I also answered some of your football questions.

If you're an airline, car company, train company or whatever, sponsor this guy. He's brilliant. His open-minded enthusiasm for football and for people is only going to reflect well on your brand.

[@sandersson2813]

By far the best Scottish football channel. A likeable guy who covers without favouring any team. To be fair, he doesn't have any credible competition (I'm thinking Si Ferry here) but he does a brilliant job. Deserves all his success.

[@TheGrimReaper9884]

My business associate, Sheikh Mitager, own's all of the above, plus Oil Wells, and is always interested in money laundering, football opportunities in the UK. I'll contact him, but it may mean a Middle Eastern theme, name change for the Channel, he might be wary though, as he told me his investment in a 'Gazza Strip', took a pummelling?

[@spacelab777]

I think your sincerity and enthusiasm makes you ideal what this. It is very much appreciated how much you have done for promoting Scottish football and I am glad it is being reciprocated by a lot of clubs giving you access. Also enjoy your away trips abroad and focusing also on the destination city/ town. Emerging from the dark days of COVID I hope your channel continues to grow. Look forward to more content.

[@SapientiaHaereticae]

Loving your channel! Though living in Germany, I've always had a soft spot for Scotland and Scottish football.. your channel allows me to experience it in a much more intense way than just watching the game highlights. All the best - excited for your future ideas! 👍🏻

[@honestg]

The passion for football shines through which makes for interesting content and viewing. Onwards and Upwards 👍

[@ScottishT]

Guy is an unsung hero, we aren't letting him go 😂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@glasgowmedia7421]

I think you are absolutely fantastic. Particularly the lower league coverage. Your enthusiasm is very infectious. This should be a career for you and hopefully you have a patron set up. You should also have a crowdfund for your equipment. It’s just the norm now. Folk won’t be offended by this approach. You have to be financially sound whilst bringing us all this great content. Your subscribers are fully invested in this channel now. Out of interest, the best game of football I was ever at was Dundee United v Barcelona back in the 80s. Garry Lineker was playing 🙂 Dundee United were the better team and deserved the victory home and away. That match deserves some content. I am sure there are a few United fans willing to offer their memories of that occasion. I can’t remember what channel the matches were on but I think it might have been the BBC. They are usually fine with content use. Anyway keep up the good work young man 👏

[@NiagaraThistle]

Thanks for answering these questions! Have loved following your channel and journey. I really think you and your channel are the BEST glimpse into Scottish Football. Especially as a fan from the US, it is GREAT to see the coverage of teams like Kelty (go HEARTS!) and other non-Prem level teams, their fans and their grounds. Keep it up!

[@cowantom]

you really deserve the success you've had Sam. You've worked very hard and the quality you produce is excellent. Keep it up

[@punesh_au]

Great to see you doing so well mate. Glad you persisted and kept going fella!

[@johnwatt5921]

Your content is great Sam your enthusiasm for football is contagious I wish all good things for you Sam and someone sponsors you

[@Chris-td5zk]

Better content consistently than the rest of football content creator's you deserve all the help and success 🙌 👍

[@tdtm82]

Thanks for answering my question! Some distance! I enjoy your technique and fresh approach with the lack of biased issues which is what we see in so many professional punditry commentaries. Good luck for the future, Sam and I'd love to buy you a pie if we meet at a game!

[@scarlettpimpernel4130]

Your channel is fantastic. Keep up the great work...

[@FootyAdventures]

Thank you very much!

[@wolfcalledloneliness1862]

You've done well buddy I like hard working youtubers deserve a million subs 👏

[@joelaw13]

Dude I love your honesty and overall vibe. Probably the best football youtuber out there (along with Smiv and Stuntpegg)

[@grahamstewart615]

Fair play to Footie Adventures for following his dream.

