Cleator Moor Celtic lifelong supporter here, thanks for all the nice feedback on the video, Dene (the coach in the video) is a legend at the club, seeing us win Cumberland County Cups and Shipowners Cups, please think about a visit up north and speak to any of us in the ground about our history, we’re a proper community cup and the support is appreciated! #COYBIG
@@jackpollard2715 I’m not but from other team’s perspective I know, you’re not wanted , but like your big brothers tbh , hated but not rated either. Youse are pony.
Yet another fine video, Sam. Love your channel & your enthusiasm for Scottish football. Keep on, keeping on, mate! all the very best from Japan, (orig. Scotland - Celtic supporter for over 56 years... and counting). G.
Great feature, my cousin and uncle played for CM Celtic and my dad for one game. The stone circle aka Kinneside stone circle is suspected as being a frake and built by a local farmer c1800's. Celtic were indead formed by Irish Catholic miners that came to Cleator mid 1800's to work in the mines, so many that the town was nicknamed Little Ireland. Celtic had an affiliation with the Glasgow team and used to receive the Scottish sides old kits. From time to time some Glasgow Celtic fans have made pilgrimage to CM to watch Celtic. There is still a big Celtic supporting population in the town.
My uncle started a club called knaresborough Celtic , a small village about 20min from leeds. He is a massive Celtic fan . Last time I was back he showed me a letter he received from Brendan Roger's praising him for his efforts . I am a rangers fan by the way haha
I don’t mind QPR. weird though that RESUP POOHS is an anagram of ……………..? Seems like a (Satanic?) curse against them. I think someone with the lastname Barnett developed Queen’s Park the neighbourhood back in the Victorian times.
Went to Loftus Road in the 70s v west ham in the cup I think qpr won 6-1 Stan bowls played glad to hear they share an irish connection never liked West ham anyway 😁😁😁🍀🍀🍀
My aunt and uncle used to live in the village but they were rugby fans. Unfortunately never got the chance to see CM Celtic play but they did live beside Dion Dublins family who are from the area 🍀
@@paulguise698 that’s pretty cool man, Its been a long time since I’ve been in the village but it was the wasps rugby club and a pub called the little arms I had a drink in a few times. Maybe try get down see CM Celtic in the future
Sometimes, going to small grass-roots clubs which are not well-known outside their own communities, makes very interesting videos. The metal sculptures in the town centre were interesting, too. I look forward to your returning some day when a match actually goes ahead at Cleator Moor.
Hiya Sam, Cleator Moor is 5 miles from where I live, Tony Caig, Scott Carson and Dion Dublin's cousin's (Duke and Eddie)went to the same school as me, besides that I've never been to a Cleator Moor Celtic game in my life, if you're coming down to Cumberland you should go to Workington Reds and Cleator Moor Celtic in the same weekend if at all possible, Workington reds got expelled in 1977 from the football league, when Wimbledon came in, sorry about Greggs being shut, Cleator Moor is called Little Ireland, there's loads of Irish name's from Cleator Moor, like O'Reilly, Kelly and Monaghan,I cant believe how many viewings this vlog has had, this is Choppy in Whitehaven, Cumberland, England
Stone circles were popular among the ancient Cumbrians. If you go back around 2000 years when Britain as we know it now was split into different ‘ethnic’ groups, the ancient kingdom of Cumbria stretched from around greenock/gourock north of glasgow all the way down encompassing modern wales. These would have been built for ceremonial/celestial purposes or sacrificial.
There is also stalybridge Celtic and Stafford Rangers. THey don’t have any connection with the Glasgow teams but I know the Celtic and Rangers fans used to go down and support them when they played in the Vauxhall conference. Stalybridge play in blue.
In the great tradition of stickers on urinal cisterns in away end toilets, I remember seeing in 1998 a sticker from the Glasgow Stalybridge Celtic Supporters Club on the cistern in the bogs at the away end of Yeovil Town.
I live down near Heathrow and I was planning to take my uncle up there to see a game but the weather is a massive issue for such a journey. He loves West Cumbria and came across this ground a while back. New year maybe. Thank you for posting this the video.
From memory as a kid Celtic fans English team would be either somewhere they have family/links to or Liverpool,Everton(liverpool because of Dalglish and Everton because they share songs with them and Moyes was the manager)
Fantastic video mate, love these lesser known stadiums. If you can I recommend you get yourself to the outer Hebrides in Scotland and check out Eriskay FC. The pitch is mental 🤣 they play in the green and white hoops aswell and although the pitch is terrible it's officially recognised by FIFA. It's a mission to get there but the island is stunning and the locals are amazing 👍🍀 Took my lad there on a pilgrimage last year as we're both Tim's the manager let us have a kick about on the park.
