Unironically...Z, I think you and your brother could sell this concept as a series to something like HBO or Netflix just based off these first 3 episodes alone. Incredible, incredible stuff!
Yes! Now CBS or NBC would also work as they have Champions, EFL and EPL respectively. ESPN also could be an option. Like the 30/30 series. Could also ask Ryan and Rob. Maybe FX / Disney would be interested. 🖖🏻
This is genuinely better than a lot of TV-quality stuff I've seen, fantastic script and production, not to mention stunning visuals. Well done Z, and everyone else.
Someone like Netflix better make a call, and get on helping to make this - but of course let Z and his team have the creative freedom, cause they’re doing a damn good job
Hey Zealand, it was crazy to meet you at the Kopenhagen Stadium at halftime. It was so weird to be on holiday in Denmark from the Netherlands and look to the left of me and see you in the row next to me. It was great to talk to you for a bit at halftime and to some of the fans of this great team!! I couldnt wait for this video (or should I say documentary because of the amazing quallity) to come out since that game. Thank you for taking some time to talk to me, and if our paths cross again ill buy you a beer!
These 'Hidden Grounds' vids are perfect. I had to make subtitles for the Faroe episode to share my friends, everyone deserves to see these adventures. Should I try making subtitles for this episode?
The production value of these videos in particular this one and the Faroe Islands are genuinely unbelievable, watched Zealand since the Bate Borisov days and what’s he’s done with the channel is a story in itself. Genuine guy who deserves all the success he’s getting
May this series of videos continues, because its just fantastic . The idea , the prodution , the quality , everything. Just for now waiting for the video to go public and watch , hopefully , a great video !
I don’t think I’ve ever commented on a TH-cam video before but I felt the need to come here to say that was beautiful and I loved every second of it. Incredible that such a small team of people were involved in putting it together. Really well done.
Dude, the quality of these videos is fantastic, like it's 50 fulltime people working on them. I really hope you can continue doing them. Awesome job from you and Adler.
Always have a soft spot for the FM videos Z, but this type of content is up there with the best of the best on the platform. All of these so far have given me strong Copa90 vibes, in the best way. Really looking forward to seeing more of these going forwards.
The thumbnail doesn’t do this video justice because wow. This was spectacularly made and had me hooked for the entire 46 minutes, which is a rarity nowadays. I hope this video gets the love from the algorithm it deserves in the future.
This is what makes football the biggest and best sport in the world. The quality of these videos are, as others have said, better than the vast majority of stuff you will find on TV. Excellent work Ze, keep it up.
The quality of this production and the story behind this is absolutely amazing, thanks Zealand, if it wasn’t for you people like us would never get the opportunity to see the whole and real story behind Gibraltar 🤘🏽
Absolutely what football should be about. A working person's sport with belief, drive and dreams.... without money as it touches our hearts as kids playing jumpers for goalposts. This is a wonderful tale told by a storyteller that deserves a higher stage than TH-cam (sorry, but this deserves national TV coverage). The belief and dreams of real football lovers is captured in this video. I truly believe that players of FM should set their hearts on this game, as we all have a local connection to a team in our lifetimes we could wish to take to in our lifetimes and have that little blink of a moment of 'just imagine'. Anyway, enough said.... A real moment of magic caught in this video. I've always said Zealand is destined for football above FM... Great journalism.
Unbelievable video this Z, as someone who's watched your content for a while. I don't usually comment but love your FM videos. But this series is something really special and unique to you as a creator. And something any major TV streaming service like Amazon, apple, netflix would be proud of. Keep doing them! They are brilliant! Your presentation and your brother's production / camera work makes for a brilliant combo! As For Bruno's Magpies. This is an good bit of publicity for their amazing achievement. Well done. You should be proud!
This is absolutely phenomenal! The story, the camera work, the editing, the narration. This, alongside your Faroe Islands video is easily your best work!
