There was a guy on St. Annes Rd in Doncaster that built his own stand at the back of the old Belle Vue ground to watch Doncaster Rovers. It can still be seen on Google maps :)
If that little stand isn’t the epitome of smaller league and junior tier games, I’m not sure what would be. Still, seeing such a supportive crew of fans shows how much the local team means to fans. Great work as always.
Well done for highlighting and celebrating the joy that comes with enjoying football in lower league, junior level and none league! What a brilliant community asset such a club is.
For anyone who hasn't attended a Scottish football ground, the importance of the pie production setup at every level of the game cannot be underestimated.
When Camelon won the Junior Cup in 94-95 against Whitburn (my local team), I think the score was 2-0 to Camelon and it was played at Fir Park. Every game I went to support Whitburn, they won. I never made it to the final and they lost. I accept full responsibility for that. Sorry Whitburn 🙁
Love lower league football. Looks like a great ground and the pitch looks fantastic! One of the local teams to me, a blokes back garden backs onto one of the stands and whilst he didnt build a stand, he can happily watch the game over his fence. Love to see it
The canal actually passes behind Firhill. Paddle the canoe from Hibs to Partick Thistle nil! I'd join you on my kayak, but I'm about a squillion years old. I'd happily sponsor you for that.
Nice! I love fishing, I love pies and a bit of footy. That is a nice ground, a little quirky. It looks well maintained and loved. Speaking as an Annan fan, I like the four sides! Great choice
Great content👏 I seen a clip on tiktok and came over to watch it all. That club is well run, The pitch is superb, some clubs in the top league need to take note.
Great to see you made it along to Camelon Juniors, Sam. I was sitting with you at Stenny game other week telling you about what a great wee club they are, having supported them as a kid.
What a great channel Sam! I only discovered Footy Adventures today after spotting your Stenhousemuir video by chance. Already watched 5 of your videos and very well done. Love the interviews with the people involved with these small clubs, and seeing small grounds like Camelon Juniors is a real treat. Greetings from Australia.
Thanks so much mate I appreciate that. I’ve made over 750 videos from all over so lots to catch up on if you’ve got some spare time. I even started my channel in oz at Central Coast Mariners in 2019. Good times! All the best mate. Cheers
Around Wrigley Field in Chicago (baseball) the owners of neighboring buildings built stands on top of their roofs in order to watch the game for free (and then to eventually charge others). The stands are still there and you can still catch a game from atop the rooftops across the street to this day.
Great report of a very tidy lower league ground. You can stroll along the canal path from the Falkirk Wheel to get the best view of the stadium. Thanks for your excellent coverage of Scottish football
Sam I stay in Camelon, but on Tuesday night I hopped over to watch Kennoway Star Hearts, new ground for me. They literally play in the middle of a farm! Well worth a visit, cracking steak pie
I love this video Sam. I know it’s late but could you come to the Steins Thistle vs Cupar Hearts amateur Scottish cup semi final at the Falkirk Stadium tonight im a big fan ❤
In Germany we don't necessarily have stands on private grounds but something like houses right next to the smaller stadiums is absolutely normal. one example is the TSV Havelse in the northern germany 4th league - the regionalliga nord. There you can watch games from behind the goalside from the comfort of your own apartment if you wish xD
I went to watch the Boston Red Sox a few years back.. on the far side, the people in the flats have built their own viewing galleries… they charge thousands for people to sit in their front room. The Red Sox tried to build up the far stand to get more people in but they lost the court case as it would have stopped people in these apartments from watching the games. Only in America
@@RossParker1877 Maybe give you a pass on that one your maybe a wee bit further away than I thought,for some reason I was thinking 10 minutes walking distance,probably because I don't drive.
Eden Park Auckland, which is New Zealand’s national/ biggest stadium. Back in the 80’s a man built a stand in his back garden, it seated roughly 50 people, and ironically was nicknamed the "scotsman stand". When Eden park was redeveloped for the 2011 rugby World Cup finals, this stands view was taken away. But, if you look closely, there is a small structure inside the ground, in much the same spot, which is clearly a small tribute to the original out of ground stand.
That little stand reminds me of the Chicago Cubs, some of the surrounding blocks of flats have little stands on the roof that look down into the ballpark.
I used to live in Camelon, and watched Camelon for 8 years, was at Motherwell when they beat Whitburn 2-1 to lift the Scottish Junior Cup, even East Stirling played there
The difference is, that Camelon spend money on their park. Dundee doesn't. All the talk of new stadium plans at Dundee is a sideshow and distraction by those in charge. You can clearly see they are not maintaining what is there.
Another great video Sam, but why doesn't the guy who built a stand in his own garden just pay at the gate and support the club financially ( or maybe he does?)
Camelon Juniors, the team who were indirectly responsible for me becoming a Celtic supporter. At primary school I saw a group of neds quizzing a boy with a red and white scarf. Q - Whit team dae ye support? ... A - Camelon Juniors! Q - Naw, we mean big team ... A - Liverpool ! Q - Naw, we mean Scoattish team ... A - Falkirk! Q - Naw, we mean Top Division Team ... A - [back to the red scarf theme] Aberdeen! WRONG ANSWER!!! ... So they beat him up - Hullo Hullo, no prizes for guessing what he was supposed to say.
Definitely cool (what this guy did), but… eham… since he’s not paying for match tickets (or pies, or coffee/tea), I hope he supports his club financially in some other way(?)… Just saying… By the way, my record of matches attended in a single day is four as well, but being fully honest, it’s 3.5 :-). Macao, a decade ago, I watched back-to-back second division matches at the same stadium, but had to leave at halftime of the second match, so as to catch a bus and reach the main stadium on time for back-to-back top division matches. So, yeah, 3.5, in something over eight hours.
Continuing a good tour of grounds. As the club desperately needs every penny it can get, I'm disappointed the two fellers who get the game and don't pay got a thumbs up. I get it that it's a novel way to view, only give the club something rather than blowing off you're getting freebies.
I thought that I had commented on this guy's viewing shed/hut on a video of yours before but it must have been another footy youtuber.........Blair McNally maybe?
When i was learning english language (I'm german) during my service time in the german airforce, our teacher emphasized that the sports where you run with an egg shaped ball in your arms is called football, and the sports where you kick a round ball with your feet is called soccer. Now you are confusing me :-(
Yeah, because the ball is a foot long. (Of course that's just a joke and the real reason are the common roots of football and rugby and some sports originated from that!)
Have you ever seen anything like this before?!?!
@@JoshHodginsTrains I know Old Trafford's a bit run down, but that's harsh.
@gordon1545 haha needs 😆 reconstruction I support bolton wanderers
Marine FC (Liverpool I think) ground is very close to people's back gardens,

