The rise of theTwitter reds

Approx 3 yrs ago i joined a new social network called twitter .My own take on twitter was that it was for film stars to tell people how rich they were and for soap stars to pretend to be famous.I wasnt aware that this network would become so powerfull in my life especially  to a red who can only get his fix from afar either via the internet...ie Forest world , this is Nottingham (evening post) or clipets of news from the team of sky sports news.
I soon learned within a few weeks of joining twitter that this site was quite good  for talking to friends and family , like @browners23 whom is my daughter and @sbrownley my son .Lyndsey is a twitter elder and has been on longer than me ,she actually learned me how to #ff (follow friday) via the hashtag which i must confess was a good laugh in the early days but as of now you have to really achieve something for me to give out a random #ff  and to be honest its become pointless. Although im not ungratefull if someone mentions me in one.My son stuart and wife gillian  ( @poshscot60 )are not as keen and their followers numbers prove their interactiveness..i digress...Also this twitter gave me access to another family.yes the family of #NFFC
I started to go off following just any old tweeter even if they were famous , My tweeters were now mostly supporters of Nottingham Forest , The chance to not only talk to regular forest goers but to also share in the highs and lows of different match day experiences. ..like my friend from wales who ive never met @sparkyrite who started the now legendry #luckybeers club. as everytime there was a game on Mike would open a #luckybeer when the opposition went in front as to promote a forest comeback...this did not always work and mike was prob in a coma trying to claw back some goals!!!! Then there is @stephenthecamel another loyal red who i actually had the pleasure of meeting at pride park ,he even bought me n lyndsey a beer ...the power of twitter eh.He always entertains as does @elliott_stanley. Another good red who travels home and away and gives some excellent views, where was i .oh aye...yes we all get to share the pre match build up , the match itself and the dissection of the end result, even being allowed to get a comment on radio Nottingham by tweeting @sportschippers and @matchtalk ,so as you can see twitter has become a un missable part of the match day experience . One of the funniest parts of following twitter reds is the frantic panic and rumour that surrounded the club regarding firstly our new owners , After the sad loss of our Nigel Doughty twitter went into overdrive and even before @fawaz_alhasawi had taken his seat it was rumoured he was penniless especially from our sheep friends down the A5-2 .Not all ram fans are bad though @bucktaylor64 is a friendly derby fan whom says it as it is and is usually fair. As everyone has seen this week our owners arnt skint and could hold a formula 1 grand prix with his car collection .Another twitter frenzy was caused by the recent manager appointments , oh the ridicule and fun that was written after mcClaren / cotterill/ SOD... & McCleish were appointed then de - appointed it made twitter a very dark place to trawl .The negativity was terrible..but you just couldnt stop looking through the #nffc timeline for any new gossip  , i will never forget the days leading upto  KING BILLYS return , word had got out that he might return , twitter went ballistic and i was like many others wearing out my finger on the refresh button ...then it happened as i walked through Ikea one day my signal was poo and billy was given the nod .all i wanted to do was see my twitter page but i couldnt , i was missing out on a where was you on this day moment ,, when suddenly whilst buying frozen meatballs a picture of billy signing in fawazs home came through on my timeline...hoorah i shouted ...and the people of warrington looked at me as if i was mad..
And all this was made possible because of the great intractiveness of the red army ...another funny thing ive noticed is the way #nffc & #dcfc followers hate each other sending grevious replies to each other , then all of a sudden a leicester city fan (#lcfc) pipes up and the next min forest and derby fans stand together to denounce these charletons who dare to be wanting to be hated as a enemy ...so like two brothers they send them away with the slogan we only hate each other ...sorry #lcfc but your just not hated enough now run along .
So as you can see the rise of the #nffc tweeter is just getting bigger and bigger , i believe a year ago we were one of the biggest tweeting fans in the country ...ask @HOMESofFOOTBALL he sells pictures of football grounds and has a massive fan following he ran a followers competition and #nffc were by far the winners .
As ive said before ive met a couple of you forest tweeters @neilparny @nickparker will be with me in some dive in burnley in a couple of weeks time as probably will be @jimcollingham.....@geordiedave44  wont as he has sacrificed his ticket for me and i thank him so much. thats the power of the #nffc twitter red army we look after each other..before i go and stop boring you a special mention for @oscarforest1 my twitter nephew and @iredjim a blackpool red
If ive not mentioned you it dosnt mean ive forgot you ...by the way im not really a fish or basil brush .......Boom Boom ...#yesthatsit
