With the World Cup coming up on Sunday, we thought we would change things up a bit and check out some of your stadiums. We wanted to see the places that you as fans spend your time whilst cheering on your teams. There's so many more stadiums than we could have imagined and they are all very interesting! If you enjoy this trip around the English Premier League Stadiums, drop us a Like. Thanks so much for watching!
The yellow colour on the pitch under the white frames that you asked about @The Natasha & Debbie Show are actually a tool for the groundsman, they are lights that recreate sunlight so that the grass can grow through photosynthesis.
Spurs, sorry, Tottenham, actually have 2 interchangeable pitches. One for Football and the other for that NFL stuff that is used 2 or 3 times a year by your USA teams. As a traditionalist, who in my 68 years, remembers ALL Stasiums being individual and unique, this is the only modern stadium that I prefer to the original. That original Olympic 2012 Londo Stadium(now rented to West Ham United) holds 60,000 but has a fraction of the intimate, passionate atmosphere of their old Upton Park stadium and 7 miles is a longggggg distance in moving Football Stadiums and most fans still hate the move 5 years on.
THE team to look out for are Newcastle United and though the most Northernmost City, their fans can not get an Away ticket anywhere in the Country outside their 3,000 Away allocation. They NOW have TEN TIMES more money than the next 10 World Sports Clubs (All Sports) COMBINED and are owned by The Saudi Arabian Royal Family.almost relegated in this season(2021/22) but escaped and this season are now 3rd out of 20 teams. An extraordinary change in fortunes. They have not won any Trophy since 1969 but that will change and the BEST fans in England will deserve it. They used to take 10,000 to the other end of the Country when they were in The SECOND TIER !!!
Not many stadiums in the UK have roofs that can close. Despite the weather. It don't matter if it rains, snows. Hot or cold. The football match will continue to be played 😉
I'm a Tottenham Hotspurs fan and what you will like is that the pitch changes into your American football Field. You should see if you can find a video about the ground and how it does it. The lights you see over the grass on a few pictures are extra strong special lights to simulate the sun to help growth of the pitch. Come on you Spurs. That's what we call ourselves Spurs fans.
The white frames at Leicester are special/lamps/heaters deigned to help grass grow during the winter. They are only in use when there is no football (during the week). Most grounds have them
I worked on the big stand at St James Park .Home of Newcastle United.. installing the glass roof. We left a time capsule in the end row.. The ground is in the city centre ..
My Dad was Stadium Manager at Villa Park and his first job as a volunteer was mending 22 leaks In The Holte End so that a game could go ahead.This was in the late 60s when Villa Park was dilapidated and neglected.Villa were in the old 3rd division. He helped turn the Stadium into the impressive(in my opinion) ground that it is today.He retired in 1998.RIP Dad.
Villa Park was built with that red brick facade to look like the Jacobean stately home Aston Hall that is on the hill above it. Its one of the oldest and most historic stadiums in English football, Aston Villa's co-owner Wes Edens who also part owns the Milwaukee Bucks described Villa Park as the Fenway Park of English football.
The yellow colour on the pitch under the white frames that you asked about @The Natasha & Debbie Show are actually a tool for the groundsman, they are lights that recreate sunlight so that the grass can grow through photosynthesis.
Usually some parts of the field have less sunlight cause of stadium cover so those light halp even the grass as well. This is common on any tall or roofed stadium.
@@henriquesardique6562 Rochdale AFC use these lights too it help the grass grow and our stands aren’t very tall the capacity of the stadium is only just under 10,000.
look at scottish grounds not as large as EPL grounds apart from two, but more quirky, take Dundee the two teams grounds are so close that on derby days, players walk from one to the other
The red contraption outside West Ham's London stadium in Stratford is the ArcelorMittal Orbit. It was converted into a tunnel slide after the 2012 Olympics. You need a strong stomach to go down it as it is the world’s tallest and longest slide - a hair-raising experience, not for the faint-hearted.
@The Yorkshireman Reacts It isn't "just a slide". Part of the slide is made of glass & protrudes out of the side of the metal structure. If you're so brave, you slide down it.
Yes do a vid of Newcastle :) it's my home city and St James park has been my cathedral for many many years :) currently we are looking at expansion options with capacity of around 65,000 or, we may move to a new stadium with a capacity of up to 80,000, one thing about the stadium is it is right in the city centre and on matchdays there are over 120 pubs within half a mile to have your pre/post match drinks :) Howay the Lads!
The Tottenham (Tott’num) stadium you were impressed by is designed to play NFL games too - there’s an NFL field *underneath* the soccer pitch. There’s an 8 minute video out there about it called some like ‘How Tottenham Stadium moves it’s 9000 tonne pitch’
@@paulguise698 I travel regularly to the U.S. for NFL and College games 😉 you can just call it a field, or you can use gridiron to refer to the sport too - but I’m sure you knew that already
Ladies... I've been through hell and back after dying recently. I recently died, and have recently fallen in love with your channel. Thank you. I appreciate your humour, and you make me laugh... something I thought was impossible a short time ago! All my thanks!
