Hashtag United are not only the biggest \u2018YouTube Football team\u2019 but they\u2019ve made the outside footballing world take YouTube football seriously.<\/p>\n<p>Hashtag United started as a group of friends who played in YouTube documented, exhibition style fixtures and subsequently gained a huge following. 5 years later, the clubs first team play their football in Isthmian League North Division \u2013 not bad for a YouTube side\u2026.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6945\" src=\"https:\/\/stretfordpaddockfc.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/team_photo_21-22_toby-1024x683-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stretfordpaddockfc.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/team_photo_21-22_toby-1024x683-1.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/stretfordpaddockfc.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/team_photo_21-22_toby-1024x683-1-600x400.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/stretfordpaddockfc.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/team_photo_21-22_toby-1024x683-1-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/stretfordpaddockfc.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/team_photo_21-22_toby-1024x683-1-768x512.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Well Into Preseason<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On Saturday, The Tags are facing a Stretford Paddock team who are in the heart of their preseason. After 2 months off, the Paddock boys were met with a 5-3 loss away to Chorlton FC. They soon however, turned things around with two domineering victories on subsequent weekends beating North Manchester FC 9-1 and coming from 2-0 down to beat FC MS 7-2.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday\u2019s fixtures will be a tough test for Paddock since Hashtag United Reserves play 2 tiers above them. Hashtag Reserves last season finished as runners up in the Essex Senior League Reserve Division 1 meaning they will play another season in step 5 of English football. Ste and the lads will be hoping that the big occasion might just work in their favour.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Looking to impress<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Many players will be looking to impress ahead of the 2022\/23 season. After scoring 4 in last weekend\u2019s victory, Niko McCreatch will be looking to further impress. The league\u2019s top assister, Mikey Burke, will be looking to build some form to take into the season as well as Connor Knowles who might well be making a first team debut tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to watch the clash between the two YouTube sides, the 4pm kick off is will be broadcasted live with commentary on the Hashtag United YouTube channel.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Kick-off is at 4pm!
