Coventry City "influencers" (10 Viewers)

Each to their own but I honestly can’t understand the appeal of vlogging on a game. Standing there reducing the whole visual experience to be behind a tiny phone screen seems bizarre to me.

Most of it's just attention seeking dimwits, but some of them are quite good. That Stoke lad is particularly good at it.

I think there's a place for fans reporting on the game, if they are objective.

I think the saying “empty barrels make the most noise” applies here. There seem to be a stream of people desperate to shout about being a Cov fan now.

Do the Mad Hatters do any vlogs? They could tell a story.

Not all men with beards are gimps

Nor are all women with them either

I think one does. Dave Hatter or something like that on YouTube.

Thanks, I’ll look it up.

Whatever happened to Craig Danny he was all over Facebook and the like a while back

Banned? Sectioned?

That guy has problems.

That Conna has now posted images of him sitting down, filming "content" with Jamie Carragher - this is the issue.

I'm sure he's a nice lad, but the die hard Coventry fan act, is exactly that, an act. He's now using that image to further his status as a face of the supporters and potentially monetise it.

There's people out there, such as Alex Craig for example who's been documenting the club for years, but isn't given the same opportunities.

It's all just contrived as fuck, and that's what gets on people's nerves.

Each to their own but I honestly can’t understand the appeal of vlogging or influencing(?) on a game. Standing there reducing the whole visual experience to be behind a tiny phone screen seems bizarre to me.

Also, watched a few of them and the celebrations always seem muted (particularly that Alex lad!) so they can capture the “scenes” and “limbs” without shakey footage. What’s the point, surely you go to lose yourself in the moment with your family/mates?

Goldbridge who did the Man Utd channel on you tube with the watch alongside has just sold his channels to Gary Neville's media company for a reported 2 million. That might help you understand a bit more.

No idea but I'm sure the last time I saw Craig was the Blackburn away game last season going on about having to stay in a hotel in Blackburn that night.

Standing around him at aways has certainly been a different experience but he is a Cov fan and ultimately I hope he's alright.

Those in any doubt.



Better than some proffessional outlets as hes lived through the whole journey like we all have.

I imagine the following would probably piss themselves laughing at the thought of being called influencers but Alex Craig, LewisTV and the Nii Lamptey show podcast did all influence me to want to get up to games more and support the club back when we were at our worst and made me more determined to back the club after so many years of grinding misery and expected oblivion.

Those years now feel to me like the beginning of our rise.
I guess in that sense I actually have a positive experience of 'influencers'.

It can be a good thing to have new fans but I'm not particularly looking forwards to the modern influencer types who I expect will turn up at some point in the Premier League.