There used to be a club called Celtic Nation based in Carlisle, who played in the Northern League (English Tier 9). Their owner pumped a load of money in so they could attract ex-professionals (Tier 4-5 standard players) but pulled his investment after 2 seasons so they folded.
Keep the good work up Sam, your having a roller coaster of a year trying to get content out. Your positivity is infectious and you love for the history of football is so refreshing. 👍👍
Awesome! I only live down the road in Lancashire. I will have to have a trip up there. Did you get hold of a pin? That would be an awesome pin for the collection!
Been Celtic and Arsenal since Charlie George's FA cup winner against Liverpool in the classic 1971 final . Thanks for sharing this video, looks like I have a new team to support, cheers. COYBIG 🍀
Hi Neil I’m been Celtic and Arsenal since I went to sammy Nelson’s testimonial in the 80s I remember it still in the old Highbury I’m 59 now 🏴☘️🍀🇮🇪
Yes and the names Cumbria and Cymru also point to this. There is a folk tradition in Wales of Hen Ogledd (The Old North) that sees this area as a common people. Carlisle, Penrith and Helvellyn are all names from a common root with Welsh.
What about Farsley Celtic FC. It's a football club in the National League North. It's in between Bradford and Leeds. It's a good non league game to go to however I recommend coming in good weather, it has shelter but if you want to be with the main fans with heart for this club you have to stand without shelter. Highly recommend going 👍
Hi Sam great channel keep going , did you know there is a Stalybridge Celtic based in greater Manchester they are currently members of the Northern Premier League Premier Division I'd also like you to cover RCD Mallorca as I've family there and my uncle lived there for over 40 years until he passed away in 2021.
Dump the SFA buy and rebuild Cleator Moor, and rise to the Prem that would be mindblowing lol (only a what-if). Be following their progress after watching this. HH Cleator Moor
Never knew about this Team affliated with Glasgow celtic 👏 well done Sam for Another Adventure you should have your own TV slot you do a brilliant 👏 job
I'm a Celtic supporter. My English club is Aston Villa, and that's because of Paul McGrath and the large Irish contingent there in the early to mid 90s (McGrath, Houghton, Staunton, Townsend)
You need to get out more. There are loads of Celtic who ‘follow Arsenal and particularly Newcastle. The North East has been a hot bed of Irish Republicanism.
@@SuperHans64 That's very nice for you but I was just answering the question. And the vast vast majority of Celtic fans are left of centre in their politics, with the majority (in my experience) having broad Irish nationalist views. The point being - that's in common with the history of the North East of England.
i think stone circles were places of gathering or schooling areas from prehistoric settlements.... of course many things can be taught by these glyphs. I would say by it's positioning it has more to do with measuring the lunar equinox so some sort of Celtic magic went on there at one point in history, that's for sure.
I am a Chelsea fan who supports Celtic pal. I have dual British/ Irish citizenship due to my Irish parents, grandparents, great grandparents, great great grandparents etc etc pal. CFC 55 💙💚🇬🇧🇮🇪
Really interesting vlog Sam. Had no idea about this club, very good watch mate. The miners, played an important part in football in parts of Europe too, not exactly sure, am thinking some in Spain ?
Had all my planned local games called off today so ended up popping along to a local rugby union club, Tyldesley, and saw them play against Littleborough but saw the Manchester Derby before kick off and even more made up with United winning
As a Scottish football fan, with not so much interest in English £££££ football, it is Liverpool for me, worked there briefly, and the people of that city were as decent as you could find anywhere.
What other clubs would you like me to cover in 2023?

They play in the Northern League.
@@peterosullivan9942 thanks for checking!
Your much much more than just a straight football channel always interesting
There used to be a club called Celtic Nation based in Carlisle, who played in the Northern League (English Tier 9). Their owner pumped a load of money in so they could attract ex-professionals (Tier 4-5 standard players) but pulled his investment after 2 seasons so they folded.
He asked a lad I know directions, the lad was manager of Gilford Park so he went & watched them, thats how it started. Mental! WATP.
Yep, interestingly Celtic Nation were named that because of Cumbria’s history as a ‘Celtic Nation’ rather than immigration
Never knew about this club. Will keep an eye out from now on. 🍀
my mothers uncle played in the berwick rangers team that beat the team formally known as rangers in 1967 scottish cup. he now lives in australia
