Interesting Fact, when the landowner who owned Anfield, applied to set up a football team, after Everton had left due to high rent, he wanted them to be called Everton Athletic Football Club. This was denied for being too similar to Everton, so they settled with Liverpool.

Only 16 years ago Brentford supporters rattled buckets and did sponsored walks to raise £700k (two weeks pay for Kevin De Bruyne) to keep the administrators from the door. That’s why they part own the club. Their owner is a Brentford fan, not an Arab Sheik, Russian oligarch and they’re not part of a US sports franchise. That’s why their rise to the greatest league in the world is so impressive and deserved. N.B. I’m biased and was at Wembley 😁🐝
Old Trafford is infested with rats.. 2 legged ones in the owners box and 4 legged ones all over the rest of the ground , 😢 it used to be a cracking stadium

Coventry's old stadium (Highfield Road) was the first all-seater stadium in England. Now we are back playing in the city of Coventry after 2 years of being exiled in Birmingham
Once you get to League Two, Tranmere Rovers' Prenton Park has an away stand called The Cowsheds (because the stadium is built on a former farm) where the seats slope downwards as you move along the stand, due to the diagonal road that runs behind it
The AMEX stadium ( home of Brighton and Hove Albion ) has been designed with seat capacity increase in mind. The pitch can be lowered by a few metres to allow up to 10,000 new seats. Source: the people who built it
Stamford Bridge was built in 1905 by the Mears family and they thought that Fulham FC would move in but they rejected the move to redevelop Craven Cottage. As a result the Mears family Formed Chelsea FC so that the ground wouldn't become a pointless undertaking
It's so beautiful and weird if we think about it this way. A club that was created just so that a stadium doesn't become a pointless undertaking, won the Champions League for the 2nd time so recently.
The old Main Stand and terraces were built up from 1905 but Stamford Bridge as a sporting arena was already there with two pavilion type stands at the southern end. It was the home of the London Athletic Club from 1877 to 1933. Harold Abrahams was one of its famous Olympians. Ironically, the Mears brothers (who were also involved with London A.C.) and their building firm had previously done work at Craven Cottage. The Mears planned to convert Stamford Bridge into a multi-purpose stadium and hoped to attract FA Cup Finals away from the old Crystal Palace ground. Of course having a tenant club was also beneficial, hence they first approached Fulham FC.
@@chelseacharger After WW1 ended Stamford Bridge did indeed have most of the FA cup finals played there. The ground at Crystal Palace was primitive with two stands that stood next to each other and the rest of the ground was just grass banking. The athletics stadium now occupies the same location
You made an interesting point about the Crystal Palace ground. Its potential local catchment area is huge, probably as big as Spurs and Arsenal combined. If the team was ever succesful I would think a 60000 capacity ground would be full most weeks.
St James Park, Newcastle United will always be an iconic stadium in the English game. Similar to Goodison Park in many ways with a great atmosphere and always attracts big crowds. I agree with you, there's something very pleasant about Carrow Road stadium in Norwich. As in Goldilocks and the 3 bears - It's just right for them.
I think Villa Park is everyone's benchmark for a good football stadium in England. It's very pretty under the lights with the brickwork behind them, the façade on the outside is of an iconic, traditional English stadium standard, and it's beautiful on the inside too. My favourite has to be either the Spurs stadium or the AMEX stadium though.
The San Mames his a great ground the only problem with su of these grounds look the same like fish bowls I am a wolves fan we got a nice ground it's going to be done to how 55ooo but they are building a team first than the ground no good having a 55000 and not have a team to play there
And of course not to forget Aston Villa has historic standing in english football the founder of the football league William Mcgregor was an Aston villa fan
Everton’s Goodison Park and Liverpool’s Anfield is separated by Stanley Park. Hockey fans are familiar with the name, because it’s the same Stanley the Stanley Cup is named after.
Anyone that had the misfortune to visit Everton for a night away game in the 80s will tell you it was named after the famous knife supplier of the same name!!!
I once had the opportunity to talk to one of the engineers behind the Amex and he was saying that originally the roof wasn't supposed to have those big supports on them but a last minute design change to the main stand meant they had to add them in for structural reasons. He didn't seem particularly pleased with the design change but they still look to have created an awesome looking stadium and he certainly sounded proud of it. Apparently the design has a lot of space built into it to allow relatively cheap expansions of the stands should they want the extra capacity in the future.
That South stand in Spurs' stadium is very intimidating and daunting. I should know I'm a Wolves fan. Molineaux still rules! Thank you for another entertaining/informative piece. Now- SHUSH! You shush! Gentlemen's sausage...
The Peacock is a brilliant boozer, and it's great to see the Mighty Whites back where they belong and as a Villa fan, living in Yorkshire. I'd like to thank Bielsa for helping us get promoted the previous season too.

