Had a look on Google Earth as I was curious - the pitch has an elevation of 249 metres at one end and 244 metres at the other. A 5 metre drop over 100 metres is absolutely mental. You can zoom in to pitch-level on Google Earth and it's a proper slope! For perspective, it's actually steeper than any section of mainline railway in the UK. Too steep for our trains - perfect for football!
Alfie you got shafted mate! I all seriousness, I want to go here myself one day. Hallam FC and Sheffield FC should be a pilgrimage for all football fans
There should be a list of must-do football experiences in the UK. I'd vote for Arbroath at home in the middle of winter. Dark, cold, windy and the refreshing feel of the spray off the North Sea.
@@drunkenhobo8020oldham is apparently cold, can also imagine the hawthorns will be as it is surprisingly the highest ground in england (thought it would be buxton)
The top goal line is in line with the bottom crossbar its so slanted, also Daniel Pudil was playing for the hammer and pincers Sunday team, which is a pub team round the corner before he played for Hallam. He played an game for them that the Hallam chairman or manager was watching (cant remember which) and was asked if he wanted to play for Hallam.
So didn’t you venture into the bar where in the entrance you’d have seen a replica of the oldest football trophy in the world (the original is priceless and once featured on Antiques Roadshow so locked away) which was won by Hallam F.C
You need to come to Maidenhead Uniteds York Road before we move grounds. The olldest continuously used football ground in the world by the same club. There is a lot of history and at the moment there is a lot of disagreement about the ground move and petition against the council for not allowing the move.
My bad Great Yarmouth Town's Wellesley Grandstand was completed in 1892. The Grade II listed structure has a brick ground floor below a timber roof and is recorded by Historic England as "possibly the earliest football grandstand surviving in England"
I've been watching this channel for 2/3 years now. This is possibly the best video yet (though I was hoping you'd come out with the cummerbund over your jacket). Absolutely amazing content throughout 2023, I hope the figures have reflected this
I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your videos! I always look forward to your new content, and it's become a little tradition for me to bring some delicious food and enjoy it while watching your latest videos. Your content really adds to the enjoyment of my mealtime. Keep up the fantastic work!
The oldest professional stadium is Bramall Lane. The first derby between Hallam and Sheffield FC was played not too far from Bramall Lane and is now in B&Q car park.
Kings lynn fan here ,love the mini shout out on the monento ad read 🤣 gotta come to the walks for the terrible hospitality package.. up the fkn lynn!!!
Fun fact: Werther's Originals were created in 1909, and only launched in the UK in 1992 (year I was born), so technically calling it candy for old people in the UK, is incorrect. Great video, though. 👍🏻
Was meant to play cricket there but it got moved to the teams second ground due to a football match, always wondered what the ground would look like. Will defo go one day and to Sheffield FC
Would of thought they would level out the pitch, that’s horrendous! That’s a big incline, definitely gives the advantage to the team going down hill 2nd half.
Bro i started using momento but i'm a Fluminense supporter from Brazil and if you count me there's only 2 supporters registered there ffs 😅 guess i'll just follow random premier league supporters
Sheffield has the oldest football team in the world (Sheffield FC), the oldest football stadium (Hallam FC), and both teams play in the oldest football tournament (the Rules Derby). All recognized by the FA, UEFA, and FIFA with Pele paying tribute to them multiple times. Meanwhile the University of Cambridge has a statue in a Cambridge park claiming they invented Football because obviously it was invented by toffs in top hats not those damn working class ruffians!
The forerunner of the first rules were developed at Cambridge by public school boys who all played different rules at school and wanted to play with each other.

It’s not a football pitch. It’s a bloody ski jump.
That's like the drop on 13 at alton towers
and that's why team's swap ends. Because back in the day no team would have a flat surface like todays game
I laughed that Alfie couldn't grasp how they were the second oldest club but had the oldest stadium.
😂😂😂😂

Pausing the video at 9.31 is absolutely hilarious. Incredible cinematography, a milestone in British Comedy. Bravo.

Done both Hallam and Sheffield 🥳 And yes the slope at Sandygate is pretty huge 👏
Away Days is the wholesome content we need more of in the world. Thanks Ellis.
Alfie makes great music. Really enjoy it! Thanks for letting us know he does that.
He does!

It's hallam fc in Sheffield
UMM actually 🤓
Gotta give it to Ellis he's smashed that look
😂😂
I was at the game saw ellis and left him alone 😂 that outfit looked much better in person than in the video lol
That pitch is probably the reason teams swap ends per half 🤣

If you do a mascot series
Loved this. Luca is a great player. Played for my club Swallownest last season.
779.898 days = some 2191 years, gotta respect football

