@@JimTheFly Considering there are high schools that draw 20,000+ fans per game, and college teams that draw 50,000+ per games - these non-league teams don't even get that many fans per season! Heck, I graduated from a small D3 school, yet would have 15,000 at our home football games. That said, watching Zealand's (and other content creators) visits to non-league clubs - just makes you want to take a non-league stadium tour, catching as many non-league games as possible.

In an alternate universe, only barring outside factors/influences or the ASL not being a shitshow, it could have found a much better foothold here.

Great video mate - the fact people like you exist to boost the reputations of these smaller clubs is awesome. 33 minutes this video has been live and it's had thousands of views. Like 5 times as many views at this stage as Taunton's average attendance.

I love this social media manager guy. As someone who is studying communication, the fact they were on top of you playing taunton so fast is incredible and for them to see the opportunity to be played by a KZreadr to grow their reputation is awesome and inspiring to me. I think I might keep an eye out for Taunton in the future

It was such a delight to see our town being highlighted, and I appreciate the time and effort that went into filming and editing the content. I can't wait to see what you have in store for us in your next video! 👏🦚🎥💯 #UpThePeacocks

I did a similar thing last year, finally getting to visit Whitby Town, who I'd managed to unfeasible glories (multiple Premier League titles) back when I used to play the game 20 years back. I'd taken them over in the national league, when they'd just been promoted, and had no real players.

Taunton and Somerset is a really great place to live. So cool to see Zealand in Taunton!

After all of this, Weymouth managed to stay up after going on a run of wins.

This is a really amazing video. If you compare to Zealand's video when visiting FAC around last year, you can see a lot of difference between professional team in Austria 2nd division and semi-pro team in England 6th division. I hope you keep doing this kind of video in the future as well

Although I really like your FM videos this together with the visit to the FAC Platz is such a fun watch. I really hope that future teams are equally interested in creating this unique connection.

Great video, you’ve made my sons day he’s one taking a picture with Zealand at the start of the video and it’s also his birthday today

As someone that has been born and raised in Taunton and supported this club since I was a kid, watching your save and this video has been so much fun, thank you for bringing eyes and fans to our club and town! Sad I couldn't make the game due to work (I actually work on the same road as the ground) but glad you enjoyed your day at the mighty Wordsworth Drive arena!

Seeing my lovely little west country represented by the Z is beautiful

This is amazing, I love this so much. It’s crazy how much you can do from playing Football Manager to meeting and interacting with the actual football club yourself

Awesome video. It's amazing that all the support from people on here and Twitch have given you the platform to do things like this, the Dorfers visit and the other match day vlogs last year. Looking forward to the other Taunton videos!

Thank you for this video i live just over the road from the ground and the noise this town makes when its match day is unreal. It looks like you enjoyed yourself a lot as well. Always welcome to Taunton zealand.

"Here we have tonights tactics: Hope." Managerial Masterclass.

this is so wholesome. well done zealand, you're a lovely guy.

Love seeing their manager actually do the FM thing of just handing over press duties to his "assistant" 🤣

Jake was great! Nice video Z

Class video Zealand. Taunton are massively in need of a stadium upgrade in order to be allowed to progress up the leagues have you thought about doing a fund raiser for them in order to improve the stadium?

Probably My Favorite video from Z The professionalism on the content is Mind blowing

This is crazily random! Never thought I’d see My home towns club in a KZread video. Good job mate!

Just give this man a British Citizenship. I’ve watched him go from only FM knowledge to knowing more about the game then I do and I’ve been following it for 20+ years! Hopefully will see you at a Burnley game one day!

Fantastic video, I loved it! Can't wait for the the next video with the players!

This might be your best video to date Z. Love to see it. Up the Peacocks!

Thank you for visiting our little town, it was great meeting you! ⚽️

being from the South West and growing up near Taunton I am so happy to see the love towards not just the non-league game but the fact that the best FM KZreadr went there and praised the area. Gutted to have not known about this! Would have happily made the trip back to have met the big Z.

Great vid Z. I love this kind of thing. One of the underratedly beautiful things about FM is its connection to the real world. And videos like this from people like you help further that connection to the game.

Zealand to the coach as an assistant manager: *we’re being overrun in the midfield*

At first, I thought this might be a kinda boring video, but it turned out to be both heartwarming and charming! I have already slapped myself on the wrist for my unjustified, preconceived fear of boredom. When you said you spent the evening in "Tauntaun," I finally realized why you remind me of Luke Skywalker. Thanks for the video and I'm glad you and your club had a great time!

My home town, I miss Taunton. The County Ground, Vivary Park. Things are very different here in Georgia USA!

What a video, that’s the best Zealand video I’ve ever seen. I only follow the KZread videos and admittedly haven’t followed the Taunton series but thoroughly enjoyed this. I’d love if you somehow got involved with all non league clubs and did these inside looks a lot more! If I could like 10 times I would

What is actually epic about this vid is that i was there at the game with my dad and i thought you were there bud but i was like nah must be my eyes innit 😂

Nice to meet you Zealand and good to see our board in a few shots 👍😏

This was great to see, and it's so obvious that it meant so much to you, Z. So glad you got to have this experience.

Zealand is very good at what he does. Great content !

I need to go to some more non league games at my local club. Literally just a 5 minute walk to the ground.

Big up crumpy- was a pleasure meeting Zealand as well

Love these visits!!! Floridsdorfer AC was great, and now this one!!! I'm looking forward to the upcoming videos! Keep up the good work man!!!❤️

As a Bristol Rovers fan, upsetting to see Taunton actually have a nicer ground than us.....

Lee Lucas used to live with my cousin when they were at the swans I think.. recognise the name. Cool to see him still playing

This is awesome on every level

Can't wait for the rest of the videos from your visit, Z! Should have called this series "Welcome to Taunton" and done it in the style of Rob & Ryan though.

Very good video mate, really interesting

"If this guy sells me he's not allowed to come to The Cygnet." Yeah, about that... 😂

These vids are just the coolest, most heartwarming things. I really hope that the Peacocks and the Dorfers before them, get a boost in interest and support from their local area, following their gracious and baffling welcome of our favourite ball deodorant salesman ❤

have played weymouth to premier league before nice seaside town

Not sure how this made my feed - but glad it did

Rob Dray.... What a lovely guy 👍

Zealand, I actually listened to the broadcast of the game, here in the US (via Mixr). I'm a huge fan of Weymouth - which I always play at least one save in every version of FM. Weymouth desperately needed a win against Taunton Town, and a win in their final game of the season, against Dover Athletic in order to avoid relegation. Needless to say, we won both games! Looks like you had a great time! Maybe I should start a KZread channel and a Twitch channel, with a Weymouth save... maybe I can get a similar invite😁

This isn't just great for the obvious reasons, it's also fascinating to FINALLY hear how actual football players feel about Football Manager and how they're used in it. I'm sure there are fun videos related to that out there, but this is the first time I'M hearing about any players reacting, and I find it hilarious.

This is excellent. Truly excellent.

Incredible. I live just to the north-east of Taunton, but also we should definitely sort a fundraiser out to improve the stadium, of course, since it looks just itty bitty.

taunton town was my first save on FM23 i picked them because i loved the logo design... MCcootie was a beast he won me the promotion the first year!
