Being an American, this is all greek to me. Except when Falmer came up. I lived there for a year teaching... Falmer is where the University of Brighton campus is and it is in between Brighton main station and Lewes... Funny thing is, that stadium is now sitting upon the exact dorm I lived in that they tore down to build the stadium... So technically I lived inside that stadium.
With the Cardiff City stadium I think Tom was thinking of Cardiff Arms Park, home of Cardiff Blues rugby. Confusingly the entire area is called Cardiff Arms Park so the name was synonymous with the national stadium before The Millennium stadium was built which is now called The Principality stadium. Cardiff football stadium is about 2 miles southwest very close to the ancestral home of Cardiff City - Ninian Park on Sloper Road. More confusingly still, Glamorgan cricket played at Cardiff Arms Park until 1967 or so when they moved to Sophia Gardens which is not in Bulgaria.
@@meoshcam5930 Sophia Gardens is beautiful so the cricketers got the best deal, old photos of the cricket at the Arms Park always looked grim. I forget that Welsh baseball internationals were also played at the Arms Park in front of huge crowds. Sad to see just how far baseball has fallen over the last decade.
I don't think Cardiff have played at Ninian Park for ages yet it'd still be the first stadium that came to mind if someone asked me "where di Cardiff play?"
On Brighton and the Falmer stadium thing- Falmer is the local village nearby the stadium and is the name most Brighton fans used when campaigning to get it built. Most locals would know that, but the Amex name is far more widely known. Its a bit cheeky of the quiz to use that name.
Imagine Tom would read his whole UI just ONCE 😂 Every game he plays he doesnt understand, this time he cant seem to find the bar with 200miles on the bottom, drives me nuts 😅
Tbf he was just doing well enough that it didn't come into play for several rounds. I don't think it's entirely intuitive until you make a large enough mistake for some red to show, and that's when he realized it. I didn't understand what it was for until that point, either.
@@findmeinthefuture. the red kept disappearing as well for the earlier rounds. I'm not sure if it's because it was just a sliver and it forgives you or if earlier rounds are non-cumulative.
Wow, been watching you for years Tom, and I now like you even more knowing you (almost) support the Swans! Can’t blame you for following us less in recent years…. It’s been tough! Top man, YJB!!
The stadium that back onto the Millenium is the Arms Park where the Cardiff Blues (rugby) play. Although Cardiff City have had a new stadium semi-recently-ish it's pretty much in the same place as their old one.
As a football fan I definitely appreciate this kind of content. Quite a bit room for improvement at this aswell, since your stadium knowledge seems to lag well behind your UK city knowledge. The Valley especially was a bit of a blunder.
I usually watch your videos and think to myself, "I could probably get somewhere close in this one..." This challenge, however, is so outside my knowledge, and the map so minimal, that all my mileage allotment would be gone in a single guess. 😆
The only ground I got wrong was Fir Park - I knew roughly where - so would have gone for Accies. Agree the maps weren't very helpful, but the scoring was very tolerant!
Congrats on your nuptials! Looking from the outside, just seeing how much support she gives to your weird hobby/work, I'd say that marrying her is the smartest thing you'll ever do. All the best to the two of you!
Did this before watching so i could compare.. completed all levels with 140 miles total out for all 5. First one of these thing i've actually done ok in. Really enjoyed the vid too cheers fella.
Oh congratulations on your wedding! I just got married myself and we are on our honeymoon now! It's so nice to relax from all the wedding stress haha. We wish you both all the best! 😄
I liked this video a lot, even as someone who isn't in to football! Map is quite minimal so it seems to test you a little bit more, and it's cool to see your knowledge of football stadiums. Another attempt at this would be cool I think, might have to brush up on your SPL knowledge!!
FInished on the first attempt, a total of 280.84 miles out, no hints used. Was only outside the 20 mile range with New Meadow (Shrewsbury). Not bad for a Canadian who's never been to the UK!
As a Rotherham Fan this was interesting, as we don't normally get a mention. I can't believe you thought we had been in the Prem though, never been in the top flight.
Having tried not entirely successfully to do a 'no-roads mission' style video last week, I'm very pleased to have beaten Tom at this football game getting 95% thanks to a 25 year journey from League 2 to Championship (twice) with my team. Time for a beer! Cheers > #Disco
As a Cardiff fan - you were thinking of the rugby team, Cardiff Arms Park. That's right next to the Principality. The current Cardiff City Stadium (imaginitive name) is across the road from where the old Ninian Park used to be.
Cardiff Arms Park is the stadium right next to the Millennium. CAP is the stadium of Cardiff Rugby (URC "franchise") and Cardiff Rugby Football Club (Welsh Prem club) Cardiff City Stadium is near the old Cardiff City ground, Ninan Park, and is home to Cardiff City (EFL Championship) and Welsh men's football
The stadium next to the Millennium stadium is Cardiff Arms Park, the rugby team’s home stadium So sorry to hear you have Swansea blood. I hear they have transfusions to deal with that sort of thing now
Good old Ayresome Park, was demolished before I was born, on the year actually. So I never got to see it in person, but the Riverside is a majestic "old world" stadium which has a 4 star rating from UEFA meaning it could theoretically host a UCL and Euros Final. It's still in pretty good shape, better than some premier league stadiums.
The stadium right next to the principality is Cardiff Arms Park home of Cardiff Blues the rugby team. Cardiff City did move stadium relatively recently but that was across the road from Ninian Park
Mansfield Town and Notts County are easy to remember because they're all about expanses of grass Mansfield = Field Mill (or the One Call Stadium if going by sponsorship...) Notts = Meadow Lane And Deepdale in Preston is where you go for your football and your shopping! ❤
Falmer is a tiny village outside of Brighton & Hove where they built their new stadium. It's weird going to a Premier League game at such a small town.
I'm an American who supported Wrexham afc for about three months for some reason?? Joking aside, congratulations Tom and Verity!!!! Looking forward to the geoguessing and to the adventures!! GET IN!!!!
Hi Tom, you were thinking of cardiff arms park stadium by the millennium. The cardiff city stadium is by Costco to the west of the center in Leckwith. Its not a very new one sadly you just got the football and rugby mixed up!
First go made it to Level 4 not realising the hints feature was a thing. Had no idea with a few of the stadiums at that level so was essentially guessing, but did reaply well until then!
Rotherham played at The Don Valley in Sheffield when they got locked out of their old ground Millmoor a few years back. So I guess that’s why you thought of Rotherham for The Valley.
oooh another suggestion, if you really want to push yourself, how about canoeing across Britain using the canal system? i would suggest Goole to Liverpool

