5:40 The contrast is there because our owner forgot that we are nicknamed 'The Bluebirds' and decided to change our main colour from blue to red. He's Malaysian so thought he could sell more shirts in the Asian market where red is a lucky colour. When the extension was built, we were still playing in red before we, rightly, reverted back to blue. The red seats were installed and no idea if they planned to change the seats in the entire stadium, but at least Wales plays in red so we still have that connection, and the Wales team often plays international matches there.
Not everywhere, in Hindu Nepal and India, orange and yellow are holy so close enough. Nepali language doesn't have a word for orange so some people call orange as red as well.🙂
And yet, Swansea are the better team, they won the double (won against Cardiff at home and away, no one has done it in 110 years) And Cardiff got No goals for either leg, first 3-0 and then 4-0
Having the hawthorns called a ‘cracking little stadium’ and also remembering it’s the highest ground above sea level, is the best things that’s happened to us in ages
The Riverside stadium in Middlesbrough always looks very well looked after and I love the contrast of the red and white seating next to the lush green grass.
Deepdale wasn't built at one go. It took almost 20 years to get to its current state. However it was planned as a coherent rebuild by its architect, who you rightly point out based it on a low budget version of Genoa's
The away end at Luton is literally like walking through someones house and backgarden to get into, you feel like you've took a wrong turn. Love different though and that was different when they were all different. Old grounds or pre late 90s video, impressions and entertainment woul be nice.
The most interesting thing you could have said about Stoke City's Bet365 stadium (formerly the Britannia stadium) is that Sir Stanley Matthews' ashes are buried under the center circle.
Fun personal fact about Craven Cottage. I was once given tickets to go to a match there, went to order some beers in a tiny bar which seemed a bit hidden away in one of the stands.. and Hugh Grant was standing right next to me. It was so bloody surreal. Nice ground though, it has character that a lot of the identikit modern grounds don't have.
I have seen my team play at every one of those stadiums, apart from Deepdale and the New Den. However, I’d seen us play on a few occasions at the rather salubrious ‘old’ Den. Love from a West Ham supporter 😘⚒️😂
Thanks for the advice on my visit to Millwall, I’ll definitely be wearing a West Ham shirt as I’d love a cup of tea especially as I love to get good and drunk before a game!
Glad you liked our stadium, the in the winter the Hawthorns is bloooooooming cold. The images of inside the ground are about 10years old, as there is no "scarf" design on the seats any more. Boing Boing!! WBA.
Love your content! It's given me a shit ton of laughs. I'd like to make a request. A video about the Nordic stadiums (Iceland, Greenland, Faroe Islands, Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Finland). Format up to you, if you'd like to rank 'em or whatever.
Millwalls Den was the first to be designed in the wake of the Hillsborough disaster and so would have had a good bit of health and safety in mind in the design
The stands at Deepdale were not built all at the same time, the Sir Tom Finney stand replaced the old west stand 1995, Bill Shankley Kop 1998, Allen Kelly Town end 2001 and The invincibles Pavilion 2008, although all had been planned at the same time. You didn't mention the pictures of the three players in their appropriate stands made by various coloured seating.
I really love the Championship! So many iconic clubs, three derbies in Lancashire (Preston, Blackburn, Blackpool) and it hosts the Welsh derby (Swansea vs. Cardiff). Some very unique clubs such as Millwall. From my perspective, this is a much more interesting competition than the Premiership where you're just watching investments from billionaires for unaffordable ticket prices, not to mention the rising number of 'modern stadiums' in the PL (this hit rock bottom for me since the announcement of Everton leaving the 'grand old lady') instead of these old-fashioned, charming and lovely stadiums you can find in the Championship and below, which still represent the specific and unique character of British football. Probably I'm a desperate romantic. But stadiums such as Kenilworth Road were built for their own neighborhood, not for people watching Pay TV in China, in the Middle East or in the US and thereby grabbing more and more money. Best regards from Germany
Totally agree. I'm in preston and our stadiums were all built for local ppl, not fair weather fans in Hong Kong who pretend to be Liverpool fans this week and then Chelsea fans next week. The true heart of football is the old local clubs. I think only England and Germany has such a strong 2nd tier scene.
Glorious Ashton Gate. our spiritual home. Loved the ground before it's part redevelopment but they've done a fantastic job to a very high standard. So glad we stayed on 'our patch' in the community where we have been for 120 years. COYR 🔴⚪🔴⚪
13:56 - good man. I'm surprised you didn't make more of the Bridgeford end, I know that a lot of people tend to give its asymmetry. I'm wondering what will happen to it when they redevelop the old "main" (Peter Taylor) stand - i remember going in the ticket office in the early 2000's and they had the redeveloped main stand on the city gr. Growing up I always wondered why the main stand was the smallest.
Reading Fan. Of course I'll always miss Elm Park, but Madejski has been in my life longer now which is crazy. In 1998 it would have been a top quality new stadium. Now dull bowls seem to be the norm
Love the Aussie humour Great descriptions of the league's football stadiums You got yourself a sub. Have you done the A-league yet?? Hello from Wollongong
Very interesting stuff. You did Low-A minor league baseball stadiums already; what about some of the lower tier football/soccer pitches around Britain?
QPR's ground has a great atmosphere when it's full, but my God, the away end is the most cramped and uncomfortable I've ever been in. Zero leg room, with the back of the seat in front buried two inches in your kneecaps.
I’ve been to all bar Cardiff and Bournemouth. The older and more run down grounds are full of character which I love. Hull would be probably the least enjoyable.
Someone that finally spoke highly of the kcom lol, its a shame our club is being run into the ground by the owner. The atmosphere used to be amazing, now so many people boycott games because of the owner which really kills the atmosphere, we rarely get more than 15000 attendance per game
Ah yes the River Thaymez, my personal favourite
haghaaaaaaa ive just laughed at that hahaaaa i can go work now
I had to pause it , and just sat in disbelief 🤣
I carried on watching and he corrected himself , I can sleep safely tonight again now 😂

