As a Glenavon supporter, I can confirm that we all sit around the Mourneview Park centre circle and take psychedelics while listening to Tyrone and the McNuggets
You've missed a majorly interesting fact about, The Oval. It has a intact WWII pillbox/ gunner post within its walls, in the corner of the grass bank. Great video though, enjoy seeing the lesser known stadiums in lower levels of sport 👍
The Oval is a historic ground frozen in time. It and Bradford Bulls' Odsal Stadium are the few remaining examples of how people watched football 50 years ago and before the Taylor Report that were more or less untouched.
I'll admit I don't watch much irish league compared to some (compared to others I do lol) before Windsor got its make over I thought it was a far better stadium that should of had more cup finals although Linfield have always had that unfair advantage in that regard! Also yes the comparison to Bradford Rudby league stadium yes very similar and i really like that stadium too, I gave rugby league a bash for a while when sky first started showing matches and I much prefer that stadium to when they were playing in the football stadium as the football looks like its been put together by legos
Bradford Bulls are my club, not often I see/hear anyone talking about them. It was striking how much the oval reminded me of Odsal. He did a video on the championship clubs which features Odsal too.
@@manning0 I think the difference was that Odsal sacrificed an end for all those boxes. But Glentoran's is really a beauty, it has that rustic historic charm. Broken windows in the main stand stairwell, broken pre-Hillsborough crush barriers, grass growing between the concrete terraces. A far cry from any Premier League stadium's creature comforts but I absolutely adored it when I got the chance to visit last month for a match. It was a wonder to see how football was actually watched back in the 70s and before.
I love some of these older grounds, they have so much character. As a Cardiff city supporter, I miss our old ground, all of these all seater stadiums today are impressive, but kind of all the same.
Mr. Wide World, if anyone cares, I am very pleased that you added Tame Impala to your video music at 4:19. Being Australian, it would be the natural thing for you to do. Besides the fact that they are awesome.
If solitude was built in 1890 not only is it the oldest in Northern Ireland it is pre Northern ireland ,Northern ireland didn't come into being until 1920
Mourneview Park is not only the best stadium in the League the "Life without Jesus makes no sense" sign is fantastic and 100% true. Christ has risen, Viva Cristo Rey!!!
Tyrone and McNugget... You just don't get content like this anywhere else. Linfield don't fill their stadium as you say but their 4k+ average attendance is still impressive for the standard of the league, and when compared to the other teams in the league.
Lately I'v heard you say about some old or crumbling stadiums that there are "Plans for renovations in the future"! To me, it's more (IF we have the cash!) 🤨
These stadiums were set to receive government funding, but that process has been ongoing for more than 10 years, and now the clubs are being told they will have to reapply to get funding all over again
8:07 I like the sewage plant in the upper left. At 7:41 I had a chuckle thinking that was the lake. I think Loughgall is pronounced Luff-gull or Luth gull. Any Ulster bros help me out.
@@gallowglass2630 OK thank you for the clarification. There is a town in England called Loughborough and the English pronounce it "luff-burr-uh" or "luth-burr-uh". Figured it was similar in Northern Ireland but I suppose not.
@@neilwhitaker6284 Most of irish placenames are derrived from gaelic whereas english names are from anglosaxon and therefore placenames and pronounciation is very different
@@gallowglass2630 thumbs up yes of course it seems obvious to me now but at the time I wrote my comment it didn't lol. Northern Ireland would be a combination of Irish and Scots from the 17th century. As you say Celtic rather than Saxon. I think what threw me was I was doing a google street view in Louthgall before writing the comment and the village had a lot of Union Jacks flying and subconsciously thought of England. Thing is I am completely sober :)
@@neilwhitaker6284 Most places were already named by the time the scots arrived and when i say scots i mean lowland scots.Highland scots speak gaelic so there placenames are more or less identical to irish placenames.The lowland scots spoke scots which is similar to english ,but as i said they generally used the original names.They are loads of towns and villages in NI dominated by the descendants of scots and english descendants ,but the names are typically irish like Ballymena ,tobermore,rathfriland and so on.
I AM A PORTADOWN FAN AND YOU FORGOT SHAMROCK PARK AND IHAVE BEEN AT 5 PITCHS AND I WILL TELL YOU TWO OF THEM AND THEY ARE INVER PARK AND WINDSOR PARK AT THE BETMCLEAN CUP FINAL AND THE TEAMS THAT WHERE PLAYING ARE PORTADOWN VS LINFEILD BUT LINFEILD WON BUT PORTADOWN ARE THE BEST TEAM IN THE WORLD UP THE PORTS AND WE ARE 1ST PLACE IN THE PLAYRE FIT CHAMPIONSHIP BECAUSE WE WON VS BANGOR AND WE WERE AWAY FROM HOME COME ON THE BOYS IN RED ANS WHITE.
It doesnt. It hasnt held that amount for decades. It's currently just over 6,000. The figure for Cliftonville's is long out of date too. probably around 3,000

