I'm only 33 and yet I am already clearly so far from the target demographic for half the stuff the club does these days. This seems a good bit of marketing, it's just bizarre the way the game has gone in recent years.
Same with the youtube matches. I can't my head around who would ever pay to watch that, but the ticket sales speak for themselves.
I’m recently 29 and feel exactly the same. Somewhere, somehow, things just changed and the interests of the younger ‘football’ fans is not the same as it was. More follow players instead of clubs, more watch YouTube stars and want to be influencers than follow a club and become diehard to that club.
It’s a good bit of marketing and gets our name back out there and spoken of, it’s just I don’t get it either and still (just) in my 20s it makes me feel old.
got to be a trap, any fruitbat that watches more than 5 mins of this fella live on youtube talking about one of our live matches as it happens genuinely needs to be certified immediately
Does he have the match livestream showing on his YouTube channel (That's Football?) with his and fans reactions added in some way. Or is it something different.?
It's where people watch someone watching the match.
You can't see the match... You just watch them watching it.
I'm not sure how many people watch it live but I know the clips do well.
Crikey! Well I guess Gogglebox is popular, so why not.
I’ve done some research. Some new phrases might be helpful:
Mans were mid but now we rizz asf, ya get me? GOATed. I’m in my Charlton—era. Going superstore tomorrow for a glow up. New drip just dropped. Check OF later for fit check. Ryan Reynolds gives me the ick. No cap. Crossbars just hits different. The opps in the Jimmy Seed are such NPCs.] The Covered end bogs are giving yuck, but it’s all gucci.
That Nathan Jones post-match interview was soo out of pocket. Steve Evans always acting like such a pick-me boy. 6-0! Ya got ratioed blud! Ramsay, so sigma. Small won’t sign a new contract… still more of a situationship at this point. Charlie’s new goal music really slaps! Mans was always sleeping on Kish. Curb’s new signing must’ve passed the vibes check…
Can’t see the harm. The game will be watched by 1.25m viewers and some sad followers of his will even attend in an attempt to get a glimpse of their ‘hero’. All money in the coffers.

They won’t be watching the game. Just Brent being his usual self
He's a manc fan. And his appeal is us being able to watch him implode, and I mean really implode at another Man utd pitiful performance No way it works for us. It will just look really false. Should've got one of our own in if this is the road we're heading. That fella that had a meltdown watching England after watching, in his own words ' Aids' all season would've been better.
No idea who he is, (37 because we're doing ages) well not before this thread anyway, social media personality type.
Interesting seeing the views the club tweet got (thanks Callum) so suppose it's a budget Wrexham trial.
Mac and twat got a whole host of bored 40 something American housewives watching Disney+ and buying shirts supporting their English (yes I've had this conversation for real) football team, maybe a couple of his followers will adopt Charlton as their "league one team" and get a shirt or two.
Presuming that this is person CM mentioned at Bromley Addicks regarding raising interest levels about the club.
He's no Ryan Reynolds or Tom Brady but lets see if it works.
I'd never heard of him before this thread but it has no negative impact on me as a fan as far as I can see so crack on.
Will it work? No idea.
To be honest if this is the person alluded too then I’m underwhelmed. I’d expect 90% of our fanbase have never heard of him before today. I was expecting someone more well known.
However, will 1.25m YouTube followers it can’t be a bad thing.

Yes, underwhelmed myself but I'm not the demographic
Like most I have no clue who the guy is and have absolutely no interest in watching him myself but if he opens the club up to a wider audience then go for it
From the very little I've seen of him, he is a knob, but very good idea from the club. In this day and age I think you'll genuinely get random kids taking more of an interest in the club
It's an odd idea whichever way I look at it. I'm aware of who he is, but I have no idea why on earth the club has singled out a Nottingham Forest fan who spends his days doing watch-alongs to Man United games (where the only USP is him overreacting) as the person to help grow our fanbase.
It doesn't bother me; it just seems a bit tinpot. Of course, our Twitter views will go up, and it might generate a viral clip, but that doesn't really translate to any tangible benefits. Katrien Meire orchestrating two people having sex on the pitch got millions of views worldwide, not all publicity is good publicity.
The two tweets announcing this have combined for 150,000 views already in less than two hours.
The prior tweet encouraging fans to “join us in SE7” next weekend for Stockport has been up an hour longer with 7,500 views.
Will 150,000+ views convert to bums on seats? Probably not as many as you’d think initially but I could see it bringing in a new generation of fans over time if repeated a few times a season.

It looks like a load of old shite to me but if the kids like him then happy days.

Worth a go really.