The main stand at Selhurst park is 98 years old, no redevelopments. That's why they have the pillars. The Arthur wait is getting old with no redevelopments. If I'm right, the Arthur wait got it's roof in around 1940.
This was a great video for many reasons. You've done a great job and I hope you get an absolute ton of followers from it! I know you've got one from me.
Ha-ha! Well said, about Old Trafford. It is a famous and of course iconic old stadium but still a fantastic ground. Anfield stadium has yet another upgrade on the horizon, with the Anfield road stand due to be upgraded and increase the overall capacity to 61,000 at Liverpool's ground. The Etihad is just a great stadia ideal for Manchester City.
Elland Road actually has 39,892 seats now as we have managed to upgrade it a bit, a long with that, we are looking to expand it to a capacity ranging between 50,000 and 55,000🙌

Villa park was built on an ornamental pond in the grounds of Aston Manor which is a Jacobean mansion who's owner was Sir Thomas Holte which is where the Holte end gets its name from
Shame Brentford moved from Griffin Park as it's one I haven't visited and, famously, it had a pub on all four corners of the stadium. The new one looks a bit lopsided to me and I'm surprised they were able to get away with having it built so close to a railway track. Favourite away grounds now are Molineux, Goodison Park (wooden seats!) and Villa Park. Selhurst Park is one of my least favourite. I'm West Ham and your summary about our stadium is pretty much spot on!

For stadium architecture history in the UK know the name: Archibald Leitch. The Glaswegian is rightly said to be the greatest of them all designing iconic stands at Ibrox, Villa Park, Craven Cottage and Goodison Park to name a few.
Rotherham United’s ground, New York Stadium, isn’t named after the Big Apple (as many people think), it’s named after the Rotherham district of New York that actually pre-dates the City in the States. Coincidently, the foundry site that the stadium sits on manufactured the famous red fire hydrants in NYC. Finally you can still see the abandoned Millmoor ground from the new stadium. The old ground was Rotherham County’s home from 1908-25 and Rotherham Utd’s from 1925-2008. The club vacated due to some... very complicated financial issues and had to play at the Don Valley Stadium in Sheffield for Four years. Don Valley has also fallen into the history books and is now the Olympic Legacy Park, operated by Sheff Hallam University.
Seriously, do "many people" really think the stadium is actually named after NYC? I think not. Why would they think that? Most people aren't that thick. What connection would a smallish south Yorkshire town have to NYC? Doesn't make any sense.
@@zargonthemagnificent330 if you read down my comment I mention the connection. Unfortunately most people are that thick and see New York and immediately think it’s named after the city.

