A fun fact not many people know is that villa weren’t just one of the founding members of the English football league, they were the founders. It was the villa chairman at the time who initially proposed the idea to the other clubs and set the whole thing in motion
I'm an American West Brom fan and did the tour at The Hawthorns a few years ago when went I went over to England. Not very flashy, but they are very welcoming. There's no museum at the stadium, but a lot of historical posters and artefacts in the corridors. And some actual trophies... including the 1920 first division trophy. The guide I had was quite knowledgeable. And when I mentioned that I was a Yank visiting from California, they gave me a stack of matchday programmes.
Great video mate - showcases how dense this area is for football clubs and stadia. The pitch on the back of Walsall is astro usually used for the community side of the club such as summer training camps - our training ground is in essington. We’ve recently had new American owners trivela group and they have committed to revamping the Saddlers club so hopefully it’s back up and running in the near future. 👍🏻
Yeah absolutely. Where I'm from (Lancashire) it's kind of the same. Ah I didn't know that about Walsall's training ground, I did think it was a little small?
Gotta love the outside of Aston Villa. Beautiful architecture. 💯 I also just got back from a UK football stadium tour...but was unable to make it to Birmingham. Very jealous you were able to stop by Villa & Birmingham City. Great work! 👍🔥
@@UltimateBucketList I for sure will! It was cool to see it from your point of view, thanks for that & keep up the awesome content man! Maybe we can do a collaboration in the future 🤙
About the saddlers club, it used to be an amazing place for fans, both home and away, to sit, drink, eat and chill for so many years. However, when we went down into league two a few years ago, it's funding was cut and now left as a desolate remnant of what it used to be. But it was always a highlight when going to home games and it was always loved by home fans and praised by away fans.
@@UltimateBucketList no unfortunately. There is a hotel nearby which the away visitors go to but other than that there is nothing apart from the bonser suite in the double tiered stand
I went to Coventry stadium for 2 days during the commonwealth games, it was an awesome place to watch rugby sevens, I never got a bad seat, I'm also a Wasps RFC fan, so it was nice to go back there after 8 years.
It's definitely a nice stadium and I wish I could go to an actual game there. I'm a Northampton Saints fan for Union, so hopefully I'll get to check out a game there ... when I'm not driving three hours to Northampton of course!
West Brom season ticket holder of 15 years! We were in the premier league for a long stint in the 2010s recently though we appear to be in trouble and the vibe at the stadium can be awful at times. On our day though the atmosphere is unmatched! There’s a video of the brummie road end singing the lord is my shepherd in the play off semi final against the villa 3 years ago and the noise in the stadium that day was nuts!
Villa fan here with lots of West Brom fans in my family so get to go to a good few games. I’ve gotta say the atmosphere on that play off semi day was crazy 😂 I was in the hospitality surrounded by baggies fans so was pretty intimidated. Defo the best atmosphere I’ve heard at a baggies game
I did all the London ones in separate videos, but if you want to do this yourself it'll take you just a day to see all 6. Actually did the Wolves, Villa and Blues ones whilst I was down there.
I'm in Birmingham a lot for work, but I never get a chance to explore the place. Usually I'm in and out, so to spend a day going around all the stadiums was a refreshing (albeit a long) change.
I wasn’t the biggest fan myself of the CBS at first, only until last season I started to enjoy going there because the atmosphere is electric. In the future if wasps keep struggling financially then we could have the possibility of buying it and in years to come we can start making history in it. I’ve got to be honest I’d much rather stick with what we have then take a gamble and lose that special atmosphere as the fans are relatively close to the pitch still and SINGERS CORNER. Nothing will beat highfield road but now I’m happy with the CBS arena
It's a nice stadium - I know you guys are being held over a barrel at that place, but you never know ... some rich guy could buy both clubs and start a sporting empire out of Coventry! If Wrexham can be bought by Hollywood A-Listers, anything's possible!
Just for your information, in the Victorian era tha Villa chairman/founder/owner ,William Mcgregor was the man who came up with the league format. So, we was THEE founders of the football league!
Whilst William McGregor is usually credited with spearheading the formation of the football league, realistically it was a collective agreement between the owners of the other clubs (including William Sudell of Preston North End) that broke away from the old format to bring professionalism to football.
