While we're talking about Rugby League, in 3rd you would have had Leigh Genesis who ground shared with Leigh Centurions at 12,000 capacity stadium Leigh Sports village until 2010. London Broncos did play at Orient's Brisbane Road for one game in 2012 against Bradford Bulls, which I was at and the Shay houses Halifax rugby league football club.
Select Security Stadium! I’ll never forget when I tried to sneak in there. I wanted to get some nice pictures of the pitch but ended up getting kicked out! Fun times
@@declanl7477 why was it ever built? Darlington have never even been up to the championship, so what’s the logic behind building a stadium with premiership level capacity?
There were plenty of old stands before the Taylor report, some going back to the 19th century. A few pre-dated football and were old cricket or horse racing grandstands that were bought by football clubs.
I don't think you should be surprised by level of enthusiasm. If your league, let alone your club, never gets so much as a mention on a channel, of course those fans will be excited when you talk about their sides.
Widnes are a League club. It would literally take 1 Google search to figure it out. And if you can't be arsed doing that. Just remember League is played in the north and Union is played in the South
Finally. The national league is a brutal mistress and so hard to escape but it's so nice and refreshing to see a video acknowledging there's more to NL than $alford and £illericay
Before Taylor and health and safety lots of clubs had massive terraced stands capable of holding tens of thousands. In the post-war boom years when there wasn't much else to do except watch footie, they often did. The biggest factors to separate the have's and have not's were the end of split gate money, and the advent of the Premier League. Next year the Prem is reputed to be worth almost £200m just for being in it. A club could have no fans and be successful and on telly every week, and one with 20k supporters could disappear without trace (Coventry?). Barmy. I'd rather watch a pub side and have an ale.

Prenton Park is crazy - it's a mid-Championship stadium in non-Leagie
Solomon_GAFC It's a big advantage when you use them in FM good Lord.
How's Guiseley doing btw?
Its too big for us , but I love prenton Park.
Thats because, once upon a time, thats the level we were at 😭😭
BlazeMasterGaming I go to nearly every home game - the atmosphere is immense !
WELL WE ARE LEAGUE 2 NOW LADS

Widnes vikings are a rugby league club not union
God damn it Widnes play in Rugby League, but it was good you did some research
It's nice to see Michael Owen finding work doing video voice-overs
Fun fact that you probably already knew : Edgeley Park is the closest ground to the River Mersey
Dan Jones not for long #efc
im a county fan
The Racecourse would be #2 if the Kop wasn't closed due to heels being dragged over redevelopment. Stadium capacity before then was 15,500.
Select Security Stadium! I’ll never forget when I tried to sneak in there. I wanted to get some nice pictures of the pitch but ended up getting kicked out! Fun times
Back in the day we had a 25,000 seater stadium (Darlington)
what happened to it
@@younusbendame742 couldn’t afford it mate and went bust the rugby club own it now
@@declanl7477 why was it ever built? Darlington have never even been up to the championship, so what’s the logic behind building a stadium with premiership level capacity?
Had a dick head owner mate, thought we were on the up and he went to big
@@declanl7477 How's the club doing now? still in the conference?
Widnes Vikings are Rugby League not Union. There is a very significant and fundamental difference between the 2 codes!!
Yes and league is 9999999999999999X better
@@djslowy7374 9999999999999% agreed, I mean look at my picture, it's me and Niall evalds.
I love going to the smaller stadiums in England like Craven Cottage and Loftus road
Great video 👍🏻

Chesterfield's ground (Proact Stadium) needs to be added to this.
Widnes Vikings are a Rugby League club. Also they dropped down to the Championship
Oldest Stadiums in Non-League

