Spurs fan here, lived in Mansfield for two years.....was at the Mansfield v Tottenham 3 -3 draw ...it was played in a deluge, the pitch was mud....this was a 2nd Div match played on the 25th March 1978....
Old Mansfield boy here, living in Brighton, ive played on Field Mill Twice, before the rebuild. Noticed the sign for Sandy's bar, im presuming thats Sandy Pate, ex player, I knew his son Alex.......anyway, enough rattling from me, great Video & equally great to see the old place again
As a Mansfield Fan, nice to see you visit our club. The training pitches there are not used by the main team, but not 100% sure on the youngsters, but the main team uses the RH Adacmey training grounds
The away team bus parks near the club shop the away fans park at the back of the North stand the Ian Greaves stand is called the Weat Stand the club shop is open from 10am till 5pm Monday to Friday and open on Saturday home games till 3pm and to get to the worst stand the Bishop street stand you have to walk up Bishop street itself
As well as the old training pitch you pointed out opposite the Ian Greaves Stand ( formerly known as the west stand ) we do have a state of the art training complex just outside Mansfield town centre ! Where the first team and youth academy players train ! And Sandy Pates isn't a cafe it's a proper sports bar with Tvs for watching live games, good food/drink and a great atmosphere on Match days for fans of both teams ! ( Named after one of our legendary players Sandy Pate ! ) Thanks for highlighting our club( currently leaders in league 2 ) ! Tony ( season ticket holder in the Ian Greaves Stand with my son Liam )
Thanks for visiting enjoyed your vlog . The Mill pond where you walked past is from the original cotton mill that was there , the mill workers used to play cricket & football on the field opposite as far back as 1850 hence Field Mill.
You Stags! Excellent video. The side opposite the big main stand is the Bishop St Stand which is unused nowadays and the club have trouble redeveloping due to housing right behind it. I did the 92 back in the mid eighties and it's great to see how the new grounds, which I haven't been able to do, look like .
I’ve visited in my quest of doing the 92. Quite a nice viewing experience, albeit one side of the pitch is rather odd. And they now (sadly) don’t sell programmes like an increasing number of clubs.
Love you videos Ry , I’m a Liverpool Fan 🔴, but I love to know about other Football Clubs History and their Stadium. Big thumbs up 👍👍on Mansfield Town FC never knew about 1861 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Yes Ry, I discovered your channel about a month ago so I have already seen your tour that you did of Anfield Stadium. And yes I know that you’re a main United fan 🤪🤪. But your also a Football Fan so keep up the good work on the letter known clubs.👍🌟
Despite the signage, the stags don't train on the field next to the stadium. They have a relatively new academy about 5 miles away. Also, the colours of Mansfield are Royal Blue and Amber.
Another interesting video. I know Eastnor Deer Park, my Sister lives round that way. We meet up to take her dog for a walk. You'll have to do a 360 Tour of Eastnor Castle. Used to go to Ledbury Swimming Pool with Primary School. Been to Ledbury Town FC's ground twice. One match a pre season friendly against Gloucester City. Used to take my Mum to Car Boots at Ledbury on Sunday mornings. Went to the Full Pitcher Pub afterwards, for lunch. Sorry Ry, going Way Off Topic.
Goodison Park (EVERTON) was the first purpose-built association football stadium in the world. Walton-based building firm Kelly brothers were instructed to erect two uncovered stands that could each accommodate 4,000 spectators. A third covered stand accommodating 3,000 spectators was also requested
The training ground is the Radford and Hymas Academy in Pleasley, not the pitches behind the West Stand. The RH is genuinely one of the best training facilities in the lower leagues and bears the name of two of the club's directors. My girl plays there with the U10s and it's great that they share the same facilities and cafeteria as the first team. We regularly see players down there and chat to them.
FYI. stags actually train at a state of the art facility in a place called Pleasley about 4 miles from the ground the artificial pitch is a public used pitch. enjoyed yr vlog
Great Video Ry! What a lovely little Ground. What a shame that the world’s oldest Professional Ground is now known by a sponsored name. We need to protect heritage and not sell it off. I think you’d like The Den, home of Millwall that’s corner heaven for you and The Valley home of Charlton Athletic which has traditional housing opposite and you can park outside the ground for free on non Match days. Keep them coming mate.
@@RysFootyParadise Hey Ry! Both Millwall and Charlton are in South London and about 5 miles apart. But travelling in London takes forever. The Valley is in the same area as The Thames Flood Barrier and The 02. It’s also not very far from The remnants of Woolwich Arsenal’s Invicta Ground. But please Google that as that area has has a huge redevelopment of the last 7/8 years.
stags fan here, the pitch behind the stadium was our old training ground (planing on turning it into an indoor sports centre) but now we have moved over to pleasley called the RH academy. the bus you saw isn’t our team bus either we do have a better one than that 😂
So, you trying to visit every EFL team on top of your Premier League project? What’s your next challenge? Doing Lands End to John O’Groats via as many football grounds on the way? 😂
Let’s be honest back in the day it was only Villa park and Hillsborough Stadium who always had all the semi finals Bramhall lane is the old Sheffield Wednesday ground they played there and was also none as the Blades before SUFC was even invented! Sheffield fc oldest club in the world Sheffield Wednesday fc Hillsborough
When you going to do a video of Edgar Street? You can't do a video of Cheltenham Town and Forrest Green and not do one of Hereford I'd be more than happy to be your cameramen 😂
I went to the Torquay game a few weeks back but never edited up the footage 😅 was hoping to do like a mini documentary style video so if you fancied getting involved give me a shout on Instagram mate 😉
If I had Instagram I would 😂😂 but would love to get involved with some things mate. Can reminisce the chalkie White days of Hereford. I wish I still had my old United kits from sun valley days
THE LANE will always be the 1st oldest Pro Football stadium ever built! It was the Wembley of the North that hosted the oldest Finals of Professional game ! Which was? 😮
History of Hillsborough 28 fa cup semi finals World Cup finals in 1966 Euros in 1966 Biggest Kop when first built at Hillsborough stadium! 2 league cup final reply’s First cantilever stand Record attendance almost 73k fans Sheffield Wednesday v Man City in 1934/35 seasons! Sheffield Wednesday are still Yorkshires most successful football club They got relegated to league one because of their terrible chairman Chansiri who the fans want out! They average over 26k fans in league one last season before getting promoted and took over 48k fans to Wembley! Sheffield fc the oldest football club in the World they are not professional they sold their rules book a few years ago which was sad because they needed the money!
Whoop whoop the gates open!
Only Mansfield fans will get the joke😂

