/06/2011-12-cham…