Thanks Jimmy. I'll consider it, though the last few tours I've done have been met with criticism and constant whiners, so my motivation to make more of these right now is pretty low.
@@UltimateBucketList ahh, to hell with them!! Though, I do understand how demotivating it must be 👎 you'll always have my support though, as well as MANY others who have equally loved this series! Hope your well buddy.
@@golazzo_1884 Yeah Jimmy, I think you're right. There's always going to be people (mainly football fans) who don't care for what I do and I should probably ignore them. I'm sure there are plenty of people who actually like my content, so thanks for the kind words of encouragement!
I love the Hawthorns yet the Halfords lane stand is to small. I understand that the main road makes it harder to expand that stand, but it's still possible. Adding an upper tier of about 4,000 seats would increase the capacity to just over 30,000, for me our current capacity of 27,000 is not good enough for today's game. Also the Corners of the West Stand could have upper tiers too
I think realistically, they wouldn't spend that sort of money just to up the capacity by 3,000 people. It'll cost more than they'll ever get back in gate money. It'd have to be a sizeable upgrade in order for a team like West Brom to pull the trigger.

Great content, sir. Re: Villa Park. There will be a redevelopment of the North Stand commencing next year. Recommend you check out the designs if you haven't already done so. Look forward to the stadium tour. UTV
I'm going to Coventry and West brom away later this season (following my club Norwich) so this was useful. I've already been to the Molineux and Villa park and both are amazing stadiums. Brilliant video!
Thanks! Be careful outside the Hawthorns, it's incredibly crowded and you'll literally be in non-moving traffic if you drive anywhere near on a match day. The CBS - you could probably get away with parking at the retail park opposite and it's easy to get in and out. Cheers!
when you go to westbrom just get the train theres a station right next to stadium it much easier then driving to the stadium you can also get the tram from birmingham there
@@UltimateBucketList Amazing thank you very much! Yeah we're debating on maybe parking a bit further away earlier in the day and walking around for a bit or we might get the train. Thankfully its not till nearly end of the season so plenty of time to decide!
Actually Aston Villa didn't start the league. It required 11 other teams as well. One team cannot start a league. However a William McGregor proposed a league and got the others involved, and Mr McGregor was a Villa man.
@@michaelketley876 Splitting hairs a bit there aren't you Michael. But just for you... Bloke who was Villa chairman had an idea for a league and using the influence his position brought him he invited 11 other clubs to form a league with his club.
@@paulhanson5164 not so much splitting hairs but enduring that William McGregor got the credit he deserved for having the idea and making contact with representatives from the other clubs.
@@UltimateBucketList good, you wont regret! for seating, I'd advise doing some research into "the corner", it's arguably the loudest stand in the championship, alternatively you could sit in the corner across from it (which is where I normally sit)
Details for Walsall its not the training ground although a lot of the younger squads probably do train there as for the saddlers club the new owners look to get it back open again to help generate more money for the club, the led screen also helps generate money for the club. Main issue we do have is trying to get the freehold for the stadium from the former owner and the new owners kinda promise to do so
Glad you came to the CBS Arena - we don’t do stadium tours because we don’t own the stadium (London wasps rugby do) unfortunately , but you are welcome at the CBS to come and watch a game anytime
@@UltimateBucketList just a quick warning, the wasps don’t have many fans and average around 4-5k a game, dead atmosphere. on the other hand I strongly recommend you go to a Coventry city game as there is a possibility that you will be happily satisfied after the game while driving home!
You mean 'across' (I live in Lancashire) - probably when I get time to, but because the views are so low for these stadium tours, it doesn't give me motivation to make more.
Coventry City's stadium is an absolute boom box on match day, sit in "the corner" with the die hards and you'll leave deaf. might look all corporate on the outside but inside is beautiful
How do you get a stadium tour inside West Brom and Birmingham City? I have tried to get into those two clubs but they have rejected having a stadium tour.
Birmingham City generally do tours in the off season, whilst West Brom only do them on selected days throughout the year. You just have to keep your eye on the website for availability.
