Jakepetrolhead the stadium was sponsored by McCain’s which was one of the main job providers in the area and the fans decided to name it the “theatre of chips” as an homage to that
That was a name conjured up partly by that God awful peddler of lies, hate and tits The Sun when we played Chelsea in the FA Cup. Prior to that it was always referred to as the Athletic Ground, Seamer Road or McCain Stadium by the chaps. The Sun was using the term to take the piss out of the little team from the seaside, because like most publications suitable only for backside wiping, they view anything outside the Premiership as just a quaint sideshow, SMFH.
@@Paddyboro Having followed Scarborough away from home for a while in the early 2000s we'd sing "where were you at Seamer Road" to teams with poor away support but big home followings. NOBODY EVER REFERRED TO THE GROUND AS THE THEATRE OF CHIPS.
I really enjoyed this. Thanks. As a Stockport supporter I've been to the the old McCain Stadium in Scarborough a couple of times. I think that it must be further away from the nearest pub than any in the country. I hope, for Scarborough fans, that wherever they settle is more convenient and better supplied by local hostelries.
Nunhead FC, the ground is now part of school playing fields, outline of the the old stand can be made on airborne pics. Dennis Compton, last man to play for England in both cricket and football international teams started his football career there. They were big in the 30s
Great research as always Luke! Really sad story about some stadiums though. Would be nice to see the few existing stadiums on this list to be reopened after a real upgrade of course!
I used to be a regular visitor to The Firs (number 1!). One of the lads I used to go with was then teenaged Scott Ramsay who went on to make 35 appearances for my main club, Brighton & Hove Albion. The Pilot Field, next door was the first of the 170 football grounds that I have visited.
Always remember been in darlingtons away end, the guy in the end house had one of the floodlights at the bottom of his garden growing his beans up it 😂
Washington fc's old ground in Washington is abandoned idk the capacity of it but like its fucking sick to walk onto as a fence fell over but someone set the bar next to it on fire
What happened at Scarborough was a fucking joke. The council banned us from selling the ground which would have kept the club going as well as enabled us to build a new ground
I can't believe Rushden & Diamonds stadium was demolished it was still in good condition, could some other team not made use of it, all that money wasted building it.
Another good vid, but I do have a correction....... The correct pronunciation of “Beaconsfield” (where Hayes and Yeading United ground shared) is “Beck-uns-field”.
AldershotDave Only the rich twats that live there pronounce it as you describe, the rest of us commoners in Slough call it BEACONS field, they hate it !
Thanks for adding Kettering Town’s spiritual home Rockingham Road! Onwards to the National League North and hopefully a new stadium too! Up the Poppies!
darlingtons ground was not demolished as the remaining kop aka shed end was relocated to the new club at drufc ground where they share scarboros ground same the end stands seamer road and the away stand are at featherstone rovers rlfc to increase seating for superleague regulation and parts of the old main stand went to scarboro rfc
My mum lives around the corner from Pilot Field (Hastings United’s stadium). I feel as though I have seen the abandoned stands when walking by without knowing the significance behind them. On a separate note, the current ground also used to be a Speedway track, which can still be made out in the photos/satellite images.
Still can't believe Nene Park got tore down. What a great EFL type stadium it was. Still can't believe Coventry didn't go there but instead ground-shared with Northampton. Oh how they need a ground now.
Add the Athletic Ground the oldest ground in south Wales which was the home to Treharris Athletic of the Welsh League. Treharris used to be in the Western League and the Southern League back in the day with Walsall, Chesham, Portsmouth, Kettering, plus Merthyr, Swansea, Cardiff and Aberdare.
I actually played for Leyton's Res team during there last few years of existence was a nice compact little ground the pitch was like a carpet how it's been allowed to get in the condition it is now is a real heads gone. Hayes ground before they redeveloped it was horrible. The pitch was bigger than most grounds. Played at Aylesbury utd's ground had a very nice set up, the grass was immaculate. Englands team with the last of golden era players actually trained there. Such a shame its gone to ruins. Lot of old football history in the vid nice 1.
Didn’t their Chairman pulled off one audacious signing with the Brazilian National Team guy whom didn’t realise they were in Division 3 or 4 - to then quickly disappear again ?
As Redditch United fan I've always dreamed of a decent ground. I've always thought that a town that's bigger than Burnley, should have a better supported team. However the town just doesn't follow the club and that's why we'll never have a good ground. Home crowds of a few hundred is shocking for a town of nearly 90,000.
There were three grounds formerly in Milton Keynes now gone, wolverton town formerly isthmian league now a recreation facility but still has the countries oldest stand in place ( plenty of photos of that ) Milton Keynes city who played at manor fields in the southern league ( again plenty of photos ) and Milton Keynes borough Hellenic league on who's ground now sits the MK Dons stadium. A little research will give you all you need.
Hopefully Gloucester City have builders smart enough to raise the ground level- just in case ! If they’re your team , best of luck. My fave team had dear old Dean Court until 2001 but could’ve disappeared 10 seasons ago so all you fans in peril , it CAN get better. 😁
Washington United old stadium is now abandoned after the club mcdied its now abandoned and a nice place to hang out. Its in concord washington sunderland or Newcastle im not sure
So sad to see the Rushden & Diamonds ground, ruined by poor management and a chairman who never really wanted football on the ground. Wouldn't be surprised to see it become housing to go with the supermarket just built across the road, despite planning permission being refused several times, but we all know what that means....
nfu have reformed and the humber premier league and hull sunday league games are still there now so its not abandoned , it cannot be used for anything else as the convanent restricts it to sporting recreation of the people of ferriby
Does anybody know of any abandoned football stadiums in the north (Yorkshire Area)? I know if Rotherham’s old stadium that I’m looking to go and visit and wanted to know of anymore I could potentially go to as well

