Town YouTuber Alex Griffin has been nominated in the Best Young Content Creator category at the Football Content Awards 2020, while the Blues themselves are in the running in the Best Football Club section.
Alex, 20, has been running his channel, a mix of his opinions plus those of other fans, including those of opposition clubs, for four years.
"Ever since I was young I always wanted to try something different in life and in 2016 I picked a camera up for the first time and decided to start my own YouTube channel,” he told TWTD.
"I was always pretty nervous of the reaction I was going to get but my friends and family gave me support and the past couple of years my channel has took off and I’ve gained nearly 7,000 subscribers in one year with a total 1.4 million channel views.
"The aim is to make my dream become a reality and make a full-time living from Youtube but that will only come from my continued hard work, dedication and motivation.”
Alex, who lives in Ipswich and has been watching the Blues since he was five, says he was disappointed not to get nominated last season and that gave him additional motivation.
"Last year I missed out on this great awards event and was gutted but I kept my head up and put in 10 times the amount of work and this year I’m delighted to have reached the final,” he added. "So if you could vote for me it would genuinely mean the world.”
Town are one of 10 sides nominated in the EFL section of the Best Football Club category for "the football club producing the best content across all available platforms on web, video and social”.
