I'm from South America so I'm sure you folks from Europe may have a different point of view: Some of those old grounds looked great! Was it really necessary to move to new stadiums or completely reconstruct them? They look like your regular "Ronald Mc Donald Colloseums" from the States now. Part of what makes English football important was the fact that those stadiums had a very distinctive architecture and decades of history.
With some stadiums, it was a case of the facilities being simply too old, they were just falling apart or weren't up to standard any more. Wembley was iconic and historic, but it had to be changed because it was so old. Plus it's all the money in football today. The players, businessmen, delegates etc. are expecting a first class experience.
Some of the old stadiums have the best atmosphere for example Fratton Park, Portsmouth or Selhurst Park, Crystal Palace. But its impossible to tell if its just because of an old style stadium or because the fans are genuinely local supporters proud of their town. I think its a mixture of both.
You are absolutely right, look at white heart lane, highbury, maine road and more. Those were the stadiums that you came for as a football fan from europe, luckely theres still old trafford, stamford bridge and many more.
Normaal07schoonebeek And when today's kids are older, they'll be talking about the new White Hart Lane, Emirates etc. with the same nostalgia. Especially if they become kinda pointless with TV money by then.
It's all money today, new stadiums fit more private boxes and host office space exc. And in many cases it's cheaper to move out of a old stadium and into a new one rather then renovation of an old stadium. Renovation in many cases is to difficult and expensive. In some cases you have clubs who moved out of the old stadium and old neighbourhood and now play miles away from the original location in some rural area. (Bolton). Then you have clubs that moved stadiums but managed to stay in the same general neighbourhood (Arsenal, Cardiff). Then you have Tottenham, they couldn't find any land to build on in North London, so they decided to rebuild a new stadium on the same land as the previous stadium, while temporary playing at Wembley for the mean time. You have many other clubs looking to build new stadiums or renovate the old stadiums. Teams like Chelsea, QPR, or Crystal Palace find it difficult to find any available near by land to build on in London and might only have the option of renovations.
Exactly...and when is "Then"? Some of them have pictures from the 1800's and some, Anfield and Old Trafford being two that spring to mind are from the 1990's. In all a rubbish video made in about 8 minutes by googling the first picture they could find for each stadium
0:04 Dean Court 0:19 Highbury Stadium / Emirates Stadium 0:34 Goldstone Ground / Amex Stadium 0:49 Turf Moor 1:04 Stamford Bridge 1:19 Selhurst Park 1:34 Goodison Park 1:49 Leeds Road / John Smith's Stadium 2:04 Filbert Street / King Power Stadium 2:19 Anfield 2:34 Maine Road / Etihad Stadium 2:48 Old Trafford 3:03 St James' Park 3:18 The Dell / St Mary's Stadium 3:33 Victoria Ground / bet365 Stadium 3:48 Vetch Field / Liberty Stadium 4:03 White Hart Lane / New Tottenham Stadium 4:18 Vicarage Road 4:33 The Hawthorns 4:48 Boleyn Ground / London Stadium
That list makes it easier to tot up how many of those I haven't been to to watch a match at some time or other - 7 (Dean Court,Leeds Road,The Dell,the Victoria Ground,the Vetch Field and the London Stadium,where I tried to get tickets for the 2012 Olympics but was unsuccessful,plus of course Tottenham's new stadium).
I would love it if EA added classic stadiums like Highbury, Maine Road, Boleyn Ground and many others into Fifa. And maybe you could choose which ground to play in with that team in Career Mode
It’s nice, one of the best in the country. But it has zero history, which is why it’s nowhere near iconic stadia like Old Trafford, Anfield. Highbury was a football stadium. The Emirates is a cinema.
The before picture was before the Anfield Road end was done but after the Kop was revamped, so two sides have changes in the pics. This would date the picture to between 1994 and 1998.
Great to see Dean Court as it was in 1910. My Great Grandfather was the AFC Bournemouth (then Boscombe) goalkeeper for the first ever game at that venue.
I went there 5 times and it usually had a good proper football atmosphere,though there were a few corners where the view wasn't brilliant,not the only old London ground for that to be the case. Does the size of the London Stadium,and perhaps the distance from the stands to the pitch,make it difficult to generate an atmosphere?
I like most of the former stadiums more than the new ones, because they had no commercial names and were settled in the middel of the town. In my opinion, the ambiance of the stadiums nowadays has decreased. I not only notice this in England, but also in other countries.
Old stadia looked and FELT better, or more interesting I should say. Built much like an old family house, where you adjust to the new needs, building and adding step by step. They had a human character and of course, they produced extremely better atmosphere. Proper HOME GROUNDS. Modern grounds are more suited to provide comfort, safety and maximize profit but are completely soulless. Or perhaps its the fans that have become different. Or both.
