I thought it would be useful to keep a closer eye on the opposition this coming season so I've created the following public list on Twitter: @PompeyChicken/championshiptwitter
I expect someone else has already done this but what the heck it was a semi-interesting way of killing a few hours on a Sunday afternoon, in between seasons, no football, waiting for something to happen in the transfer market...
The list follows the official Twitter accounts of the 24 Championship football clubs. This is very much my personal view of the official Twitter world and there's nothing official about this list!
The list of Clubs and Twitter accounts can be found below. I've taken the plunge and followed all of them (including @officialsaints – hope I don't get blocked! LOL!).
I've also added a hashtag that appears to be the main one used by the clubs and their fans.
If I've got any of the official Twitter accounts or hashtags wrong or missed any out I'd be very happy to update the details. Let me know at @PompeyChicken on Twitter.