I really love these videos, they’re absolutely great with such good quality! Only problem is that i don’t think the thumbnail reflect that very well. It doesn’t look like the top production video that it is, which is a shame cus I think many might not watch it because of it
our son put me onto this today . i enjoy the Scottish lads’ channel whom visited every semi pro & pro ground in Scotland & various other creators whom checkout English league grounds , disused ones etc. nipper tells me you visit Faeroe Islands which sealed my interest - will find that after this because Faeroe Islands beating Austria in a WC or Euro Qualifying round - featuring their Goalie whose mum insisted he wore the hat she’d knitted him re - ignited ‘pub team’ lore for a new generation in the 1990s across Europe . 😁👍
Quite possibly one of the very best videos youtube has ever had on its site. Incredibly excellent work to all involved. And that’s the thing with football. You’ve barely scratched the surface of the stories that are yet to be told. Well done mate
This series of films are sick, mate! Great stuff. Production values are off the charts. I'm sure one of the British broadcasters would snap these up in a heartbeat. Thanks.
The storytelling, narration, and the way the people involved open up to Zealand make this a brilliant series. This might be my favorite Hidden Grounds video yet, as it sent me on a google spiral, and it seems like every team on Gibraltar is incredibly interesting in its own way. There's a team that got permission from Matt Busby for example to name themselves Manchester United (now called Manchester 62). Can't wait for the next installment in this series
Every one of the Hidden Grounds episodes is amazing. Great scripts, photography and editing. Better than anything comparable on mainstream tv or streaming services. Quality. Well done to the whole team.
Absolutely superb just like the two previous episodes. It’s so similar to the series adventures in golf and would hope you can get a similar level sponsor that they have to support future stories
Man, what a video. Absolutely beautiful. The story is amazing, the photography, the production, all of it; it goes straight to the heart. I'm really proud of being your suscriber and getting to see your work. Keep doing great Z.
Great stuff. As an American the world of football has been foreign to me for too long, and learning about how much all these clubs mean to their communities, no matter how small, has been inspiring. Thank you for sharing the story of Bruno's.
Such a good video, this series overall is really unique and captivating. Should be on Netflix or Prime, that good! Great stuff Z, you’ve earned yourself some Turtles bro!
By far the number 1 video I looked forward to since summer and genuily cant wait for the next european qualifying rounds so you can film these incredible stories in incredible places again. If I wouldnt see these youtube symbols, I would think this is 100% a documentary made by state funding. Totally lost the understanding of time while watching this and just so happy to listen to you, learn more about the country and club and all that in suuuuuch a pleasing video for the eye. Great job Shannon Brothers, never stop producing these
This was OUTSTANDING!!! I was legit sad it ended. I was all in for MORE!! You're absolutely on to something with this series!! Each episode just gets better. STANDING OVATION FROM THE HOME END 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Everything about this video is fantastic. Anthony Bourdain vibes can only be a good thing. I rarely comment on videos, but you've set a new bar here. As someone else said, it's better than some TV/Netflix stuff I've seen. Well done to everyone involved!
Unironically...Z, I think you and your brother could sell this concept as a series to something like HBO or Netflix just based off these first 3 episodes alone. Incredible, incredible stuff!
Yes!
Now CBS or NBC would also work as they have Champions, EFL and EPL respectively.
ESPN also could be an option. Like the 30/30 series.
Could also ask Ryan and Rob. Maybe FX / Disney would be interested. 🖖🏻
Agreed
Heel mooie.
Hopefully they do not. Would mean the quality death of the series.
Well done, excellent documentary
This is genuinely better than a lot of TV-quality stuff I've seen, fantastic script and production, not to mention stunning visuals. Well done Z, and everyone else.
It's like the old tifo vids. but it's just Z and his brother doing shit
This is phenomenal
Genuinely high praise coming from you. And I agree.
As a fan of your channel, so happy to see you giving props, Ellis. Thank you.
I still can’t fathom how amazing these productions are, it’s really like you’re carrying the torch of Anthony Bourdain, it’s beautiful
I got that exact same feeling from this. This deserves to become a documentary series on TV to get more eyes on it. It's brilliant.
Someone like Netflix better make a call, and get on helping to make this - but of course let Z and his team have the creative freedom, cause they’re doing a damn good job
Facts
Hey Zealand, it was crazy to meet you at the Kopenhagen Stadium at halftime. It was so weird to be on holiday in Denmark from the Netherlands and look to the left of me and see you in the row next to me. It was great to talk to you for a bit at halftime and to some of the fans of this great team!! I couldnt wait for this video (or should I say documentary because of the amazing quallity) to come out since that game.

