Dundee united are also the only club in world football to have a 100% competitive record against Barcelona. Played 4, won 4 🧡🖤
hey matt. my first season watching the chats last year 2023/2024 season. loved it. i understand the buzz around non league football. i get it!!! watched both of the playoffs. great magical atmosphere. never known it
Bore of we gor ur adam Campbell
It's stoke I hate to say it
I like the club crest and logo of Chatham. Very martime!
Massive Vale fan, home and away. Heartbreaking to admit but it is Stoke. Their seasons in thr top-flight boost it. Without them, it'd be much closer. Still, we carry on
Maybe you should try put Millwall against Leeds and Millwall against Cardiff
Do one today Pompey are better now
Albion r shit
What struck me about this video - and what a good job you’ve done, btw - is that although Pompey have the greater history, the big weaknesses are the ground and social media presence. I’m sure being outside the Prem is a big factor in both, but the club must address both if they are to have sustained success. Do it again in 5 years and let’s see who is on top! PuP
Horizontal stripes are enough to make an anorexic giraffe look like a fat b******.
QPR the biggest and the best supported. The other two grounds are full of tourists
They have grown much larger over the last few years, clubs can drop through the leagues just as quickly
southamptons seasons in the premier league: 24 portstmouths seasons in the premier league: 7 it baffles me how people think portsmouth are bigger nowadays, their fans cling on to their trophies from the 1940s
Fair point
You donut!!! You think we might finish off the stadium if we get promoted to the premier!!?? You MELT!! We already did!! That's why it looks like that now... Know your history!!
Michael, donot is spelt doughnut in the Uk, you doughnut 🍩😀
Craven cottage is probably my favourite ground in England.
Looking forward to visiting it for the channel 👍🏻
Can you still feed the ducks at half time from the back of the away stand?
@@Enuff947 I don't know, I haven't been there since 1977.
This is going to be good.
Thanks Arthur 👍🏻
Fucking beauty I miss paradise
👍🏻🏴
I didn't know too much about either of the two Bristol clubs until I watched this ~ But I think the 'Pirates', hand's down, have the 'coolest' Club Crest !
I’m glad I’m adding educational value 👍🏻 I suppose their badge is pretty decent, to be fair 👍🏻⚽️
Didn’t they get take over by a millionaire?
Looks like they have a new stadium on the horizon, also have a new badge and nickname, up the tinners 👍🏻⚽️
Fulham is very expensive for Premiership games you are much better off doing a cup match and getting a ticket in Jonny Hayes stand 120 years old next season.
I do try and visit the premier league grounds for cup games if possible, much cheaper 👍🏻⚽️
Great video Matt…always had a soft spot for Brentford as their fans sang in support of the fans of my club Cardiff who were against us playing in red few years back
I remember Cardiff playing in red, that caused a massive uproar, something to do with red being a lucky colour, is that right?
@@mattthegroundhopper9242 yes and some fans have never forgiven the board sadly
1. Fulham. Big stadium, wealthy, successful and stable in the prem. The highest attendance of the three, with a nice starium which is being extended and brought up to date. 2- Brentford. 2nd highest avg attendance, outgrown their stadium already. A good premier league team and very wealthy/established in the prem. News of them potentially buying Twickenham rugby stadoim to continue their growth. That would seat about 70,000 if it happens. Less than a rugby ground due to pitch size. 3-QPR quite a dated stadium they dont sell out, lots of empty seats. Chanpionship strugglers fallen on hard times with lots of growing debts. It seems like most of the local younger generations drift more toward Chelsea/Fulham/Brentford.
Thanks Mr Wabbit, great name 👍🏻 I didn’t know about Brentford looking to buy Twickenham, is that right?
rangers could not fill a 70k stadium
@@Thomasinoke they couldn't. That's why they're not bidding for it.
@@mattthegroundhopper9242 I thought it was nonsense but they've had quite advanced meetings about buying it. I can only guess that it's to possibly host European football in the future, I don't think Brentford need anywhere near 70k seats just yet. Maybe 25k, but land around there is very hard to come across.