You also get quite WET when it rains if your in the lower stands lol. It's also called the cathedral on the hill, and fans up in the northeast always ask you what's your religion, black and white or copycats red and white Sunderland. The homes on our East stand is a long row of victorian homes, and are grade 1 or 2 listed, and our old owner sold every inch he could so we cannot expand, meaning if an extension is coming with the new owners it will have to be a new stadium, unless they dig down and turn 90°. If your ever over again visiting, the percy Arms is a beautiful old pub (opposite eldon square and haymarket bus station) with loads of nufc memorabilia, same as the strawberry pub opposite the cathedral.
Never heard of Tottenham Hotspur, tut tut. One of the biggest teams in Europe; currently 4th in Premier League. Have been supporting them since the 1960's! Former USA goal-keeper Brad Friedel played for them in early 2000's.😊
You mentioned the housing and buildings around the different grounds...I was born and brought up just a few hundred yards from the Spurs Ground (Tottenham Hotspur) pronounced ' Totnum!' If you're from round there!! My Aunt lived across the road from the old ground and you could partially watch the game from her balcony. During games you could hear the cheering and chanting from our back garden. The new stadium looks like something from outer space dropped from the sky into a completely different time zone! Its the only way I can describe it (diplomatically)!!
I have been going to Molineux since 1979, its right in the centre of Wolverhampton. Its a really traditional club, we are in the Premier league now, although we are having a really bad season and may well get relegated. But I have been going down the Wolves more or less every week for 42 years even when we were in the 4th division. Following your local club is a deep tradition that anchors you to the area where you live, all the generations of people before, the history, the memories I still get a buzz when the ground is packed and the atmosphere builds.
16:21 Newcastle United’s ground is St. James’ Park (SJP). Also known as ‘The Cathedral on the Hill’ where 52K Geordies go to worship! The ground is one of the few stadiums in the very centre of a city. As it’s on a hill you can see SJP from miles around.🖤🤍⚽️
It’s in an area called Beeston . People in the area get use to it being loud. It has got a green light to be upgraded to hold around 55-60k instead of the previous 50k. It’s better holding 55-60k because of the clubs ever growing fan base. The record crowd it had has stood since 15th March 1967 when Leeds played Sunderland in front of 57,892 fans. On the opposite side of the car park behind the west stand is a brand new ice rink where they play ice hockey. Leeds is the biggest club in Yorkshire. MOT ALAW WACCOE
The runabout next the Arsenal Stadium 3:30, is small! That's on a back road with 3 exits, they get bigger and more complicated on bigger main roads in the UK, also the original Arsenal stadium, which is very close to the new one, was built in a very densely populated London streets full of homes, you could walk through the streets, and you wouldn't be able to see the ground once until you got onto the street.
The original Crystal Palace was built in Hyde Park in London for the Great Exhibition of 1851. It was moved out to the suburb it gave its name to after the exhibition finished before burning down in 1936.
@@TheNatashaDebbieShow Crystal Palace have just got planning permission to improve the ground and the outside of main stand will become big and glass, inspired by the original Crystal Palace - just as the guy who made the video was suggesting.
Old Trafford is an area of Greater Manchester where I used to live, the stadium is about two miles from the city centre of Manchester on the border of Salford, Stretford and Manchester, my first time there was in 1964, there's also a cricket stadium just down Warwick road
I loved this video. I've been going to watch Tottenham play for 32 years. Our love for Spurs brought me and my best friend together in secondary school and we are still best friends today. We went to the past match at the old White Hart Lane together and the first match at the new Tottenham Hotspur stadium. She goes on her own now. If you get a chance to go to a game, you should. It's hard to describe the feeling.
I went to the old White Hart Lane many times. always on the 'Shelf' with a few of my Spurs mates when Arsenal played to far for me to travel, Hated the fences, but the new Stadium is epic, well done. from a Gooner.
@ 12:46 - These are frames that house lighting that replicates the sun to promote the growth of grass. All the pitches are grass but the variety found and planted in the UK struggles to grow in the winter which coincides with roughly a 1/3rd of the football season. Enclosed stadiums also restrict the amount of direct sunglight the pitch gets during the winter (due to the sun being lower in the sky). They are the same type of lights that "specialist" plant growers use when cultivating a certain plant indoors.
The buildings your paused on when looking at St James' Park, they mostly belong to Newcastle University. As do the buildings on the other side, they are older Georgian/ Victorian buildings that can't be touched, hence why the club can't expand on that side.
