Non league clubs are amazing and I love finding gems like Maine Road FC tucked away between the big clubs like this. I encourage all of you, if you can make it to your local teams games, give it a go.
Great content. Maine Road FC are a fantastic little club, bit of a shame there is no links between them and City as there's lots of potential there
City fan since 1966 .... I always knew that
That they was around never seen them play but I think I'll take a trip down and see a Game sometime... would be nice
If pep could take MAN CITY to play MAINE ROAD ... wonder what the score
Would be ... Nice Volg mate 👌. CITD
You didn't get a free drink & programme, it was included in the price you paid to see Manchester City play the other evening. The original Maine Road also played host to concerts such as; David Bowie and hometown heroes Oasis. It's good what supporters clubs are doing these days, it brings communities together.
That is the difference between Maine Road and Manchester City,good friend Steven Wilcox!!!:-D
And the Doves !

It is interesting how fans of big clubs in England start new, smaller clubs similar to the original ones for various reasons. Here in the Czech Republic, it works differently in a way. Here were enthusiasts who supported the biggest teams in the Czech Republic, Sparta or Slavia, and decided to found a club in their city and name it after their favorite club from Prague. So just for example, Sparta Prague fans in a small town called Úpice founded a football club and sent a request to Sparta Prague if their club could be called Sparta Úpice. If Sparta Praha complied with such a request, the club was named after her and thus the Sparta Úpice club still exists today. And all over the Czech Republic, there are a lot of clubs from smaller towns with the name Sparta or Slavia, because they got permission to use that name from big clubs in Prague.
BRO Sparta Upice is apparrently 103 years old, that's mental
@@niismo. yes Úpice is 20 km away from where I live. And yes Sparta Úpice was founded in 1919. And later they ask Sparta Prague for approval to use name Sparta. Sparta Prague was founded in 1893, so along side their rivals from Slavia Prague they are one of the oldest clubs in Europe. If you don’t count English and Scottish clubs which for obvious reasons were founded sooner.
@the Game, Review and Reallife Channel It may seem weird but small clubs all over the Czech Republic want take name of bigger clubs. Sometimes founders of this smaller clubs were supporters of Sparta or Slavia so they want the same name for their hometown football club.
The street called Maine Road got its name from the American state of Maine. Temperance advocates from Manchester gave it that name because Maine once outlawed alchoholic beverages well before the national Prohibition of the 1920's.
Felt proper old school Footy Adventures this. Fantastic stuff
Fair play to the manager for admitting his alliance. The love of football makes you do strange things i guess
Brings back memories, I played a few games for them 20ish years ago. A small club but a good one!!
hello from brazil, nice job man, for me so far away knowing new stuff, new clubs, new stadiums, the city, everything is so great, thank you and keep going ^_^
Greetings from Norway, was fantastic to see the video! Bought myself a Maine Road shirt last year. Next time I travel to the UK, watching a Maine Road game is on my list!
Nice to see the sun shining at "The Stade" in Brantingham Road.
Grassroots non league footie. The backbone of the game. Builds friendships and supports communities up and down these islands.
Great video. Well done for highlighting MRFC.
I would say that. I support them.
Cheers Mucker.
Oldham Athletic might join MRFC in a few years time.
The manager admitting he was a red, through very gritted teeth😂
Walking around Moss Side......you're a BRAVE man !!!! 😉
💀
come to glossop north end smallest town to have a team in the first division
My dad played in the FA Cup for Maine Road! Always good to see more people talking about the club !!
Really
as the ,water boy
Visited it today, rushing over from Old Trafford at full time. Really nice club, very welcoming group of supporters, wish them all the best
As you’ve done the extreme North of Scotland. How about an extreme south of England (Devon/Cornwall). Love the work mate as always ⚽️
Really interesting Video mate. I didn't realise that Maine Road FC went back as far as 1955. I always thought that it was early to mid '60s. Love your videos, keep up the great work.
Love your vlogs , I think if your doing non league clubs , you should do one from Ashton under Lyne. They have two non league teams in the small East Manchester town . One is Curzon Ashton , the other is Ashton United . There's plenty of famous professional players from Ashton , including World Cup winners Geoff Hurst (England 1966), Jimmy Armfield, Simone Perrotta ( won with Italy 2006) , Mark Robins (man united) , Trevor Ross ( Arsenal & Everton ) . Rob Holden (Arsenal) .
