What's the best bargain in British non league football???
I'm going to Dumbarton at the weekend do you want to come and try something different so it's going to have fun
Warrington town fc
Ticket: £3:00
Can of pop:1:00
Pie 2:50
Also can pay at gate
Oh sorry my mistake that is £3:00 for kids 8:00 pound for adults
I would really recommend going to watch Wrexham at the racecourse against Stockport
Pickering town fc has some good deals free for under 16s £8 for adults and £5 for pensioners
That bloke Billy had so much pride taking you around. You could hear it in his voice how proud he was about the floodlights. Non league means more to people. Its not in football to be a business. Loved this
Did ya notice him locking the door taking out the key like we weren’t going hyem th neet 🤣
Smashing video, keep ones like these up. Hard to beat lower leagues and non league. The new Spurs and West Ham's stadiums are a disgrace. This is "proper football"
As is the new Hampden, especially when you consider the legendary stadium it replaced.
I absolutely love the fact that Sam does a hell of a great job showcasing the culture, passion and love for each club across the continent, regardless of which tier / league these clubs play in.
Brilliant Sam. Love your continuing coverage of the non-league teams. West of Scotland league has a better standard of football from top to bottom than the Lowland League imo, despite being a tier lower.
This has to be one of your best videos. Please more of this. I'd personally take the pure history of smaller clubs over the new stadium clubs nowadays!
Great coverage of the Scottish juniors 👍🏻
Top class video Sam. Was a pleasure to have you down at meadow park and the pleasure to talk to you. Take care 👍🔵⚪️
I loved it! Got a great welcome so thanks for that. Can't wait to come back one day soon!
@@FootyAdventures will give you a message about medda vics game. Will be a good one 👍
@@FootyAdventures u should go to a whitletts vics game
Incredible presentation! I love how you went into more of the history of the club and chatting with the people who make the club so special
This is incredible, gotta love how football's all over Scotland. So much passion in the lower leagues as well.
I follow Caracas FC in Venezuela. Your £20 would go a long way here! Tickets for the home terrace are $2, with beers going for $1 each.
"The Medda" my favourite Junior side. Lived in Irvine before moving to NZ in 1974. Watched "The Medda" win the junior Cup in 73 against Cambuslang Rangers, went to all three games at Hampden.
Fooking this channel makes me fall in love with football so much! Thank you
Fabulous non-league club with a great set up. Loves these lower league/non-league videos.
What a friendly club/ You went to watch a game and ended up a bit of a v.i.p. For what you spent it's a good night out, for what you spent out of your budget you can take in 2 games
This years Marymass Derby will be contested for the 101st time and be played at Victoria Park. They tend to attract crowds between 700/1000 but it’s usually dependent on weather. Last year, both teams competed on the Friday night then Meadow played a 2nd round Scottish cup match on the Saturday
Very enjoyable vlog Sam, the folk who volunteer their services are so important in keeping these clubs with such limited resources ticking over.
My dad used to take me as a kid the the junior cup finals at Hampden, and they drew very impressive crowds in those days.
Great video. Some great people at medda and fair play to you going there during the Champions League games. Great support they took to Easter Road that day. Hopefully more teams at that level get their SFA licence to compete in the Scottish Cup, although floodlights are expensive.
We have got the SFA license Paulo
Well done on passing the 100,000 - amazing but deserved Sam. I love the way you continue to dig out really interesting things most people just don't know!
Great channel! As a brit living in Aus I cant get enough of these videos. What football is all about
Another great video, well done Sami always enjoy watching your cheerful self, even when it's bucketing doon. :)
Good video good too see you getting recognized at clubs now
Sam thank you for highlighting the "wee" clubs in Scotland. There are some absolutely belting derbies at this level as many have said. For me Medda v Irvine Victoria for the Marymass derby tops the lot though. Over the years it's had the lot, who can forget Vernon's drop ball gate or crowd misbehaviour. If your planning a return get yourself up here in August.
Brilliant Video as always Sam👍👍Really enjoying these videos lately😁
Just found this channel and am now obsessed. Terrific video.
love the videos, your passion is second to none!
Loving the vids keep it up
Great video Sam your channel really enhances my wider football knowledge. One of the top football vloggers on my opinion covering the football pyramid. Keep it up mate!!!!
Great video and excellent insight as to how a Scottish non league team works. Behind the scenes was magnificent with lots of cogs working together to make it work - so well done Sam for letting us see this and congratulations to Irvine Meadow XI for such a well run wee club.
I'll tell you what I didn't like though, the neanderthal who was shouting & abusing the linesman, bang out of order. Well done to the linesman, you couldn't pay me enough to do that job and the sooner that football does something about that kind of behaviour the better, there were kids present. I've witnessed a rare similar event at a same kind of standard rugby match and the perpetrator was told to leave - then was escorted out the gate and off site.