Should I try making subtitles for this episode?
How can you make the subtitles for videos?
@@meinarnia5401 Aegisub, quite a decent amount of time and some determination. And FormatFactory to stick the vid and the subtitle file together
What other ones is there?
As a Copenhagen fan, I'm so happy that we were so hospitable to the Magpies and their fans. What a game.
Sensational storytelling of an outrageous story.
Football is absolutely magic
The production value of these videos in particular this one and the Faroe Islands are genuinely unbelievable, watched Zealand since the Bate Borisov days and what’s he’s done with the channel is a story in itself. Genuine guy who deserves all the success he’s getting
Wow, these docos are getting better & better.
How many 'build a nation' FM saves is this going to inspire?
May this series of videos continues, because its just fantastic .
The idea , the prodution , the quality , everything.
Just for now waiting for the video to go public and watch , hopefully , a great video !
Been waiting for this one! Incredible work all around 👏🏼
Fantastic stuff - proper captures the vibe of our little chunk of land. Cheers from a Magpies youth coach 💪⚫⚪❤
Paco's a treasure, if that man ever stops smiling the world needs to be worried.
Absolute cinema, you guys killed it! Also a massive shoutout to Adler for becoming a professional wildlife photographer, somehow.
The Copenhagen manager definitely was throwing the bottle in the dressing room :D what a great video
Please, Zealand... Never stop those videos. They are incredible - both storywise and visually. Now anyone fancy a Magpies save on FM? :D
I don’t think I’ve ever commented on a TH-cam video before but I felt the need to come here to say that was beautiful and I loved every second of it. Incredible that such a small team of people were involved in putting it together. Really well done.
Dude, the quality of these videos is fantastic, like it's 50 fulltime people working on them. I really hope you can continue doing them. Awesome job from you and Adler.
It’s crazy how good this turned out!
Always have a soft spot for the FM videos Z, but this type of content is up there with the best of the best on the platform.
All of these so far have given me strong Copa90 vibes, in the best way.
Really looking forward to seeing more of these going forwards.
Copa 90 video - “ my town could beat up your town “ re ‘ big club ‘ southampton & nearby Portsmouth 😃👍
‘Stuck between a rock and this hard place’ is such a cold line
The thumbnail doesn’t do this video justice because wow. This was spectacularly made and had me hooked for the entire 46 minutes, which is a rarity nowadays. I hope this video gets the love from the algorithm it deserves in the future.
Incredible, nearly cried when he said he didn't want the match to end. Legends, all of them.
This is what makes football the biggest and best sport in the world. The quality of these videos are, as others have said, better than the vast majority of stuff you will find on TV. Excellent work Ze, keep it up.
The quality of this production and the story behind this is absolutely amazing, thanks Zealand, if it wasn’t for you people like us would never get the opportunity to see the whole and real story behind Gibraltar 🤘🏽
Damn Zealand. This series might be your Magnum Opus! Incredible quality and narration.
Truly amazing video. It’s what football is about and watching these Hidden Grounds videos makes me fall in love with the game all over again.
World class Zealand, You and Adler do an incredible job at these.
Keep them going!
Thank you Zealand for this wonderful masterpiece.
Absolutely what football should be about. A working person's sport with belief, drive and dreams.... without money as it touches our hearts as kids playing jumpers for goalposts.

Man you've come a long way from those FM Base videos! Fantastic stuff, congrats to everyone involved in putting this together!
This is genuinely incredible. You need to keep this series going into the future, it's some of the best football content I've seen period.
our son put me onto this today . i enjoy the Scottish lads’ channel whom visited every semi pro & pro ground in Scotland & various other creators whom checkout English league grounds , disused ones etc. nipper tells me you visit Faeroe Islands which sealed my interest - will find that after this because Faeroe Islands beating Austria in a WC or Euro Qualifying round - featuring their Goalie whose mum insisted he wore the hat she’d knitted him re - ignited ‘pub team’ lore for a new generation in the 1990s across Europe . 😁👍

Got a little emotional toward the end. I think you’ve achieved your goals with this one. Brilliant work. 👌🏻
This content is too good for TH-cam, this should be a limited series on netflix
Wise man once said "this is why he does it", superb work
Honestly Z, brilliant. I love that you're able to make this sort of stuff alongside the FM stuff. It's wonderful
Absolutely incredible production, Z. I'm in awe of what you and your brother are doing with this series
Amazing production, Z! And thanks for the picture when visiting Parken Stadium
This was really captivating. You and your brother have an amazing team and this really needs to be docu series. This was such great work
Brilliant video! A Netflix quality video from a football youtuber. Just brilliant, keep going Z.