[@sparkymlarky]

Red star belgrade v Partizan Belgrade is a crazy atmosphere and also Wisla Krakow v Cracovia 😳

[@pkjlr77]

Brilliant to see how well your channel is doing Sam, an even better achievement when consider that you started just before COVID hit. Keep up the great work. I especially like the videos you make when you visit countries outside of the UK, but also ones where you revisit sites of old football grounds ⚽

[@paulsmeaton2667]

Come and do a vlog at CPL club Cavalry FC in Calgary, Canada!!! One of the most unique stadiums and a great day out. We even have Fraser Aird and William Akio who used to play in Scotland!! You could also take in the whitecaps in vancouver and see Ryan Gauld. Do it!!!!

[@AAlion15]

Thanks for the cool update mate. Love the insight. Keep pushing on!

[@sparkymlarky]

Youre probably the most likeable footie person on utube.

[@declangaming24]

He's a good football youtuber

[@grahammorrison7841]

You should be on main stream TV,always excellent! Love you're passion for Scottish ⚽️

[@weebolddavy]

Since moving to Mid Wales 20 years ago I've missed my weekly dose of football watching Clyde. Your channel has kept me in touch with my Scottish roots, the passion that Scots have for the game I miss so much. Thank you so much. It's so sad seeing Scottish football being so devalued because of the obscene money being thrown at the English Premier League when a team finishing 12th could play every match behind closed doors and still turn a profit despite paying many mediocre players silly money. Gone are the days when the top Scottish clubs can afford the quality players required to get to European finals. The fact that the Scottish champions don't automatically qualify for the so called 'Champions League' and the EPL can have 4 or more makes a nonsense of the competitions name. EUFA is more interested in making money than looking after the game at all levels. Keep up your good work, it's much appreciated. PS. If you want to double or triple your views, put an attractive girl in a skimpy bikini as a thumbnail 🤣🤣

[@ambienttv23]

Your content did not look out of place on Sky mate! Keep up the good work, following from Almaty, Kazakhstan!

[@rebeccahaddow7913]

Your videos are awesome. I think that I may have seen you at Kelty last season when they played Linfield in the challenge cup

[@dnef8647]

Love his Videos, greetings from a Bayern munich Fan

[@DistortionGallery]

Great channel. Interesting video, refreshingly honest. Nothing to do with football but... Red Notice (on your bookshelf) is a great read. I can also recommend From Russia with Blood.

[@detectacache6220]

I've kicked my channel off a few times but keep failing. Then gave up when my laptop battery caught fire 😅. Your channel is like therapy reminds me that football is the best spectator sport on the planet 👌

[@kevinbremner6375]

congrats

[@TheUnperson]

I really enjoy your videos, especially the lower league vids. Wish you all the success in the future :)

[@Kieran722]

God bless you lad absolute hero

[@locheeman]

good stuff

[@markpurdie7608]

Keep up the great work you're dedication is first class mate 👍

[@MartinFarrell1972]

It was the Cathkin Park video when I subscribed. I've visited the park twice. It would be good to clear the terraces. I'm too young to remember Third Lanark but my father has been in that ground.

[@kopohui3872]

Hope to see you come to Singapore again :)

[@WallieTheRed]

Everyone has got a copy of sapiens If you ever make it back to s.e.a and visit Vietnam. It's cheap once you're here and there is lots of crazy football here. I've been here and following a club for 6 years. 3 top flight teams in the same stadium with loads of scandal and back story. Love all your content. Personally, my favourite ground hopper. No gimmicks and really gives a good insight of the people in and around the clubs. Here's to the future vids 🍻

[@davidfrew38]

I'm a Scottish Rangers fan living in Chile , there's a Chilean Rangers from a region called Talca created by a Scottish Rangers fan living in the country , they played the local side where I live last week and i went to it , different experience for sure but they do play in the second tier

[@thisweekmetaverse]

Id recommend coming back to Mexico and also Costa Rica. Im going to a game in San Jose on friday Saprissa v Herediano In asia Korea is awesome. For an adventure go to Jeju Island and see Jeju United. They play in Seogwipo at what was a world cup stadium. I lived in Jeju for 3 years, it's a must try!

