Trending again, even before draw!

Shaw Lane rounded off a weekend of appearances on the social media platform's latest heat maps for EVO-STIK League clubs on Sunday as their fans took to Twitter to celebrate their 2-1 win over National League Barrow in the fourth and final qualifying round.

The five-game winning run of Corby Town in EVO-STIK League South under caretaker-manager Steve Kinniburgh also made the regional heat maps on Saturday afternoon as the Steelmen hailed their side's impressive revival on Twitter.

The EVO-STIK League's clubs have been regularly trending on Twitter and soaring on all the major social media platforms since the start of the 2017-18 season. In the last week, @evostikleague has also broken through the 17,000 followers mark on Twitter to stand at 17,115.

According to the latest stats released last week by social media manager James Heyes, the league's Facebook pages recorded nearly a quarter of a million views in September while the new Instagram account attracted more than 500 followers in its first month of operation.

Impressively, no matchday so far this season has failed to attract less than 100,000 views on Twitter and 10,000 or more on Facebook, peak audiences often far out-stripping those figures.

The EVO-STIK League's new Vole account also continued to outstrip the Premier League's big guns on the new 'Instagram of football' platform from Europe having grown to more than 2,000 followers within weeks of being set up despite being initially targeted at fans of the pro game.

The popularity of the EVO-STIK NPL Show's podcasts have played their part too, boosting an increasing online presence after returning for the 2017-18 campaign to build on their best ever listening figures last term.