Up the Hallam, only a 15 min walk from my house, been up there a few times this season
real talk though Ellis doesn't look half bad in that fit! Like deadass he looks good even
gotta rate the effort coming up here for the match the number 6 brandon works at the same pub as me hes proppa sound
brilliant video, thanks for the upload as always!
I watched them, when I was in Sheffield. The hill I walked up to get there, was amazing.
About time you visited the old football ground continuously used by the same football club. York Road, home of Maidenhead United since February 1871.
I'll be there next year. My local side Beverley Town just got promoted into the NCEL Premier Division where Hallam currently play.
Went to Sandygate in March. Fun experience. Didn’t expect the pitch to be on that much of an incline.
I’m in crosspool and watch Hallam what a atmosphere
I love a party with a happy atmosphere.....
Love this channel. "Is he on day release?" HA!
Kings lynn fan here ,love the mini shout out on the monento ad read 🤣 gotta come to the walks for the terrible hospitality package.. up the fkn lynn!!!
Most enjoyable parts of watching away days
Their trip to the stadiums

Great video, though. 👍🏻

Yup. Needs to be a boiled sweet, like a humbug or an Everton mint ...
The talking to lino / keeper every single video is brilliant
Go on Neo química arena the stadium of Corinthians of Brasil. There it haves the best fans of Brasil
I really enjoyed this one. The atmosphere and the crowd age range was exceptional for a non league team. A lot of fun for all.

Site of the first ever interclub football match - Sheffield FC vs Hallam - birthplace of the biggest sport in the world!!
Apparently there is an older pitch in Chapeltown near Bolton.
Went there in 2012 Old Boltonians on my blog website The NTG
genuinely funny stuff... thanks for the upload

I just discovered your channel and i love it. You should visit cowdenbeath stadium in Scotland. They play in the Lowland. I dare you.
Filmed a video at Sandygate at the start of last season and can say the slope is dramatic as it looks!
9:03 Without the Jacket he looks like my Bavarian Grandpa when he was still alive
Dude the last ref was clearly smiling at your antics
Go to the wellsley in Great Yarmouth near Norwich it has the oldest football stand in the country
9:57 The brickwork confirms a VERY sloped pitch
Sheffield home of football
Francis Bourgeois if he was into football and not trains.
Yo i played on that pitch at stockport county vs sheffield wednesday it was used as the county fan pub
Oh how I wish that stadium on the thumbnail still existed 😢
That slope is outrageous
“Gee I wonder who’s editing this video.” 0:41 explains it
That suit jacket is wonderful
Bro i started using momento but i'm a Fluminense supporter from Brazil and if you count me there's only 2 supporters registered there ffs 😅 guess i'll just follow random premier league supporters
What about going to the world’s oldest ‘temporary’ stand - away end at priestfield? 😂
0:06 Very speicial indeed
Ellis answered my question when he asked did his outfit make him look like he was on day release because it did have that eccentric look to it
Nah Ellis pulls off that jacket surprisingly well
Bro come to kochi in india..the home of kerala blasters in indian super league 💛
Absolute TH-cam heritage.
Horse and cart (A)
Sheffield fc played at a pitch called the olive grove I think that is not a football ground now
Numpty, that’s McCain Stadium Scarborough in your preview picture.
4:55 into the video and just notice that Ellse has a Wonkey eye or he's having a stroke but great video mate keep your head up and keep going
Why the picture of the old main stand at the now demolished McCain Stadium? It’s certainly not the oldest ground in the world!
The alan parsons project doesn't quite have the same feel as when the 90s Chicago bulls used it...
Love how you pronounce concert in your northern. Comes out as cUncert, lol.
o estilo do futebol ingles é muito massa.
I’m an American and I’m making sausage rolls because of this video also nice outfit but you need a top hat like Churchill 😂
WTF how does my compatriot Daniel Pudil play in like 10th tier english side now AND talked to you on the toilet. Thats crazy.
A little sus with that sausage roll mate wink 😉
Can you go to bury fc please there’s a game on Tuesday.
If this isn't it, can you visit the UK's ground with the largest gradient?
Sheffield football club was founded 1857 and worlds first team, 0:28 so how was there a stadium built 53 years before
Are you slow mate
Up the wednesday!
Time to go the worlds hottest and coldest pitches too, would be way interesting
U should go the Nantwich vs Chester Game on 18/11
Derbyshire better score next campaign 😂😂😂😍
“Ex Watford” didn’t wanna say Sheffield wednesday did ya 😂
Interested to know why you used The McCain Stadium for the thumbnail?!
Pudil came to Sheffield for Wednesday and never looked back
next you need to come to Sheffield FC
Think there may be a slight miscalculation on the number of months and days 😂😂😂😂
What's the app you can geolocate nearest football match?
Calculations on the age was waaaay off with the days 😂😂😂

Ellis, I've made a football stadiums higher lower game and I'd love to see how high you can score it! Do you accept the challenge?
you should go watch the oldest football sheffield fc
For a international Away day, go Bangladesh for a bashundhara kings match 😮
Nice video 😊
Well it is the oldest stadium in the world plus they did have soccer balls back then for sale but later on things got better
Uriah Rennie ( ex football referee is the president at Hallam fc shocked you never saw him he is always there
Honestly the outfit (with the jacket on) wasn’t that bad.
You need help. Professional care is available.
Surely head to the worlds most northern based football club, and the worlds most southern based football club
Nice one
beer drinking in the stands. great
5 meters drop wow, what a slope
