The thing with these YouTubers is they bin off going to live football ever again for the sake of having a watch along from their bedrooms. WTF? Surely they can go to the match and then post interviews with fans like Cheesy does or just go to the match like MCFC Lads does. No problem with that - just don’t start filming yourself for 3/4 of the game getting on everybody’s tits and making yourself look a knob.

I know there's a couple of posters on here who do these watchalong streams on YT. And fair play to them; they're earning a few bob watching the team. It sure beats working 9 hours a day in a factory, as I do. What I can't understand is why these streams seem to be so popular. I just don't see the appeal in watching someone else watching City. The reactions afterwards (particularly utd, Spurs, Arsenal and the dippers) after they've lost can be hilarious, mind. But that's after the game. I don't think I've ever tuned in to one of those watchalong streams. Different strokes for different folks, I suppose.

Is one of them that kid that would eat sausages and then burp? Pretty sure I know who he is on here.

It’s a popular excursion for wealthy Yanks, my neighbour’s son likes ‘soccer’ so his dad got tickets for Arsenal v United then Palace v Newcastle the next day. Almost 800 quid on tickets plus flights and hotels.

Got talking to a Canadian on the train after a Spurs match at WHL where we actually won and he had been to a game the day before in London, watched Spurs v us and was then watching a Monday night somewhere else! Tickets cost him around £300 for each game but he just loved watching PL football. Plenty do it but it used to be that tourist would no affiliations to any particular club would get a ticket in the home end. It now seems with City that they are getting hold of tickets in away end!
 
I prefer seeing Thogden (I agree bit dodgy of him in the away end, unless its just someone selling him a ticket) than the stupid "Fan Channel watch along" like Goldbridge and that bald irish liverpool fan...
 
My son was watching one of his videos. A load of self-publicity seeking drivel. Doesn't seem to like City at all either. I wouldn't give him the steam of my own piss.

You are not wrong about the red top reactions after a defeat, they really are hilarious. Of course they know what they are doing in terms of increasing hits but they really do show themselves up and reinforce the self-entitlement aspirations cast at their fanbase. I am convinced there will be a long term consequence because when a very young lad or girl is starting to develop an interest in the game and realise that they have to choose a team to follow; who will they pick? - a club supported by clowns like those fore-mentioned or a club playing brilliant attacking winning football like city?

To be fair isn't Soccer Saturday the original watch along?

Gogglebox is popular as well.

And there is already a youtube culture of watching people do other things, usually gaming although you do get to see the game at least
 
How’s this thread popped up?
Nearly 2yrs ago - let it go lads :-)
I still didn’t get the answer after all this.
Thogdad dipped his toe in and legged it

If the litte tw@t gets a FA Cup final ticket before me, i’ll be having words
 
Sad thing is - I can see why these YT people do it.
There is a guy called Buvey who was on The Kickoff and is now on a thing called The Club.
He shot to ‘fame’ by doing a film yourself clip of Mahrez’ penalty at Anfield 2018.
What surprised me is that I had never seen him at any City away match. You see the same faces and I had never seen him. Have never seen him at any match since then, either (His opinions and lack of knowledge make me wonder if he is an actual City fan).
He has done quite well out of it though.

Look at Mark Goldbridge. Probably the most well known United fan in the world. Despite the fact his is a Forest fan
 
I used to be acquaintances with his Dad Steve, he was a councillor for Trafford Borough Council years ago. Absolute top bloke, never met his lad but as far as these vloggers go he actually does a pretty decent job.

He shouldn't be getting big tickets before proper fans though, but I guess it's no different to tourists getting their hands on tickets before proper fans either

While i appriciate what this lad does, goes around and video’s games for Youtube which is entertaining.

He is a big Bolton Wanderers fan along with his dad, my queston is…. how has he managed to get a ticket in the City end for today’s game when i couldn’t?

He was also in Porto for the Champions league final when a lot of City fans couldn’t get tickets!

I am a season ticket holder with over 15,000 loyalty points and would have loved to have gone to Anfield today….

This is not a pop at him but an honest question…….how?

I’ve not seen any Youtube video’s of him at Wycombe at home or at the Charity shield?

He’s stood there,talking to his phone while City fans are singing and celebrating goals around him.

Again, how has a “You tuber” who supports Bolton Wanderers got a ticket before me for today’s game?

If this is the future, my platinum seasoncard can fuck right off as its a waste of space

A posh kid "Influencer"

He's found a niche and made money from it.

Hate the game not the player.
 
I’m not sure I understand! Nothing new there then when it comes to these YouTuber people but let me explain.
Is he/are they filming the whole match? If so why round where I normally sit do stewards stop people who are doing that? Numerous times they have told people they can’t do that. So how come he can and gets tickets from wherever for matches.

Puzzled of Eccles

It's usually just highlights that they will film and give little updates to the camera, I don't think anyone is allowed to film the entire game YouTuber or not
