Twitter score updates

There was some confusion last Saturday, with regard to updates during the match at Harrow Borough...

Apologies for 'sending out the wrong facts' from our official Club Twitter feed. Here we explain why it happened:

By far the best site on the internet for constant updates from games, in association with the Ryman League, is the Football Web Pages site.

On here you can find team line-ups, attendances, scores, and updates during matches.

It is the responsibility of HOME CLUBS to update the information from their games.

And, occasionally, human error creeps in, and a wrong button is pressed, thus incorrect information pops up, on rare occasions. We believe this has only happened twice so far this season, at matches involving Dulwich Hamlet.

The reason they appear on the Official Dulwich Hamlet Twitter feed is because their is an option for Clubs to link Football Web Pages to their official Twitter feeds to automatically post updates onto Club feeds from them.

Unfortunately this does mean that when errors occur they are beyond the control of the Official Twitter feed.

Following some criticism on Twitter of the errors from Harrow, that were beyond our control at Dulwich Hamlet, we have reluctantly decided to discontinue with the automatic re-direct of results from Football Web Pages, to our Official Twitter, due to some comments on Twitter directly aimed at one of our Club officials, despite having had the reason for the error explained to him personally, at the match.

We regret any inconvenience this may cause to any exiled, or housebound fans who look to Twitter to keep an eye on how the Hamlet are doing during games, but we are not prepared to tolerate any abuse of Club officials over something which is not only beyond their control, but is hurtful to officials who spend so much of their own time helping the Club.