Wow that sounds like my kind of place!!!
It's also only about 15 minutes drive from the Etihad Stadium . There's statues outside of Curzon Ashtons ground of the 3 world Cup winners from the town . A great story about Simone Perrotta was he was born and brought up in the town (his mum & Dad ran the local pub Yatess wine Lodge, he had trials at local clubs but nothing materialised, before going to Italy and got signed up by Roma , then played centre midfield for Italy in the 2006 world Cup final . You could say he's the latest English born player to win the world Cup..
Ps there is also massive rivalry between the fans . As you can imagine .
There’s a town near Wigan called Ashton in Makerfield which is where I’m from. There’s actually two football teams there. Ashton Town & Ashton Athletic. I have friends who follow both teams, in fact, I have a friend who is chairman of Ashton Athletic
The tameside area as got a good selection of non league clubs nearby to each other droylsden, mossley stalybridge, Hyde
I didn't know there's a Non League versions of famous clubs in England, I'm a decade fan now of City and it's interesting to know these facts
You should go to Isle Of Man as they play in the NWCL but on Saturday's they play home games at about 6pm so the away side can fly over
City and a Maine Road fan from Singapore here. Planned to visit Maine Road FC back in 2017 for a game but game got cancelled so had to miss watching non-league football. :( Hopefully in the future I will be able to complete the wish of watching the Road play at home!
Love seeing the stadium tour! Keep it up bro!
great video. I know Dave too! That was a surprise! Very good fella. You should check out Maine Rds local rivals at West Didsbury and Chorlton. They're quite a "punk rock" club. I'd also recommend Hyde United too. but there's so many good clubs and grounds around Manchester area! Love some of the NWCFL
Punk rock more like woke scum that's why they ate hated
I grew up watching Atherton LR and have been to Maine Road a few times. I live in Devon now, but still check on LR and ironically MRFC. You should check out the three Atherton Clubs and Daisy Hill FC. You’ll get all 4 in in a couple or 3 hours.
what a cracking video well done mate, loved the dave bloke proper fella
Excellent video as normal love this channel hopefully you'll have a trip down to Loftus Road in the near future
Erm i had a season ticket at Maine rd for many years I'm not old school lol...great video, youve done the Etihad, Oldham now here recently im slap bang in middle of all of them would of give you a propa tour of the football history in these parts...next time maybe
Great video as always Sam. Maybe give Wishaw Wycombe a look. Just up the road from you. Interesting tie in with the connection to Wycombe wanderers similar to Motherwell and Bradford and I think Snodgrass donated money to repair the ground after an arson attack
id like to see you visit north ferriby one day. similar level, small village (although technically a different club due to liquidation a few years back) and still managed, by some miracle beat wrexham in the final at wembley to win the FA trophy and reach the football conference.
I grew up round the corner from there on Manley Rd in Whalley Range. Back then, (I'm in my 60th year) It was called Anson Villa FC. Happy memories.
top job, ive watched them there in a cup game, handful of lads i knew played there once, good quality football, its a few levels above amatuer sunday league for sure.
Footy Adventures one day could you please go to Carlisle? I would like you to show us the distance from Carlisle United's home ground to Carlisle City's home ground, then visit Carlisle City FC. i liked this video.
Super video!
Well done Sam.
If you are around that area you should check Northwich out and the history of the two non league clubs there. Very interesting
Great video. I would rather go to a game at Maine Road than Man City.You should do a video on Grimsby Town & Cleethorpes Town
We went on the Man City tour at the Etihad a few years back, and the tour guide was one of the directors of Maine Road FC.
First match at Maine Road 1956. Bert Trautmann was my hero!
Shamrock rovers have a supporters club out in Walkinstown called Glenmalure Rovers. Formed by some rovers fans back in 2020 iirc and compete in the United Churches Football League. Have been promoted on the rovers socials a couple of times since they were founded
Really great content, cheers
Basford united or hucknall town would be good ones. Hucknall was in the conference and got to the fa trophy final. They gone to the county leagues now due to financial reasons. Bedford is a good one due to the facilities and their raise
Just discovered your channel and you have awesome stories
Thank you and welcome to the channel!!!
