Which Premier League club is the most talked about on Facebook?
With the brand new introduction of the ‘whos talking about this’ function on all Facebook Pages as from last night, I thought that I’d put together a Premier League table (before anyone else does!).
It is interesting without delivering many shocks. The bigger clubs with large followings get the most engagement…nothing new there. The gaps between some of the clubs, or lack of them in some cases, is more eye opening and you can see that Norwich City do a great job with a small fan base.
The hope from Facebook is that this will encourage those who administer the pages to deliver content which is more sharable and have comment comment, like, etc rather than just spam with poorly thought out posts.
To benchmark Man Utd‘s feat, their main rivals in size on Facebook are Barcelona who’s engagement score is 561,727 and Real Madrid with 815,437 (by far the best score).
Here is the league as it stands today (stats correct as of Friday 7th Oct 2011). Love to hear your thoughts…
