Mid Sussex Royal Clyde1998 I wrote an article for
The Tilehurst End prior to the Cardiff game and went on Monday evening:
https://thetilehurstend.sbnation.com/20 ... continuityIt's a long one, but covers a number of topics which hadn't been in the typical discourse and attempts to give a balanced opinion on why sacking Hunt wouldn't my preference.
I did leave out a few points, as the objective was to get it finished prior to Cardiff. For logistical reasons, it couldn't get on the website until Monday evening.
Thanks - good read.
The demographic thing re Twitter/X is interesting....there's always been this assumption (often from non users) that its largely a kids only area, but the majority of RFC opinion formers on there that I know certainly are not.
Seems last night that Couhig's visit was unscheduled, and his vocabulary has certainly changed since the STAR meeting......reckon Hunt could have been gone if last night and maybe Sat had gone the wrong way.
I think that's a fair point about Twitter - a lot of those making the loudest statements are older, but I think a lot of the viewers of this content are younger and have the most malleable opinions as a result.
There doesn't seem to be too many people actually posting on a regular basis on Twitter either, but there's enough viewers to influence the discourse. Have noticed though, the club's tweets only seem to get 3-5k views on most posts out of a follower count of nearly 370k.
Couhig's unscheduled visit could well be an indication of Hunt's fragility in the job, but could also be some PR to show 'they're listening' or similar.