Lol, look up hooliganism and Millwall particularly pre-Heysel.
So Millwall are in the shadow of Liverpool you're saying
not an english, but first time i knew about Millwall and their stadium called "The Den"...
pretty much sums all that up lol

It is and we have one of the best if not the best supporters in the league 👍🏼

As a Millwall fan, the bit on Millwall was class 😂😂
Even as an American I know Millwall's reputation being a bit different to what you described them as being lol.
There clearly not sweethearts if you meet the fans
You're right. That was a very Posh stand

Just make sure to carry health insurance in case the milk in your tea is past its expiration date.

It's mad how our championship stadiums are better and more modern than the Italian top division
I love this channel
You keep making me wanna switch teams on fifa you son of a bitch hahaha I'm now FC Porto after watching the champions league one lol.

Hello from Wollongong
Readings Ground has recently been renamed as The Select Car Leasing Stadium they sold the naming rights to a Local Car Leasing Company.
I'd love to see a video of cricket grounds of Zimbabwe. Including kwekwe, Mutare, and the lesser grounds of Harare and Bulawayo
Ha ha he repeats River Thaymez twice and then points out he misquotes Thaymez. It's a classic. Great video tho.
Champions Cup 2021/22 Rugby Stadiums would be good and Include some beautiful stadiums you’ve probably not seen
bro was spitting bars at the end
LMAO. i ALWAYS COME BACK FOR THE MONKEY BIT
Can you do English League 1 2021-22 please. Thank you
You are awesome!
the part where you talk about Coventry and the wasps was hilarious. "wasps is spelt W A S P S"
good videos! Where's your accent from?
“That was a spicy cover drive” 😂
Very interesting stuff. You did Low-A minor league baseball stadiums already; what about some of the lower tier football/soccer pitches around Britain?
