[@JordRich97]

Hartlepool United with ex Premier League striker and European golden boot winner Kevin Phillips in charge. They’ve won 4 of their last 5 games.

[@partlett123]

That might just be the best proper old of the entire series. Bravo sir, bravo.

[@PJMushroom]

Babe wake up, Smiv is back with On the Road!!

[@somsports8826]

Fantastic get yourself down to Wealdstone smiv you have never been!

[@charliemoore9165]

Definitely Wealdstone, such a class local club get down lad

[@Peterhamlet0402]

Yes Wealdstone my wife’s cousin is on loan there 👌

[@reecedorrell7578]

Next one has to be Southend United, nice easy one for you on travel.

[@72Gaslight]

What about Dorking? YOu haven't done them in ages and that was before they moved to the current ground. Could be worth a visit mate.

[@lukegraf7878]

Anyone else see the ibrahimovic look a like at 3:40 lol. Great video as always smiv, keep up the great work bud.

[@jamieandtherandomstuff]

You've got to come to Maidenhead United. The oldest ground continuously used by the same team, since 1871. Also, it's darn sarf, so a relatively sort journey for you.

[@stuartryan610]

Nibbles!

[@TMul46]

Get yourself to Eastleigh Smiv! They've had a new manager bounce under ex-Premier League goalkeeper Kelvin Davis - no wins in 11 games then they won 5-2 in his first game in charge, plus they're at home for the next 3 matches in a row.

[@jacknotjake]

Been watching you for years now better and better every time

[@stuartryan610]

Just a bit of Stockport history for you....... Indeed founded in 1883 as Heaton Norris Rovers by a local church group. Became Stockport County in 1890 and moved to Edgeley Park in 1900. In 1901 signed the first black player Arthur Wharton who was also a boxer. Signed the first £100 player. Played the longest F. A. Cup game in 1946 against Doncaster Rovers lasting 203 minutes and only stopped because it was too dark to continue. It was a replay after the initial draw at rovers. On the toss of a coin a third game was played at rovers and County lost 3-0. We also jointly hold the record 13-0 league home win record set in 1934 which was equaled i think in the mid 50s by Newcastle. The UK wide record is held by a Scottish team of 36-0. County also hold the record of 9 wins without conceding. Stockport in 1992 went to Wembley twice and were lead out by Danny Bergara - the first non UK manager to do so in a cup final and playoff final. Losing both games. In 1992 losing 1-0 to stoke in the autoglass trophy and 2-1 to the posh in the playoff final. Ironic that to get to the playoff final we beat stoke in the playoff semi 2 legs. 1993 lost 2-1 to port Vale again in autoglass final and in 1994 playoff final 2-1 to Burnley. In that game county scored the fastest goal in a domestic final after just two minutes. Sadly we had two players sent off and in the final few minutes Jim Gannon - later to manage the club 3 times including our first win at Wembley in 2008 playoff final 3-2 against Rochdale - he hit the bar with the keeper beaten. League cup semi finalist in 1997 and promoted to the newly named championship during which time we played 6 times against Man City winning 3 drawing 2 losing 1 in a city team which included kincladsae yup him. 😁. Best bit was watching curly watts - Kevin Kennedy and les Battersby - Bruce Jones both city fans walk out of EP after city went 3 down in 30 mins 😜😜😜😜. There, just a bit of history. Ps...... Stockport also invented football in the community scheme and in the 60s pioneered Friday night football.

[@stuartryan610]

Additional - our biggest away win 8-1 at Bradford city. Bergara was the first non UK caretaker manager for 3 games in 1975 at Luton where he was a coach. Prior to County Danny managed at Rochdale before leaving them for county in 1989 - 1995. He is a hero at county and when he died I had the privilege to attend his funeral in Totley Rise, Sheffield. A uraguyan man who topped the Spanish scoring lists in the early 60s and played for Montevideo.

[@stephenhanable4080]

Been waiting for this for a long time been inconsistent in the last few weeks injury's hasn't helped this season but with some injured players coming back and overall promotion is the target

[@davidstockwell7874]

Smiv. Next one. Have you looked at Aldershot Town. Play off fighting team. Scored lots of goals in all competitions and a tree in the away end. Proper old ground!

