It's been confirmed that youtube football team Hashtag United will be joining non-league at level 10 in the Eastern Counties League Division One South. What do think about this and do you this kind of thing will become a precedent.

Sounds like an absolute farce. Suspect they will last about 18 months

Ah, excellent. A new thing to hope crashes & burns. Just when I was getting a but numb to Tamplin & his fuckery the gods of football have smiled upon me.
Imagine if they got to the Ryman league and played in a 15,000 all seater stadium that they sold out every week

I mean, lots of questions but.. why are they named ‘Hashtag United’? Did they really need to make the team name as excruciating as the situation already is itself?

It'll be interesting to know how many people actually turn up and pay to watch them. Or will the club effectively be funded by "supporters" subscribing to their online activities. If that's the case the closest comparison I can think of is Metropolitan Police FC, who have a team of semi-professional players funded by tens of thousands of Police officers and staff contributing to the Police Lottery, but not turning up to watch the team.

Reported crowd of around 200 tonight, and their away game at Little Oakley saw a similar crowd, based on what I've been seeing on Twitter. So it seems the online support is at least partially translating into actual support on the day, so far at least. Whether that's just out of initial curiosity or will last into the long term is another matter entirely, but may as well wish them luck.
Despite the understandable misgivings, it does appear from the outside that they are going about things the right way so far.

In #'s defence though they claim to be YouTube video people & are actually YouTube video people.