I hate seeing the old grounds and what's happened
Seeing where Upton Park was breaks my heart all the time seeing the flats buil up on it,I would love to go round and visit all the old stadiums that have been knocked down or abandoned.
There’s a town near Wigan called Ashton in Makerfield which is where I’m from. They have two non league football clubs. Ashton Athletic & Ashton Town. I have friends who follow both clubs, in fact, I know the man who is chairman of Ashton Athletic. You should check it out sometime.
Nice little ground that from arsenal fan non league football is the place to go and watch football supporting local small football clubs and community I'd happily go to a non league games
I’m a city fan great video mate
Great vid 😎
Why not visit Meadowbank, home of Shortwood United, the other club in Nailsworth...the Gloucestershire town that is home to Forest Green Rovers, who are probably the smallest club ever to have played in the the Football League. It is believed that the entire population of the town could fit inside their two football grounds, with room to spare. Just under ten years ago they reached the First Round of the FA Cup and their home game against Port Vale was broadcast live on TV. Shortwood currently play in the Hellenic League, roughly the same level as Maine Road FC, but their ground ranks amongst one of the most picturesque I have ever visited and the welcome amongst the friendliest.
another good video mate.
Would love you to come to Northampton. Great history with Walter Tull
Thank you. It was be so interesting ! Warm regards from Ukraine !
Loved this. Interesting that the boss is a red.
honestly, go check out South Shields FC. 2.5k to a home game, Kevin Phillips managing with Julio Arca having come out of retirement a few years back to play again (since retired again) and some serious squad and stadium development along the way.
Really interesting video this! 👏
The Idea Of A Manchester Derby Between FC United Of Manchester And Maine Road FC Sounds THRILLING!
Brannington road , Maine road FC use to be the home of the Manchester FA up to a few years ago , so the semi finals and MCR county cup finals Sunday league & grass roots level were staged here, might still do, so when a team from our Sunday league progressed we went down to support, never got the chance to play there myself , quarter finals was our best knocked out in a replay by a team with a few semi professionals , not bitter 😂 got to play at Salford city in our own league final prior to the class of 92 ownership when it was just 1 main stand and a corrugated bus shelter type opposite, about 500 watching, still chuffed with myself when I think about , Salford city were only getting 150 for games at the time
I’m a groundhopper and I almost went to this ground last month but plans changed last minute, hope to make it there next time I’m in the area though
Greetings from Ireland,interesting video covering non league clubs.do you play for a football team yourself?
I love your vids so much
Thank you very much. Appreciate the support!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Interesting fact about the benches actually, one stand at Maine Road actually used to be all benches. I think it was the Platt Lane end.
@Harry Hutchison You're quite right pal it was the Platt Lane stand before it was demolished in 1992. Those benches did have back rests though. The new stand was originally called The Umbro Stand, opened in '93 v Spurs in FA Cup. It later reverted to being named "The Platt Lane Stand"
I used to play for Maine Road a great little club used to also play Manchester County games there 👍
"imagine being an old school city fan"
me, a 33 year old: now that just makes me feel old!
lol in all seriousness what a great video.
You should try and get to a Wrexham game Sam....Quite a story going on there since the takeover.
Fantastic video again 👍👍🚜🚜🔵⚪️
Thanks nick. So good to see you still enjoying the vids!
Great and interesting video. You want to go to watch melton town a club on the up pushing for a promotion in step 9 but spent loads on money on the ground last couple of years, get decent crowds every home game, a fantastic new clubhouse, match day programme for £1, local beer on tap. Great stuff
I would definitely suggest going to watch a livorno or treviso game.
Both clubs were in serie A during the 2006/2007 season and now play in the fifth and sixth division of italian football.
I swear I watched Livorno in 2013 or 2014 season in serie a or am I tripping ahaha
@@elloco9408 yes before they just collapsed and had consecutive relegations to serie D.
They subsequently folded and started again in eccellenza.
Also you just reminded me of chievo verona who went completely bust however they shared their stadium with hellas verona
Dead weird that he's said "foraging" might not be the right word and it's precisely the right word for rooting about in search of mushrooms or what have you. As for tiny clubs like this, as Fungal Punk stated it's a purer experience of footballing played for the love of the game and hearkening back to it's earliest days of establishment in the late 1800's. Cheers.
them bench seats are from the old platt lane stand from maine road
Can you maybe try the Liverpool protest club ‘AFC Liverpool’. Very much supported by the spirit of shankly and has a good meaning behind the team
Why was it set up, what was it protesting?
