Great stuff - having been to the majority of these grounds I can tell you that the pre and post-match bar experience is even more important than the stadium and whilst Chelmsford is blighted by a running track it also has a cracking bar for all supporters. Also that red-fenced terrace at Welling finally re-opened yesterday after being closed for a couple of years, rebuilt with a lot of help from the fans.
i always appreciate the production value you put into your videos on stadiums. nobody else is bold enough to secure the rights for the #1 song from the 17th century hip hop artist lil willy.
The tree at St Albans City was listed and they were not allowed to knock it down, it was too close to one of the goals which breached promotion regulations bizarrely. The club would have knocked it down if they could. Ironically it blew down in a storm a few years later, though it has been speculated the storm was used an excuse for them to take it down. Either way it came down, and they got promoted about 10 years later for their only season in the Conference National
I have a suggestion for further videos - the stadiums of the German “Regionalliga”, the 4th tear of german football. The Regionalliga is divided up in 5 Divisions to 18-20 teams. You can find a bunch of pretty & unique stadiums in this league. 😉
On the topic of Havant and waterloovile. They get pretty good attendance. There the smaller club in the area with Havant being on the outskirts of Pompey so they don’t have a largely one club fanbase. As a Pompey fan if I can’t get to an away game I just go there. It’s pretty good.
7:25 you would be surprised. I used to go Chorley Fc matches. And there are groups of people even at that level who fight at the football. you covered chorley in your national league North video btw
Wonderful as always! Whatever that mascot is at the 3:00 mark, it's the stuff of nightmares! I can't tell whether it's a pig or a sheep but it sent the kids running for cover!
Hey, man. Big fan of the channel. I've seen you like to make baseball parks videos, so I'd like to strongly suggest you to make one of each Mexican baseball leagues (liga Mexicana and Liga del Pacífico). I assure you they'll be very successful. Cheers!
Nice video I am currently working my way through these stadiums (last night I visited Farnborough 13/24) A few extra comments... Eastbourne is called Borough and not United, they also have an Eastbourne Town FC which is lower down the leagues and play at a different venue. Hemel Hemstead have put up an impressive terrace in the derelict area of your photos. This includes a read wall with a scoreboard. Dartford is my favourite and along with the environmental statement the have a large wooden man holding up the roof inside the stadium which is pretty cool
Dulwich hamlets record attendance was at the old ground before it got completely rebuilt in the early 90s. Old ground was much bigger and pretty much on the same site. It’s a Famous old club getting some big attendances for this level of football
When our narrator was telling us about the roof at Princes Park for Dartford FC I recoiled in disgust because usually I'm opposed to all things "green" but when we could see inside the stadium I had to admit it looked really good! One of my favourite little stadiums I've seen.
@Jack Adams did you really not know that I meant the environmental agenda with all the global warming silliness? I furthermore put the word green in quotes. Did you seriously not get that? How old are you? edit: when a poster is making a self effacing joke it is rather classless and weak to use it as opportunity to try and insult them. Your generation needs to learn how to be men, find some dignity start there.
The running track at Chelmsford is currently being re-laid so it's not really that visible at the moment. It's a good stadium really, great bar and good food.
Ok, where do I start? as a kid I lived in Worthing, my auntie lived in the road opposite to the ground so i used to cycle to her house, leave my bike there go and watch the game then back to her place for a cuppa of tea and a cake, then cycle back home. When i returned home following a short career in the Royal navy, I took the whistle and moved even closer to the ground, I took the whistle up and started referring at local park level, I was lucky to have three cup finals as a linesman all played at Woodside road. When I moved back to Wales, I also had my leaving party on the grandstand. These were the days when Worthing played in the Diordoira League. I am so pleased to see they have moved up, shame about the plastic pitch
Twerton Park also spent a few years as the home ground of Bristol Rovers FC, and as such is the only ground in that league to have hosted League Football.
@@AmirBrooks Glanford Park and Plainmoor* as well, with Scunthorpe and Torquay* going down. Joined possibly by the Northolme (Gainsborough) depending on play-offs. *Torquay could stay up, but it'll be a tall order. They'd have to beat Wrexham and hope other results are in their favour. (as of 26/4/23)
accessible TREES with Branches in or very close to stands are necessary for those once in a generation matches . Bournemouth once had a row of bloody Poplar Trees which aren’t exactly user friendly unless you’re a Chimp or a Koala 👍
3:25 - To a Canadian or yank used to areas full of mobile homes, that looks normal. They can be moved and placed anywhere, and are cheaper than building a permanent house. Living in them sucks, I know from experience.
I support a team who are four divisions below the football league, we don't have segregation in our league. I've only ever seen segregation twice at this level or slightly higher, and that was at Bromley's Hayes Lane and Stonebridge Road. Other than on those two occasions, fans are usually allowed to goal behind whichever goal their team are shooting at
In terms of Dulwich Hamlet they don't own the ground and a few years ago the owners wanted to sell the ground with Dulwich having to ground share with a neighbouring club. The owners are going ahead with putting housing on the ground but in return they will help finance the building of a new ground adjacent to the present stadium with a long long lease.
you should have waited for this one as there some new teams coming to the league such as yeovil and aveley also there is no segregation in the 6th tier but it has kicked off at ebbsfleet when welling played them and ebbsfleet missed a penalty in the 101st minute
St Albans were NOT allowed to cut down the tree at the time as though deseased did have a preservarion order on it, they had to wait for it to die naturally
There is no border between north and south England. "Head south of the border" is not applicable. The only borders are Scotland and Wales. Only Wales has teams playing in English National League, so let's discount that as it is west. The opening tagline should be: "Let's head south"
Bath isn't that far from Bristol even if they are different counties theses days they used to both be in Avon. I didn't know Bristol City Women play there; but I do know the other Bristol team, rovers, used to play there, the guys that is.. because that's how I came to visit the ground.
Ridiculous Chelmsford is always in this league or worst. We’re a city nearly the size of Preston, Burnley and Blackburn etc let alone Southend and Colchester, yet we’re always down in non-league lol
@@mountaingoat3012 what 😭 the south is just as big for footballers. Everyone around here loves it and is as talented. It’s only because th northern teams got a head start 100 years ago they got richer and could keep the talent for decades after. The England team is pretty evenly split between the north and the south
@@jakeclough8090 when you say south, you mean London. Geographical, East Anglia is not blessed with top talent as the only regional clubs in the 92 club are Norwich, Luton, Ipswich, Peterborough, Cambridge and Colchester which don’t attract talent either.
@@mountaingoat3012 Chelmsford isn't in East Anglia, it's in the East of England along with the rest of Essex (though tbf the North probably should be considered East Anglia). It's a pretty well-integrated commuter city and has far more in common with suburban middle-class London than anywhere else.
This league may well need fan segregation in coming season re Yeovil Town because Glovers may have sunk from meeting Leeds Utd or Forest but are now in with ALL their main rivals in 3 directions in Weymouth , Bath City & 1st time for years the other ‘big ‘ town in Somerset- Taunton Town. With enough Rough Cider it should be quite exciting …

