Has anyone else been unfollowed by the official AV Twitter page or just me?

Loads have apparently. Shows what they think of their paying customers.
-
They unfollowed me and tbf I can't blame them, considering my recent tweets to them. I say recent I mean the last three years worth.
How the fuck do you unfollow 47,000 fans in a few hours, that takes some clicking.

Heroes and Villains survived the cull...

It's why Tom Fox is too busy to check his emails
-
Seems a logical thing to do, would have thought following players, ex players etc will mean they will see relevant things to re-tweet to all the people who follow them...something that is optional to anyone with Twitter.
Sure some of our more thin skinned fans will wail that it's a symptom of the crap management of our club blah blah blah....

I'm chuckling at the vision of a young work experience person sat there clicking manically 'unfollow' :-)

They didn't unfollow me.
They never followed me back in the first place.

Agree to an extent as every poor thing that AVFC seem to do is tarred with that brush (possibly legitimately in a lot of cases) but I did go into the club shop to get my 5 year old daughter and 1 year old son some Villa guff for Xmas, in my small attempt to try and push my kids into supporting a Championship club, and the level of service was deplorable. The way we were spoke to and looked at by the young lady behind the counter was akin to something I would expect in 99p Stores. It did make me naturally think, "how far have we sunk, synonymous of the club etc etc etc......."
Small things add up and all that.

And as for the original post I actually think it is a very wise idea and indicates we may have a new head of communications/media in place which can only be a good thing.

The club can do no right, I tell ya..

I don't really care that they've done it but I'm not sure how having a Head of Communications/Media who orders the unfollowing of 47000 people with no explanation can be a good thing?
-
Lets be honest, them unfollowing people on Twitter is the least of our worries this season.
-
I'm absolutely gutted, not only have I not been unfollowed the bastards didn't follow me in the first place.
-
I only started following them on Sunday. Today all they've tweeted today is pictures of Ian Taylor visiting random fans, along with weirdly inaccurate captions. 'Bill Winnit was thrilled and excited to get a visit from Ian Taylor!'
-

Same here. However, my only Tweets to them were moaning about the radio mic antenna set up behind the dugout
-
Aston Villa - how to win friends and influence people...

I noticed one of Taylor's "victims" was wearing an Under Armour t shirt. One for the conspiracy theorists...

Get ready for its reinvention as a hard-selling marketing tool. No humorous trolling of other clubs' official accounts. Just lots of spam.
-
They've unfollowed me on twitter. Although, to be fair, I'm considering unfollowing them in real life (after 40 years).
-
I can't remember if they followed me or not, so I'm not too fussed.
-
I only follow them because they post the score with every tweet during a match. I got a little tired of wading through eight suicidal pages of the H&V match thread just to find out how many goals we'd let in. Especially since nobody on the match thread ever does anything as vulgar and obvious as announce the score.

It's Twitter. They will see more relevant stuff if they only follow relevant tweeters. There is no point in following fan Joe Bloggs, it just clogs up the Twitter feed.
-
The last tweet I tagged them in was asking if Paddy Reilly used the same site for finding players on his computer as Leicester & Watford,that must have been the tipping point

As an example you wouldn't necessarily see what The Mail or H and V was saying about you if you were following 47,000+ people as your news feed would be taken up with the guff that those people were posting but if you limit your feed you could scroll down and easily see it.

I have never done a tweet.

I reckon verified accounts will have the option to unfollow everyone with one click, then you just follow who you want after that.

I was talking to someone who works for on the media side at the club earlier this week, without betraying any confidence and I'd already guessed, they were at pains to point out how difficult it has been keeping up the positivity week in week out but it remained part of the job.I find it as frustrating as anyone (and enjoy the withering responses on Twitter and Facebook from the fans), but if the club can't keep up some sort of brave face who can? Particularly with the wave of negativity from the local radio and press.
I wasn't given any heads up regarding the Great Twitter Cull though.
-
I notice that they still follow H&V.
-
They've promised to follow everyone again when we win another league game - don't hold your breathe folks...
-
I don't see the problem to be honest, I bet they've unfollowed all the people they had on mute or do people really believe they read every tweet from the 47,000 people they follow that ever appeared on their feed? I don't see any other club following tens of thousands from the quick look I had.
-
I'd unfollow you lot too
-
A quick trawl through a few official sites of PL clubs shows me that very few of them follow many people, with the exception of Liverpool for some reason.
It makes sense, they are an official outlet for club news and propaganda, they don't need to have a feed full of crap from fans and I doubt they ever read any of it anyway.
-

Haha. Was comment four too obvious?
-
I haven't been unfollowed due to them not following me in the first place. To be honest why do people care if they have been unfollowed on twitter.
In my opinion if you are really that upset by a football club unfollowing you then you really need to re-asses your life as there are far more important things to worry about.
-

Ah, sorry. Very good.

They were probably fed up of people putting full stops in front of their name as in
.@AVFCOfficial Sort it out you useless ******! etc.