[@fensterputzernuernberg]

It is not just about investment , You need to have charisma , stage presence , passion and determination

[@BALHAM69]

You should go afc Wimbledon stadium tour. Milton Keynes stadium tour as you are from there 😊 Raynes park vale in the non league if you are down in London England area. A Nairn county match would be good :)

[@inthefarcorner]

Keep up the fine work!

[@archie_football74]

Love the jersey ! 😊

[@bennicholson1904]

Loving the vids mate, keep it up

[@aroundthegrounds1]

Love this Sam, great video and really interesting. Would love to have a chat about channels and get your help.

[@ryanoconnor5612]

Love these types of video! Shame you didn’t answer any of my questions

[@tomsav281]

A collab with Ellis of Away Days would be a great video!

[@paulguise698]

Hiya Sam, I'm like you, I like the Scottish teams that have came out of Highland or Lowland League that have been promoted, Bonnyrigg Rose Is my current favourite, I still keep my eye on Kelty Hearts scores, I hope they get promoted, this is Choppy in Whitehaven, Cumberland, England

[@Owensully123]

What camera do you use for your football match videos? Microphone?

[@billmiller2368]

If you go to America, please consider checking out the lower divisions of the football pyramid! The USL championship or the USL one. The MLS is a little over exposed right now. I think the grounds are interesting at the lower level special like Highmark Stadium for the Pittsburgh Riverhounds!

[@steveburnham8755]

❤

[@thestuffnerd592]

Good video you should go to a New Zealand game speciffically waiheke United home game best atmosphere in new zealand

[@jampam-jf8mt]

Any merch?

[@GordonCaledonia]

Go to the Faroe Islands! Not far, not expensive, or is it?

[@aldopenny]

Fair play to you chucking your job and doing well. But I think for you to say it's easy enough to chuck a job for a few months then walk straight into another in Scotland is nonsense.

[@declangaming24]

KZbin is a hobby people just want to see what content you have with KZbin they take 75% of any donation or membership cost eg someone donates £1 you get like 25P our if someone donates £500 you get about £50 of course I'm estimating . But twitch streamers some have 50/50 splits of revenue someone subscribes for £6 a month your at least guaranteed £3 of the fee. KZbin is not a profitable job and for me KZbin isn't done for money it's for content and have people enjoy said content

[@jackbutler2522]

How much did it cost to move to Australia mate ?

[@lukeobrien8986]

Orkney FC video the only pyramid team I believe not on the mainland, Orkney to William round trip

[@alisonsarahcarroll6063]

Sam would japan be on your bucket list to visit

[@amc5966]

I believe Sam has started turning down going to watch Rangers as there is only so much bad Scottish football he can face.

[@eljumbotron]

do you have a patreon account?

[@FootyAdventures]

No but you can become a channel member on KZbin by clicking the “join” button next to the subscribe button. No pressure though, thank you 🙌🏼

[@geee6424]

Celtic or rangers?

[@FootyAdventures]

Kelty Hearts

[@wexfordlad14]

More money made from The Rangers videos than The Rangers have in their account 😂

[@paulknowles4251]

Love your videos and doing what u do love you tubers who do football videos the guy that dose my club portsmouth he's name is Tom called fournilwrittenalloverit not sure if u have heard or seen he's videos so keep up your videos really enjoy them

[@HyruleGamer]

Genuinely my favourite football content creator mate! Genuine content, great coverage of a variety of football from the bottom, to the top and even to countries you don't always get much coverage on! I really loved the Singapore and Malaysia videos from a few months back 👌

[@derekgray644]

Sam bud. Love the content, love the channel - but the fact that you made less than 2k in that first year for almost 1 million views does not sell it at all as a career option. You must have saved up a fortune before jackin in your job, as that one years earnings would barely cover my monthly bills (mortgage/energy/insurance/Internet etc).

