    Cor that was weird seeing us mentioned in the Mail. Mixed feelings really! Thanks Clive.

    Edit - scratch that, looks like voting has closed already!

    This is genuinely the best football related content on YouTube. It's ironic the channel is called 'a bunch of amateurs' as in comparison, that's how others (and mine) football videos look compared to this.

    You really appreciate the hard work and editing that goes into this when you have a dabble yourself, to have this quality of video, it's relentless work.

    @JiMMy 85 videos are a massive inspiration for me so it's lovely to see him get his plaudits and rightly so. If it wasn't such a popularity contest, I suspect his channel would have already have won many awards. 

    It is inevitable that this channel grows and grows, there's some utter guff on YouTube that gets more of a spotlight than this, but as long as the videos keep coming, undoubtedly so will the growth. It's too well produced and entertaining not to.

    Congrats, pre-emptively, on the 100k subs which you will undoubtedly reach. 

    Keep going mate 👍🏻

    Apparently Cundy calls me “the fat guy with glasses” on that show. I need to listen to it to be sure - if he does then I am making him my next mortal enemy.

    I think I met that guy! He came into the dressing room and asked for a photo. I couldn't believe the tour guy was walking into the away dressing room with all the kits out. Very cheeky move.

    Is there any chance you can make a film about our ‘Board of Directors’ ?

    Funnily enough I had a few chats with people on here about delving into our owners for a film a couple of years back, but when Prague said I’d have to consider my personal safety I figured, I’ll stick with the lunatics at Dorking for now.

    Loving the recent attention paid to wound up opposition fans, brilliant content. Hartlepool last month over the disallowed goal and then Aldershot this past weekend with the corner antics.

    Cundy really f*cks me off.  If he said that about me, I'd be waiting outside the News building for him lol.

    It'll be interesting to see how Aldershot feel when I ask them to let me film there in a month or two!

    That video of the corner antics is an absolute belter!

    Can someone stick the link up here. Deserves a wider audience.

    I was already a fan of your work with the gold you got from Barks so transitioning to Dorking and a character like Marc was smooth. You then became a personal hero of mine when you told the ginger full back to go fuck himself! 

    Really pleased for you the success you are having with this, nothing but admiration for anyone taking leaps of faith and backing themselves like you have done

    Yeah I've got mixed feelings about how it's gone - a lot of aggregator accounts are using it, and that always winds me up! I spend 50-60 hours a week on this stuff and they get revenue from it for less than a minute's work, while giving me next to nothing in the process.

    On Twitter for example, they don't just repost, they embed it so it looks like it's their video. The link to my account is minimal and 99% of people who see it will sub to the aggregator, and won't even think of clicking through to the originator. So there is a bit of good in terms of the brand recognition or whatever, but the entire point of the short videos is to get people to go watch the episodes. 

    It has definitely done a lot of good for us as the episode is doing good numbers and our followers have gone up, while also highlighting exactly why I detest aggregators so much!

    My 4 month old son is either strawberry blonde or...well, let's just say I am prepared to switch sides and start fighting for ginger rights.

     I think of bigger concern is Marc's Barnet.
    What on earth is going on there??!

    I am a subscriber and love it. The constant Charlton references are appreciated. 

    I know it winds you up but the pettiness of some of the clubs is so funny and is exactly what non-league can be!

    Keep it up mate.