Hey ninh the reason why st Andrews was shut off was because of the construction work commencing on the lower kop and tilton soon so its shut off but normally you are able to go behind the main stand
Be great if you visited the city ground. Love your videos. Great guy and very engaging. Will never understand al, the stick you got when visiting rangers in the Celtic shirt. It’s just football. Yes,we all love it but keep it in context. We are all fans end of the day
Actually do a tour of the Coventry stadium but make sure it’s football related not rugby 😂, plus the Cov fans do make the ground feel more alive and you would get your money’s worth when going to a game. Also the way the roof is designed traps in all the sound so the stadium generates a lot of sound, you only need to shout and you’ll easily be heard from the opposite stand
I would have done one on the same day as Wolves if they did it. But their staff aren't the most helpful and the system is shockingly bad. I don't make a habit of rewarding incompetence!
I’m surprised (kinda) that you didn’t do Solihull Moors but you did Walsall, as Solihull nearly got promoted to the EFL last season losing in the final. But I get why because they are non league.
Just come home from the Arsenal match. They've turned it around since the two disaster games at the beginning of the season, but there's still work to be done and a couple of players that need to be signed (a right back and a striker). I think we're on the right track, but it'll take a couple of seasons with this group of players and manager for them to work effectively properly.
@@bcfcfantv5339 Millwall only do tours on matchdays and in booked groups of 20, so there's little chance I'd actually get to go on one myself. Apparently it's alright though.
"Classic" doesn't have to mean that it's any good or in decent condition. I'd argue that Old Trafford is in much worse condition ... and I go there every week.
@@UltimateBucketList yeah i gathered that being British but non Brits won't. You easily could of said west midlands or mention i will do a east mids video soon
@@davidmarchant9386 respectfully, anybody with eyes would have looked at the thumbnail and immediately realised that all the teams listed are around Birmingham. The first line of the description reads: "The Midlands around the Birmingham area is home to 6 historic football teams:". So there is little confusion as to what area I'm referring to.
@@davidmarchant9386 realistically, non-Brits wouldn't even know where the Midlands is, let alone the difference between West Midlands or East Midlands. Therefore, what you're trying to argue is an incredibly moot point. I see nothing wrong with the way I have referred to the area of which I'm referring to, and I make no apologies for it. If you don't like it, that's fine, but I believe you're the only one that has this problem with this video.
shame that birmingham city’s stadium is in the state it’s in currently. The bottom tier of the tilton has been closed for ages and is in need of repair. Doesn’t feel the same on a matchday when half the stadium is closed
@@UltimateBucketList We need new owners entirely. We get near enough no investment and the squad is falling apart again. Sadly this season is looking like another relegation fight.
You should probably put a bit more respect on Albion's name. Most of the clubs history has been in the top flight. In the Premier League era it's been up and down, apart from an 8 year spell where it stayed there, but overall, Albion were traditionally one of the mainstays of top flight football. Ppl don't think football existed before the Premier League.
I think you're taking offense to something that's completely innocuous. And technically I was correct, they have bounced between the Prem and the Championship repeatedly. It's nothing to do with a lack of respect, just stating facts.
@@UltimateBucketList it wasn't a case of being offended, it was more a case of giving the tradition of the club a bit more respect, given its history. The PL era is what ppl gravitate towards for some reason.
@@dperson9212 agree mate. We had great teams in the 70s and 80s . But you are right today’s generation only know the primer league. They think that’s when football really started. Lol 😂. Boing boing. 👍🏼🏴🏴🇬🇧👍🏼
Do you think man Uniteds transfer window has been disgraceful from the last ten years knowing that your a man United fan I would like to know your opinion
Not really. I think people are taking their frustrations out on the owners, but they've actually spent money and trying to bring in players. Whether those players pan out or not is a different story. But this season remains to be seen.
@@revansavfc Bescot stadium can be a very easily missed driving on the M6. You would have to be blind to miss Villa Park. The Hawthorns is only 600 meters from the M5, but I am pretty sure you can't see it from the motorway.

Video idea I dare you to were a villa shirt at Birmingham city stadium for a match
I wouldn't bother wasting my money.
It would be nice to see what are the future visions of the stadiums, and also concept stadium designs of the future.
I believe there's some guy on UA-cam that already does that? Lots of them in fact.
Actually do a tour of the Coventry stadium but make sure it’s football related not rugby 😂, plus the Cov fans do make the ground feel more alive and you would get your money’s worth when going to a game. Also the way the roof is designed traps in all the sound so the stadium generates a lot of sound, you only need to shout and you’ll easily be heard from the opposite stand
I don't believe they do one.
