After the post at the start of this week with all the Championship clubs we have here in England (and Wales) it was inevitable that I would do the same for the English Premier League.
Having gone back through the list I did on the site for last season it is apparent that many have changed account names whilst others have been formed. The most recent addition appears to be from West Brom, who launched theirs at the start of this month (has news & goal info but no interaction with fans), whilst Arsenal still lead the way with heading up to a million fans now.
There were two I could not find an official account for; I know Man United have a PR account that started a couple of months ago but this list is more for the general, official club accounts rather than a specific department. The other one is Swansea City who I could find no trace on Google, Twitter or their website.
Again, if you know of one on here that is wrong or there is one in where there is a space, then let me know and I’ll update. I did notice that one of the accounts, Newcastle, appears to be a straight feed from its website and little else (not best use).
TIP: For anyone from a club reading this, if you can make it as easy for people to find your twitter account as possible (on website, leaflets, posters, email signatures, stationary, etc) then you will see that you reach more fans and get more out of it. Some of the clubs I’ve been looking for have been hard to find….if I’m struggling imagine what the chances are of casual fans finding you? Integration within the club activities is key if you want to make it work properly for you!
One other thing to note – aside from the big clubs there was only one other who have an authenticated account….. Norwich!
Anyway, here’s the big list (up-to-date as of 10th Aug)…..

Thanks Andrew. I did consider this account but as its a departmental account rather than an overall club account I didnt add it to the list. For anyone wanting to find out the latest official PR news then its worth a follow.