My mum lived in Field Mill house in the 1960s. It’s the building he was stood outside at the start of this clip - which backs on to the pond
@@scotthenshaw8539 that’s amazing , I bet it looked impressive back then , lots of history

Always interesting, very impressed by Brentford’s new ground.

Great video! Would love you to do the King Power Stadium.

You should visit Maidenhead united york road its acknowledged by The fa as the oldest continuously used stadium in the world.

Haha good suggestions mate you know me well 😅 I’m gonna pop down for a QPR tour in a couple weeks I’m guessing those 2 are nearby?

Now you are talking Mansfield town my nearest football league team from my home it's a old stadium field mill
The training pitch is being turned into a fan zone thing I believe
That training pitch was the old and is usually hired out, they train at the RH academy now
stags fan here, the pitch behind the stadium was our old training ground (planing on turning it into an indoor sports centre) but now we have moved over to pleasley called the RH academy. the bus you saw isn’t our team bus either we do have a better one than that 😂
I was only messing about the bud 🤣 cheers for the info mate 👍🏾

I'm at work till 3 otherwise defo would of been up for it mate 👍🏻😃😃😃
get yourself to elland road if you like history mate.
Let’s be honest back in the day it was only Villa park and Hillsborough Stadium who always had all the semi finals
Bramhall lane is the old Sheffield Wednesday ground they played there and was also none as the Blades before SUFC was even invented!
Sheffield fc oldest club in the world
Sheffield Wednesday fc Hillsborough
I think the difference in title is Brammel lane is the oldest pro stadium and then Mansfield will be the oldest professional ground