As a Stevenage fan I always wanted our ground to be like Rushden & Diamonds . What a stadium that was. Now all gone .
I still can't get over the fact there was an actual stadium called "The Theatre Of Chips".
Jakepetrolhead the stadium was sponsored by McCain’s which was one of the main job providers in the area and the fans decided to name it the “theatre of chips” as an homage to that
🔝name. Fantastic.
Many a happy and sad Saturday afternoon was spent in the theatre of chips, my fantasy league teams are still called Theatre of Chips FC

This is the saddest UA-cam video. Shocking to see years of hard work and football history just wiped out
The first one, Yeading's The Warren, was the ground where all the match scenes in the Bend It Like Beckham movie were filmed.
Brilliant vid mate! Really enjoyed this
2:55, that stand was one of the background pictures on CM97’98
Went to well over 100 games at Aylesbury Utd some great memories.
I remember going to Aylesbury uniteds ground in a pre season game years ago with my team Swindon Town.
Glad to see a fellow town fan, a rare moment these days😂😂😂

Thanks, and I agree 100% - these stadiums have lots of history so it's sad to see them as shells of there past.

These are some really interesting Top abandoned non 10 league stadiums
Always remember been in darlingtons away end, the guy in the end house had one of the floodlights at the bottom of his garden growing his beans up it 😂
Central Park Stadium in Sittingbounre, though not toally abandoned.
Washington fc's old ground in Washington is abandoned idk the capacity of it but like its fucking sick to walk onto as a fence fell over but someone set the bar next to it on fire
Interesting fact about Aylesbury Uniteds ground. They are the only non league team to play and England 11
What happened at Scarborough was a fucking joke. The council banned us from selling the ground which would have kept the club going as well as enabled us to build a new ground
Class mate, watch all your video but definitely the best video love this subject I love yeddings
I can't believe Rushden & Diamonds stadium was demolished it was still in good condition, could some other team not made use of it, all that money wasted building it.
Kettering Town did after our ground rockingham road was knocked down n we moved to nene Park... then repeat business with Kettering again
Loving this channel - on an absolute marathon watch. I came here by pure chance. You should have the name Non-League UA-cam.
Another good vid, but I do have a correction.......
The correct pronunciation of “Beaconsfield” (where Hayes and Yeading United ground shared) is “Beck-uns-field”.
Thanks👌
Then bloody spell it with a K. Bekonsfield......