6:19 Just so you know, Eastbourne United play in a lower league. This is Eastbourne Borough
2:59 Thats a picture of Bath's Twerton Park, Chippenham's main rivals as well. This could cause an international incident.
7:25 you would be surprised. I used to go Chorley Fc matches. And there are groups of people even at that level who fight at the football. you covered chorley in your national league North video btw
This is authentic football. Friendly, welcoming, affordable. A light year from the PL.

There used to be an Eastbourne United, but they merged with ShinewaterAssociation in 2003 and now play as Eastbourne UA
I like how Eastbourne has the baby pitch growing next to it's adult Mama pitch.

They are a Concrete Jungle (Specials reference!).
Can you do Canadian premier league grounds… or maybe take a look at some lower leagues in the USA or Northern Ireland
Clarence park St Albans is the best stadium so full of character and creates such a brilliant atmosphere

I remember the old ground could see the floodlights from my bedroom and here the crowd.

The little blue stand on the left at 0:37 was built then as they needed away seating for football league games I believe

Avon only existed as a county for 20-odd years, same as Hereford & Worcestershire and Cleveland as well as Rutland being part of Leics
6:15 it’s Eastbourne BOROUGH, not United..🤦🏻♂️ Eastbourne has three teams, Eastbourne Borough, Eastbourne Town and Eastbourne United.
Certain matches will have rivalries and such is the culture in the UK people will resort to violence. So an away end is still needed.
