Summarily, the clubs have a lot of work to do with respect to their twitter accounts as well as other medium of reaching out to the fans and public at large. Get your twitter account verified, improve graphics and be consistent and unique. Upgrade your websites as well. Be more than a football club. Be a brand.
That is all from me. Get ready for the 2016/17 NPFL.
