What are your thoughts on the final day of the Championship season?
I actually watched queen's park Vs Dundee and it was quite a game
Not sure about it being played on a Friday night
Fantastic of course,good friend Sam!!!🏋️♂️
its a shame that queenks park wasnt able to go to the prem... lets hope they can win the playoffs
Alan Shields
Hamilton
South Lanarkshire
Scotland.
I have watched quite a bit
of The Scottish Championship.
I honestly think The
Scottish Championship is a far better watch than our
Premier League in Scotland as honestly it's a lot more competitive & unpredictable.
Myb The Championship is Scotland is dose not have the same quality on the pitch as our Premier League clubs have but what it lacks in quality it makes up for in comparativenes.
Ayr United are my league club & will I am always disappointed if we dont go up I think we have done remarkably well just to stay in
The Championship for so long.
Ayr United started off the season well but I always think it was going to be difficult to stay at the top with bigger clubs than us in the Championship such as
Dundee & Partick Thistle also with the cash Queens Park haveing had lots of money pummed in to them.
I am not hopeful of going up
to The Premier League via
The Playoffs just my gut feeling.
As for my local side
Hamilton Accies I think they will end up playing Falkirk in
the Playoffs I think it will be
two very tricky games but hopefully for the town's economy they can stay up.
I am not originally from
Hamilton so I dont have any real feelings at all towards
The Accies I dont feel any passion for them so any intest in the club comes from what is economically good for the town rather than a love for the club.
I think I.C.T. have had a very disappointing season league wise I would think they would of hoped to be competing for
The Championship of
The Championship.
I think Morton have punched above there weight this season for the size of club they are.
I would think
Patrick Thistle & Queen Park will be disappointed in how there seasons planned out in the end I would think they would of both been looking to be Champions of
The Championship.
I think Arbroath should be content with there season.
Raith Rovers I think should be finishing higher in the table than they have done I remember when they where last in
The Scottish Premier League
& with the size of club they are they should be doing a hell of a lot better to be honest I would say Raith are the great under achievers of
The Championship if I was a
Raith fan I would feel bitterly disappointed.
Cove Rangers for me have it there glass ceiling for the size of club they are I think they will
be as the Spanish would say
a Submarine club up & down constantly between League 2 & The Championship.
I would of liked to have seen
Queens Park go up as
Champions from a historical point of view but
Congratulations to Dundee.
I think over the course of
the season Dundee do deserve to be Champions but honestly I think they will be heading back down to
The Championship next season another Submarine club now a day's in my view.
Keep Safe Sam.
What you have done for European football insights and U.K. football is a football fans delight. You’ve opened up awareness of clubs, especially in the lower leagues. Truly amazing.

as an american your videos are a great insight into the amazing football culture amongst all leagues in europe. thank you
Thanks so much, I'd love to come to the MLS one day!
@@FootyAdventures You should visit Canada as well! Our cup is very interesting this year!
As someone writing this comment from the town this video was made in, it's really interesting to see it reaching people in the US and other places.
😊
Personally I’m an Accies fan, have been all my life. And I think when I say this I speak for all the fans. Thanks for putting good publicity about the club situation and the poor club management via the board
Ever met anyone at Arbroath in one of your videos who wasn't smiling?! I'm English but one side of my family hails from Stranraer so that's where my Scottish loyalties lie, but Arbroath are comfortably my soft spot! Great team and club, great support, great advert for Scottish football. So delighted for them that they stayed up. :)
Great to see wee arbroath staying up 👍💯🏴

I’m a Forest supporter. Great vid here that demonstrates the value of football for the local community.
I’m only half way through the video and I gotta pause to say, Sam you genuinely make such quality content. You make me love football more and more with every video, all the ‘smaller’ clubs deserve just as much as the biggest in the country.
Time and time again I’m left watching your videos wondering why I’ve not visited some of these fantastic grounds.
Thank you for your hard work mate. 😊
Well said.

Missed the opportunity to give thanks to your sterling work all season Sam, but that was due to Bus problems which stopped 100+ Accies fans attending despite having tickets.
We tried to secure replacement buses but had to give up the ghost just after 6pm and we all ended up watching the game in The Bay Horse,Hamilton
The best content in youtube. Keep it up! 🐐
Thanks mate, more to come this weekend!
Oooh! yeh!…….. ……….👍
@@FootyAdventures first of all: you HAVE TO COME TO THE IPL ( ISRAELI PREMIER LEAGUE) beitar Jerusalem game, if you want to see one of the best fan bases in the world, and a FANTASTIC!

