- Football stadiums come in all shapes and sizes. But not many resemble log cabins! In this video I travelled to the south of Scotland to investigate Creetown Football Club.
#football #soccer #uk - Спорт
cracking interview and a wonderfully refreshing honesty from the interviewee, credit to him
the hotel in the background (Ellangowan Hotel) is where they filmed the pub scenes in the original The Wicker Man movie, re-released this year for its 50th anniversary. The big granite ball was sculpted by Japanese artist, Hideo Furuta, who lived at a nearby quarry for many years.
Enjoyed this video immensely
You done so much for Scottish football 😮
Much more than sky sports 😅
Nice video!
Nice scenery :)
Onto tomorrow’s match for you.
They kept the pitch good too.
Brilliant! This is where my Dad was born and played for the club. Fantastic wee club.
The South of Scotland League isn't really a tier 6 league. It should either be a standalone league with clubs that want to progress applying to the West or East leagues or a lower tier league with promotion to the next tier which would be either West or East. Now Creetown have the SFA licence they might be able to push on, a run in the Scottish Cup would help financially, even if they can make the 1st Round.
My grandparents are from the Borders. It's a really nice area, but it's quite quiet with quite big gaps in between towns.
After seeing this video, I'll definitely go down and see this team at some point! The guy showing you around seems like a nice person too.
Creetown isn't in the borders.
@@CF_Fishing Ah okay my bad. I seen it was in the South of Scotland, so I just assumed that it was.
Creetown is in Kirkcudbrightshire, Galloway
These videos are excellent and really highlight the true heart of football at the lower levels.
It makes me wish I still lived in Scotland so that I could visit some of these places and, of course, sample the pies.
Fantastic video! I'd love to see you give more exposure to the South Of Scotland sides. Lochmaben FC are my parent's local club and sometimes it's even a struggle to get players so I'm sure they'd welcome any publicity.
The South of Scotland is also extremely beautiful with a really fascinating history and gets overlooked as everyone tends to just blast through it on the way to Glasgow and Edinburgh and then onto the touristy Highland places.
Great job!
I live in the English Midlands and tended to blast up to the Northern or Western isles in my camper. We "discovered" Wigtown because our adult daughters wanted a Scottish holiday and it was the only place which had a cottage that would take 3 dogs at the time that we wanted to go. We loved it that much in the area that we returned to Dumfries a couple of months ago and will be back to the cottage early next year. I'll try and squeeze a 10 day or so camper tour all along the coast to the Mull of Galloway in May. It's great as its not packed out like the NC500.
thanks for taking us to all these small stadiums love your channel 👍
Another great video but the Scottish Borders region is a lot further east
The region is Dumfries & Galloway,
combined with Scottish Borders it makes up the South of Scotland.
@@roddyohara7385 I know mate, I live there. Just pointing out the difference
What a stunning little ground, very unique with plenty of character. Lovely scenery too surrounding the ground. Good Luck to the team for the future, yet another brilliant video again my friend, always a real pleasure to watch ⚽️⚽️
That's a really nice looking town, for as small as it is. I think living in the U.S., usually towns that small over here are on the verge of drying up, with most residents being 50+, with plans to live out their lives there, while the youth moves to a bigger city. It ends up leaving a lot of the towns to have buildings crumbling and decrepit, but Creetown looks nice and still kept up.
Just a fabulous video!! So educational! Thank you!
One of the most informative videos on any sport I have seen for a while
Your uploading like a machine at the moment. Your keeping me well entertained! Thank you!!
Trying hard to pump out the videos. Really glad to hear you’re enjoying them! More to come this weekend. Have a good one 💪🏼
@@FootyAdventures honestly Sam I find these videos of weird historical and random grounds clubs quite a bit more interesting than the Celtic/Rangers match day videos I know that's what gets you the most views but please keep making the obscure stuff (Ireland again also!) It's what makes you unique!!
I love little clubs like that.
Great job
St Cuthbert Wanderers 🔜🙏
I was here just ten days ago. They gave me a very interesting book on the history of the club. Was a great game too, loved the ground.
Fab video... I was hoping for some seating attached to the back of that log cabin. The views are very special.
Loving this content. This morning I was just looking at all of the SOSL clubs on Google Maps and wondering when you'd been visiting. So many of them all really close together.
Great video. Enjoyed the honesty too. Will definitely keep an eye out for Creetown
Never thought id see you in my home town of creetown! Sucks i wasnt in town that day! Would defo recommended watching them play there not a bad team. And tickets are usually only a fiver..
This is an extremely so fantastic video and this is a learning curve for me to learn more about a football stadium,good friends!!!:-D
My favourite place in Scotland - Creetown. Always try to visit every year. Fabulous place.
Interesting stuff mate. Just loving all this stuff, keep it coming. , Blantyre vics fc ? Any thoughts ?