Heh.
I might have to move north of the border
Fun Fact Kevin McAllister who the Falkirk stand is named after played for the Juniors early in his career and is from Camelon.
Crunch the genius is fae Kemlin, awerite Kev !
Ain’t that the kid off home alone
That little stand is the coolest thing ever!
Hats off to the man.

I had the same thing with the 2000 season with Essendon in Aussie rules lost the only game I didn’t watch 😢

I want to see you canoe from Ibrox to Orkney FC. Put it on a Patreon and retire early 👑❤️🛶
Maybe one day!
The canal actually passes behind Firhill. Paddle the canoe from Hibs to Partick Thistle nil! I'd join you on my kayak, but I'm about a squillion years old. I'd happily sponsor you for that.
The playing surface is much better than Dens Park ….
😂
A Chinese paddy field is better than Dens😂, The Juniors pitch is actually top notch.
The main football you tuber by far 👏
Nice! I love fishing, I love pies and a bit of footy.
That is a nice ground, a little quirky. It looks well maintained and loved.
Speaking as an Annan fan, I like the four sides!
Great choice

If i was the owner of the ground maintenance company, I’d send a quote to Dundee
😂😂 dundee definitely should be hiring new ground staff @@mckenr07

That man is a legend honestly. Imagine if that club ever became really successful. Surely they’d have to name a stand after that guy right?
Nice to have had you at camelon. Had a good chat with you in the pavilion before the game
Camelon have a SFA licence which isn't surprising with all the off pitch work that has been done.
hes an afc wimbledon fan i like him
Another fantastic video Sam 👍
I definitely wanna see you can know from wherever to wherever that sounds awesome. Grab a couple plants along the way. Maybe even a few pints
I love this video Sam. I know it’s late but could you come to the Steins Thistle vs Cupar Hearts amateur Scottish cup semi final at the Falkirk Stadium tonight im a big fan ❤
Buckie pie! Only in Scotland. Mad Dog hot dogs next! My mate has a flat overlooking Newlandsfield. He buys a season ticket though.

Thats fucking class man.
Someone who puts thr "F" word in a sentence, talking about CLASS ,how ironic .

Only in America
I'm a Wimbledon fan just like Terry! His badges are great
Cycled past there yesterday. Looks a cracking wee ground with a lovely pitch
The majority of people in the Falkirk area know it as Kemlin.
Tell that to the guy who did the voiceovers for the cinema adverts.
@john-hl5tq Christ your going back a bit,you must be as old as me.
@@john-hl5tq lol peter clarks car parts used to cringe when that advert came on at the pictures.
Camelon played in their first junior cup final at Hampden park in 1952 the attendance was 69,959 ,they lost 1-0 .
@snpok524 Second biggest attendance ever at a junior cup final,amazing crowd,against Kilbirnie Ladeside.
"Poles of uncertainty." 🤣
Proud Kemlin boy here, chuffed to see this video!
Absolutely fantastic ground and club Camelon. Glad you managed to visit. Alan Moore as manager is a brilliant guy as well
Grew up 10 minutes from Camelon and still haven't a clue how to pronounce it 😂😂
Yeah I spoke to Alan for a while off camera. Really nice guy and a great club!
@RossParker1877 Mate if your 10 minutes fae Camelon you surely know it's pronounced Kemlin.
@johngreenhorn8853 other side of the Castlecary Viaduct lol. Where accents go to die
@@RossParker1877 Maybe give you a pass on that one your maybe a wee bit further away than I thought,for some reason I was thinking 10 minutes walking distance,probably because I don't drive.
This ground is the epitome of a great small club, fantastic
Game of 2 halves & a stand of roughly 3% Brilliant stuff!!
Can that guy not get one or two local Ultras into the smallest stand in Scotland?
That man in the Wimbledon coat was right, that does look like a great non league ground. Maybe I'll visit one day, but it is 4 hours away!
Immaculate stadium/pitch. Fair play to everyone behind the scenes 👏👏👏