I knew a Kettering fan when I was in the RAF, ingrained on my memory is the song "With a K and an E and a double TT an E and R and an I N G etc, etc"

skelmersdale united have an abandoned stadium but there getting a new stadium built right now and it's looking good.
Can’t be looking that good ur going down lad
Great video 👍
I've been to over half of those grounds, but didn't realise some of them were now abandoned 😳
I swear you have a permanent sponsorship with one football fair play Soul lad the videos are great
Good video.
Very interesting!! I used to live in Hastings & St Leonards, thats wierd seeing that after 20+ years. Love this channel!!
Another good vid! Hoping the Harriers can get to the playoffs!
Good knowledge bro 👍
Stand Athletic F.C near Bury, their ground has been abandond for over a decade and is visible from the railway line that runs past it.
This video gives me chills for some reason
Gloucester moved back.
Thurrock fc have their stadium, Ship Lane, abandoned
I’m a subcriber watching him and watch Leyton orient on tv and got back to league 2
I waited for a video like this
I live round the corner from Buckingham Road Stadium 🤣🤣
I've been to two abandoned football grounds
Stand athletic fc and formby fc
Could you do "Football/Non-league clubs that were liquidated and have disappeared
1:15
The church (potter house) that I go to. We park our car there now.
Could have had Billingham Synthonia’s Central Ground on this
2 mins from my house haha
True - it was another candidate for this list
Add Basingstoke fc to your list
#3 💔
Darlington are always on these videos ⚫️⚪️
A club with plenty of history finds its way into many top 10 lists 😉
NLYT Luke could you give my channel a shoutout have you been to the new Darlington ground with kiddy?
Didn’t their Chairman pulled off one audacious signing with the Brazilian National Team guy whom didn’t realise they were in Division 3 or 4 - to then quickly disappear again ?
Stephen Gale do u mean the guy from Newcastle that scored goals for fun in the premier league years ago we were in the brink of getting him
That Diamonds pitch looked awesome for what it is. Could have been great for women's football.

Gloucester City Back home now call (New Meadow Park) TigerTurf Stadium,
We've got one in the Oldtown area of Letterkenny, County Donegal.
You are using the Aylesbury Fc badge instead of Aylesbury Utd’s one on your thumbnail

That was indeed a great spot, sir. Thanks!

I live on Sudmeadow Road which is where Meadow Park is being rebuilt
Rossendale United-Dark Lane
Haslingden FC-Ewood Bridge
Why are they no longer used? Wasn't the @premierleague funding grassroots properly, enough? 😮
You forgot to,or perhaps didn’t know,but a Club called Stamco played at St.Leonards ground for a time.
Is there any chance you could do a video on non league team in a financial crisis?

AFC R&D have never considered Nene Park since we’ve been reformed!
thats what i thought same way darlo where not going to rent feethams back from the cricket club when housing had been planning.

What was Darlington thinking with 20,000 stadium with an average of 3,000 at the time look what happened

@Digdug30 housing complex...............ricoh arena..................library..LOL
What a shame all the grounds getting demolished grass roots football getting fucked by the big boys ✌️
what abou afc fyldes old stadium ?
Aylesbury utd are linked with Buckingham road again
From local paper reports the club's bid was rejected by the owners and the ground may get pulled down (if it doesn't fall down first).
Pelsall villa is another abandoned stadium
Bring back Nene park
I agree. I would love to be there because I live in rushden and could go regularly
