Great video Matt, really highlights how much work goes into each matchday and how hard the "unsung heroes" of football do their job.

[@smivadee]

For sure, got to shine the light on these people that make the club tick

[@LiammmX]

Really enjoyed this video, I'm the Media Officer at Dagenham & Redbridge so I understand what Dan goes through on a matchday... So interesting to see how a different club at our level operates too.

[@bodebennet]

Could get Smiv do the same with you guys? I’d like to see another for sure

[@LiammmX]

@@bodebennet I’d love to! Could be a great series 👀

[@danielosulli]

Looking forward to visiting you guys in a few weeks, Liam 👍

[@snxc1627]

I'd love to see you be a groundsman for the day. You're always appreciative of their efforts and I reckon you'd have even more respect for them once you give it a try yourself.

[@reeceburnham4325]

Love this Smiv, really shows how much work goes into Non-League, would love to see you have a go as a kit man

[@oves2006]

What an impressive young man Dan is. Great video Smiv, really enjoyed this

[@smivadee]

Yeah, Dan's one of the good one's! Glad you enjoyed!

[@mitch-ur1ip]

Really enjoyed the video - I've got to say the York City commentator really impressed me with the way he handled the 2nd goal, did a really good job building the moment up

[@smivadee]

Yeah was great, felt like I was listening to the radio, then I realised it was for the radio, was superb!

[@michaelfox8018]

I used to be one of those guys who worked for the local paper in Woking and sat in that press box! Dan and Connor are top lads as well as the rest who work at the club. Top video at a great club. Thank you.

[@smivadee]

Nice one Michael, definitely a great club behind the scenes!

[@grahamboosey9753]

Really interesting video, great to see what goes into the media side, and what a nice chap Dan is!

Cheers Graham! Was definitely a great insight!

York fan and been waiting for on the road up north 😂 also a budding sports journalist so this was a really cool video to watch Smiv. Keep up the good work and can’t wait to see what you’ve got planned on 2023. Hope everyone has a good new year 🎉

[@williammoxon4654]

Just to add to this. David Ward is the BBC Radio York commentator and as you can tell he’s very energetic but does tell the story well

[@gregongao8675]

I love this so much! I live in the states and I tend to pick my football manager saves based on which clubs I love most from your vids. Gonna definitely have to start one with Woking now!

[@harris5664]

Brilliant video Smiv. I volunteered last season at Exeter City after getting some work experience from Exeter College. It’s really good to see how Dan was able to progress through the ranks at Woking, inspirational for someone such as myself. Honestly brilliant video, Smiv.

[@itshopey123]

As someone who is trying to break into the football media industry, love this video! Thanks Smiv!

[@darkwolf5668]

the boys are back in town and i hope you all had a cood chismas

[@bridgerwon]

I think you're correct on the song. My first guess was Rock and Roll All Nite by KISS.

[@bennygriffiths8416]

Great content Matt - good to put a spotlight on the hardworking faces working behind the scenes. Given the topic of this video, I suppose now would be a good time to give a massive thanks to you. About 7 years ago, I was working in a dead-end job that I really disliked having tried and failed to get into media. After seeing your work on Palmers, I picked up the camera again and began content creating. Having bought a second hand video camera, I started volunteering for my local rugby team in Wales - gaining experience and making connections. That eventually converted into a full-time media job with Ospreys Rugby. I've since carved out a full-time career within media and comms that eventually led me to the media team at Swansea City. While there have been a lot of incredible moments, I can pin-point the "lightbulb" moment to take a chance on sports media down to your Palmers + Last Week Vlogs all those years ago. While you're subs and viewer counts are impressive, one thing you can't get analytics on is the intangibles of influence... and your influence certainly helped me turn my hobby into a dream job. Thanks for the influence - or as we say in Wales "Diolch" 👍👍👍

[@smivadee]

Amazing read Benny! Thanks for the comment and I’m so happy your journey has gone the way it has! Inspiration as you say maybe down to me which is cool to hear but the hard work and drive is all down to you so congratulations on landing the dream job! 👏

So much content in season seven, VIP matches, Otr on the road series and now a social media officer for a woking match. Nice to meet Dan in today’s video. Hopefully you go to Kingstonian match January 2nd because they do a raffle for you to have a attempt on. Thank you for the video 😊 Groundsman at Wealdstone And kit manager at Maidstone United are two suggestions from me
