    Had a look on Google Earth as I was curious - the pitch has an elevation of 249 metres at one end and 244 metres at the other. A 5 metre drop over 100 metres is absolutely mental. You can zoom in to pitch-level on Google Earth and it's a proper slope!
    For perspective, it's actually steeper than any section of mainline railway in the UK. Too steep for our trains - perfect for football!

      It’s not a football pitch. It’s a bloody ski jump.

    I laughed that Alfie couldn't grasp how they were the second oldest club but had the oldest stadium.

    Mad respect to you for not editing out the part where your snot flies out of your nose. Wonderful stuff. 😊

    Alfie you got shafted mate! I all seriousness, I want to go here myself one day. Hallam FC and Sheffield FC should be a pilgrimage for all football fans

    • @drunkenhobo8020
      @drunkenhobo8020 Před 6 měsíci +6

      There should be a list of must-do football experiences in the UK. I'd vote for Arbroath at home in the middle of winter. Dark, cold, windy and the refreshing feel of the spray off the North Sea.

    So didn’t you venture into the bar where in the entrance you’d have seen a replica of the oldest football trophy in the world (the original is priceless and once featured on Antiques Roadshow so locked away) which was won by Hallam F.C

    Pausing the video at 9.31 is absolutely hilarious. Incredible cinematography, a milestone in British Comedy. Bravo.

  • @calumbird6639
    @calumbird6639 Před 6 měsíci +5

    You need to come to Maidenhead Uniteds York Road before we move grounds. The olldest continuously used football ground in the world by the same club. There is a lot of history and at the moment there is a lot of disagreement about the ground move and petition against the council for not allowing the move.

    The top goal line is in line with the bottom crossbar its so slanted, also Daniel Pudil was playing for the hammer and pincers Sunday team, which is a pub team round the corner before he played for Hallam. He played an game for them that the Hallam chairman or manager was watching (cant remember which) and was asked if he wanted to play for Hallam.

      Great Yarmouth Town's Wellesley Grandstand was completed in 1892. The Grade II listed structure has a brick ground floor below a timber roof and is recorded by Historic England as "possibly the earliest football grandstand surviving in England"

    Would of thought they would level out the pitch, that’s horrendous! That’s a big incline, definitely gives the advantage to the team going down hill 2nd half.

    Sheffield has the oldest football team in the world (Sheffield FC), the oldest football stadium (Hallam FC), and both teams play in the oldest football tournament (the Rules Derby). All recognized by the FA, UEFA, and FIFA with Pele paying tribute to them multiple times. Meanwhile the University of Cambridge has a statue in a Cambridge park claiming they invented Football because obviously it was invented by toffs in top hats not those damn working class ruffians!
