Yeah it's a bit ridiculous, but it's just how these public polls work.
I've been watching city since 96, so there are some players from the poll that I never saw. I voted for a few of them, but this was based completely off what other people have told me. It must be a lot harder for people who've only been going the last few years, so haven't had decades of people telling them how good Allan Cockram was etc.
The only two picks that I'd take particular exception to are Omar Beckles and RMW. Both good players for us, but really not at the club long enough to be considered city legends. On top of that it's obviously wrong to have Ben Martin ahead of Kevin Mudd or Tom Bender ahead of Peter Risley, but both Ben and Tom have been decent servants to the club, so can't really begrudge their place for those that weren't fans in the 90s.

Well he shouldn't block everyone that has been going more than 5 seasons that disagree with the way the owners are running the club down then shouldn't he or else do a poll for the best XI of the last 5 years

I can't believe players like Gareth Howells, Jimmy Sangare, Patrick Ada and Jon Daly even got a mention what about that guy that would never score in the Ryman Craig Mackail-Smith

Iain Dowie - left us for Hendon in 1986.
Dean Austin did play for us in 1990, so surely should have been one of the right backs nominated !!

I always thought that his brother Bob was a better player- certainly an excellent defender.

Could someone involved with the twitter team and this world cup of goals thing update this post because at the moment it's showing the same goal on both links
Or it might be too late

I hope it was Goal A on both otherwise how did that win if everyone was seeing the other goal twice !

Why include Dean Snedkers saves in the World Cup of Saints Goals? How can you judge a save against a goal? It's like comparing apples and bananas.
Have a separate Save of the Season competition.

Thought I'd ask here rather than start a new thread. Does anyone know why the social media team and specifically the twitter account are so engaging and active on twitter itself but so quiet on here? The video of the supporter's story used on the presentation evening for example - how did that come about? Did the social media team not think to ask on here if anyone wanted to do it or at least contribute? 256 guests, 14 members, 2 staff in the last 24 hours, but nothing from the social media team engaging on here...

We're always happy to facilitate requests where we can, but the forum is very much a separate entity from the social media team (and indeed the club itself), so wouldn't be able to offer any insight into their engagement strategies. As you say, they are more active on Twitter rather than here, so perhaps that's the place to ask the question?

Hi COYS and SaintI appreciate the forum is a separate entity from the social media team, I just thought that as the social media team are so active they might've reached out to one of the main places on the internet where Saints fans get together and discuss their views. I'm not saying I wanted to do a video for the club presentation evening, I'm just surprised the social media team don't seem to bother with the message board as a way of engaging with fans - COYS I get that you don't know their engagement strategies but does it surprise you? Saint? Have the social media team ever contacted either of you about the forum and the fans that use it? Hatboy - no, I haven't been blocked, I don't have an account at all! COYS, that's why I can't really ask the social media team directly. casper - really? Cheers!

COYS, that's why I can't really ask the social media team directly. casper - really? Cheers! No problem ahad43, understood. It's a fair question, perhaps someone could ask on your behalf. Truth be told, I'm less up to speed with how the club's twitter feed is run than others on here appear to be. Personally I don't have a view on where they do or don't engage - they probably have their reasons - and I've never had any contact myself. But as I say we do consider any requests that come in, whether from SBYS, the Trust or other supporters. All I'll say is this forum was founded upon its separation from the club's official communication channels and we do plan to keep it that way. The idea is it's run as a place to allow honest and critical views of all things to do with the club and I think we do pretty well at facilitating that - perhaps as four less-than-positive pages on the running of the club's twitter account can attest to Have a good week all!

Thanks COYS - if the social media team can't be bothered with here then why should anyone here ask them? The fact they haven't made contact or anything re-inforces the idea that the social media team isn't particularly inclusive or welcoming, hence ignoring users, blocking people etc. Do you not think the more they engage the more they can improve? Surely the aim should be to attract as many fans as possible to the club and the better the engagement the easier the task? Although like you say they must have their reasons. One last thing - it might be a case that this thread didn't run to four less-than-positive pages if those running the club's twitter account were more engaging! Hatboy - don't know who you mean. COYS, Saint, any idea?

The third admin, Daedalus, hasn’t been involved in the forum in a number of years at this point.

I'm with COYS and Saint on this. The whole point of the forum is that it's supposed to be independent from the club, so I wouldn't expect any engagement from the club on here.
The social media accounts are updated by a few different people. A couple of them are pretty reasonable individuals, but ultimately these accounts are a voice piece for the club/owners, so the ire should be directed at them and not the volunteers that give up their free time to help out. My understanding is that a lot of the output (including the fan video) is foisted upon them without their input. I think Allinson has been more involved with the social media output this season, since he took on his new role. This may explain why so much of it comes across as faceless corporate rubbish, since he's used to pitching to a different sort of audience.
With regards to people being blocked, apparently Lawrence is quite proactive in demanding that dissent is silenced. One member of the social media team is a bit more trigger happy in carrying out these orders.