Same here 😂😂
Lmao, me too, I just love Tom's humor.
Congratulations on the wedding Tom. Have an amazing time with Verity with any adventures you may get up to
Agreed.
His biggest mission yet
hear hear!
plot twist: the wedding isnt with Verity 🙃
Congrats! 💍 Next straight line mission: the aisle 😂
Quite a memorable one.
Longest mission yet.
Pretty sure it will be a platinum run first try! Hopefully Verity's dad isn't an angry farmer...
Great comment
lmaooo
Did you know GeoWizards full name is actually "George WIzardly" ?
Oooohhh, that makes much more sense, I thought the "Geo" was short for "Geoffrey"
@@shipwreck9146 i thought it was for geography
OGs know it is actually short for GeoGuessr Wizard with stars around it and some tag like - amazing guesses
😂too many people believe you
@@Joemamahahahaha821well done, everyone is very impressed.
Happy to hear you locked it down with Verity, you’re a lucky man to have someone so supportive of your crazy adventures. Also, use your bloody hints!

Well thankfully Tom has plenty of experience hitching.

@@Matthew-bu7fg If you headed there you would find the new stadium unless you were incredibly unobservant
I've been waiting for so long for some GeoWizard football lore. Amazing video as always and congratulations Tom and Verity on a happy wedding!

Seems like he figured it out when it became relevant.
My take is that for an honest video, he doesn't prepare on it for nine hours then pretend he's never seen it before like every other channel does.
Tbf he was just doing well enough that it didn't come into play for several rounds. I don't think it's entirely intuitive until you make a large enough mistake for some red to show, and that's when he realized it. I didn't understand what it was for until that point, either.

Wow, been watching you for years Tom, and I now like you even more knowing you (almost) support the Swans! Can’t blame you for following us less in recent years…. It’s been tough! Top man, YJB!!
As an American who enjoys EPL, this was great. Would love to see you team up with your friend on this.
Would you ever consider doing the music quizzes on Sporcle that you used to do years ago? I know it's not geography based but they were fun.
The stadium that back onto the Millenium is the Arms Park where the Cardiff Blues (rugby) play. Although Cardiff City have had a new stadium semi-recently-ish it's pretty much in the same place as their old one.
That's why annoyingly the Millennium Stadium isn't 3 tiers all the way round, that end that is attached is only 2 tiers.
@@MylesHSGI’m glad I’m not the only one bugged by the lack of symmetry in the millennium stadium 😂
I love your reference points for this. St James Park… that’s where I ended my non stop walk across the country whilst dribbling a football.
Shoutout to his mate Tom Dixon, “who’s football knowledge is just through the roof”.
Congrats to you and Verity. You're lucky to have found someone who's happy to put up (and even participate to a degree) with your craziness.