You girls should come to England and go to a game and get a sense of the atmosphere created at these grounds. It is a great day out. As a Wolves fan the Molineux does have a great match day atmosphere
Off topic - you said roundabouts scare you - take a look at the Majic Roundabout at Swindon. It absolutely scares everyone, except the locals. I encounted it by accident whilst going on holiday - I still have nigghtmares🤣
The "thing" beside the West Ham stadium was built for the 2012 Olympics as a viewing platform. Called the ArcellorMittal Orbital, its been converted a bit and is now the worlds longest tunnel slide.
The Tottenham stadium features include an in-house bakery and the world's first microbrewery in a stadium, which can produce 1 million pints of craft beer a year and deliver up to 10,000 pints a minute.
The Tottenham Hotspur stadium is the only ground in the country that features a retractable pitch. The grass for soccer is on a roller system which rolls under the main stand revealing an NFL pitch and has a 10 year contract with the NFL with at least 2 games per year. The comments from the players confirm this is one of the most impressive stadiums in the world. It's also regularly used for concerts and boxing.
Hi Ladies, I just love the enthusiasm and honesty you bring to your reaction videos. Just last Sunday, I had my 1st visit to the Tottenham Hotspur stadium to watch a rugby match between The Barbarians and a New Zealand team. I was very impressed with my 1st view, and the atmosphere was very good. My favourite team, Ipswich Town, currently play in the 3rd tier (confusingly called Division One) and have played at the same Portman Road site since 1884, where in 1890, they were one of the 1st clubs to use nets within the goal frames. Please keep up the great reviews, and look after each other. Thank you, Nigel Baldwin
Hiya Adam, I'm a Newcastle fan also, have you subscribed to The Toon Review, Adam Pearson, PD Proudlock and John Sinclair TV, the toon review is the best channel Paul, Billy and Alex do Live streams 5 days a week plus daily News on Newcastle United usually 7 days a week if its busy in the transfer market,
Hi ladies, hope you are both well. Thanks for your appreciation of my beloved team's stadium, namely Totttenham Hotspur or more commonly known as Spurs, you asked for more clarification. I happen to be a massive Spurs fan and I have a season ticket in that beautiful bowl, worhipping every other week at the shrine of Harry Kane, Heung Min Son (Sonny to us) and the rest. Thanks for showing your appreciation for our Premier League stadiums in general, I am of an age when I remember English grounds from the mid 60's (my first game was in 66 aged 9 when I was first taken by my Dad) and they are absolutely unrecognisable now from those ancient places where we used to watch our football all those years ago. Bye for now, best of luck in the upcoming World Cup, apart from when you play my England that is!
Fun fact a lot of the teams have a long history and have nicknames that reflect this . Everton became known as The Toffees , there stadium was near to a sweet factory . Out this in for Debbie to savour .
Hi, The structure by The London Stadium (West Ham) is the ArcelorMittal Orbit Stratford. It is an Observation Tower and a Slide, similar to a Helter-Skelter. It is the largest piece of public art in the Britain. It was constructed for the 2012 Olympics, the area is the Olympic Park.
Newcastle United's ground is called St, James Park, or " The Cathedral on the Hill" and it's literally in the centre of the city, everyone always calls the team the " Toon " and the fans are known as the " Toon Army " .My eldest son made sure that all 3 of his boys where born in the RVI Hospital which is just over the road from the ground hoping that at least one of my grandsons might play in the famed number 9 shirt. As a family where all season ticket holders and loving that currently where 3rd in the Premier league. Howay the lads.
Newcastle - my least favourite ground. Only because it feels like you have to walk up 400 flights of stairs to get to the away end.........and it's a long way back to Brum after you've been smashed 4 - 0 😂😂😂
@@dazo69 Divvent fret canny lad, it's all good exercise for yer legs, you should see us Geordies flitting up and doon them stairs on Match Days. Sorry aboot the 4- 0 thrashing, 🤣.
Traditionally, as football was more of a working class sport at the time, stadia would usually be in the city/town centre or near a significant residential area so as many people as possible could attend. Over time though, as stadium infrastructure has improved, city centres have developed and clubs desire for a whole area around the stadium for shops and fan zones increased, more and more teams moved away from those city centre/residential areas to locations just outside the main town/city. As more and more teams choose to build new stadiums over redeveloping their current ones, this will become more common. That’s a reason why, as a lifelong Wolves fan, I love Molineux. It’s right in the city centre, no more than 10 minutes walk from the train station and right near loads of houses and a supermarket. There may be plans to redevelop it, but the fact the club will be staying in our home of 133 years is a point of comfort and pride for me.
