Where Facebook is useful
Social platforms make it easy to share timely posts and interact with an existing audience. They can be effective promotion channels when volunteers understand moderation, account access and the limits of feed-based discovery.
What the website provides
A website gives permanent URLs for registration, fixtures, sponsors, history and contacts. The club controls the structure and can make information available to people who do not use a particular social network.
Use both without duplicating the source
Publish complete official details on the website, then share concise social posts that lead people back to that page. This keeps corrections manageable and reduces conflicting versions.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Can a Facebook page replace a club website?
It can communicate socially, but it provides less control over structure, discovery and durable information.
Should all website articles be posted in full?
Use an engaging summary and link to the complete club-controlled article.
Who should own social access?
Use documented organisational administration and review access whenever volunteer roles change.