Maine Road FC was just a bunch of City fans who wanted their own non league side in the 50s, there wasn’t a protest involved and I don’t think most City fans know they exist.
@@tomben6180 the club was founded due to the rising ticket prices, commercialisation and corruption that was rampant throughout the club after the sale to hicks and Gillette. AFC is just an anagram for ‘Affordable Football Club’ and they have been supported by Liverpool figures such as rafa and kenny.
@@lile.x.e Ok thanks, that’s interesting. How do you compare to FC Utd? They were very popular here in Manchester for a period of time but it’s dying a bit of a slow death now.
I’m a City fan so that doesn’t bother me 😂
You should visit Abbey Hey... same league as Maine Road, and it's their 120th anniversay this season
Found your channel today. The Oldham Athletic video. This place is round the corner from me, tempted to give it a go. How much did you pay here?
You really should come down to Newport, we have the cheapest padded seat in the big 92! (Box)
You should go to ashington afc they play in the ebac northern league and it’s an amazing atmosphere
Great channel
love you to do a birmingham one
I came on as a sub there years ago (it must have been the shortest sub appearance in history). I came on, the game restarted, I went up for a header (I won it by the way, not bad for 5'8 Lol), came down and went right over on my bloody ankle. Had to come straight off. I was on the pitch for less than 30 seconds. Lol.
You need to get down to London to visit Clapton CFC. Great club
Wonderful club deserves more fans
nj
Nice my brother 💙👍🏻⚽
OK, the standard of football won't be the same as what you'd see at the Etihad but you'd probably have a good time and as an added bonus might see one or two players who eventually make it to the PL.
Just throwing my club 1874 Northwich in there as a club you might like to visit, we're currently playing in the NPL West division and ground share with Barnton FC
What software do you use to edit?
What background music do you use for those close up shots? I love it!
10th tier - Prem/championship. league 1 & 2.. national league, Nat. North & south tier 6) - Northern premier(Isthmian & southern premier ( 2 regions - central & south) - 4 @ Tier 7: Tier 8 - is the first divisions of these leagues (3 for NPL, 3 for Isthmian & 2 for Southern) - Tier NINE for you is the premier division of the NW Counties (along with (I think 15 other) regional leagues - i.e. Northern League (the oldest league) - where Newcastle Uni(versity) play (note play on Uni(ted))- Tier 10 for this league has 2 divisions - North & south.
Also the NWC FL has a club where you have to FLY (or catch long boat ride) to play!!
Played there many times in finals and against Maine Road but how the manager thinks its the 8th tier is strange as it is in fact the 10th tier the 1st rung of semi pro football with the Manchester league underneath that of which Maine road used to play in many decades ago.
this is class
14:10 that's the great thing about non league grounds, you can move around and watch the second half with a better view of the other goal. No way you'd be able to to that at the Etihad ;-)
Idea can you also put in the vid some stats relating to both most importantly the closed game between each team ether leagues or league placing a apart
congratulations to you and faithlouisak
My best mate plays for Maine Road. Big up Joe Keyworth. P.s. he's says he's a red but he's clearly a blue at heart lol.
Mushroom collecting , not done that in many years . Never would take my supply to a game tho
Isn’t the old Man City in or near
Moss side ‘ lovely area 😱
Walking round Maine road old ground looked out of place in Moss him 🙈😂
Come to CANVEY ISLAND FC in South Essex!
Imagine a derby between Maine Road fc and fc United of Manchester 👀👀
It’s been done before
There has been one in the 2006/7 season played at Stalybridge over 3000 there .
There’s been them before, they’re completely different clubs tho, FC Utd are a protest club and lots of Utd fans chose to ditch Man Utd for them.
Maine Road FC is just a bit of fun and most City fans haven’t even heard of them.
Chemtrails! Holy hell
Would you ever be interested in doing some North American teams (if you were actually able to go there)?
Would be cool to see Wrexham FC
Maine Road FC play in The North West Counties League Division 1 South the 10th tier of the football pyramid my local team not far from Maine Road, Abbey Hey FC are in the same league.
Could it be possible to go heywood st james fc just outside of rochdale
