Hey guys! Apologies about this edit. A few silly little mistakes that I didn’t check before uploading. I’m juggling a hell of a lot behind the scenes right now and as such, burning the candle at both ends with work, family and everything else in between. I hate that silly little mistakes are now creeping. Time for a reset I think. See you soon 👌🏻

Hearts vs Hibs derby or any Hearts game bwcause its a nice traditional ground and good atmosphere

While the “ON THE ROAD” is iconic... I’m always fond of the line when they’re checking the nets. They never seem to realise that “there’s plenty” of holes in the net.

One thing about Charlie, always looks proper clean.

A man drives around to football and watches games, it makes no sense that it’s loved….BUT Smiv is a goat and for some reason it’s impossible not to watch 🐐

The problem with the memorial is it’s more of a rugby stadium where Bristol Rugby used to play, the rugby side have moved to Ashton Gate to be in the same ground as Bristol City due to the owner of Bristol City owning Bristol Rugby too from what I believe

9:25, nice to see shels featured in a way, 100% worth a go for a atmosphere in the league of ireland next year especially for a big dublin derby against with of the 3 dublin teams

Get yourself Into the east stand at Fir Park to watch Motherwell play if you come up to Scotland. The town is really close to Glasgow so if you're gonna watch one of the old firm on the Sunday you may as well come see us get beat on the Saturday x

The Clive story still lives on makes me laugh every time 😂

My family always puts the decorations up on 14th December. On a completely unrelated note, my birthday is 13th December.

If u visited us 5 years ago, we would of probably been the best ground you've ever been. Been a Rovers fan all my life and the back to back promotions of 5/6 years ago seem a long time ago. This place used to be rocking and atmosphere would definitely of been 5. Unfortunately the club is abit of a mess at the moment. Still enjoyed the video. "Fooooooootball"

"best ground you've ever been" phaaa, he was generous on the facilities, if he was in the away end it would of been the first ever -5 stars.

Absolutely love the look of the memorial despite the low score, definitely paying a visit one day. Got to cherish real grounds like this with their unique quirks, the game would be nowhere near as interesting without them

I love stands without a roof on them, its just great banter to do that in England where it rains for 90% of the matches.

For Scotland games you should definitely watch one of the derbies whether that be the Dundee derby, the old firm or the Edinburgh derby. Always great games

Watched a load of your videos going back 18 months or so ago so when I saw you were visiting the Mem I was proper excited. Can’t fault anything you have to say really. Sad to see us come last. Almost 2 years of awful form has left us feeling very dejected. It hasn’t been fun being a gashead in a long time, and match to match you forget how awful the facilities are until a video like this shows our stadium for what it really is. Hope one day you’ll be able to visit a new stadium of ours with us in fine voice. Rumour is an announcement could be soon on a new stadium as part of a bigger scheme in a run down part of Bristol which is due to be largely flattened and rebuilt. Always rumours though!

Last Thursday of November

1st of November is when the lights and tree go up

The way you include an Instagram comment in the video before showing the comment in the video is an underrated touch of genius. Every video I listen for something which sounds odd and it always catches me out. True creativity.

I get so hype when these come out!

As an American, I don't put any decorations up before Thanksgiving. It's useful having a hard start to the holiday season.

Or at 3:21 when a squirrel jumps from the wall to the tree

Instant like bc it’s Smiv he can’t produce anything but classics

Great vid, Smiv! Thanks for doing these trips for a football crazy fan locked up in the Levant.

Absolut brilliant video mate. I have been doing the impossible to go and a watch a game at The Memorial and your video is one of the few video that felt the most closer experience to that. Thanks for that bro. UTG

Scotland have Friday night fixtures sometimes, could even do 3!

I think we need a spinoff show where you show us exactly how you always manage to spend around 60 quid in the services (obviously excluding petrol)

Always love you give the referees Matt! The bromance is alive between you and Charlie. No other man would eat spilled food off a trainer. 👟💖

Mates missus puts the Xmas decs up on the 1st of November every year. Mental!

1st December is bang on

If you are ever in scotland need to visit dunfermline, decent atmosphere for a championship side and the bridies are class!

