Probably the only club in the country not to offer condolences following the plane crash killing 75 people including a Brazilian football team Chapecoense other than a pathetic retweet from the EFL account.

Maybe it was the commercial directors job to update ?

They have been quite busy on twitter all day would only take 2 mins to post something - Keiran Crowley would have been all over it

Yeah, looks like they retweeted one.

Most other clubs haven't either? I think the club twitter is really good at responding to people etc, I don;t see this as something to criticise them for

The majority of clubs have, This has shaken the whole football world and for the club to not pick up on this despite being prompted to is a disgrace. It takes literally seconds to create a tweet and post it just ask Eric Bristow

Walsall haven't, MK Dons haven't, Sheff U have. Rochdale havent. Bury have. Scunthorpe haven't. Haven't checked any others.
Really don't see this is a point to try to have a go at the club with.

I rarely post anything to have a go at the club, I just find this obnoxious

Listen, what's happened is a tragedy and it's great to see 3 of the biggest Brazilian clubs offer players and one of those clubs ask the Brazilian FA to let the club off with relegation over the next 3 seasons in case they find themselves near the bottom whilst building the club.
But...let's not use this as a cheap shot at the club FFS. There might be a reason why they didn't write their own tweet...at least they acknowledged it. And there's more important things in life that complaining about sh*t like this. Seriously...
I know there's such thing as 'football family' but that doesn't autmotically mean that every professional club globally has to tweet something out of respect.
There's too many PC warriors about nowadays...

I pointed that out in my original post. It barely scratches the surface

I know it's a gesture, but I find offering them players the day after theirs have all sadly died is a bit close to the line of "a bit soon".

Yeah, I get that but at least it can help those connected with the club know that there's still something that they might be able to build from. I know they're unlikely to be thinking like that at the moment but it might be a tiny glimmer of light at the long, dark, sh*t tunnel they've just entered. I get your point though.

Boo hoo. It's a shame but the condolences competitions are meaningless.

Spot on. Most of the comments are meaningless platitudes. Social media is full of it.

It's the same as all of the flags in pictures and hashtags.
Might sound harsh, but it's true.
