We showcase the grounds of the National League North, part of English Football's 6th tier. They are actually better than you might expect from 6th tier grounds. Thanks for watching!
True fact about Chester FC. Their geographic location nearly got them into trouble, as technically most of the seating is in Wales, and there were times during the pandemic when England & Wales had different rules regarding events. Wales still hasn’t legalised large gatherings, but England had, so the club were investigated when thousands of fans “had a gathering”.
he used the google maps boundary on the video, is there another boundary drawn somewhere because how can there be any debate of how much of the stadium is in Wales? Not most of the seating, ALL of the seating. All of the stadium apart from a slither of the clubhouse.
Some of these clubs have played further up the ladder and have had some interesting histories. For example in 1972 Hereford knocked Newcastle United out of the FA Cup and this occurred at the mentioned Edgar Street.
Darlo put 7 past Chelsea in the 1958 fa cup fourth round. (Admittedly that 7 was across 2 games, the initial 3-3 draw and the 4-1 replay victory but still)
@@bionicgeekgrrl Replaced in the league by Wigan Athletic via the re-election process in 1978 - they had been Division 4 champions in 1972/73. Subsequently won NPL in 92/93 and Conf North in 2004/5 and 2009/10, spent a good few years in the Conference too.
8:13 - Gloucester City are interesting because they have only just returned to that stadium in December 2020 after playing 15 miles away in a different town for 13 years after flooding in 2007 left the ground almost 8 feet under water. A combination of a lack of insurance due to previous flooding - this being the third time in seventeen years - and contamination by sewage water, the club had no choice but to abandon the ground
yes probably the latter :) I really like the Hereford United stadium and the Buxton one for the peak of the peaks of the Peak District in the background. King's Lynn was pretty good too.
Love your vids and humour. Hoping to do my 23rd ground in the division next week let down by the conference South this weekend arrived at Hungerford to find the game off despite no advertised pitch inspection after a three and a half hour drive!
I love this channel, found it through your Super (rugby) League video, come on Wigan. I support my hometown Chorley who are in this league, thanks for the video!
Great to see 'The Walks' featured. I enjoy the atmosphere more at some of these smaller stadiums with terracing, rather than at the larger all seater sterile arenas.
Loved Edgar Street! Such character behind it. The two tiers is cool and curved stand sets it apart from the rest! Nice go see Hereford’s phoenix club on the up again
Whilst the 2 ends form relatively conventional stands for a stadium of it era, the Len Weston stand actual curves in toward the centre as it follows the course of the road at its rear not the straight line of the pitch in front. Edgar Street was also the only stadium regularly outside the top tier of English football to have 2 two-tier stands until 1990's. At the time a good investment of the money they got from the council when road widening led to the destruction of the stand's predecessor.
I'm originally from Brackley Town and the stadium has changed so much since I last went to watch them. I am old enough to remember when they celebrated getting their flood lights in 1988.
Totally disagree with a lot you say in the video, but it was well put and I really enjoyed it! Maybe a generation gap between us but I love Kiddermister’s ground. In years time when people have forgotten what an “old, traditional English stadium” looked like, you can just direct them straight to Kiddie as their place still has a lot of life in her yet 💪
AFC Telford United's stadium New Bucks Head is called that because the old stadium (which was on the same site as the new one) was called The Bucks head, which was also the name of a pub attached to the ground. The clubs nickname is the Bucks! The pub was still there when the new ground was built but unfortunately in recent times it has now been converted into a dominoes pizza! Maybe we should change the name of the stadium to dominoes Park or something lol
I've spent a lot of time in victory park as Chorley are my second team brilliant stadium and an amazing club. I've also been to AFC Fylde in the away end and it's not a good day out hahaha
Remember playing The Manager in the early 90's on Amiga. Always had 3-4 teams. Always Telford and Altrincham because I thought their names sounded cool. And of course my favorite team West Ham
Can you please do a video on ASUN basketball arenas,I’m a big fan of your channel because I like learning about all of these different stadiums so why would I not be subbed to you,P.S your my fav CZcams channel
I agree that Fylde's ground is the best, but the New Bucks Head and the Jakemans stadium don't look too shabby. Although Leamington's ground is closest to me, I still can't figure out why they call it the New Windmill ground, when their nickname is the Brakes. If they get round to building a new stadium, the three examples mentioned previously could be used as suitable templates. Thanks for highlighting the National League North - on to the National League South.
