CHANNEL UPDATE - DOWNLOAD LINKS

In a few days I hope to release my next stadium build, and given I feel enough time has passed I now want to address the fact that the download links are no longer available.

Back in February it was brought to my attention that somebody had posted my University of Bolton Stadium build on TikTok and wasn't denying in the comments that the build was theirs, which I interpreted as them in effect taking credit. A similar incident occurred a week later, this time with Ashton Gate.

Now, this is nothing new, and content of mine has been as you say stolen multiple times before; it's also an issue faced by other builders. However, stuff like this is really annoying because of the amount of time and effort I put into these builds as you know, with each one taking months or even years to complete. The style in which I build is also very distinctive compared to other builders, making it a lot easier for me to be able to tell where my work has been claimed by others. As a result of these instances and people claiming my work as their own, I finally took the decision to remove my download links from all sources (YouTube and PMC), thereby preventing anybody from accessing my work.

It's not a decision that I wanted to make, but in this scenario I felt I had no other choice. Of course I'll continue to share my work through my videos and thus hopefully I can get the necessary credit through that medium, but I'm sorry to say that I will not be reinstating the download links for the time being. I will always be evaluating my options as to whether I will restore them or not, and if so what form that will take. Setting up a Patreon has been mooted as an idea but this would mean putting the links essentially behind a paywall.

I know many of you have been messaging me as well as leaving comments as to what happened to the links, and I appreciate that so many of you wanted to download my work, but the fact is it's a case whereby certain individuals have spoiled it for everybody else.

Going forward as I say, I will continue to upload my videos and will of course return to streaming over the summer months, but the downloads will not be returning for the foreseeable.

I hope you all understand and thank you all for the support.

Cheers,

Matthew

I'm happy to say that all of my Championship stadiums are now downloadable on Java. I have added the download links to their respective pages on my profile

Finally, it all comes down to this! After 2 months of work on my tribute to Burnden Park, and the victims of the disaster there 75 years ago, we reach the final day. This stream will run for a maximum of 10 hours, during which time the stadium's 1969 appearance and by extension the project will be finished. Feel free to pop in and out as you please. See you all at 2:30! #BWFC #Minecraft

PROJECT UPDATE (AUGUST 1, 2020) - Unfortunately this isn't a good update. Late last night my laptop practically died and now will not boot up, meaning I cannot access any of the material I have needed to build my stadia. As a result I'm afraid I have no choice but to suspend my building work on all projects immediately for the time being. I'm not sure when I will be able to get going again at the current time but I will update as and when I can.

I have decided that I want to put together a Q&A video that would likely be done on June 1st. The questions you wish to ask can be about anything at all, they don't have to be Minecraft related, this is entirely based on what you would like to know. I will choose a selection of questions from Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Discord and Planet Minecraft which I will then proceed to answer on video. It is up to you how you send them:

Facebook - Message my project page (https://www.facebook.com/EFL1819/)
Twitter, Instagram and Discord - Send in a Direct Message
Planet Minecraft - Send in a Private Message



I look forward to seeing what you come up with

Matthew

I am very happy to announce at long last that I am able to provide download links for all 9 of my completed stadia for you to enjoy!

Hey guys and girls, myself and a few of the other stadium builders on YouTube have created a server for our communities to interact with ourselves and other stadium builders in. If this interests you then feel free to join our new server now.

Work is progressing on the Bet365 Stadium, however, after a productive visit to Sheffield on Saturday, I have now started work on Hillsborough which will become the 10th stadium in my SkyBET Championship 2018/19 Project

I'm currently planning a remaster of my University of Bolton Stadium videos, which will condense the three current videos into one. The picture quality will also be improved and the overall look will feel more professional and practical. The completed remaster will then feature on my University of Bolton Stadium submission at the earliest opportunity

PROJECT UPDATE - January 12, 2019

This is just a quick update as to how the future of the Championship project will pan out as of today.
I am currently on the second block of builds which currently consist of the Riverside Stadium (which has done rather well since its completion in November), the Liberty Stadium and the Bet365 Stadium, the initial plan was to have Ewood Park (home of Blackburn Rovers) as the fourth and final build in this block, with Elland Road, Carrow Road, Hillsborough and the New York Stadium constituting Block Three.

However, due to mitigating circumstances and by popular demand, I am somewhat switching things up a little bit. Since work has not started on Ewood Park, I have decided to push it back to Block Three, with Hillsborough being brought forward to take its place in Block Two. As such it is likely that work will begin on it possibly as soon as the end of the month when the Liberty Stadium will hopefully be finished. I also would like to visit the ground at some point if possible so if anyone knows of any Stadium tours going then please let me know.

Thanks for your support so far and long may it continue,

Matthew