Love Ur passion Sam. Totally dedicated .good man .keep going big man
I think I've said this before but what I like about you Sam is that you cover all levels of football and so many different countries.
Great coverage of the Championship final day. A true and honest competitive league. Hope you have thawed out and sorry your run of no 0-0s has been broken, my run was broken at Rob Roy v Kilwinning Rangers last Wednesday.
I enjoy the passion you give Scottish Football. It's refreshing
When the first Covid vaccine was developed and it was reported that it had to be stored in deep freeze (-80 or thereabouts is my recollection), there was a joke doing the rounds that they could just use the stands at Gayfield Park for bulk storage to save spending a fortune on giant freezers😂
First time viewer here, I will check out more for sure, but my initial impression is that you seem genuine, down to earth, no screaming or other "dramatic" antics.
I appreciate that, AND you put emphasis on what's going on in the actual game (+ league) and not "just" the fans.
Don't get me wrong; football without fans is nothing, and I appreciate you talking to some local lads, but a lot of channels seems to focus too much on the fans doing this and that on the stands, to the detriment on the actual match play. I hope that makes sense.
When I go to matches I'm very focused on the actual game and often forget to sing along on chants, which makes me a bad contributor I guess, but that's how I am, game play comes first.
Last point, imagine the bigger clubs giving a youtuber the time of the day to talk to the chairman and players! Good stuff :)
I hoped you were at the match of Queens Park -Dundee, what an incredible match for the win of the championship, amazing atmosphere! I saw it live on TV! I'm a fan of Hamburger SV (great video that you made about us) and Rangers FC, best regards from Germany, great channel 👌
I thought you would've done the queen's Park v dundee fc game would've been a good one 👍 DEE4LIFE 👊🏴🇨🇵

Great vid sam enjoy your weekend
Thanks mate, you too!
Former Candlestick Park in San Franscisco had the reputation of being the coldest ballpark in US especially in August.
1,500 Arbroath STs, although I heard it was 1,300 earlier in the season. Whatever, that's a massive amount for a town of Arbroath's size. It was revealed this week that Accies have only 315 STs, from a town of over 50,000 people. Not just the Old firm effect, many Accies fans are staying away as they are sick of the way the club is being run. Colin McGowan is mainly to blame, the CEO and owner of the stadium company. Some investigative journalist needs to have a look at the shady goings on at this club including the involvement of criminals. That is factual. See Nero Vodka and Scotia Aid, both sponsors.
It's nice when the fans can move around the ground. Freedom!
Absolutely yes.
Lol it is a standing joke with me. 3rd coldest place in the world is the Antarctic, 2nd is Waverley Station Edinburgh but the coldest is Gayfield. Went for a challenge cup match there and Arbroath beat the Pars 3-0 while the wind blew off the sea and it was sleeting a gale too. Never changed my mind in all the years since.
Haha I've heard the waves of the sea once swept over the walls of the stadium and knocked over the corner flag!
Loved the excited squeaks on the near-misses! 🤣
Haha can confirm that wasn't me but someone sat nearby!!
Arbroath was were I was born 👍🏻 Im now living in kent but love getting back up for a visit. Great video mate. Keep it up 👌🏻
Nice video, and, yes, a hellishly cold spot. One thought: forget the 'Smokies' stuff, it's the Lichties! And, yes, I know we've heard even Dick Campbell talking about the Smokies, but he's an outsider, what does he know?🙂

I felt your pain Sam ! I went to 38 matches this season, all in Non-League, and my only 0-0 seen was on the last day ! Stupidly picked a middle of the table team v a team whose play-off place was cemented resting players - DOH ! Schoolboy error ... Excellent video combining elements of the ground, the atmosphere and the action, with one eye very much on the other scores like we all do at this time of year. Your player and chairman interviews were impressive too, you have come a long way young man , keep it going !
Haha we both got a last minute 0-0, gutted!
Thanks very much, appreciate that. Arbroath are always a great club for the access they allow!
Wow!!!Arbroath,which is one of my favourite respective footballing teams daily and ever in this world and other planets,have the most coldest stadium in Scotland and let those respective supporters to be the pitch invaders to only celebrate their team's survival in the Scottish Championship,good friends!!!:-D

My parents grew up in arbroath. My auntie and uncle still live there so always had a soft spot for the team. Awesome video mate hopefully they have a better season next year fantastic achievement for a part time team
Great weather and pitch for a game. Nice enough to play good football and damp enough to put it around.
Tell you what, for the weather Arbroath gets, that pitch looks lush.
Well done to the groundsman.
That would be @boonsbushes0681

