The brief

This is a multi-format fan media company dedicated entirely to Manchester United. It operates more like a rolling news and commentary network than a single, structured podcast. Content ranges from short daily news updates and transfer rumour ratings to long-form live watchalongs and multi-host debates, ensuring a constant stream of content for die-hard supporters.

“Its primary distinction is the sheer daily volume and variety of content, combined with its legacy as Full Time Devils, one of the original major fan channels on YouTube. The creation of an actual fan-owned football club, Stretford Paddock FC, from the media channel is a unique and ambitious extension of the brand.”