The guy that did my chainsaw training course is from Creetown. Eck is a legend.
Loved that video excellent stuff
Thanks 👍 more similar videos to come!
I was in that neck of the woods at the weekend having travelled up from the south of England to see Stranraer play Elgin. That A75 is a long haul from Gretna.
fantastic video stadium looks an amazing stadium
Bet I’ve heard of it as I camped at that campsite right next door to the ground in 2021. And as a result I follow them and their results on Twitter and instagram
Beautiful looking town !
Creetown fs I brought up there. When i was a kid Creetown fc looked nothing like that. Looking good... Fantastic!!
Great video. One small niggle, Galloway is not in the Border region, South West would be a more apt description.
Thanks for making these kind of videos. Keep it up 💪🏻
Been there ,what a view installed tuck shop near the turnstiles . Good connection with Kilmarnock Fc. Great video.
Dumfries and Galloway not borders
was there in may creetown v threave rovers lovely guys
both teams posed with my flag too which has my wife's name on it.
Aye! I had asked for you to visit Creetown. So glad you did. Club has come a long long way over the past 10 years.
Another great video , very interesting indeed 👍
Such a good vid - love this stuff
My club Benburb went there in the summer for a pre season friendly thoroughly enjoyed the trip nice wee club fantastic hospitality
Loving the different content at the moment, been a while since you done one of these!
Cheers Ryan!
Awesome my brother ❤
I must try and catch a match when I do my South of Scotland tour in the camper van. At least I won't have far to stagger back to the van after a few post match beers*. My wife wants to revisit the Creetown Gem & Rock museum which is well worth a visit for anyone in the area.
Annan Athletic is another club in the south with a campsite adjacent to the stadium. Ross County in Dingwall is the same but that's much further north and a lot further up the pyramid.
£4 to get in to a Tier 6 match? It's double that and more in the West Premier.
Yep, 2 pounds for the football and 2 pounds for the view.
Always enjoy your travels cheers from Tasmania
Another amazing video sam
Tweedmouth Rangers as an English team “ interloping” into Scotland would be a fun video
What a fantastic club !
Stranraerrrrr in Scotland TODAY !!! Oh me angina
That is one of the best stadiums I have ever seen! I love it
Awesome unique ground. Will try to visit
It’s a nice area about 20 minutes along the 75 from me. Great view on a clear day across the water.
Another fantastic video. Definitely hope to make it to a match at Creetown one day. Just one criticism, you keep saying Creetown is in the "Borders Region", which it most definitely is not!
Borders is in the Southeast of Scotland and contains places like Hawick, Peebles, Galashiels and Eyemouth.
Creetown is in Dumfries and Galloway Region along with Stranraer, Castle Douglas, Gretna, Annan and Dumfries itself. All the SOSFL clubs are from towns and villages in D&G region, Borders teams play in the EOSFL.
Need to go to Eriskeys ground. Actually recognised by FIFA as a place you need to play...
Lovely ground an a very honest guy. I did notice that there seemed to be no advertising boards or were they hidden ?
So what was the reason for moving to or living in Dumfries?
Fantastic video, it’s guys like him in Creetown that should be getting awards not Messi and co. Take a wee drive tae Gala and sit in a real stand this season
It’s embarrassing when Creetown have better changing rooms than Celtic Park!
Sam must be heading down to Engurland,,,,watch next upload.
imo, i think the south should merge wi the bottom tier of the west to create a regionalised bottom tier of “wos north” and “wos south” wi the winners of both entering a playoff to earn promotion
hello please come to muirkirk juniors
Sam D&G
Probably would have been quicker going down the A77 then onto A75 to creetown
A77 to Girvan. Then the newton stewart road.
It’s the pies!
Can you visit Bathgate Thistle in the east of Scotland third division league a club in west Lothian most welcome
I hate play offs & feel the league tables are too small , playing each other FOUR times then after a long season play each other in play offs again! Your season gone in two games. But A pyramid system is in place & a South team at least has the opportunity to go up. If the tables were longer, it should be automatic.
Not the Scottish Borders, it’s on the border but it’s Dumfries and Galloway…
Calling it a stadium is a bit of a compliment isn't it?
Canny believe ye done a video of Creetown FC and you never spoke to Mr Creetown, Eck Houston.
Have heard of it…..
off dumfries to stranraer road
Go to borehamwood fc
1st four letters are a clue.
Frvbmmnm krdjkl inbhkk ? 🎉
hardly call it a stadium just a local pitch
Sorry to be a pedant, but unique is a binary proposition.
There are no degrees of uniqueness. It either is, or it isn't, and every football stadium, by definition is unique.
Most unusual or most unconventional might be a better description.
Spoilt by the useless completely pointless and terrible racket,the din overpowers the excellent video.😊