Feel bad but was secretly hoping it was St James’ Park, Exeter
Same here 😀
Love that you're having fun with content you enjoy like football.
Nothing wrong with varied content, I'm all for this. Aston Villa fan myself here.
UTV
i tried to play along but i was given an actual map to look at! the fact you're pretty much playing blind and still doing pretty well is insane haha

Nice to see all parts of the UK represented equally on a UK football stadiums quiz
I was really hoping you were being serious too. Unfortunately as a Scottish person, I am all too used to this.
@@ZakM93Have more good teams
@@jamooo Yeah that really isn't the point.
@@ZakM93 It is my point.
@@ZakM93 the scots keeping telling us they don't want to be in the UK anyway
Thoroughly enjoyed this, mate. A couple of times was almost screaming at the screen, like with Portman Road, the home of the one and only Shefki Kuqi.
🤣🤣🤣 The worst player I have ever seen in a Swansea shirt…. So bad, we had shirts made with “I was there when Kuqi scored” printed on the front
If they ever release an Italian version of this I will finally be able to use my knowledge for something
FInished on the first attempt, a total of 280.84 miles out, no hints used. Was only outside the 20 mile range with New Meadow (Shrewsbury). Not bad for a Canadian who's never been to the UK!
I don’t know much about this stuff but still enjoying the content thanks Tom. Congrats on the upcoming wedding!

Best line in the video has to be: “love grey goose”, how has no one picked up on it🤣

Congrats! I'm so happy for you both! ❤
Congratulations Tom! Enjoy your wedding, the Honeymoon and everything else on this new and beautiful adventure 😊🎉
Tom, if you did it with easier difficulty (Armchair or Neither options), you'll have all cities and towns marked on map.
That's weird because that's more UK geography knowledge than football knowledge.
@@jackmathieson1903 Yes, idk who thought being an expert in football knowledge means you can pinpoint every town in UK.
@@mikoajnierada7857 I did it on mobile on die hard and it was the fully labelled map
Tom you should make a GeoWizard FPL minileague!
Doesn’t need any prizes or anything, but would be cool to see how the fans of the channel do!
"I love grey goose"... You're vastly over-paying for your vodka then. It is the same vodka as aldi vodka, made in the same vat, but it 5x the price.
Thanks for making my Monday by uploading a new video!
CONGRATULATIONS! i live in the uk but dont really care about football but i do like watching you guess things

Just did it before watching Tom. Did it on die hard, ran out of miles on level 4. Excited to see how he gets on.
Cardiff Arms Park is the stadium right next to the Millennium. CAP is the stadium of Cardiff Rugby (URC "franchise") and Cardiff Rugby Football Club (Welsh Prem club)

At least he's not from Stoke!
Doube double 🫢
Congrats on the wedding mate, wishing you all the best!
No one has ever been that excited about Doncaster
Me watching the video to try and see if my hometown comes up (watford unfortunately 😂). Congrats on the wedding! You and Verity are great!

And Deepdale in Preston is where you go for your football and your shopping! ❤
As a Doncaster Rovers fan, you brightened my day. Not only did you know our ground, but you called Rotherham a fourth division club 😂
Big up the swans. Was there to see them get promoted to the prem at Wembley.
The stadium right next to the Millennium in Cardiff is the Cardiff Arms park. The Cardiff city stadium is pretty much where the old Ninian Park was.
congratulations Tom on your wedding! maybe do a straight line mission from your home to the reception while wearing a tuxedo?
hey how about trying a straight line run across Holland? Not a great lot of hills to worry about there lol
Falmer is a tiny village outside of Brighton & Hove where they built their new stadium. It's weird going to a Premier League game at such a small town.
Haha I was wondering why I knew Brisbane Road (apart from it being reasonably close to me) - turns out it was where I played my last game of football!

Woah! I am from California and Swansea City is the club I support too (long story)! They're going up this year!
YJB 👍
I’d love to hear the story!! I was in Orlando on a family holiday one year, and flew to Philadelphia for our preseason friendly vs the Union! YJB
You did quite well. This is a really hard quiz. You should do some reading, and then return and defeat it!
Love this video do more football geography vids 👍
Much room for improvement
I yawned just before you on Stoke 😂 i studied in good ol Swansea too!
Tom you should make an FPL league for your subscribers
Trust me there's a huge geography / football crossover, more quizzes like this are ideal!
Motherwell was a rough one! Think you did ok, had to get Riverside and The Valley though!
I just love when this guy uploads a new video
