Birmingham City: Wade Elliot plans to up his game on Twitter

Sep 11 2011 by Gregg Evans, Sunday Mercury

WADE Elliott has promised to up his Twitter game after receiving hundreds of supportive greetings from Blues fans via his personal account.

The transfer deadline day signing sparked a wave of online activity after his last-gasp move from Burnley 12 days ago.

And the warm welcomes have continued to flood in ever since. Elliott, one of only a handful of Blues players on the social networking site, admits that he rarely posts updates despite using Twitter almost every day.

However, after the overwhelming support he has received, things could be about to change as he looks to impress his followers against Millwall today.

“I’ve been lucky because everyone that’s on there has been great to me,” he said.

“I’ve had a lot of messages of support from fans and it’s nice, it really makes you feel welcome here.

“If I’m honest I’m a bit lax on replying to them though.