Excellent work, please keep doing these.
Best football-related series of videos I've ever watched on this platform. You should be so proud Zealand, hope this takes off for you big time.
This series of films are sick, mate! Great stuff. Production values are off the charts. I'm sure one of the British broadcasters would snap these up in a heartbeat. Thanks.
They say give a TV series at least 3 episodes before you judge it. I can soundly say, This is some of my favorite football content, period
Nice job to Z and the whole team. This was a great documentary and I hope you can do more!
The storytelling, narration, and the way the people involved open up to Zealand make this a brilliant series.

This is such a cozy video! The Family that owns Bruno's is so charming!
What an incredible video. The storytelling was so good and the cinematography and editing was also insane. Defo should be on Netflix!!
Incredible video!! Beautiful shots and a great script!
Zealand, this is fabulous stuff. What a wonderful story of passion for football and the unabashed love of grandparents.
Every one of the Hidden Grounds episodes is amazing. Great scripts, photography and editing. Better than anything comparable on mainstream tv or streaming services. Quality. Well done to the whole team.
Absolutely superb just like the two previous episodes. It’s so similar to the series adventures in golf and would hope you can get a similar level sponsor that they have to support future stories
Awesome stuff, great story! This content is such a great way to narrate the power of football.
This was awesome, I love this concept and the way you and Adler have executed it so flawlessly. I cannot wait for more to come!
Incredible work Z, Adler, and everyone involved. I hope you all keep doing this as you've got something special here
Man, what a video. Absolutely beautiful.
The story is amazing, the photography, the production, all of it; it goes straight to the heart.
I'm really proud of being your suscriber and getting to see your work.
Keep doing great Z.
Great stuff. As an American the world of football has been foreign to me for too long, and learning about how much all these clubs mean to their communities, no matter how small, has been inspiring. Thank you for sharing the story of Bruno's.
Again a nice doc, well done! Grts from Netherlands
Seriously dude. This is the best content you've ever made. Be proud of this one.
Pure brilliance… I’ve never watched something so beautiful and wanted the team to do so well … brunos has a new fan for sure
This is incredible dude. I love seeing the content you want to make and am glad this community helps make these videos possible
Really good watch mate. Hope it gets the success it deserves and this series keeps going.
Absolutely fantastic. You have a gift, Z and your entire team.
Another masterpiece! Again a great video! Love these series!
This video and team just oozes passion, it’s beautiful
Kudos to you Z and everyone else involved. Great great video. Enjoyed every minute of it.
Bruno's Magpies! Saw them win the Rock Cup in 2023. Gutted you did this after I'd left Gibraltar, would have been mad bumping into you!
Such a good video, this series overall is really unique and captivating. Should be on Netflix or Prime, that good! Great stuff Z, you’ve earned yourself some Turtles bro!

This is absolutely incredible
The camera work in this could be used for literally anything having to do with humans doing anything and it'll make it look fantastic. WOWZA
Brilliant Z. Great to see. Superb editing, plus great seeing Jack Storer of my non league club Stratford Town part of the Bruno's team.
This deserves to be seen by every football fan. Beautiful video
Zealand this is an awesome video, keep em coming🙏🏾💯
This was OUTSTANDING!!! I was legit sad it ended. I was all in for MORE!! You're absolutely on to something with this series!! Each episode just gets better. STANDING OVATION FROM THE HOME END 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Good work. High quality.
Your long form work is wonderful and a must watch every time.
Everything about this video is fantastic. Anthony Bourdain vibes can only be a good thing. I rarely comment on videos, but you've set a new bar here. As someone else said, it's better than some TV/Netflix stuff I've seen. Well done to everyone involved!
What a great one! Really enjoyed watching it
This series is incredible. Keep it up!
Amazing! Just LOVE this!
Great job Z, Adler, team & (obviously) Magpies!
