Big freeze can't stop NPL trending!

By David Watters

Saturday's snow and ice couldn't stop the EVO-STIK League's clubs from trending again on Twitter!

And despite seeing their fixtures among those wiped out by the winter weather, a number of clubs were still managing to light up the social media platform's heat maps hours after their games were called off - South Shields, Altrincham and Stalybridge among them and the Radcliffe versus Scarborough postponement flagged up throughout the day from 8am until 7pm!

Corby's 2-1 win over Leek Town and Sheffield's big 4-0 victory at Cleethorpes Town grabbed the most attention among the nine games in the EVO-STIK League's that did go ahead.

After regularly lighting up Twitter's heat maps and soaring on all the major social media platforms since the start of the 2017-18 campaign, the EVO-STIK League is on course to celebrate the end of the of the historic fiftieth anniversary season with millions of new online fans and followers.

According to the latest stats covering October and November from the EVO-STIK League's social media manager James Heyes, the Northern Premier League’s official Twitter account is projected to have clocked up an astonishing 18 million views by next May! Matchdays are continuing to attract more than 100,000 views on Twitter and 10,000 plus on Facebook with peak audiences often far higher of up to 150,000 on both platforms.

@evostikleague also broke through the 17,000 followers mark on Twitter last month and on Monday morning stood at 17,627 and rising with around a hundred new fans adding to the total every week.
