From now on, the fans’ favourite domestic cup competiton will be tweeting away on the social networking site, keeping supporters informed on all aspects of the trophy, including latest news and giveaways.

It will also coincide with the trophy’s new look website, at www.johnstonespainttrohy.com which is ready to offer fans more reasons to log on than ever before.

Twitter has become a worldwide phenomenon and is popular for its service offering short text-based updates for subscribers to each particular site.

Johnstone’s Paint Trophy sponsorship manager Sally Binns said that the facility would be vital in keeping fans abreast of the daily goings-on as the season kicks off. She said: “Our twitter page will be easy for everyone to follow and we are aiming to make it the biggest and best around, with a number of compelling reasons to keep following us.”

Simply visit www.twitter.com/johnstonespaint to view the latest news and updates and subscribe to become a ‘follower’ whereby any new posts will be sent free and easy direct to your inbox.

Tweets will be posted on the site regularly on all manner of subjects and the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy will also be venturing into the world of flickr to show off the latest matchday pictures for everyone to see.

And the trophy is also firmly established on facebook, and is always looking for more friends on www.facebook.com. Sally added: “The new season represents our fourth year of sponsorship, and how the times have changed. Social networking is a massively influential tool in communicating with fans, and we hope that we will develop a massive fan base as the match action approaches.”

Johnstone’s. Bringing colour to the beautiful game.