I am not a footy fan at all but man I love watching your vids as I love everything you do and your enthusiasm is amazing thanks
I love the way that (a) that supporter recognised you on arrival and called you by first name and (b) you kept that bit in. 👍
Loving your passion for the game mate. Keep up the good work.
Legendary! Loved this video
Quality Sam...👏👏👏👏 non league football
Pleasure talking to you last nyt mate. Always welcome to take in a game at Blair Park.
Ross the Hurlford Kitman
If ur ever in the south (England) should come down to fareham town fc. Great vid keep it up
A refreshing change from the PL/Champions League saturation coverage on tv. Ok, the standard is not as high as the elite leagues but you might get to see someone who gets signed by a big club, or former professionals playing for enjoyment more than anything else. The late Martin Peters played for Gorleston F.C. in Norfolk. Non-league teams have their own history and the dedication of people helping run them is to be admired. If I'd paid £60+ for a PL game which was a dull 0-0 draw I'd feel cheated but non-league is a great night out with your mates and it's affordable. Fascinating video. Thanks.
Great to see you back in Ayrshire Sam. Loved the video, keep them coming. KTID
Sam, superb video that I just stumbled across and a brilliant example of the friendliness of non league football. I go to a lot of English non league football in and around the West Midlands following Darlaston Town 1874 FC playing in Midland Football League Div1 at step 5. If you are ever in the West Midlands give me a shout. Now following your Chanel so keep up the great content.All the best Steve 👍
Amazing vid and love your content bro, keep up
fell in love with non league football few seasons ago. always went to sunderland matches and my son has a season card at middlesbrough but we started going to watch our local team Thornaby fc who play in northern league div 1 and are currently 3rd top. They only get crowds of about 300 but its a great atmosphere, Its only £7 adults and under 16s are free. Nice food in the cafe and best of all you can watch the match with a nice cold pint. The football is old school, tackles fly in left right and centre and your that close to pitch you hear every word players and managers say. Why anyone wants to be a ref or linesman in non league is anyones guess. They dont half get some stick off the players, managers and crowd. If thornaby and middlesbrough are both away we will often go to watch other local non league clubs. Highly reccommend going to watch your local non league team
UTB I live in middlesborough also thornaby not a bad watch
Great video, Sam. XI is roman numerals for 11 (I think) so 11 players.
Brilliant work again Sam!. ON TO 100K!!!
First ever football match with my dad when I was about 2 or 3, class video Sam! You should definitely try and get to the local Derby against Irvine Victoria
As much as I love european nights & old firms at celtic park, there's something special about following non league or even just lower league scottish teams. Something great about knowing everybody in the stands, the players knowing your names, the passion for the club that's not tied to any sort of success.
I 100% agree with this. There's something different about following non-league teams. You feel a sense of pride about the floodlights or the fence, or a wee shelter that's built almost like a stand. You know the players and see them about the town. My team went bust nearly a decade ago and I've not really got into football as much since then.
Class . Junior football is great watch . A lot fight is these boys and a good standard of football . Come to Dundee to see some good junior football.
I follow my local non league team Rugby Town home and away. the cost of travel, my match entry and a round of drinks for my mates costs less than a ticket for most football league games. it’s also great to visit new grounds in towns I’ve never been to. the football isn’t always the best but we always have a good day out
Good to see you at Irvine meadow nice one bro
Great video again well done to you and all the best
love this mate keep it up ! you should maybe go to a children's tournament could you imagine the level of football!
Great video
You wouldnt get this welcome at an EPL game, I love lower league football. You feel much more like part of the club than top level clubs. More of these videos please, nice work.
As much as I enjoy the Rangers videos, the junior stuff is always special. Grew up across the road from Kello Rovers. Never a dull game at that level.
Not far till 100k now mate. Much deserved.
Well done mate supporting local football teams from Rory Australia 🇦🇺
Try smaller clubs like craigmark (dalmellington) muirkurk and so many more. The work behind the scenes at then are completely different too . Great video
Love how you're jumper matched the at hurlford
Hi mate I’m a Killie fan I love watching your videos keep up the great work
Get yourself off to the next Kilbirnie V Beith game Sam.............wonderful atmosphere !!!!
5:58 bit awkward that one Sam🤣🤣🤣
I was born in Chorley and lived there for a lot of my life, and the ticket prices for my age at Chorley are only a fiver! Absolute bargain, going to a game this coming Tuesday, obviously you've done a few videos with Chorley so you'll know all about them!
When I saw your thumbnail, I really thought you did go to Sutton Coldfield Town FC! Very similar looking main stand to Irvine Meadows.
