[@tomhammond3495]

Thanks for coming Smiv and Charlie. Great to meet you. Glad you enjoyed my little tennis balls idea. Shame we only got 2* for atmosphere. Our atmosphere is better than higher scoring Saffron Walden and Leighton Town usually. We had a few singers missing for this one (also losing the match doesn't help).

[@jovanselakovic]

This is by far one of the best On The Road episodes in history!

[@smivadee]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@tomhammond3495]

I agree.

[@bayareabuggyboo6050]

does anyone else feel like Smiv and Charlie could be an epic commentating duo?

[@FCFLoppy]

ABSOLUTELY

[@baileyref18]

They'll definitely be better than Neville and Carragher 🥱

[@tommcewan457]

Yes

[@luken2135]

Non league OTRs so much better than the league ones. Characters, quirky grounds and dubious food. Love it Smiv and Chas!

[@samgardiner585]

The tennis balls for the 50/50 is such a good idea. Better EARN that money 😂

[@Scaarbs]

Been watching OTR for years now and this one is right up there as one of my favourites lmao

[@smivadee]

Weyhey, great to hear!

[@tomhammond3495]

Thanks. Hope to see you at Brickfield Lane at some point.

[@ttba_1878]

Really enjoying these. I laughed out loud at the realisation of the microwaved burger. Almost as bad as paying 5 euro for a beer at the San Siro and realising it was non alcoholic.

[@paulparkin2445]

Is Charlie actually the coolest man on the planet.....he's seems so depressed but at the same time full of joy....and with smivs witty and jovial plus nicely executed comments.....I'm loving smiv and Charlie 2 posts in a row.

[@owenturner4114]

Those songs made out of songs are elite

[@tomhammond3495]

Thanks very much. We try our best to come up with mostly original songs rather than copying ones from other clubs. No "Hadley boys making all the noise everywhere we go" at our club. Ones that Smiv didn't record are to the tune of Alright by Supergrass, I should be so lucky by Kylie, Bad Medicine by Bon Jovi, Mandy by Barry Manilow, The Mighty Quinn by Manfred Mann as well as various others.

[@92smither]

"another birck in the wall" bit harsh that Smiv😅 10:35

[@joshmarks5387]

Adam at 6:18 wearing a Lesotho national team shirt. I spent a couple of weeks there 2 years ago and searched high and low for such a thing. Couldn't find it anywhere. Fair play. Good luck finding a more obscure national team shirt anywhere else this season. Make it a challenge for ya Smiv?

Here in North America ice hockey circles the equivalent of the tennis ball throw is "chuck a puck!" Same objective!

[@tomhammond3495]

I didn't know this. Amazing.

[@bensteiger3682]

Brick in the wall chant is a banger

[@smivadee]

Wasn’t bad eh!

[@tomhammond3495]

Thanks. That was a collaborative effort between a few of our fans. We've adopted it as a sort of club anthem. The last line that Smiv didn't record was "All in all we're just the, greatest team in football". It's obviously ironic, we don't actually believe that.

[@Ian-pc2hq]

One of my all time favourite series❤️

[@markwillington3327]

Smiv, only discovered your channel over the past week or so - keep up the good work mate, it's nice to have someone covering down to non-league who hasn't got that "anorak" persona! I actually went to Hadley 3 weeks ago and opted for the pastie, as you don't normally get them that low down the pyramid, and that ended up as microwaved sludge as well. The tennis ball thing is definitely unique!

[@smivadee]

Hey Mark! Welcome along and do expect plenty more non anorak non league days out 😂 Yeah agreed, if I ever see anything different I’ll opt for it but as soon as the microwave comes out it’s curtains eh!

[@tomhammond3495]

Yes we will be improving our food for next season when we refurbish the clubhouse and cafe area.

[@chris_3636]

Excellent vid. No "like" though because I missed "cleared by Grimsby". The Hadley "brick in the wall" chant is brilliant. I thought the tennis ball idea was great too. Ok, I have liked it, but I've docked you half a star 🌟 🤔😆

[@smivadee]

Fair scoring I’d say!