@@mrwabbit9576 surely they can just expand their new stadium. I don't know why they would do that just yet. It's only been built recently!
This is one of these "Who is bigger" videos that is actually very close. QPR would be the most successful as they are the only one of the three to win a major trophy. I guess I would have to say Fulham but it's not by a lot.
LOL
@@Thomasinoke Who would you say is the bigger club then and why?.
@@historyoffootball87 qpr are riddled with debt and dwelling at the bottom of the championship with a very weak team. I wouldn't call them successful. Fulham and Brentford could be called successful. Both established in the premier league at this point, being run sustainably and making a lot of money.
@@mrwabbit9576 In terms of actual trophies won though QPR is the most successful, they are the only ones with a major honour, that is what I am alluding to.
Thank you as always for your comments, I thought it was going to be a tightish 3 way split before I started it
Nice one Matt.
Thanks Brian 🇦🇺👍🏻🐨🦘
Great video again mate
Thanks Lee, looking forward to seeing your summer content 👍🏻
@@mattthegroundhopper9242 there is stuff in the works
qpr had a great team back in the day marsh/bowles/givens/masson/gillard
Thanks Clive, growing up, even in the 80’s they had a decent team, regulars in my panini sticker albums 👍🏻
Before watching the video I'd say QPR. They've won a trophy and have the highest league finish (2nd in the old 1. division in 1975/76(?).
They definitely have the best honours list, unfortunately the other two clubs seem to have overtaken them
That's old history. Being a big club is mainly about the here and now no? QPR have been very much left behind by the other west London clubs. Saddled with debt and losing the younger generation to the other three.
Three nothing clubs just one trophy between the three utter jokes clubs.😆😅🤣
We have missed you, Isaac👍🏻
Whi do you support or are you just a arm chair assassin. 💺
fulham
fulham capacity is higher than 29k
@@Thomasinoke Everton Stadium is 55,0000 bigger than your ground QPR and Brentford.
@@IssacLHunt who the fuck cares about everton you lil nonce
@@IssacLHunt this isn't about everton you silly boy Issac L Hunt
I agree, also I know Craven Cottage has been heavily extended in the last few months with an ever increasing capacity, looking forward to my trip there 👍🏻
Fulham QPR then Brentford
Lol. Got the last two backward. Qpr are smaller. Lower league, lower attendances. Smaller all round.
I think currently Brentford has probably overtaken QPR, for now, swings and roundabouts 👍🏻
@@mrwabbit9576 Brentford have been a league one team all their history,they've recently gone up
@@R10xEditz not true though. This isn't Brentfords first top flight spell. Last time. When Brentford were finishing in the top 5 of the first division, QPR we're division 3 strugglers. QPR remained a lower league club and only emerged from lower leagues in the 70s, they've spent time in non league too. Brentford have never been a non league club since it's founding. Brentford have finished above QPR in the last 9 consecutive years. This coming season will mark the 4th consecutive year finishing a league above QPR. QPR beg the council for free land to build a stadium, meanwhile Brentford are holding meetings to buy 80k seater Twickenham despite already having a new stadium. QPR have been left behind by the other 3 west London clubs.
Dundee -------- coz "Dundee United Are Shyte" 😜
Got the big Dundee derby for next season, looking forward to them 👍🏻🏴
@@mattthegroundhopper9242 remember to take a Translator 😜
Wembley of the north my ar+e
??
lol….. Southampton fc top club on the south coast not like the poorer part of Hampshire
Still no Southampton versus Portsmouth derby, we keep on waiting
Thanks for all the nice comments on the Boro. 👍
Thanks Craig, no problem at all, I say things as I see them. I also sat with the Boro fans away to Millwall 👍🏻
Never in doubt
Presumably you are a Blackburn fan 👍🏻
@mattthegroundhopper9242 yes mate 👍
@@RubyMarkLindMillyhoping to get to Ewood Park next season for the channel 👍🏻⚽️
I'm sure you guys will go up eventually, you lot thumped us on boxing day and nyd.
