I just found the comparison interesting and I thought I’d share the findings here. Social Media Visitors More Loyal But Still a Very Small Percentage of Site Traffic.

Despite this, fans are passionately supporting and discussing their teams through a range of social media outlets, in particular Twitter and Facebook.