The first time I went to Stamford Bridge was in the 1980s and my lasting memory was of the Reliant Robin's behind the goal in front of the shed end with the wind howling and them shaking let hell, it must have been some experience watching a game sat in one of those!!!
🖕Qatar and there corrupt oil money 💰 They don't deserve to host the World Cup. I 🙏Qatar get hammered in everyone of their group games. FIFA can go and get a big dog right up their, ask me later what I really think of the whole football governing body.
In many ways, atmosphere at a lot of clubs gets dropped off when they leave an older more terraced ground etc. But there still has to come a point when you modernise and try to adapt, otherwise the only stadiums your left with are rusty old concrete slabs that can barely rival the average polish sides grounds.
An interesting topic, but three thoughts: 1) Shouldn't the title be 'Premier League clubs and their stadiums in the past' - I'd be quite interested to see the flats on Highbury or the Dell but these weren't shown. 2) You haven't used the latest photos of some stadia - Etihad and Stoke have been upgraded recently. 3) As some have mentioned, the time of the 'old' photo isn't mentioned and in some cases it really wasn't from very long ago. Still if you do it again for next season you won't need to worry about the latest picture of the Stoke ground.
I long for the old days. Crappy grounds often as not, but great atmosphere. These days the stadia might look better (or maybe not) but the modern day supporters seem to be sterile, middle-class tosspots.
Brighton, Huddersfield, Leicester, Man.City, Southampton, Stoke, Swansea and West Ham all play at new stadiums that are not on the site of their old grounds, so they do not fit with the title of your video.
The Old Goodison (Pre 1969) was just beautiful. The Only thing that's the same is the bodies of The Bullens Road And Gladwys Street Stands. Changed A lot actually.
A lot of it boils down to the need to modernise. Quite a few of these old grounds simply cannot easily accommodate the requirements of the Taylor report with the available space, or they are becoming too costly to maintain
Arsenal were the only club to preserve their former home into a sort of memorial, owing to the fact two of the stands were listed buildings, they were converted into apartments with the two end stands demolished and the pitch itself turned into a giant courtyard, where the centre spot was now has a plaque on it which was a very nice touch.
As a Guy who has attended thousands of games since 1962 let me say that this is deceptive. Perfect example is West Ham, because if you look at this without knowing ,you would think the current ground is better but 98% of Hammers fans would have preferred the smaller, intense Bearpit that was Upton Park. Just look at the old atmosperes , especially, when you could stand and there is little comparison to the bland nature of some of these ASS ( All-Seater Stadiums). Ironically the exception will be Spurs who are in their same road, literally, next door and will have a 17,000 Home End worthy of the name.
Lewis Rankin will they ever settle down and find a home other than Woolwich. If Man City are nicknamed the citizens they should be called the tourists.
Hmm, I think a better job could have been made on these to be honest. It would have been better if you could find a picture of each club's ground at the same point in history, say 1980 for example. The comparisons would be much more interesting
StepIntoTomorrow Agree. Plus, there were examples where the club’s stadia had changed physical location, and others where there had obviously been a significant facelift renovation (personally find the latter more interesting) and more aligned to the tag lines of THEN versus NOW
you got the date of St James' Park wrong...it was used as a football ground in 1880 for Newcastle Rangers and earlier in the 1860s for Stanley cricket club...the date of its original opening is unknown but sometime after 1844.
Great to see the comparisons I would also like to have seen the old vs new record attendances and/or capacities at each of the respective venues. But enjoyed all the same....

Why are people whining about: "why did they moved to another stadium, "why did they shape the stadium that way" Give me a break please. Its about number of seats (number of tickets to be sold) and how to build a club. Doesnt matter, if something new is built, people are complaining. I loved the wooden seats at Craven cottage, I loved how anfield looked like, but lets face it, even football is in pogress. If a new company that makes video games or something that u guys love make a few or more improvements on their building, would you ask why? or may be its about getting in line and be there for the next decade ot three
Interesting to see Leicester’s stadium is the same size as Southampton’s stadium. A premier league winner in the past 10 years and the previous FA cup winner has almost an identical stadium to the club that Leicester beat 9-0
??? Don't know what you're talking about. They're keeping it on the same site too ... way to go. Sons, Dads, Grandads all in the same piece of the universe watching the Spurs ...
No it didn't. You used to be allowed to have standing areas in football stadiums, meaning you could fit more people in. Following Hillsborough standing areas in the EFL are banned forever.
Stamford Bridge was 100,000 when the Baseball Ground was 42,000. Both inherently dangerous. I remember crushes and crowds spilling onto the pitch in the ‘60’s and 70’s. The installation of ‘pens’ meant that the Hillsborough disaster was an unfortunate and tragic inevitability. Same with Bradford and the wooden stand. There were 3 at Derby.....and everybody smoked in the 60’s. The only surprise is why nobody saw it coming!