[@hotsauce9554]

Yes smivvv loyalties paying off Up the members

[@bridgerdeschamps]

5:19 - looks like Kev joined you for this one too, just had to sit a few seats away

[@kpg-uo1tm]

[@smivadee]

[@Btipton1]

Dorking and collab with BOA👀 but if you want to see a home team win, maybe not

[@Equilibrium_19308]

What a vid smiv mate. Lovely series, keep it going. Anyways my go to word in wordle is STARE

[@howarddavies9677]

Always enjoy the on the road videos Smiv, also glad to hear the pancake scores too......

[@Matt-qr3sk]

Wordle-I started with TRAIN

[@shugthesheep1897]

smiv just to correct ochil hills are more in stirling/clackmannanshire but the highland spring factory is in blackford which is close to perth

[@chrisbiggs4082]

Love that shirt Smiv looks brilliant and I'll try and order one on release.

[@Hopeyhufc]

Come to Hartlepool! You won’t be disappointed! We’ve got Dr Pepper too!

[@callummardling1524]

Dorking is a must

[@Alexbacica]

Maybe you want to head back North one afternoon, Smiv? FC United of Manchester is playing Dragoons Krakow in the European Fenix Trophy on March 10th

[@shaunybwfc123]

Love the video mate watched every single one so far hopefully you do a Bolton Wanderers OTR soon

[@scottyboi52]

hey smiv go to maidenheads york road. Oldest ground in the country with heaps of history. Would make for a great watch

[@williehannon9306]

Love this Matt

[@THORNx]

good to see Zlatan Ibrahimović enjoying the footy 3:38

[@laticrourke3173]

Chesterfield would be a great shout for a quick promotion!

[@richardjennings3049]

Let’s get you back down the leagues. Barnet v Chesterfield on 28th

[@jordancorps3964]

Love your videos best KZbin in the world

[@tobyparmenter1604]

Great vlog smiv ⚽️

[@jamesfenton4979]

1 minute 37 that's Glossop btw where I live looked like you were going the wrong way too 😂

[@smivadee]

Yo members! Did you see this early?

[@JLuts20]

Certainly did!

[@boezerdieser]

If early is now, yes 👍🏻

[@smivadee]

Oh you’re early! We go public tomorrow evening 👌

[@alexlucy8253]

Yessss

[@theshrew8853]

Hopefully its a bounce straight back up to L2

[@lewfitz2758]

Rochdale AFC if you can make it up North again Smiv, we could use some positive publicity right about now... Keep up the good work fella x

[@thebelfry7993]

Got to be heading to Aldershot surely Smiv

[@theaussiemag3738]

Surely you should go to Gateshead, the north is the best & definitely not the fact its the furthest away.

[@tombrown9577]

Great vid this smiv. Quite close to my gaff, vale park there. Glad you didn’t come to us tho, we were doing terrible atm. OTR gotta be Hartlepool next match I reckon. Never been myself but sounds good atmosphere

[@tapedenmark]

An idea for the series - if you watch a draw, maybe go to the away team for the next OTR? Love the series, greetings from Denmark!

[@smivadee]

Not a bad idea that! Problem is sometimes I’ve already seen the away team before but in this case it would be a goer!

[@philhile4527]

First game I’ve been at when you were there. I was ticking Stockport off nall but in that stand behind the goal getting pissed on.

[@sebchambers6055]

6:25 I always start with 'Adieu' for Wordle. Mostly due to it having three vowels

[@KianJones-Binky]

York city would be a brilliant team to watch in the national league, one it's a decent journey and two it's in York could do some sightseeing before the game. Not to mention they're in a relegation battle and their fans are trying to buy back the club from the owner.

[@TravelWithBen121]

Dorking Wanderers!

[@krozjr5009]

I would suggest my club, Maidenhead; but we’re not at home for a couple of weeks and we have an (ahem) patchy track record when it comes to actually winning games.

[@liamscot98]

I reckon you should come up north again and go to a Gateshead match!

[@JohnImk]

You should come Dorking mate good fans and a lovely club

[@TangerineWarCry]

I can't wait to go here next season 🍊

[@courtneybudd7256]

[@Descan26]

@10:34 have a little faith Matt.

[@aggeroxf]

Watch whoever is playing Oxford City, instant promotion

[@reach1231]

Smiv, it might not get you back up but you should go to Rochdale before another club goes into liquidation

[@harveybolland3197]

On the road at dorking wanderers for the national league episode
