Most football supporters have to leave after the final whistle. DavidMC gets back into bed, with the pitch still in view.

In "I Survived 7 Days in a Football Stadium", he moves into an old observation room at Galway United's Eamonn Deacy Park. An air mattress supplies the bed; a photograph of his dog Clara makes the place a little more personal. "I want to be able to call it a home," he says.

The new upload has drawn roughly 116,000 views in its first 19 hours. For a creator whose earlier adventures include testing football hotels, this is accommodation with rather fewer comforts and a much better view of the action.

David gives himself domestic jobs as well as a countdown. He exercises around the pitch, builds a football-themed Lego set on the gantry and invites his friend Sean over for dinner. A tour takes him into the officials' and away dressing rooms, places most spectators never reach.

Then Galway United play Bohemians, and the empty ground becomes a very different place. David befriends stadium cameraman Brian, watches a Galway goal from the gantry and catches the finish from his bed. Viewers are picking out a bicycle kick in the comments, while others wonder how he could spend so long in a stadium without playing football himself.

The quieter stretches prove harder to fill. By the penultimate day, boredom and loneliness have prompted an unusually thorough activity: hand-counting every seat in the ground.
