I saw a fair chunk of it. Not what I'd call polished and seemed very experimental. His knowledge of us was sketchy at best, and he didn't realise Leaburn had come on until ten minutes after he had. Unfortunately, there the similarity with Chris Kamara ended.
He was amused by the referee, who he thought a bit of a drama queen, generally uncomplimentary about Man City, and I didn't have much idea what was happening on the pitch for long spells. A couple of his observations made me laugh, but overall I found it quite surreal. Hard watching, but no outbreaks of faux outrage.
From the clips I've watched of him, I'm mildly impressed with it all actually.
He's certainly a lot less emotional / OTT than he is for the Man Utd games (No surprise there) from the clip that I've seen, and think it makes him look a little bit more professional - Just watching the "Live" stream back, and he's got himself clued up, knowing that it was Campbell who got wiped out, had it been me with my eyesight I'd probably just say "the No.7".
He's done well too, to talk about the comparisons between the officiating (for the penalty) compared to the Premier League, given thats got VAR, and reckons we may not have had the pen, if VAR was involved.
Wonder if he'll also try to sell this "Live Event" to other EFL clubs now.
Thing is he is like Arsenal Fan TV and even the main broadcasters match day offering to an extent. You are either watching as you like the person or club involved or want to see them suffer. Not something I will tube into but there is a market for this stuff.
And the likes of Goldbridge/Arsenal Fan TV get most of their attention at times when their teams are suffering, and they’re overreacting to it. Arsenal Fan TV is the absolute worst.
Very strange world we live in now where these “fans” are actually benefiting by making more money out of their team’s struggles.
That’s his total number of subscribers, not the views for any particular video. Keep in mind, whatever the video views are, they will compound over time as well.
How long does someone have to watch a video for before they are counted as having viewed? 1 second? 1 minute? The whole lot? Just interested generally really

I had a bit of a watch this morning. He had a bit of a wander around the non public parts of the valley which I found quite interesting. Didn’t know the tunnel turned into stairs for example.
The views and viewers look impressive, although that's from someone who knows very little about social media stats.
During the game, while watching Charlton TV, I checked the watchalong Youtube page twice, and viewers were at 4,500 near start of the game, and then 7,500 closer to half time. At the time, I thought that was decent, but it's nowhere near the finalised stats in that message.
It amazes me how so many people are glued to a screen for 2+hours on a Saturday afternoon just to watch somebody watching a game of third tier English football not even the game itself.
guess it’s all part of a YouTube generation who’ll have there own reasons for spending hours on it a day, it appears to have been successful so guess if it can help drive support and revenue for the club then why not.

Mate, kids pay to watch people play computer games. It fells like they'll do anything to avoid contact with real people...

They’re probably counting unique viewers - live stream audiences (young people, social media era) have shorter attention spans so they come and go. I wouldn’t be shocked if over the course of the broadcast they had that many unique views / visits. It wouldn’t have been the same 4500/7500 people for the entire stream.
What I would like to know is, have there been any actual tangible benefits from this? has there been any money earned or any extra ticket sales? If not what is the point?

I would say it increased publicity and awareness in the run-up to the match which contributed to ticket sales and the higher attendance.

“I’m nervous and I don’t even support Charlton”
Hopefully many of the day trippers had the same feeling..! Those are the emotions that keep you coming back to the football
(& the wide angle shot of the box he was set up in which includes some of the East Stand celebrating the goal, it’s good footage to rewatch)
Yes you did mate. Well done on slotting that penalty home from up there in your box!

Was it the number of viewers?
Better with the split screen as it shows the action while he's reacting. Thought it was good.

Mark Goldbridge or Mark Goldburn? Mike, maybe?

And Brighton because that pisses them off too.
Whoever is playing against Millwall this week.
Who's my League Two team?
