City on YouTube/podcasts/fan channels

Really like Cheesy’s match day vlog and his podcast is ok when he has an ex player on like Lakey or David White. Unfortunately his regular fan contributors are abysmal and it’s hard to understand what a professional broadcaster thinks the likes of Harland and the others bring to his podcast. I’m sure they are lovely people, but I can’t listen to their inane ramblings so switch off when the expert has said their bit.

Joey and Mulv on Noisy Neighbours are a great double act. They don’t claim to be experts or take themselves too seriously and can be hilarious and on point at same time.

Bluemoon pod has gone downhill for me recently and quite a few of his regulars are pretty boring but fair play to David Mooney for keeping it going for so long.

I understand I sound like a bit of a twat in my criticism, and I know people but a huge amount of time and effort in to their podcasts, but the standards are really high these days and there is lots of competition.

I’d like to listen to another City audio podcast so would welcome any suggestions!

Already said on Cheesy's blog lately it seems like he's interviewing first timers to city all the time, or then the one lad who rambles on thinking he's a pundit.

Cheesy's is still the best out of the ones we have, hopefully the filming inside the ground doesn't affect it.

Big Steve's and Esteemed Kompanys in last few months I felt have gone downhill. Both beginning to sound more like those who go on the Arsenal channels and we should be doing this or doing that.

Yes, I have enjoyed a few episodes on this excellent channel. Particularly enjoyed the Clive Allen one as he’s one of my favourite City players

I don't think so.

It's not in our DNA, I really mean that.

These bizarre guys resonate with a sizeable portion of their fan base, otherwise they'd sink for lack of clicks. They all have fan channels far bigger than ours. Our biggest is mcfc lads, then City Xtra, followed by Esteemed Kompany, but you could add the subscribers to all our fan channels and you'd struggle to make 300,000.

Goldbridge on the United Stand has 1.58 million subscribers, AFTV has 1.51 million.

We simply don't have the global fan base of our leading competitors, that is simply a fact, but one of the desirable off shoots of that is it does make our fan channels more down to earth and less hyperbolic.

Our following on Instagram is second only to United in the Premier League and seems to grow by 100,000 every week so not sure that's true

There's two things at play here. Our global fan base is growing for sure, so the club is driving it and feeding it, hence Studio 1...

And then there''s fan driven social media. There's been an explosion in the number of City fan podacasts, vlogs, bedroom pundits and whatnot, but it's all small potatoes compared to Utd, Arsenal and Liverpool in terms of subscribers and clicks

We are in the position now, where we're big abroad, but relative to our rivals, small at home. It's why the MSM at home treat us like shit but abroad we're treated like gods.

I watch most of them in particular cheesy, city xtra big, Steve and esteemed kompany. One thing I think we miss is a presence like aftv at the stadium. I love cheesy but i feel there needs to be more Mach going fans doing similar to him. I rate mcfc lads too for giving that a go

I'm sure Cheesy has been told by City that he can't do his Vlog/speaking to people type stuff inside the ground. No idea about away matches. He's in there as a fan and he also works for an Indian channel. Poor by City imho.

Immediate reaction videos work best when your team is losing. That when they go viral as you get hot takes from angry fans.

I hope they never take off outside the Etihad. They just paint angry, frustrated fans in a bad light and platform them for ridicule.
 
There's a new one doing the rounds called Typical City, he was a season ticket holder but as give it up to do his channel, he does a podcast each day usually , also a preview of each game , a watchalong , final whistle review and then one with player ratings after each game, I enjoy it maybe not for everyone. Big Steve is great, Cheesy ok, Prime mutton ok, JS44mhd, is very good.
 
Tales of Blue has over 45 Q&A’s with former blues players, staff and celebrity fans.

Fantastic to chat all things City and shirts with former blues midfielder Jeff Whitley this afternoon who called in at MCFC MW Shirts HQ to share his Tales of Blue.