Why are the videos from a year ago better than the Moe recent ones. You sound so much more nervous in the voiceovers nowadays lol. These however are incredible
Goodison Park has long been a staple in the English premier League. Great atmosphere and a lot of history but Everton have already started the ball rolling on their new 45,000 all seated Stadium down at Bramley-Moor Docks. Planning permission is already granted.
My club, Bolton Wanderers FC was the first English club to suffer disaster in the ground yet never get remembered. Plus we have the 11th highest ever attendance record. Then we were the only club to have a supermarket built in the ground leaving half terrace and half supermarket brick wall behind the goal. And now we play at a stadium who's won loads of awards for the design of it but as well it's not even in bolton itself and is closer to Wigan town center than bolton's.
there was a time when Wigan Warriors could have taken up tenancy in Boltons ground. If the agreement to play in the JJB-DW hadnt been worked out buy the council
The 1946 disaster is probably rarely mentioned now because Burnden Park is long gone. There is a memorial plaque at the store which is now on the site.
Quick fact villa park is one of the biggest stadiums in england and is 8th biggest in use in the premier league plans are being drawn to make the north stand bigger and add a hotel on to it
Provided a deal with Sainsbury’s is done for land needed, Selhurst Park’s Main Stand will be expanded and the outside of it will have a design evocative of the Paxton Crystal Palace. There is a video on TH-cam showing how it will look.
Interesting Fact : if you were at Goodison Park (Everton F.C.) and sit in the upper Bullens road stand or the Upper Gwladys Street stand..you are sitting in the only seats still existing in the UK that witnessed a World Cup Semi-Final 1966 !
El estadio de Anfield me trae muchos recuerdos Me acuerdo cuando mi abuelo me llevaba al estadio y comenzaban a cantar el himno del club uff que recuerdos
Anfield❣️ Hopefully in the next 10 years they’ll find a way to extend the Kop. It deserves to be a towering wall but (half unfortunately) the extension will be on Anfield Road instead, which will still be great but look asymmetrical🤷🏼♀️
With CR7 back and signings like Varane and Sancho 75,000 seats just isn’t going to be enough lol but with the railroad right behind the Main Stand , the smallest stand in the stadium, any type of redevelopment would be very difficult
So much can be said about the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, largest club shop in Europe, Largest screens in Europe, wirlds 1st dividing pitch, longest bar, concourse made from the Runble of White Hart Lane, the Skywalk......Time capsule, Bill Nicholdons ashes under the pitch list literally goes on and on
If you make it to the National League (fifth tier)a fact about my local team Southend United. Their ground was built on an old rubbish dump. A wonderful old stadium though
Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was designed in collaboration with the US's National Football League and was designed to host both soccer/football and NFL games. The NFL did not directly finance the new stadium, but in 2015 it signed an agreement to play at least two games per season there for 10 years. If the NFL ever establishes a team based in England, Spurs Stadium will likely be its home.
I really like this spin through England's top grounds, but you missed out Sunderland? Your humorous little jokes add colour without distracting from the video. England's top division has some really marvellous stadiums and looking through this nice reminder of a idiosyncratic mix of the old and new it is clear gone are the day's when the football was five bob and a programme one shilling. As for my favourite it has to be Turf Moor Burnley, English tradition at it's best!
Chelsea's stadium upgrade plan was binned by the club a while back. Not gonna happen any time soon, if ever. Cost would run into many, many billions and even made Roman Abramovich think twice about it. With the Stamford Bridge land worth so much, probably more likely the club will eventually move to a new built stadium somewhere in west London suburbs.
I doubt very much that they'll move now. Firstly, suitable alternative sites around West London are very few and far between. London also has a big housing shortage and councils want any available land to remedy this. Building a new stadium out in the suburbs would face opposition from local residents plus it obviously wouldn't have the same level of public transport links. The land that Stamford Bridge stands upon is actually owned by over 23,000 Chelsea fans in the form of shares and they also own the naming rights to 'Chelsea Football Club'. The club would need their permission to move and keep the name. In any case, Chelsea FC know that they have previously gotten planning permission for a new stadium at SB. The local council is supportive of it. I think they will return to the project at some point with maybe a not so grandiose and expensive design or if they can attract outside investment/big stadium naming rights deal. The much larger capacity is the major requirement that needs sorting out asap.
Incredible to see Brentford back in the top flight for the first time since 1947!
Brentford is up is amazing. Wanted my Swans to go back top but missing out to the Bees is acceptable

The club vacated due to some... very complicated financial issues and had to play at the Don Valley Stadium in Sheffield for Four years. Don Valley has also fallen into the history books and is now the Olympic Legacy Park, operated by Sheff Hallam University.
Seriously, do "many people" really think the stadium is actually named after NYC? I think not. Why would they think that? Most people aren't that thick. What connection would a smallish south Yorkshire town have to NYC? Doesn't make any sense.
@@zargonthemagnificent330 if you read down my comment I mention the connection.
Unfortunately most people are that thick and see New York and immediately think it’s named after the city.
@@zargonthemagnificent330 because let's be honest most people who hear new york think oh yea that city in America
I think Villa Park is the classiest stadium
Man muted himself after rambling on about Newcastle 😂😂😂
If crystal palace had a crystal palace themed stadium that would be amazing
It would probably become unbearably hot on sunny days though. Like being in a giant greenhouse.
Been to the Emirates four times and it's very good!
You've been to the Emirates 4 times and survived?
@@ericbennison7483 one was for Show Racism the Red Card awards, the X-Factor auditions, the 2013 Emirates Cup and recently, in 2016 Arsenal v Southampton in the League Cup.
I will comeback again.