Really enjoyed the video as always. The edit and commentary in your videos over many years has been top class. A mistake every now and then is totally forgivable . Keep well Matt take care ,love your work.

Christmas stuff in the US always put up No earlier than last Thursday in November (Thanksgiving). Got to have thanksgiving first

prawn mayo sandwiches are underrated i dont want to hear anything else nothing better

Smiv I agree with ya Mrs definitely November for Xmas Decorations. I have started putting mine up today mate

I've been waiting for this video! :)

Right smiv when you go to stoke I’m going give you a bit of advice. You want to either sit in the boothen end or in the corner nearest to the away fans. When getting food get burgers outside as I think they are better, the pies are quite nice as well. You could get chips either outside or inside it doesn’t particularly matter

In Ireland we put up the decorations the night of the late late toy show around the 27th of November

Amazing as always mate

2:28 - it's that cat with the bird in its mouth from the last video!

If your coming to Scotland the 2 teams you should watch are Celtic and Hibs 🇮🇪

class video as always smiv!

Anyone see the cat at 3:16 surprised smiv didn’t pick up on it

300 seated but the screen shows 3000. Love the hard work smiv 🤣

Great video, always nice to see Rovers get battered!! 😂😂

Smiv has truly inspired me to start visiting football games within my area even if it is by myself :)

St mirren for up north in Scotland, 1 Town club but just outside glasgow(easy for access) also in the premiership with a very good atmosphere if your in the west stand.

Hi smiv I put my Christmas decorations up on the first Saturday of December.

Always remember the stadium from when Bristol rugby used to play there being a mascot no old enough to drink at Aston gate watching Bristol bears 🐻

december 12th is a good day to start putting up the chritmas decorations smiv

Christmas Decorations always go up on 12th of December no earlier no later 😂

Great video! Would love to see you visit Fort William FC and Cowdenbeath in Scotland at some point!

On the cold dark rainy Monday night, the shining light to warm up our evening, On The ROOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAD!

For Those I Love's self titled album is one of the best albums of the year. That's mental

First weekend of December for the decorations

love it smiv

If you were to ever come up north into Scotland for a weekend I’d definitely recommend Raith Rovers. Or as Jeff Stelling calls us Roith Ravers! Timmy Abraham was also on loan with us last season. (Not good at all😂)

Love this video

A Crawley Town award winning sausage roll is one of the best you will ever have!

Decorations go up the day after Thanksgiving it is actually a part of our holiday tradition for that holiday is putting out Christmas stuff the next day.

If you come up to Scotland, come watch the Hearts at Tynecastle

Brilliant video 💙

After thanksgiving is fair game

Get yerselfs up to Vale park boys!!! KEEP UP THE AMAZING VLOGS AND HARDWORK !!! its appreciated by all football fans

Should’ve came cardiff stoke on the weekend i was there,absolute scenes

Come to Bristol city vs Cardiff on jan 22 it will top the table.

Great video as always Smiv, if my missus had her way xmas decs would of been up 1 Nov but we come to an agreement for them to be up no earlier than last week of November even though I think 12 days before xmas is best.

Kelty hearts has to be up for a Scotland trip great story behind the team and fair to say a great watch

Here in the States it’s the day after Thanksgiving. Also when I start playing some Christmas bangers.

my club queen of the south would be a great one to do just over the boarder 1st of december for me as well enjoyed that one chhers chaps keep up the great work steve

I went to Scotland over the weekend to watch East Fife vs Dumbarton didn't want to go to the main teams so we chose that league 1 game, very enjoyable experience as it was something different, I can confirm justice for stewards isn't a thing at east Fife

Need to go to the Pirelli to see Burton Albion, so we can see how my mate's team compares to the Gas experience!!

damm it i am commenting late but i have a funny story about Joey barton. When i stayed in bristol i stayed in the same hotel as him and the Bristol rovers team but this was the only positive 1 night = 3 fire alarms.

Should come to a swansea game. Cracking atmosphere

Get yourself to Easter Road or Tyncastle and watch Edinburgh city who usually play on a Friday as well, could make a weekend of it if the fixtures fall nicely