Borderlands Wrexham
Widnes are in the 7th tier of rugby union. I think you meant top division in rugby league
I don't think you should be surprised by level of enthusiasm. If your league, let alone your club, never gets so much as a mention on a channel, of course those fans will be excited when you talk about their sides.
It hurts being a Stockport fan after such good times shortly before relegations, administration is a bitch
Widnes are a League club. It would literally take 1 Google search to figure it out. And if you can't be arsed doing that. Just remember League is played in the north and Union is played in the South
The Shay is massive! And they can only open two stands. Its a shame to see such a modern stadium with such little fans
Widnes FC our great club 💛
Woolly widnes hahha
What about big city’s with a poorly supported football club and the reasoning behind it
Well you could start with dublin in ireland though the reasons are fairly obvious competition with the EPL and competition with other sports arnas haj
Arnas Hej man city
Sam H thats why their stadium is empty week in week out
Who are you referring to?
York City ground?
Bootham Crescent is 8,256.
Maybe you should have researched a little better, Widnes Vikings play Rugby League not Rugby Union...
What is that small prem stadium?
Dean Court (The Vitality Stadium), Bournemouth - holds just over 11,000.
K thanks mate
Vitality Stadium, AFC Bournemouth about 10,500.
Bengy Dogy dean court it had a picture
Bournemouth i think
Can’t believe you finally put Scunthorpe in a video
NoahGaming Xbox One Their too good to feature in a videp

Finally. The national league is a brutal mistress and so hard to escape but it's so nice and refreshing to see a video acknowledging there's more to NL than $alford and £illericay
Do the smallest stadiums in non league
Koomzie
Would be 0 capacity as non-league include amateur clubs
Widens vikings plays in rugby league, not Union
WIDNES VIKINGS ARE NOT A RUGBY UNION TEAM
Why are Widnes in this vid they play rugby not footie lol?
Hard like, it looks like you looked only in Great Britain clubs here...
My team Lincoln City would have been in 7th place last season with Sincil Bank holding 10,120 fans.
Shame Tranmere haven’t been top division unlike orient and Wrexham
Where is York city's stadium
Bootham Crescent capacity is 8,256.
Ronaldo - I was sent by God to play football
Messi - I don't remember sending anyone.
Zygmunt Poli copied off that Eminem lil Wayne thing
I've played at prenton park!!
These stadiums are bigger then many 1st and 2nd divions ones in other parts if Europe.
3:05 6th tier
Halifax ground is shut in some places so it’s not 11000
That largest stadium has a higher capacity than 10 belgian first division stadiums in the 2017/18 season :p
Yes now Widnes!!!
Widnes Vikings are Rugby league
Widnes is rugby league
Top 7 average attendances outside the football league next?!?
Damn hitc sevens back at it again with the non-league videos
Chester FC?
When a 5th tier English club has a bigger stadium then nearly all of the teams in you country's first division.
I don’t think it’s been said in this comment section but Widnes play in the rugby league
Widnes Vikings are rugby league
Widnes fc are a team as my local side have played against them

Hamburg just dropped out of Bundesliga, their stadium holds up to 57 thousand people
WIDNES💪💪
Ewen Fields?
Widnes is rugby leauge not rugby union
I live in Wrexham oh biscuits
Good vid but I hate Gateshead’s stadium
The "My Racecourse" logo was hideous. A 4 year old with a pack of half-chewed crayons could do a better job
Widnes Vikings play in rugby league not rugby union
Hold on... American football lines in an English soccer stadium? Mind blown. We've been trying to get rid of those in the states.
ste bott Halton Spartans. I just looked them up. Those are American football lines.
I dont know one person from gateshead who supports gateshead fc. Also the population is far more then 120k
Good work than but am seriously check for non league club team yo ply pls if you can help me let me no tnx
Linfield in Belfast Windsor park
Them Vikings won't be happy
Has to be quite easy to get out of non league. It only took Grimsby 7 years and we're crap.
Try being a Wrexham fan. 10 years and we're still there.
South Shields F.C > Gateshead F.C
Orient ‼️❤️
Wrexham Wrexham ❤️⚽️

Shoutout Stockport (even though as a resident, it's a shithole).
Please don’t conform to ignorance of the English language: the plural of stadium is stadia. You don’t say bacteriums do you!?
The Shay has 14,654 capacity but close enough
*stadia
Widnes Vikings are Rugby League you pleb 🤣🤣
