As a city fan who has lived abroad for a long time, I have watched MattSB and Alex Craig for a long time and have always really enjoyed them especially in the lower leagues when there wasn't as much coverage as there is now. Joner also has his moments and clearly enjoys following us. It's not always easy to get back and they can make you feel like you are there too. Plus, we always seem to lose when I manage to go so my family banned me from going again after the Oxford match until we are promoted. I guess it's safe to go again now.

he is actually a Cov fan, he known the family for years

he just made some united tik toks to try and build up a follower base as city tik toks aren't that popular and his Dad is a united fan.

shite decision but he's always supported Cov
Going to united games and doing watch alongs (probably whilst cov were playing) as recently as 2024 isn’t something I’d do as a cov fan personally.

I have no issue with people supporting other teams and then latching onto Cov now the times are good. I understand why it's frowned upon, but not an issue personally.

I don't like Lee and Sunny because they are a pair of fucking dickheads.

I'm really not a fan of influencer culture at all, but we all need to wise up to the modern game, and how much of a role these people play in driving awareness and thus the commercial value of and opportunity for the club.

The ones we have right now might be a bit small fry, but high chance they will grow in the Prem, and even attract a whole new breed too.

You only need to look at how much Mark Goldbridge sold his company for to get a sense of the value placed on audience building like this.

Don't think you need to like it, but you do need to tolerate it.

I think you need to distinguish between influencers and vloggers in the OP. I have no issue with some of the vloggers (Alex Craig and Matt & Sophie are my "go-tos"), but the tossers like Harry Kilner, Thoday (or whatever his name is) and Blair McNally, who manage to blag tickets for every game in Europe, and spend all their time being subsidised to watch every club, really get on my tits!
Not a fan of Lewis SB (i think that's his account) - just a silly little kid who misses all the relevant action because he is too busy at the bar.

Yourmatelee is not a friendly guy, had a bad experience with him at an away game where he just wanted to cause some sort of drama. My recommendation is to stay well away, personally.

Glad he was outed as a lapsed Man U supporter. Like many other people who supported Top 4 teams before hopping on the bandwagon.
I'm sure he was on a phone in recently and alluded to Bobby ' God ' Thomas drink driving allegations . Bit unnecessary

People who are offended by vaping. I don't get.
I'm not a vaper but give then a break most are trying to get away from deadly nicotine.
Nicotine is addictive, and I think vapes usually have it to satisfy that craving. But they don't contain the other toxic stuff that makes cigarettes deadly.

You’re not supposed to do it in the stands. Getting a cloud of sickly sweet smoke blown in your face every 5 mins can get annoying.

They do often contain other toxic stuff though especially the dodgy ones.

Seems like a good way to get into the home end if you can't get an away ticket to me, just say you're a vlogger and get your phone out.

The only time vaping has actually been an issue for me was when I had bronchitis and I walked into a cloud of it. It set me off on a bad coughing fit. So I'd imagine it could be an issue for someone with a chronic respiratory condition.
Plus, some of them stink. And some of the flavours aren't too pleasant either.

I know one or two who vape after giving up cigarettes. I'm probably bias knowing those guys as I do.

Of course , Quite right. It's the tar I understand that is the carcinogenic.

We were stopped for an interview by Blair McNally on Friday. He was stunned when I said no.

To be honest, I've watched some of his stuff and it's been OK apart from the the repeated, squeaky voiced, "oh no".

Glad there's a thread on this.

Anyone wearing a Manchester United shirt and now is trying to get all the attention from our promotion can get to fuck. Exactly the type of person you would have to stand up to back in the school years when they were mocking you for supporting CCFC.

Never trust them, same like those who went to watch Wasps.

TBH. I’m more pissed off by the deeks who set off smoke bombs in concourses and terraces. Foolish kids, streaming eyes and coughing their guts up after a few minutes.