@@UltimateBucketList I know people that have had private tours for curious people, not like what villa and blues do (public tours)
@@skyblues8785 ah, I see. Might try that next time I'm around the area.
Hey Ninh do you mind if you can do the Derby County stadium tour I heard it is rearly good.
I'll consider it, but I have no immediate plans to be in Derby over the next few months.
We are wolves. 🐺🇬🇧
If you haven't already seen my Wolves Stadium Tour: ua-cam.com/video/8BqujpMpc3c/v-deo.html
You reckon you'll do a wba stadium tour? I've found a link to book one if you like.
I would have done one on the same day as Wolves if they did it. But their staff aren't the most helpful and the system is shockingly bad.
I don't make a habit of rewarding incompetence!
👍🏾👍🏾👍👍
Thanks very much!
Do Essex and London
I already did London in separate videos.
Please could you do nottingham forrest
I'll consider it.
When are the stadium tours coming on UA-cam
Probably some time this week, but I'll space them out so they won't be all at once!
Also WBA also have our own station !
Yes
The Hawthorns was the scene of Manchester United's last game under Sir Alex. The game finished something like 5-5.
That's correct!
some claim to fame that....lol...tinpot
I was there. Fergie's reaction, " Football , bloody hell ! "
Do afc Bournemouth plz
I don't think they do tours for a stadium that small.
@@UltimateBucketList sorry I support afcb but their getting a new stadium with tours so maybe in a few years
When outside the hawthorns regarding being diverted from tour page the ‘as much as I’d like to book a Christmas party “ comment ,pmsl 😂
I just looked ... they finally sorted the website.
So now I can do a Stadium Tour AND book a Christmas Party! 😂
Also the cbs arena is formally known as the recho arena
The Ricoh Arena, yes.
I’m surprised (kinda) that you didn’t do Solihull Moors but you did Walsall, as Solihull nearly got promoted to the EFL last season losing in the final. But I get why because they are non league.
I have no intention of doing non-league teams, otherwise I'd be here all day filming clubs for a video that no-one will watch. Seriously.
such an underrated footballing region, but I'm a Wolves fan from the west of Ireland so what can I say
I don't know about underrated, but there seems to be a lot of clubs within driving distance of Birmingham, for sure.
Did you get a tour of the hawthorns ?
Nope ... couldn't get one.
You fell for the common trick of branding west brom a yo yo club. It wasn't to long ago the club spent 9 years consecutively in the Premier league
Maybe so, but even you'll admit that they've been promoted and relegated from the Premier League more than most.
Nice Video 👍
You didn't even watch it yet bro! But thanks! :)
@@UltimateBucketList I watched a bit of it but I knew it was going to be a banger video 🔥
kidderminster harriers + solihull moors? or as i call them, "Airport Lovers FC"
They barely count as football teams?!
Alast a video on the mighty second city
Indeed. More videos like this to come.
thoughts on united this season?
Just come home from the Arsenal match. They've turned it around since the two disaster games at the beginning of the season, but there's still work to be done and a couple of players that need to be signed (a right back and a striker). I think we're on the right track, but it'll take a couple of seasons with this group of players and manager for them to work effectively properly.
Glory Glory Manchester United 🙌
@@Amaking10000 hell yeah!
London Premier League Clubs 👀 Maybe Chelsea vs Fulham?
You might want to check out the rest of my videos on the channel ... did most of them already.
@@UltimateBucketList respect but you still haven't done the most historic club in London yet.. #ffc 👀
I know this is a hard ask but could you do the stadiums in London at some point if not London maybe south London
Check out my channel dude, I already did most of them.
@@UltimateBucketList its because he wants you to do millwall 😂
@@bcfcfantv5339 Millwall only do tours on matchdays and in booked groups of 20, so there's little chance I'd actually get to go on one myself. Apparently it's alright though.
St Andrews is most definitely not one of the classic grounds in England. In fact at this moment in time it’s in the state of collapse.
"Classic" doesn't have to mean that it's any good or in decent condition. I'd argue that Old Trafford is in much worse condition ... and I go there every week.
