Albion and Facebook

The club looked at a variety of options that could enable us to push quick information messages to club members. The mass use of smartphones and mobile information sharing offered us two options. Facebook or Twitter!. We've decided to experiment with Facebook as a medium to connect with club friends. FB also allows us to upload photos and up to the minute information on the go. Take a look at how it's going so far. Check us out on Facebook.f