The drone shot of Mourneview Park with the swirly pitch was taken by me. Thanks for the credit.
The Brazil bit is a sneaky deep cut and I salute you for it.

The Recreation Ground, Aldershot, and Cappielow, Morton. They're very little altered too. The Oval is a great historic ground, really atmospheric.

It is for the island of Ireland but it is located in what would become Northern Ireland
Love the cliffs of Moher at the end 🇮🇪🤭👏🏼
I thought the first four letters reference was leading to an Arsenal joke.
Made me spit out my shitake mushrooms.😆
It will always be Taylors Avenue to me!
It's called seaview because it was originally on the seaside, but since a lot of land was reclaimed in the docklands the name is no longer accurate
Mourneview Park is not only the best stadium in the League the "Life without Jesus makes no sense" sign is fantastic and 100% true. Christ has risen, Viva Cristo Rey!!!
The Oval used to have a JESUS sign but they sadly removed it.
Gaa stadiums please.
i second that
From Londonderry to Cork, will be interesting.
Great video.
I can't wait for the Tyrone and the McNuggets world tour next year
Do Serbian SuperLeague Stadiums, there are some gems 👌
Way forward. Is all Island professional League of Ireland ☘️⚽🏆
That tune will sell a million. 😅
Nice Tame Impala reference

@@asdatesco2594 Understood! It's the way of the world, the bureaucracy in Inaction!
The oval does not hold 26000 with current health and safety rules they will only let in arround 7000 max

No he pronounced it right.Lough means a lake and its pronounced lock

What's the issue with a treatment plant next to Newry stadium when there's one beside Twickenham the world leading Rugby stadium
Twickenham needs it because rugby fans spend all their time drinking and subsequently pissing instead of watching the match.
So Loungview is the Green Bay Packers of this league? Both have small populations that can easily fit into their stadiums.
They only just got promoted last season too.
Loughgall.
Scottish Highland League next please, for the love of the Hedge
what is the Hedge? I know what a hedge is the long bush that lines the side of the road or a field but I don't think that is what you mean.
@@neilwhitaker6284 It's the hedge at Brechin City's stadium
@@BigKendog thank you. I don't know that but I am about to go look it up!!!
Of course the Australian man includes a Tame Impala snippet. I'm more of a Tyrone and the McNuggets fan myself.
Windsor Park is not the biggest stadium in NI,its Pairc esler In Newry

Do cymru north please
Next Training ground
Could you make a video ranking the MLB stadiums, please?
Come on man. One mounth is already by. Where is the Slovenian Football league 1?
I support glentoran❤️💚🖤
How could the stadium of Linfield be the largest in NI, if Glenrorans Ground has 8000+ more capacity 🤔
Glentoran stadium is a huge dump anyways
It doesnt. It hasnt held that amount for decades. It's currently just over 6,000. The figure for Cliftonville's is long out of date too. probably around 3,000
The largest stadium would be Pairc eisler GAA in Newry 20 000 capacity,not a football stadium but the biggest stadium in NI nonetheless
Safety reasons, Glentoran aren't allowed to open it to that and I can honestly see why having been there.
Jesus Christ is king