The original Windmill Ground, was situated next to The Windmill pub (still there). A windmill itself stood until 1968 in what is now the pub’s car park. The reference to The Brakes is a nod to Lockheed whose factory was opposite, at the time they produced brake parts for the automotive industry.
Enjoyed that very much, love the humour. 23 out of 24 names pronounced correctly 👏 (it’s ‘Lemmington’ not ‘Leamington’), though you lose half a mark for ‘Pederborough’ - which has unfortunate connotations!
It's called New Bucks Head because it was built on the site of the original Bucks Head. It was called the Bucks Head after the pub virtually outside the ground.
Would like to just make a correction. Boston did not own the stadium they previously played at. They paid a very high rent. The landlords also wanted them to move out say they could sell the land. It was in the interests of Boston to build their own stadium. They can now look to make some progress as a club, something that wasn't really possible before.
Brilliant, looking forward to seeing it. They are all very different in that league and hopefully Finn Harps can finally finish their new stadium soon 🙄
4 league tiers of professional teams above this league, plus the 5th tier (national league). There are loads of tiers below 6th as well as every town will have small teams, which is the real root of the game.
The 6th Teir... Really?!?!?!? That's a lot of little Stadiums! BTW, Did you know there are 5 Professional Soccer Leagues in North America? Just a thought! ;-)
Although Boston's new ground has better facilities, I still prefer the old York Street ground. Fantastic little football ground right in the town centre, such a shame we had to lose it.
Its featured, its not been called haig avenue since 2012. Though like the Coventry stadium, the locals will still call it by the original name (in the case of Coventry that'd be ricoh arena). Visited haig avenue many many years ago as my mums side of the family all live there.
Yeah I watch them sometimes and also play for one of their youth teams and it's reeks of Weetabix I know why it's because there is a Weetabix factory near the stadium
Of the three leagues at Tier 7, two consist of clubs from the south of England. Under the present system, the Northern Premier League provides only 2 of the 8 teams promoted to the National League. The rest will almost certainly all be based south of Birmingham. This has resulted in the north/south divide at Tier 6 shifting gradually southwards.
Further to Richard`s answer, there are simply far more clubs in the south of England. The National League could probably do with a Midland division too.
Giant killers Spartans, the team no "big" club wanted to be drawn away against in the FA Cup, and to me, Chester means £300,000 for well over 300 goals and so much success at Anfield. Football economics were crazy if you had a manager who knew what he was doing, Keegan goes to Hamburg for £500,000 and Bob Paisley snaps up Dalglish for £440,000, so instead of the wheels coming off, the side got even better.
Lived in Leamington for a year once. It was the year they got promoted up to this league. Anyway, a big fuck you for not wanting to talk about them :) Supposedly the same stadium as Fylde is getting built for them, that process has been ongoing for a long time already.
As a Stourbridge fan since 1986 I have been to most of these grounds. Kidderminster has the best food in England and as a Stourbridge fan that bloody kills me to say it. On a negative note you don't have much knowledge on these grounds or teams.
It is sad that some these clubs were in the top tiers of the English leagues it makes me sad for their fans but I guess that is just the way it is. With the cost of attending games people could do worse than to go follow their local 'Non-league" team. I am sure they would appreciate your support.
The fact that thousands of people (including myself) still go to watch matches in the SIXTH TIER is one of the best things about English football
Let’s not forget that the clubs in the National Leagues North and South sit 117th to 139th in our pyramid
I think it would be 117 to 164 (48 teams combined between them)
24 teams (I thought there were 22) but they all sit at level six
@@jamesgill3759 but there's two divisions in that tier hence 48 teams

The greatest socialist hoax of all time. It died a death, once people 'used it' to get rid of three World leaders the Woke disapproved of. We know.
