Probably Scottish league 1. Linfield, for example ,would be well beaten by a side like Kelly hearts. In England, the likes of Oldham would win the Irish league,so let's say non league in England
Can you teach him to pronounce the team name properly while he's there, it seems to be a thing among English youtubers that they pronounce it like they are going door to door selling avon
@@jbeattie02 Its the river avon that the english pronounce it as. Like glen-ayy-von. We pronounce it like glen-ahh-vun in reality. Oh and up the Port's 😉
@@jbeattie02 English can’t even pronounce English places because when AFC Bournemouth made it to the premier league & received attention for the first time since beating Man Utd 3 decades ago only one or two Talksport pundits could pronounce the city the way that everyone in southern England does. They’d all go “ Bourne - Mouth “ when every man & even his dog call it Bore - Muuf . Ironically a pissed off Notts Forest vlogger called them Boring Muuf ….🏴😁
I am from Greece i really really love all football associations except the rich one (spain england 1-3 division germany italy ) and I know every team in Europe from all levels even Amateurs .And from your tour around football teams and stadiums I love more my passion for these teams You are awesome.Greets from Greece
Really nice to see you give our local sides abit of publicity, as for 4 and 3g pitches they’re allowed at all levels in the Northern Irish League pyramid. They have similar promotion/relegation to Scotland between the pro leagues and amateur leagues. Seen you outside Shamrock Park but couldn’t stop for a chat as I was in a rush. Hope you enjoy your time here
Met with some Coleraine supporters back in 2000 when they travelled to see their team play Örgryte IS (Sweden) in the Uefa Cup. Had drinks after the game and they were absolute ace the lot of them!
What can I say ? You totally trumped me ! This was EXACTLY what I have wanted to do for about four years, but with my digital camera rather than a Go-Pro ... and you got access inside 10 out of 12 grounds too ! Superb effort ... Having seen the price of taking my car across on a ferry from Liverpool (8 hours journey !!) or hiring one in Belfast for a day or two after flying, I feel there is hardly any point in doing so after watching this, hats off young man ...
I am extremely so happy and heaping my praise on you for your hardwork to be visiting and doing your vlog for all the respective Northern Irish teams,good friend Sam!!!Keep your extremely so fantastic work and long live,good friend!!!:-D
Nice to watch the football from smaller leagues. I'm supporting the Danish club, Viborg FF, a club with some heritage from Britsh and Irish railway workers coming to Denmark in the mid/late 1800s, establishing some of the oldest clubs here. Viborg FF is an old club after Danish standards, the club dates back to 1896, but it was started as a cricket club back in 1865 - parhaps the first sports club in the country - The railroad workers had some connections with Celtic, so we share the green and white colours and the Shamrock in over logo. I've been playing in the cricket club for more than 30 years. I can see some of the same developments here as in the smaller clubs in Scotland, Ireland and Northern Ireland, and I find it fascinating, that my local club here in Denmark share so many things with the clubs in those three countries.
Glad to see you visited the one true home of football at 21:04! One thing - it is pronounced 'Glen-AH-von' instead of 'Glen-AY-von' (easy mistake to make tbf). Mourneview Park would be considered one of the best stadiums in the league, but there are elements of the ground that could do with a bit of a facelift now.
Great video, I’m from Ballymena - unfortunately you went to the wrong entrance to get in, it usually is very accessible at all times. It’s a really big, vibrant, atmospheric stadium full of chanting for the full 90! You have to come back for a game…would be happy to show you around.
This was great to see, someone visiting the stadiums around our country and experiencing them for the first time. I only wished you would have gotten inside the Ballymena Showgrounds, because it is a nice stadium and has excellent youth and training facilities.
I wasn’t in too good a mental health today but got the enthusiasm to switch computer tablet on & see what was suggested which wasn’t depressing or full of advice or attitude and there yours was. I love Geography History & Football and believe me your work has changed my afternoon. Cheers fella. Thank God you are full of infectious enthusiasm for these locations & teams 👍🏴❤️
Slight correction for when you said Linfield own Windsor Park. Linfield own the land its built on, the IFA own the stadium and pay Linfield rent for the land just. Other than that, i really enjoyable video mate, keep up the good work :)
Loved this. I've been to Glentoran, yes it is definitely old school. Most of the other grounds look very tidy though and I bet they have good atmosphere.
@@FootyAdventures did you go into their away end toilets ? No joke absolutely disgusting you have to piss up against a brick wall the smell is horrendous They are a totally disgusting club did they happen to tell you that they also have a CONVICTED SEX OFFENDER playing for them and also an IRA SYMPATHISER ? that club are rotten to the core real dirty bunch BELFAST LINFIELD CHAMPIONS🇬🇧
Mate I reckon your channel is going to blow up!! I don't know how the UA-cam algorithm works but I'm from Australia I'm not into soccer but I got recommended your videos and they're pretty good well done buddy
it is absolutely amazing what you are doing. you literally travelled the whole country😂thank you so much for these videos and i really appreciate the effort you go to. Northern Ireland’s not a bad wee place 😍🇬🇧
Sam u went down in my estimation when you said your a Liverpool fan ( I’m United so I’m sure your not surprised 😂😂) but seriously really enjoy your vlogs visiting so many wonderful and and unique grounds and petrol prices are nuts even here in the Philippines if that’s any consolation. Keep up the great work 👍
Just got back from the north. Was fortunate enough to walk into Solitude and the Oval. Absolute relics. Couple of stunning beauties; a time capsule of what football used to be. Solitude has a proper social club in it too. A real boozer. Don’t miss it next time! Definitely interested in a dedicated video to Belfast Celtic. What a story that is.
Me being from Carrick and a fan, it's a big thing that we're getting some more publicity as a league and some special visits, Hooe you enjoyed your time over.