Chelmsford seem to be the bridesmaids and never the bride
If you live here you'd understand what a silly question that is. Nothing against the Vale but Stoke are easily the bigger club however you measure 'bigness'.
Thank you for your comments, and the stats agree with you, so the silly question has been answered 👍🏻⚽️
@@mattthegroundhopper9242 I was maybe a bit harsh about the "silly question" Matt. We locals of course are aware of both clubs, but people from other parts may not be. It is ^propbably like me wondering about Gillingham and Maidstone....I have an idea but I don't really know. Anyway, thanks for your interest in both of us.
@@darrylshamrock👍🏻
I would love Portsmouth fc to go back into the Premier league again play on pompey ❤
Well, Daniel, you are now only one promotion away from achieving your dream ⬆️👍🏻
Is this Scottish non league ?
Behave, it was Scottish League 1
Oh no does that mean they have to play Dartford next season
The only silver lining for Chatham Town is that they now get to play Dartford and Dover in some Kent Derbies 👍🏻⚽️
You should be a bit smarter mate wolves had way more lows
Thanks Robert, I think I’m pretty smart, agreed Wolves have had more lows but they have also had a lot more highs ⬇️⬆️👍🏻⚽️
Portsmouth are the bigger club. End of discussion
I think I am kind of agreeing with you
Chatham Town missed how many chances in the first half oh well next season.
Missed opportunity, they will be under huge pressure next season
@@mattthegroundhopper9242 I squeezed right passed that old main stand to find a decent view in front of the two step metal terrace. The Bauvill Stadium could not handle 3,000 well at least Bauvill is an easy redevelopment with plenty of space.
@@MattGFC1977there is talk of redeveloping that stand hopefully within the next couple of seasons 👍🏻⚽️
There is no simple answer here, they are all bigger in different ways. Brighton is currently the highest ranked team (and arguably the largest local population of supporters to draw from), Portsmouth have the most trophies in their cabinet, Southampton have spent the longest period in the top flight, and Bournemouth have... what they have.
What a very diplomatic answer that is, you should be a politician👍🏻⚽️
@@mattthegroundhopper9242 well Bournemouth stayed up and now Saints are going up so glad to see we'll get 3 South Coast teams in the Prem again next season. I predict Brighton will probably finish highest, Saints may go straight back down but as a Saints fan I hope not lol
Was there ..briliant day
👍🏻
Yeah, wasn’t a 3-0 game, was a 4-0 ;) Great vid. I think Chatham will be right back up there again next year.
Haha, very good, I was told the disallowed goal was a dodgy decision but I couldn’t tell from my angle
Unlucky Chats but there is always next season Matt.Dont even think about being biased mate. You and me are from the area, even though we have both left the area. I went to school in Chatham. Highfield was at the top of the hill going up from Chatham station. Got my O levels there and started my apprenticeship in Rochester. Talking about your weather. Well i am up on the Baltic Coast at a place called Zingst, and its been sunny and warm for the past 2 weeks. I will try and send you some lol. Enjoy your summer Matt, and lets look forward to an improvement at the Gills next season. No doubt you will be bringing a few more vids out before the end of the season though, and be marking off your list again in august. Shame that the Chats didnt make it, but they have come along way in these past few seasons. All the best Dave
Thanks Berlin Dave, my dad went to Highfield, top of Ordnance Street, no longer with us but he was born in 1947
Don’t you know pump it up the town are going up 🔵⚪️🔵⚪️
I kept hearing that song the other day
The issue of southern-based teams playing in the National League North will continue as long as we have a non-league pyramid where three of the four feeder leagues to step 2 are composed mainly of clubs located south of Birmingham. In an ideal world this wouldn't be a problem - you join the National League, the clue's in the name - but as things stand it places sides from a certain part of the country at a real disadvantage because of the travelling costs they incur. As supporters of Bishops Stortford this season - and perhaps Needham Market and Chesham United next season - will confirm.
Thanks Richard, the problem is that we need to draw a line somewhere to divide north and south and the higher up the pyramid you go the more travelling you have to expect to do