100,000 seats?? actually it was 85 to 90,000 and that was mostly terracing With About 5,000 seats. And Even that was about half the capacity of Hampden Park. You're clueless.

Most look worse NOW. Except St James Park 3:08 👌
No it looks terrible
@@leecrooka6753 you 🤡🤡
2:20 that is not 1884 because Everton played at Anfield then there were most likely standing areas in the ground hence the name “stands”
The dates aren’t actually the dates photos were taken, but the date the stadium was first built. Surely that’s obvious?
Why are people whining about: "why did they moved to another stadium, "why did they shape the stadium that way" Give me a break please. Its about number of seats (number of tickets to be sold) and how to build a club. Doesnt matter, if something new is built, people are complaining. I loved the wooden seats at Craven cottage, I loved how anfield looked like, but lets face it, even football is in pogress. If a new company that makes video games or something that u guys love make a few or more improvements on their building, would you ask why? or may be its about getting in line and be there for the next decade ot three
Newcastle will win at least twice as many premier league titles than United will in the next 20 years
EPL stadiums looks like factories from the outside.
Josh Fernandez i wish england Will be great again
Hey TFC guys!
Out of curiosity, is it possible to edit a video after publishing it and update the frames of spurs stadium?
Interesting to see Leicester’s stadium is the same size as Southampton’s stadium. A premier league winner in the past 10 years and the previous FA cup winner has almost an identical stadium to the club that Leicester beat 9-0
I just wanna say, The Amex Stadium looks amazing 🤩
I agree 😊
Been past it a few times, on my list of stadia to visit!
I feel sorry for bolyn ground
Why?
I'm here in Italy watching this modern Stadiums and wondering if our Serie A will ever have same buildings. Maybe in 20 years.
Juve new stadium is great, and San Siro is still one of the best albeit very old.
Old trafford is the best
Haha am not indian u racist ..
By far
Yeah but that before picture was stupid because it was when they were doing construction on the stand
No.... anfield is the best
The days when chelsea used to have more cars parked behind the goal than spectators!
at least they could make a quick exit when the oppositions 3rd goal went in
AFC Bournemouth plays in Vitality Stadium
Ludwig Parthe Our Stadium is Dean Court 😆 Vitality is just the sponsor
Wow didn't know they had coloured photographs in the early 1900's. Learn something new every day.
How come pics from 1870s-1940s pics are in colour?
Thats the stadium build date not the picture date
I'm a massive Spurs fan but even I found it hilarious when they got to WHL. 😂
Best looking stadiums: Arsenal's, Brighton's, West Ham's and man city's
More than half are new stadiums and a good few have barely changed because the photos are from not that long ago. Only a couple showed actual changes.
IMO White hart lane looks so much better than the new spurs stadium. Just saying. Kappa
??? Don't know what you're talking about. They're keeping it on the same site too ... way to go. Sons, Dads, Grandads all in the same piece of the universe watching the Spurs ...
@David Crick
I was a joke. That's why I said "Kappa". lul
The music is so relaxing
4:13 😂
😂
Stamford bridge was a speedway track that’s what the oval was round the outside
Thats Old Trafford half finished ffs
Haha the Turf Moor photos, love how they just added more colour saturation and vibrance on the newer photo :D
Most of these aren’t the same stadiums
Turf moor, selhurst park and John Smith stadium
stamford bridge used to be a 100,000 seater stadium thank you very much
No it didn't. You used to be allowed to have standing areas in football stadiums, meaning you could fit more people in. Following Hillsborough standing areas in the EFL are banned forever.
During the period in Stamford bridges history when it could (legally) hold 100,000 fans, it only had 5,000 seats
Stamford Bridge was 100,000 when the Baseball Ground was 42,000. Both inherently dangerous. I remember crushes and crowds spilling onto the pitch in the ‘60’s and 70’s. The installation of ‘pens’ meant that the Hillsborough disaster was an unfortunate and tragic inevitability. Same with Bradford and the wooden stand. There were 3 at Derby.....and everybody smoked in the 60’s. The only surprise is why nobody saw it coming!
100,000 seats?? actually it was 85 to 90,000 and that was mostly terracing With About 5,000 seats. And Even that was about half the capacity of Hampden Park. You're clueless.
Remember when I used to upload videos like this ❤️
4:10 what?! 🤣
It's amazing looking back at how it was in yesteryear.
some of these stadia aren't the same as before.
Goldstone and AMEX are different, Filbert St and KP are different, Maine Rd and CoM are different
Loads more as well