[@nlrlad]

keep up the good work Sam. have you ever thought about doing a video about Murrayfield in Edinburgh? even tho it is a rugby stadium football has been played in it in recent years and it could make a good back story on the reasoning behind the video

[@RysFootyParadise]

As someone who makes similar content and is looking to take a similar path to you mate, I'd like to thank you for this video and for inspiring me to follow my passion also! 👍🏽 Keep up the great work and maybe our paths will cross on our Footy Travels one day 😊 Take care - Ry (Ry's Football Paradise)

[@Mike-William]

Honestly think this channel is starting to become one of my favourite channels on KZbin. Its so fun to travel for football that I was even planning to do your suggestions about quitting your job for this. Next year’s goal! 🤩🙌🏽

[@Mattitude-29]

I’ve not even hit 1000 subs yet as a non league KZbinr and as you say the cost is insane! Also the precious time you have to go out and do other things too Is gone. I’ve spent probably £4000+ but hopefully one day I can get there 🤞

[@mortaj]

Thoroughly enjoyed your recent coverage of Aberdeen’s European game. Appreciate all your hard work and grateful to you for promoting the Scottish leagues.

[@william_marshal]

You've come a long way, my statistics tell me you're now earning more than £400/day on average, possibly more. So well done and it just goes to show £184 in ten months to more than £50.000 per annum in 4 years is well worth the wait and hard work. Love to see you do some video's in the Welsh leagues.

[@kevinanderson5658]

Ever thought sell merchandise ? Like hoodies I love football I love footy adventures ?

[@EAFCBruce]

YOu should do derby days that would be amazing!

[@janseyfarth9489]

Love you dude, best of luck in everything in the future

[@andrewhall127]

Should do Saudi....... lots going on here!

[@johndouglas5378]

Have you interviewed any mangers?

[@ThePeakys]

Keep er lit mate ❤

[@lobofooty]

You encouraged me to make my own videos, you’re the best on KZbin in my opinion. Appreciate your channel and wish you the best. If you ever come to Canada come to the Toronto vs Montreal game “401 derby”. Real history and dislike between the 2 cities

[@Scottjg98]

I met Sam at Spartans and he was so lovely. He gave me great advise and is a genuine great person.

[@jasongarufi8187]

Thanks for this great Q & A Sam. Talking about distance here in the A League we have the distance derby between Perth and Wellington its 5,225kms between the two cites.

[@samelmudir]

you are living the dream, or my dream : ) Just an idea. do footy adventures but at australian footy in Aus and NFL and college football in the US.

[@milesprowerdavis7658]

South Korea is great for football. You ever get the chance to go, meet up with my bro kleaguenglish. He quit his job for footy also and recently did an interview with midtjylland on 2 korean players they signed.

[@darrenbowden3222]

Fair play to u Sam one of the best . There is a team in Manchester called konger fc that play at grassroots level they get 200 plus fans at every game . They are from the Hong-Kong community of Manchester. I turned up to referee them and I was in shock couldn't believe how many fans they had . Keep up the great vids best of luck to u Sam love ur vids .

[@georgerubypoppy1063]

Like your content and great that you were on Sky, Sam, but bear in mind that that particular bar isn`t that high. Remember they have also had Thogden on as well.

[@weealpha64]

Always wondered about being a Patron. Does KZbin take a cut of the money we send you?. Not on Instagram so popped this question on here

[@davidhiggins7094]

Come to the US and do the MLS. I know it’s not on level with European football but it could be fun.

[@s125ish]

Appreciate all the hard work over the last few years. Always enjoy the vids

[@garymcintyre]

Great work without your content the lower leagues of scottish football would not get any coverage as there seems to be only a few teams in scotland according to the media

[@bencutts9858]

Iv been watching you ages now. Keep the vids coming

[@stattonz1]

Great post Sam. We all really appreciate your work.

[@GenialHarryGrout]

An interesting video.

[@adamcran9859]

Great job my brother 💙

[@jackchronowski1259]

Do some afcon games

[@davidhiggins7094]

Love what you do!

[@samrabey89]

I dm'ed you once and u never replied, despite you could have earned money...guess you have to be a footballer to get answered 😆

[@davidwatson5657]

So you tried once to get someone on Yt and gave up, what a prick!