It's pronounced Smevick. The W is silent lol
Would it not be Smethick, not Smevick?
Sometimes I've heard that word with the W pronounced.
Black Country dialect , smevik ayit 😅
Walsall technically have a big enough stadium for the premier league as the minimum is 10,000 seats
They do, but getting there is a different story altogether.
UTV!
indeed
Hope you remembered to wipe your feet when you left the Molineux
Nah it was pretty clean.
SKY BLUE ARMY!!
Indeed! Hopefully you guys will have some level of stability going forward.
Being homeless isn't fun.
@@UltimateBucketList your hope has evidently brought us great fortune. It’s Been a blast supporting the midlands best club over the past year
CBS also have a casino
Yes, but not really a selling point of a football stadium.
So you don't count Nottingham Leicester n Derby as midlands?
"Midlands" is such a vague term, I was referring to the Birmingham (ish) area teams.
@@UltimateBucketList yeah i gathered that being British but non Brits won't. You easily could of said west midlands or mention i will do a east mids video soon
@@davidmarchant9386 respectfully, anybody with eyes would have looked at the thumbnail and immediately realised that all the teams listed are around Birmingham. The first line of the description reads: "The Midlands around the Birmingham area is home to 6 historic football teams:". So there is little confusion as to what area I'm referring to.
@@UltimateBucketList only if you are a Brit how hard is that for you to understand
@@davidmarchant9386 realistically, non-Brits wouldn't even know where the Midlands is, let alone the difference between West Midlands or East Midlands. Therefore, what you're trying to argue is an incredibly moot point. I see nothing wrong with the way I have referred to the area of which I'm referring to, and I make no apologies for it.
If you don't like it, that's fine, but I believe you're the only one that has this problem with this video.
9:47 absolutely not! 😂
Yeah, I think I was optimistic about that. I blame the heatstroke that I suffered on the day 😂
@@UltimateBucketList ah okay. Brilliant video though, from a West Brom fan 😅👍
shame that birmingham city’s stadium is in the state it’s in currently. The bottom tier of the tilton has been closed for ages and is in need of repair. Doesn’t feel the same on a matchday when half the stadium is closed
Yeah for sure. BCFC just need some money investing in absolutely everything and I'm sure they'll be back in the Prem soon enough.
@@UltimateBucketList We need new owners entirely. We get near enough no investment and the squad is falling apart again. Sadly this season is looking like another relegation fight.
You should probably put a bit more respect on Albion's name. Most of the clubs history has been in the top flight. In the Premier League era it's been up and down, apart from an 8 year spell where it stayed there, but overall, Albion were traditionally one of the mainstays of top flight football. Ppl don't think football existed before the Premier League.
I think you're taking offense to something that's completely innocuous. And technically I was correct, they have bounced between the Prem and the Championship repeatedly. It's nothing to do with a lack of respect, just stating facts.
@@UltimateBucketList it wasn't a case of being offended, it was more a case of giving the tradition of the club a bit more respect, given its history. The PL era is what ppl gravitate towards for some reason.
@@dperson9212 agree mate. We had great teams in the 70s and 80s . But you are right today’s generation only know the primer league. They think that’s when football really started. Lol 😂. Boing boing. 👍🏼🏴🏴🇬🇧👍🏼
Do you think man Uniteds transfer window has been disgraceful from the last ten years knowing that your a man United fan I would like to know your opinion
Not really. I think people are taking their frustrations out on the owners, but they've actually spent money and trying to bring in players. Whether those players pan out or not is a different story. But this season remains to be seen.
Walsall is the most viewed stadium in the league..
If you go by people whizzing past it on the motorway ... then yes!
@@UltimateBucketList exactly..so I'm right 😎
Villas ground can also be clearly seen from a motorway. The Aston Expressway from Spaghetti Junction to City Centre.
@@ianpodmore9666 true but the amount of traffic that goes past walsall compared to villa park is greater..villa park is the best view though 😎
@@revansavfc Bescot stadium can be a very easily missed driving on the M6. You would have to be blind to miss Villa Park. The Hawthorns is only 600 meters from the M5, but I am pretty sure you can't see it from the motorway.
Be great for the future plans for Molineux proposing a 70,000 stadia!
I doubt they'd ever get planning permission for 70,000 - would be interesting to see though.