"You've got the Jules Rimet there..... still gleaming..." - Oh dear Sam! 😳 🤦🏻♂️
I love these videos, non league football is elite
My wee town got mentioned when you got food we have a junior team as well should come here and take a look
Decent little ground, big Grandstand 💪👍
Another great video ever thought of doing Monaco ground
Keep up the good content Sam
Definitely got your moneys worth, some places would have you pay for a tour like that 😏
That is a cracking little ground. Non league is the place to be, so much better than the professional game. Apart from if you want loud atmosphere.
As an English footie fan the pies always look amazing in Scotland.
Non-league is the heart and soul of football
Have you done welsh grounds yet we got welsh premier league plus Cardiff as u probably no sorry. Great channel I love it
love vids
I went to see Jeanfield Swifts play terribly and get pumped from a team the tier below them on a cold and wet night; but, not once did I feel any regrets for not sitting in the warmth of the house to watch the telly. Live football wins every time.
I live on the south coast of England but have some great friends in Irvine. Most of them wouldn't set foot in Medda Park unless the Vics were playing there 🤣🤣🤣
One of the teams local to me, Littlehampton Town, have just made it to the final of the F.A. Vase and are expecting to take at least 7000 to Wembley for the final in May
Hey Footy Adventures is kelty hearts top of the league table?
Well done mate was a pleasure to meet you and be in the video
I find the smaller clubs give off better vibes, efl 1, 2 and non league, everything means so much more
Thank you for inspiring me and my dad to do this. We're going to Alloa vs Clyde tomorrow for £22
Love the video please can you do Dagenham and Redbridge would love that video
You should go to matlock town fc,home game,our stadium has a capacity of around 2,500 people,cheap,good choice of snacks and drinks,one main stand right next to the player tunnel,beautiful pitch,hope to see you there one day
What do you film with btw?
I saw an article on Fort William FC, in particular the difficulties they are having, even fielding a team. Would you consider going up there? Cheers

Scotland.
Most Stadium's in The English Premier League are as quite as a library with the exception of
Anfield , Goodison Park &
Saint James Park.
Hurlford United should be on a cookery programme because all they are good at is cooking the books.
Respect to Meadow from
a Pollok fan.
Sam great video shows again how much you can save watching non league football and still get to see a good game
Sam have you ever been to Chelmsley Town here in Solihull West Midlands the home of Troy Deeney
Jersey bulls, I think it’s £6 although obviously you need to factor in getting there from the mainland 😬. Went there last year, bought a programme and a few days later the guy who sold me the programme (who I met for about 15 seconds) recognised me in Waitrose and asked me if I enjoyed the game 😬. Don’t get that in the premier league!
You should come to Dublin!
Try out Radcliffe Borough it’s close to where I live and it’s a bit of fun £10 entry but the food is very nice and the people there are nice
Bloody hell I love football sometimes
Come to Afc Sudbury in Suffolk
Been watching the vids for ages you should go to barnsley it is filled with history
Great video, shame the challenge didn't work out for you though.
I work in the kitchen at medda. £1.70 sausage rolls 😁
and partial to one or two am I of a Saturday afternoon 😀
Brilliant video mate! Was a pleasure too talk/ meet you! Welcome back to medda park anytime🔵⚪️🔵
Legend mate! It was great to chat to everyone down at the Medda. Loved my night there and can't wait to come back!
@@FootyAdventures The X1 was when Irvine Celtic owned the ground and the Meadow used the ground for home games and they named themselves the Meadow X1 named after the name of the ground and let people they were not Irvine Celtic. When Celtic folded the Meadow took on the ground and changed their name to Irvine Meadow X1.
My local team is playing in the fa trophy final at Wembley on 22 may
I hope you go to portugal next week because theres a big game next sunday sporting vs benfica biggest derby in portugal
Amazing channel, im glad i found you, you shoud visit Bulgaria for a cheap futball experience :)
Should come to pollok
I really look forward to your non league videos as for me the capture the meaning of what going to the football is about. Yes the standard is not that great but for £20, £8 entrance fee is Dan good value. I was charged £60 for a Man City ticket and £4.50 for a cup of tea. 😢still great value and the fans are brilliant.
P.S. what do you think of the 60 minutes for a game trial that is meant to be starting?
Costs me £12 for the Edinburgh darby! (Student)
@@josholiver433 that’s good value. To be fair it was champions league but £60! What happened to football for the working class man?
60 mins for a game? Whats that all about?!
@@alexhart4763 there was someone on sky sports saying FA are looking at lowering game times in lower non league to just 60 minutes.
@@ronmac9522 oh I see. Sounds like another terrible idea
Irvine is no a village, it is one of the biggest town's population wise in Scotland, with around 34'000. It is surprising to me, they don't have a team in the SFL. Hopefully Meadow or Vics can get there within the next 5/7 years.
