Very grounded and logical plan. A lot to be said for being a community club in the 5th - 7th tier, that’s a fantastic ambition to have. The EFL don’t allow 3G pitches, as Sutton and Harrogate have found out, meaning people from the area can no longer use the stadium as an activity hub when games aren’t on. Can see Hashtag getting into the National League South in the future, but it’s a huge jump up to make it into the National League Premier from there, as the likes of FC United of Manchester experiences when they were NLN. Best of luck to them and would love them to draw Tranmere in the cup 👍

imo eventually hashtag might get to the prem, but i like how grassroots they are, in terms on doing their shit slowly step by step (for the men's team btw), it's fun to see the progress that a team is making, and imo it also shows more people how the lower leagues are like

[@rickynetogoat5769]

It's almost certainly not going to happen. You have to understand English football system and the amount of investors with a lot of money you need to even get to the championship. It's not impossible but it's less than 1%. Tbh conference league would be a huge success and a deserved one

[@ShanleH]

@@rickynetogoat5769 Yeah I somewhat agree with you, although you also have to remember that the normal rules dont apply to hashtag. As much as it is a football club, its also a business that has a massive fan following. They could 100% make it to the premier league, but, they never will because they will never have a hardcore fan following because they aren't a local club or a club that belongs to a place. They are great for an investment opportunity but not at a massive budget because the returns wouldnt be there. To be in the prem you have to have at least 20,000 fans ready to rock up every weekend to even survive financially, and not much less than that in the championship. And there is no way Hashtag would get 20,000 people buying tickets every week

[@argyledart85]

@@ShanleH lol sorry but you are so wrong it is painful, they do not have a massive following? where are you getting these numbers? 20k for the prem? lol try 35-50k and you will be closer.....and the fact they barely get 50 atm!!! Sadly kids following on youtube are not not followers, they wont be going to games or spending money. They have pretty much hit the celling now!

[@ShanleH]

@@argyledart85 is that not what I said. The fuck you on about 😂. Also 20k is more than enough for the prem in terms of fans who turn up to the prem. half the teams don’t have the stadium capacity for much more lmao

[@alarrim29574]

@@argyledart85 it takes time to build a fan base that comes to games weekend week out.

Plus I would imagine a fair amount of the online fan base don’t even live in England.

[@idrial931]

Tbh I actually do believe they will make it to the prem Spen seems very smart and it has been proven you dont need a super rich owner to be successful. A stadium will definitely help ESPECIALLY because the amount of revenue and interest Hashtag generate compared to clubs around them. Whilst they have to pay more employees, I do believe they would still be making quite a lot more then the clubs around them. I just think people underestimate Hashtags pulling power in terms of players. Almost any youth player that wants to drop down the leagues will want to join hashtag over clubs near them or near abouts, because the amount of eyeballs hashtag gives players and it allows players to shine to a huge audience. As soon as players join hashtag, there followers go up and people become more interested in them. IMO Spencer is creating an effective self sustaining model and doesnt really need to be too rich because of the draw the club has in terms of recruitment and also in terms of higher quality staff joining. It obviously does help that Spen has a decent amount of money as well, like lets not kid ourselves he is still a multi millionaire and therefore the club will always be financially stable. Idk I see hashtag being in league 2 within 10 years tbh, they just have such a good model. I cant really see how the club goes wrong

[@homoerectus3355]

There only 3 promotions away from Leauge 2 could be achieved in less than 10 years to be honest

[@rickynetogoat5769]

@@homoerectus3355 that's a delusional comment. You have to keep in mind that they still have to turn pro and then from that they need investors to even compete in the top end of conference league/league 2. While yes they have attracted a lot finding investors with sustainable wages over a period of time is very difficult and idk if Spencer wants to give up that much of the club. 10 years is so unrealistic but maybe 15-20. I like to say that the conference league is one of the hardest to get out of apart from the championship because the jumps are immense

[@ShanleH]

[@henrybrown9562]

No reason they couldn’t get promoted to one step below the national league consecutively.

[@BadgerOff32]

A someone who's supported Hashtag for 7 years, and even started going to some games this season, I actually _don't_ want them to get to the Premier League. I'm a Brighton fan first and foremost, and when I started supporting them back in 94, we were bottom of the old 3rd division (League 2), and we weren't really that far off being an actual non-league team. We were poor and our stadium (the Goldstone) was basically a big, glorified shed! When we played at the Withdean, the stadium was so shit (it was literally built out of scaffolding!) that we legitimately _felt_ like a non-league team (albeit, one punching above our weight)! We were tiny, but it was great fun and I felt a strong connection to the club! However, the closer we got to the Premier League in recent years, the more distant the club started to feel to me. It's great seeing us doing so well, sure, but it's also not the same club I fell in love with all those years ago, and because of the vast amounts of money involved in the Prem, everything feels sanitised, corporate, and MASSIVELY over-priced now. I literally can't afford to go to Brighton games anymore. I've been priced out of my own club! That's why I fell in love with Hashtag. It was accessible football, with a great story, and it re-ignited my passion for the game. I feel a connection to this club I've not felt in years! My worry though, is that as Hashtag move up the leagues, we'll lose some of that connection us fans have now. We've already seen some of it to a degree. They can't stream live games as much as they used to because as we start playing bigger teams, they are increasingly not OK with us broadcasting live games. I remember a couple of years ago Walthamstow explicitly _banned_ Hashtag from filming, and they had to cobble together guerrilla footage shot by fans just to make a highlights video. If Hashtag got up into professional leagues, suddenly they'd likely be bound by pre-existing TV deals for highlights and live games that would be beyond their control. I'd imagine many more teams probably wouldn't be keen on us filming there. We'd probably start getting less 'behind the scenes' stuff and changing room team talk footage too, because opposing teams could use that info to 'figure us out' (that might already be happening now), and when big money is suddenly involved, it makes sense to shut up shop and keep things secret. I'd be happy if Hashtag stayed non-league. We dream big, sure, but I'd be just as happy staying small!

No need for scouts if they can go to the hashtag academy. There is no real age cap and they can even make the first step and apply for a spot.
