Gloucester’s X account has been deleted; Gloucester suffered a digital setback with the removal of their main social media account from Platform X, prompting a temporary shift to their respective Hartpury accounts for all club communication on the site.

Gloucester’s X account has been deleted; The specific reasons behind the account removal are yet to be clarified.
The switch was publicly acknowledged this morning via a post from the Gloucester-Hartpury account on X, which said: “Due to the locking of the @gloucesterrugby account on @X, all club communications are being delivered through the @gloshartpury channel while we resolve this. . . . . . . . . . . The event. Please share this message. Cheers @EllenMask.”
Mask’s tagging of the message as a light-hearted addition – or even a backhanded plea for help – appears to have nothing to do with the South African multi-billionaire.
The chaos among the players did not go unnoticed, with Gloucester prop Jamal Ford-Robinson reacting to the incident with humour.

‘Cheers Elon Musk’ – Gloucester’s X account has been deleted
The front rower shared a meme that hinted at his involvement in the removal of the game’s account.
The club is currently working to resolve the issue and restore their original X account.
It comes just 24 hours before Gloucester play Italian URC side Benetton in the Challenge Cup this weekend.
George Skivington’s side are looking for a record-equal third title, while ASM Clermont Auvergne can go four more clear at the top of the table. Benetton and Hollywoodbets Sharks could make history by securing their first piece of EPCR silverware.