I'm a Southampton fan and have also been to the King Power. Definitely similar. Big statement though I think if Southamptons owner Markus Liebherr was still alive Southampton could've had similar success to Leicester
Why are the videos from a year ago better than the Moe recent ones. You sound so much more nervous in the voiceovers nowadays lol. These however are incredible
The old Peacock ground. I like it too.
Goodison Park has long been a staple in the English premier League.
Great atmosphere and a lot of history but Everton have already started the ball rolling on their new 45,000 all seated Stadium down at Bramley-Moor Docks. Planning permission is already granted.
53,000 it'll more or less be.
My club, Bolton Wanderers FC was the first English club to suffer disaster in the ground yet never get remembered. Plus we have the 11th highest ever attendance record. Then we were the only club to have a supermarket built in the ground leaving half terrace and half supermarket brick wall behind the goal. And now we play at a stadium who's won loads of awards for the design of it but as well it's not even in bolton itself and is closer to Wigan town center than bolton's.
there was a time when Wigan Warriors could have taken up tenancy in Boltons ground. If the agreement to play in the JJB-DW hadnt been worked out buy the council
The 1946 disaster is probably rarely mentioned now because Burnden Park is long gone. There is a memorial plaque at the store which is now on the site.
Used to love the old Burnden Park, until they put that supermarket up behind the away end, same thing at Selhurst Park.
Wealdstone Raider lives near my parents house. His local is the Village Inn in Rayners Lane, if you want to spot him on most days
lol you never disappoint.
Quick fact villa park is one of the biggest stadiums in england and is 8th biggest in use in the premier league plans are being drawn to make the north stand bigger and add a hotel on to it
And if they do expand, all they need to do is find some supporters?
@@ericbennison7483 huh we can easily fill out a 60k seat stadium we have supporters true supporters not plastic fans like city have
Can't wait to see Brentford next season good luck to them 🤙
Provided a deal with Sainsbury’s is done for land needed, Selhurst Park’s Main Stand will be expanded and the outside of it will have a design evocative of the Paxton Crystal Palace. There is a video on TH-cam showing how it will look.
Ah it was Brighton in 2015