Arbroath. The cliffs walk is where its at. N the chippy at the harbour, next to pub infront of the fish market is beyond banging..or was beyond banging,heard it shut
The 5th of May? ... Wow!! Scottish weather is just crazy
Great video. Followed you since you covered my team (Blyth Spartans) playing against Gateshead *spit*
Lol the Arbroath pitch invaders.
Toch mooi om rkc volendam op die foto te zien. Heerlijke 4-1
Every Scotland football stadium is freezing 😂
Back in about 2015 I went to watch us play a post season friendly at Colne. It was early May & I had drunk three cups of bovril by half time in a desperate attempt to keep warm. I couldn't believe anywhere could be so cold in May.
Those fans jumping up and down were crazy. Great to see.
Visited Gayfield on a balmy sunny afternoon in August and by the second half was the coldest I'd ever been at a football match 😂. Great stadium though, always been treated first class there. Pies are banging 🥧

Dumbarton stayed in the championship for 5 years with a lower budget and also part time
Such memories switching ends at ht, just beforehand u go get a hotdog and or a soup get to your new seat for the 2nd half and use your tissue to dry the seat 😂😮 sitting there freezing in December under the lights, no segregation even for dublin derbies, how times have changed... but that weather in may us horrendous 😅
Wanted Queens Park to get direct promotion so much, three defeats in the last three games cost them the promotion.
Can I just say well done to AYR UTD, What a great league it has been
Image Ayr Vs Kilmarnock in promotion and relegation deciders 😅

As a Dundee fan cool we are back were we belong. Arbroath is only the coldest due to the wind chill factor and how close their stadium is to the North Sea. If the wind comes in from the East it is Baltic mate which is what you had to put up with. Glad Arbroath did not go down.
Wow! What a great adventure. At Hamilton Academicals, do they serve the same prawn sandwiches available at grounds in the English Premier League?
The difference in ARBROATHS form from last season is a SHOCK . but sometimes you see seasons like that. Leicester winning the premiership that was one off crazy results that happen.. just think ARBROATH nearly got in the SPL & look now .
It's a shame you didn't cover the Queen's park v Dundee game especially after that Crazy scoreline!
Please keep covering the championship next season
Be sure to get a pair of smokies whenever you're in Arbroath it's arguably the nicest fish around
If the Arbroath weather is this in May,what is it like in January? Great video Sam.
Cant believe in finally one of these😂
wtf is the weather in scotland lol, has the sun ever shone in Abroath?
My uncle is dale hilson
I went last season to Arbroath. Mild day and the tide was out.
Thanks Sam, another top notch video. Arbroath, my home town and team. I watched the game from Australia. Did you get yourself a steak and black pudding pie at the game?

not a patch on balmoor tuesday winters night. that cold the fans have to do a warm up
I would say elgin city in january has to be the coldest ground
You can buy Arbroath FC vodka from Arbikie distillery, half way to Montrose.
Don’t think Arbroath is Scotlands coldest stadium. Try Peterhead, Fraserburgh, Wick and of course Aberdeen. Montrose is pretty cold.
Obviously never been to Cowdenbeath or Methil
You have finally seen a nil nil this season 😂
I thought our best chance of survival was to draw in Arbroath and for cove to get beat. However I still don't see us staying in the championship next season
Excellent video Sam! 👏👏👏
I'm glad you didn't do the obvious and go to Stenny last night but you getting a 0-0 when that was 3-5 must be a wee bit gutting
Don't rub it in 😂😂
@@FootyAdventures Stenny ground being close to your heart as well. It was a cracking game on the tv.
Surprised you weren't at the queen's park v dundee game
it was completely sold out
Inverness fan here. No chance their ground is colder than ours lol

The Tyne and Wear stand at Gateshead FC is the coldest.
I know an Aldershot Town fan and he said he has never been so cold in his life. 😂
@@coniferclose Your pal is spot on. It’s absolutely Baltic 😂
Looks like Falkirk Hamilton play off
What’s the away allocation at Hamiltonian ground btw
It was a warm May evening when I went to Gayfield.
You need an arbroath smokie.

Go to Borough Park workington afc coldest ground I know

what camera and editor program do you use?
The last Scottish Championship match day was the most exciting I can remember with promotion, play off and relegation constantly changing during those last 90 minutes. I watched Queens Park v Dundee on the TV, what a cracker.
Coldest ground in the UK. Have you been to Matlock on a cold windy day in November?
Oh Jeezy Peeps man
Try it in january/feb…march haha. Jeezo
Proper football.
Arbroath 36 0 Bon Accord.
@footy adventures i was born in near leven and East Fife is right on the water i wonder whos closer
gayfield is closer, bayview and the sea are separated by a sea wall and a car park