My dad used to take to Camelon games when Falkirk were playing away. I'm 46 now and think the poles of uncertainty are older than me😂
That pitch is absolutely beautiful for a 7th tier Scottish with 5 matches remaining (at the time of filming)
Button vendor repping the Wombles. I was like... "wait I know that badge". Hope John Green is proud of me.
The stand....Brilliant!! 🤣🤣🤣
That little stand reminds me of the Chicago Cubs, some of the surrounding blocks of flats have little stands on the roof that look down into the ballpark.
Bit different from Wrigley Field 😂
loved this , brilliant video
I'd watch the hell out of a canoeing from hibs to Ibrox video
I used to live in Camelon, and watched Camelon for 8 years, was at Motherwell when they beat Whitburn 2-1 to lift the Scottish Junior Cup, even East Stirling played there
This ground is better than some of the Rugby League grounds in England. Quality
Brilliant Sam. How do you find these places.
It always amazes me that junior teams can have better pitches than "top tier" teams(Dundee)
The difference is, that Camelon spend money on their park. Dundee doesn't. All the talk of new stadium plans at Dundee is a sideshow and distraction by those in charge. You can clearly see they are not maintaining what is there.
My beer garden that gives me a view behind the goals at my local club in Australia 👌
Great Video
I left a comment a while back about visiting Camelon and glad you have from a larbert boy
Here in Brazil, we have great structures, and others like that. 🇧🇷
Brazil has an amazing football culture from top to bottom
Got to love seeing the club I grew up with in my street be on here
That was a cool video. Thanks
Absolutely love this from the fan!
Brilliant vid pal🎉
CRACKING LOOKING WEE STADIUM
Another great video Sam, but why doesn't the guy who built a stand in his own garden just pay at the gate and support the club financially ( or maybe he does?)
ive got one of terrys badges for lewes fc, the qualities great. keep up the good videos mate!

muy bonito estadio. se ha de ver espectacular verlo en vivo.
2 small observations. 1, roll necks not for everyone. 2, sausage rolls on pies, never the other way around.
Amazing. Unbelievable. Love it!
That guys jacket is trying to suffocate him 😂
Definitely cool (what this guy did), but… eham… since he’s not paying for match tickets (or pies, or coffee/tea), I hope he supports his club financially in some other way(?)… Just saying…

a bodged-together makeshift stand at the bottom of your garden is living the dream
Another brilliant video!
You sound exactly like Max McCann (he is the tiktok guy that started Maxi's seasonings)
cool ground, really good pitch & that stand is sweet as 👏🏼🇳🇿
A stand in his back garden, that’s epic 😊
I was brought up where that guys stand is in fairly gardens great memories
That's all over Africa, South America, They know how to enjoy the game for the game
Footy you should definitely visit Kilsyth Rangers Fc seeing as you have never visited a team in Kilsyth 👍🏼👊🏼
its camelon this is the least unusual thing youd find ,take a walk down the main street or glasgow road ahah
Christ yeah.
Went to see them play Whitburn a few month back... I didn't even see that stand there... I stood right in front of it second half as well! 👀🤣
Nice to see a Scottish Non League ground with its own Corporate Box.
Ah man that stand is brilliant 👏🏻
Keep it up Sam❤
Now I have new dream 😂 to by a house and build The Stand 😂
It IS a lovely wee ground - but a Buckfast-pie - I dunno!!
This reminds me of the rooftop bleachers on the houses across from wrigley field
100% we need a video from that little stand
Sontarans taking over Scottish football by stealth?
I thought that I had commented on this guy's viewing shed/hut on a video of yours before but it must have been another footy youtuber.........Blair McNally maybe?
Ground looks better than the soulless Falkirk FC up the road
He should spend money on improving his stand - then offer corporate tickets to local businesses.
Bros speaking facts
Leyton Orient have four blocks of flats around the ground, you can rent an Airbnb and watch a match
When Arsenal were at Highbury people would climb on to the roofs of flats behind the Clock End and watch the match.
Ima go and live at Ibrox and make the 55 titles stand🎉🎉🎉
nice video mate!