@@zargonthemagnificent330 thanks
I've been to every one of these stadiums following Watford, quite a few of them mutiple times.
Felt I had to mention that.
Interesting Fact : if you were at Goodison Park (Everton F.C.) and sit in the upper Bullens road stand or the Upper Gwladys Street stand..you are sitting in the only seats still existing in the UK that witnessed a World Cup Semi-Final 1966 !
Best get a ticket in one of those stand's before they sadly bulldoze it and rip the seat off and sell it.
👍👍👍
10:18 is the best stadium 😉
Can you do Argentina's 1st division stadiums? There are some interesting and weird designs
Fun fact: Selhurst Park is used as AFC Richmond’s pitch in Ted Lasso.
El estadio de Anfield me trae muchos recuerdos
Me acuerdo cuando mi abuelo me llevaba al estadio y comenzaban a cantar el himno del club uff que recuerdos
I don’t know if you’ve done it yet, but it’d be cool to look at the stadiums from each of the Fifa World cups, just an idea to give you more content
@superdug I meant split into each World Cup, like a video of 1930, then another video for ‘34 and so on…
Anfield❣️ Hopefully in the next 10 years they’ll find a way to extend the Kop. It deserves to be a towering wall but (half unfortunately) the extension will be on Anfield Road instead, which will still be great but look asymmetrical🤷🏼♀️
Yep can't every see us moving from anfield
Love the way you call the Holte End "that stand" just one of the most famous stands in the game. Can see you've done your research!
When it was terracing, the Holte End was just awe inspiring to see on a match day. Biggest standing end in English football, I think.
Zargon the Magnificent wrong ..Henman hills the biggest
@@ewoodrailway lol 😊 Actually Henman Hill is outside the centre court so I don't think it counts! 😁
@@zargonthemagnificent330 26k but many more got in on match days before in became all seating..
0:41 that's the Estádio da Luz (Stadium of the Light)!!! The stadium of S.L. Benfica, a portuguese team!
im amazed you manged to do the Tottenham stadium without mentioning that its a specifically built dual purpose NFL and football stadium
......and concert venue, and boxing arena!
Speaking of greyhounds, Selhurst also doubles as Richmond AFC’s Dogtrack on Ted Lasso
West Bromwich Albion’s stadium, the hawthorns, is the highest stadium above sea level in England at 551 feet
Grimsby Towns stadium Blundell Park is the lowest at just less than 2 feet!
Sorry mate, this is premier league and WBA are not Premier League
Elland road has the best atmosphere and a intimidating place to go for away fans
Leeds fans think a lot of themselves, don't they? 😄
With CR7 back and signings like Varane and Sancho 75,000 seats just isn’t going to be enough lol but with the railroad right behind the Main Stand , the smallest stand in the stadium, any type of redevelopment would be very difficult
So much can be said about the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, largest club shop in Europe, Largest screens in Europe, wirlds 1st dividing pitch, longest bar, concourse made from the Runble of White Hart Lane, the Skywalk......Time capsule, Bill Nicholdons ashes under the pitch list literally goes on and on
If you make it to the National League (fifth tier)a fact about my local team Southend United. Their ground was built on an old rubbish dump. A wonderful old stadium though
Seems like 2021 was a good harvest?
I used to always start my career with them in fifa
Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was designed in collaboration with the US's National Football League and was designed to host both soccer/football and NFL games. The NFL did not directly finance the new stadium, but in 2015 it signed an agreement to play at least two games per season there for 10 years. If the NFL ever establishes a team based in England, Spurs Stadium will likely be its home.
I really like this spin through England's top grounds, but you missed out Sunderland? Your humorous little jokes add colour without distracting from the video. England's top division has some really marvellous stadiums and looking through this nice reminder of a idiosyncratic mix of the old and new it is clear gone are the day's when the football was five bob and a programme one shilling. As for my favourite it has to be Turf Moor Burnley, English tradition at it's best!
Chelsea's stadium upgrade plan was binned by the club a while back. Not gonna happen any time soon, if ever. Cost would run into many, many billions and even made Roman Abramovich think twice about it. With the Stamford Bridge land worth so much, probably more likely the club will eventually move to a new built stadium somewhere in west London suburbs.
I doubt very much that they'll move now. Firstly, suitable alternative sites around West London are very few and far between. London also has a big housing shortage and councils want any available land to remedy this. Building a new stadium out in the suburbs would face opposition from local residents plus it obviously wouldn't have the same level of public transport links. The land that Stamford Bridge stands upon is actually owned by over 23,000 Chelsea fans in the form of shares and they also own the naming rights to 'Chelsea Football Club'. The club would need their permission to move and keep the name. In any case, Chelsea FC know that they have previously gotten planning permission for a new stadium at SB. The local council is supportive of it. I think they will return to the project at some point with maybe a not so grandiose and expensive design or if they can attract outside investment/big stadium naming rights deal. The much larger capacity is the major requirement that needs sorting out asap.
Old Trafford Resort & Spa 😂
cool mannnnn
There are plans to build a £100m stand inspired by palace at selhurst park
Brentford’s stadium gives me U20 World Cup in Andorra vibes
that is very specific
Newcastle’s gallowgate stand is named after the gallows where they hung people on that bank, the pitch also has a 1 meter incline
Turf Moor tiene un gran parecido al estadio Saprissa en Costa Rica 🇨🇷
Everton: My dad was at Goodison for its record attendance. 78,000 plus. One night in 1984 I was there with only 15,000 others. 🤔
5:16 when you said good... you lost the chance to say ...ison park lol
Also great video