totally enjoyed this epic trek round the Irish league their is H and W welders who play in the next tier which you could add to list having completed most Fai teams in the republic i need another trip to northern Ireland take in a game
You are amazing with your knowledge and research. We are in the close season and you travel everywhere. Its going to be amazing once you watch some live games again. Do you ever spend time at home lol
Newtownards (or simply Ards) was a top club for many years. What I found interesting about Ards ground is that it was next to a private airport and small planes would come into land from time to time ... you would nearly think if the goalie was to take a goal kick he might hit one the planes coming into land. lol
I will mention a new stand at Cliftonville FC will replace that old stand once the go-ahead comes through, plus renovation work on the other side of the ground is also on the to do list. The old house ( the cricket house ) was there from the beginning as solitude was first a cricket ground before it became a football ground.
It's a good wee ground. The Oval is definitely the best, though. I hope we get a game against you and Glens next year, having player Crusaders and Linfield this year.
The official name for that building at Solitude is 'The Whitehouse'. Some call it The Pavillion too. Don't think it's in the new plans for that side of the ground.
@@destobin4425 You could be right as all I ever knew it to be was the cricket house. I know through an uncle telling me where solitude is now was once a small cricket field compared to the bigger cricket field across the road back in the late 1800s. Today I have learned something new, good call Des .
Hi Sam, That was great. I particularly like the Glentoran stadium, and Newry too. Northern Ireland has produced its share of great players over the years, such as George Best, Pat Jennings and Martin O'Neill. Back in the 80s and 90s Luton and QPR had Astroturf/artificial pitches. The ball would bounce much higher than it would on grass and a sliding tackle could burn a player's leg. Is petrol any cheaper in the Republic? Looking forward to your next video.
The plastic pitches have improved since then! I have only ever been to one game on a synthetic pitch at Deepdale circa 1991, which was the last one to be removed.
Derry city and Finn harps aren’t to far away from there another to small clubs with a bit of history (Finn harps probably one of the smallest capacity stadiums in Ireland but has a good bunch of fans as it is a fan owned club)
Brilliant Sam! Been a follower of yours since the early days! Big Rangers fan but live in Larne! The club has really come on the past few years due to the good work of Kenny Bruce (purple bricks founder) you should do a video on it 🙂 keep up the great content mate!
I live just down the road from Drumbo Park stadium home of the once mighty Lisburn Distillery . Used to be a big team in the Irish League who now play in the third tier. Stadium is out in the countryside just outside Belfast and was once a greyhound track.
Barry Town FC are the most successful Welsh league side in Europe. Years ago they reached the 3rd round of the old UEFA cup, where they were knocked out by Aberdeen. In those days the 3rd round was the last round before the quarter finals
Regarding the 3g pitches they are a good revenue for clubs at this level. Solitude the home of Cliftonville is 5 mins drive from the tescos you where at ... and crusaders 5 mins the other way
Spent a month working on Belfast and made it a point to visit The Oval on a number of evenings. Incredible stadium, loved it. Shame they don’t have a passionate fan base though, atmosphere was dead dead dead! Big surprise to me.
If you're looking for content SuperCupNI is starting from the 24th July to the 29th July it's one of the best youth tournaments in the world, Beckham and his ilk have played in it, my m8 played against Joe Cole when he played for West Ham when it was known as The Milk Cup.
I started going to games here last season (I moved here right before Covid) and I'm Athoroughly Enjoying getting to as many away games as possible. I follow Glenavon for games, would be more than happy to drive you to a match when you come back over for one. Games are usually only £12 in... You really can't argue with that.
I love your vids mate, very interesting, I love learning about the smaller clubs around the country, im a scouser lpool fan and prefer rangers over Celtic but I like the way you’re on both sides and not just one
The old stand at portadown used to be the main stand, the bigger one on the other side used to be the shed end, partitioned down the middle with chain fence to separate the home and away fans, it is for the home fans now. The new wee one is now the away end and used to be terracing. They also had a stock car track around the outside of the pitch. The pitch used to be in some state because of it, ballymena had the same problem. Also good pronouncing coleraine with a little help from the radio 🤣 glenavon is said like aven not the river avon like you are saying it.
Loved it again .Linfieid would do great in the spfl (as a Celtic fan in saying that)They would be backed up financially big time and to be honest I would welcome them.
I was at the Irish Cup Final when Carrick Rangers beat the Big Favourites, Linfield FC. I was also at the Home Cup Winners Cup Tie v Southampton. Which wasn't played at Their own Stadium (Taylors Avenue?). As it didn't meet EUFA Standards! Instead it was staged at Seaview. (Crusaders FC) in Belfast. Keep it up my Friend...O
Crusaders have another record. On 21 August 1979 there were more than 1,900 police officers on duty for a match between Crusaders and Cliftonville, more than has ever been recorded at a football match in the United Kingdom
Where would the Northern Irish Premiership teams fall within the Scottish & English pyramid systems???
League 1 or 2 probably… I am from Northern Ireland and we have had some great players transfer over to league 1 or 2 team such as Trai Hume from linfield to Sunderland also i support Portadown and this is great to see for the Irish league
Please come to Derry

Probably Scottish league 1. Linfield, for example ,would be well beaten by a side like Kelly hearts. In England, the likes of Oldham would win the Irish league,so let's say non league in England
My dad is a Glentoran fan and I went to see a game and I would say about 6th division in England

Not a football stadium but you should have gone to Ravenhill where Ulster rugby play. Arguably the nicest stadium in Northern Ireland

A lot of money and therefore better players coming through the Irish League at the moment (Larne, Glens & Linfield) so it's definitely on the up.
