Wealdstone originally played in Harrow, ground now a Tescos. Nomadic existence for years before moving into Ruislip Manors old ground.
Barnet’s Hive was originally meant for the Stones!
Yes I was aware about the Hive, I was at that ground about a month ago, thanks for your comments 👍🏻⚽️
What a Great game Matt! Only goes to show what a smaller club like" Stone "can achieve with effort and desire!
Thanks Bruce, I love watching the smaller clubs, true fans not glory hunting 👍🏻⚽️
Nice to hear you pronounce Wealdstone correctly as lots say Wealdston some even make it sound like Willesden. Up the Stones.
Thanks Anthony, I didn’t know there was an incorrect way to pronounce it 👍🏻⚽️
Thanks for covering the Stones. As a fan I have to point out that this isn't the ground where Stuart Pearce played for us (that was Lower Mead which is now a Tesco store in Harrow). We also have plans for a new stadium (we lease Grosvenor Vale, which is in Ruislip) in Uxbridge, which is even further away from Wealdstone (where I live). Neither our current nor proposed stadium is in the London Borough of Harrow - both are in Hillingdon, whereas Barnet's ground, The Hive, is actually in Stanmore, which in the Borough of Harrow, and therefore not in the Borough of Barnet. Also Harrow Borough FC (a couple of leagues below us) is also based in Hillingdon. Are you following me so far?
I'd also point out that unlike any other team in the National League, Wealdstone is semi-professional - the highest placed such club in the FL pyramid. We operate on a shoestring budget compared to our rivals, the lowest in the League by far, and have been punching way above our weight for some years.
As for the match being a North London derby, there's a definite friction, but no animosity. We just enjoy taking points off the so-called 'bigger teams' with their greater resources and faded entitlement. They really don't like losing to 'part-timers'.
I'm glad you had an entertaining day at the Vale - even more pleased that you saw the Stones take a deserved win. :)
This is exactly why I ask people to comment, i don’t know everything about every club and I get to learn stats from fans like you, nice one 👍🏻, thanks for your comments 👍🏻⚽️
Fair enough, but we're still the highest placed part-timers (for the time being)@@Dionysos640
Couldn't have put it better myself, lower mead was a great place to watch a game, and only up the road 😢
How nice is Wealdstones kit!! Great video again mate!
It is , any kit that`s Blue shirts , white shorts and white socks is quality . UTFT
Thanks Scoops, appreciate it from a fellow Gills fan UTG 👍🏻
After seeing a last minute winner by Wealdstone on my football app, I was looking forward to this video! Did not disappoint. Great content again mate.
Nice one, thanks for your comments as always 👍🏻 UTG 👍🏻⚽️
What a game Matt it had everything you want in a good football match, goals and passionate rivalry between two local teams and not a bad attendance, some league 2 teams would be jealous. Once again enjoyed your blog from Brian from Perth Western Australia 🇦🇺 and by the way its 37 degrees 😅
Nice one Brian but surely a 3 degrees Wealdstone is more appealing than a 30+degrees in Perth ….. NOT…. thanks for your comments 👍🏻⚽️🇦🇺
Quality video mate! Looked a great game
Thanks for your comments, it was a good day 👍🏻⚽️
It’s more of a rivalry than a true derby. Wealdstone vs Hendon in the 60s/70s, vs Enfield in the 80s and more recently vs the Cuckoos (cos they stole Wealdstone’s new ground after the builders went bankrupt). Wealdstone vs Harrow Boro would be a local derby but Harrow don’t count 😂. Vinnie Jones also played for the Stones and was in the squad for the Wembley final in ‘85.
Also, subscribed ✅
I didn’t know about Vinnie Jones, thanks for the fact and the sub 👍🏻⚽️
Well worth freezing your oliocks Matt. Great scenes at the end for Wealdstone. Didnt do Barnets cause any good. Reckon Chesterfield will march that league, so its a question of the playoffs. See you next weekend at the gills then. No coverage anywhere else mate, so get some good footage in ok lol. Cheers Dave
Thanks Berlin Dave, hopefully tomorrows game isn’t called off due to a frozen pitch or snow ❄️ Agreed about Chesterfield, it is their turn for promotion ⬆️
Top draw.....top post...and yes I have subscribed
Nice one, thanks Patrick 👍🏻⚽️
I grew up in Harrow & Wealdstone. So naturally I grew up following Spurs in the 80s. Still recall walking with my mum in Wealdstone market non match day pre Tescos in my dim memory, on High Mead I think
80’s was the best decade 👍🏻⚽️
Why would anyone naturally follow Tottenham if they were brought up in wealdstone? It's not a even remotely a Tottenham area!
@@paulw6183 you’re absolutely right - depends when you were 7 years old (it was Liverpool or Spurs - Spurs are a just a tad closer) - who won what and who your next door neighbours supported. And as I now work in Luton - I hate Watford even more
@PHDiaz-vv7yo
I know there's a lot of Tottenham around Stanmore and hatch end but most of my mates from wealdstone were arsenal, chelsea, even qpr, a few Tottenham but maybe I'm a bit younger. My wife's family are all watford so the feeling is mutual, not that I can understand how anyone can hate watford
@@paulw6183 trust me- as I negotiate the drunks hanging outside the Luton Arndale centre to grab lunch you can feel the Hornet Rage 😂
You are very close to the action there when the players were over your side of the pitch. I didn't see the Wealdstone Raider though.
Any closer and I could of had a run out, no I did look out for him but our paths did not cross
"do you want some"
You’ve got no fans, you’ve got no ground …. Classic, thanks for your comments 👍🏻⚽️
Hi from Australia. I notice how dark it is by the end of the game. Why don't the games start earlier than 3.00 pm?
Thanks David, it is tradition on a Saturday for a 3pm kick off and i can’t see it changing anytime soon, thanks for your comments 👍🏻⚽️🇦🇺
Because we have lights
@@AB-kx4ncvery good 😅
I have a slight soft spot for Stones, saw them when they had a very decent ground within Wealdstone. Pearce never played here,and it's a dump,unfit for Nat League.
I admire the way their fans kept the club alive.
Thanks for your comments, wonder if they will relocate at some point in the medium term future? 👍🏻⚽️
How come I always want to watch your videos, while I'm not in the least bit interested in MOTD ?
What a great compliment 👍🏻 I can’t answer that but I haven’t seen MOTD for years, thanks for your comments 👍🏻⚽️
Who are the real stones? Maidstone or Wealdstone?
I could cover the stones derby 👍🏻
Old ground was called lower mead, plenty of pictures and UA-cam clips available. CTFC!
Thanks Steve, yes I have been doing some additional research 👍🏻⚽️
A local derby is could you push a wheelbarrow full of spuds to it .
I think there pushing the derby franchise a bit lol 😂
You clearly don't know the history
Thanks Martin but when they play teams like Gateshead and Hartlepool in the league then this surely must be a local derby 👍🏻
Not a north London Derby
Ok, is it still a derby?
More west really
Barnet were originally from North London ɓut did a mk dons and move away from the famous underhill sadly leaving many old time fans behind hense the poor attendances
@@davidmoss8301 it’s a northish derby 👍🏻