I have only ever been there twice but Molineux is my local stadium home of Wolves(Wolverhampton Wanderers) It was named after the Molineux family , Benjamin Molineux brought the land in 1744 and built Molineux house a mansion, his family lived there and sold it in the 1860s and the grounds became the first public park in Wolverhampton, later to become Molineux Stadium and the house became Molineux Hotel. The building still stands and is still known as Molineux house or hotel, is a listed building and holds the cities archives.
I'm pretty sure those things on the pitch at Leicesters stadium are basically giant hydroponic grow lights. If you notice the shadow on the pitch from the roof. it means one end of the pitch doesn't get as much sunlight as the other side, so they set up those lights to keep the colour of the grass consistent, otherwise the pitch would be half green and half yellow
I'm not a big football fan, (always support England though) but this was a good video, i loved the look of the tottenham stadium in London that looked cool, also liked the London Stadium. I also like the look of Wembley stadium which they didn't show in this but it hosts major football matches, concerts etc.
One of the things with English football grounds is, yes, they have housing estates around them. Most of the old ones are more than 100 years old and were either built on small plots of land to start with or the houses have been built close by as the cities have expanded. It’s why our stadiums often look ‘lop sided’, there’s usually not space to redevelop all of the stands
Great reaction Natasha & Debbie! It was good to see you stop at my local Stadium, St James Park, Newcastle. It's a fantastic Stadium and in the centre of Newcastle. I would love to see you do a reaction to the Newcastle area and I totally recommend this guy on youtube Gimbal Walk TV - Tour of Newcastle Quayside from Tyne Bridge to Castle, this truly shows you what a beautiful place Newcastle is. Gimbal Walk TV also video walks of other areas of the UK, this just might get you hooked!
My great uncle played for Aston Villa back in the 1930’s. He was a great person that got my dad into football then my dad took me to Villa Park at an early age which I still go. My Great uncle lived 30 miles away from Villa Park and he used to cycle before the game and cycle back home. Best way to keep fit!lol! His name is William “Billy” Goffin. Aston Villa is Prince Williams team also Tom Hanks and many more famous people ❤
Nice! My great uncle played for and managed Tottenham during the 60s, but my mum supports arsenal and I support Liverpool because of my dad. His name was bill nicholson
When you mentioned living next to a stadium, we did in Stirling (Scotland), literally next to the wall of the stadium. I have always loved football and at 11 I sat on our wall (ladder useful) and had a perfect view of the match.
Aston Villas stadium (Villa Park) is going to upgraded a little in next couple of years with the capacity going up to 55k. I used to walk past the Amex (Brighton & Hove Albion)on my way to my daughters every week it’s a lovely stadium & named after the Brightons biggest employer American Express.
I live just up the road from Bramell Lane the ground of Sheffield United, from the balcony of my flat on match days i can hear the cheering and booing during the match.
I was raised a couple of miles away from Elland Road in the 70's. They had the largest floodlights in Europe back then. I remember first of all you could hear the roar when they scored a goal even that far away, and at night the whole sky was lit up by the floodlights like something from a SciFi movie. And yes those are houses, on the other side is a hill called Beeston hill where more houses overlook the ground.
Totenham's stadium is used for NFL games in London. If you hear about a NFL game being played in the UK these days it is usually at their ground. They have a retractble pitch at the stadium. The pitch on top moves under the single tiered stand and there is an NFL pitch underneath.
The London Stadium (home of west ham united) is inside what was the Olympic park (home of the 2012 Olympics, the strange shaped edifice on the left is the 'orbit' a viewing platform with lifts to the top and a spiral slide going down if you're feeling brave enough?
The sculpture you called a Hooka (I laughed so much when you said that) outside London stadium (west hams stadium) , is called the ArcelorMittal Orbit, it was installed for the 2012 Olympics, and is like a super large helter skelter ride. Not sure how much it is to enter, but you get quite the view of London before sliding back down the worlds largest slide.
You asked us to let you know if we would like you to do a video on Newcastle. Well at least some of us would like that very much. Also, thank you for your exemplary position on the world cup. Best wishes from .... Newcastle. 🇺🇲🏴🇬🇧
yes make please make a video on my beloved football club Newcastle United, the city is a fantastic place and the stadium is on the highest part of the city and we call it the cathedral on the hill. we are some of the loudest and passionate fans in the world.
Alot of football stadiums have houses around them because everything as to fit somewhere. The lights on the pitch are sun lamps which helps promote growth from the grass, my teams Stoke City and the stadium is called the BET 365 Staduim , because the owners of Stoke City also own the betting company BET 365 so they brought the name from the City Council as before it was known as the Britannia Staduim, our Staduim holds 28,000 fans not massive but big enough. Another's great video.
I lived right next to the Norwich City football stadium in a Victorian Terraced house. Sometimes you could not hear any noise at all if the wind was blowing away from the house but other times it can be deafening. Worst thing was the traffic before and after games where you can’t too or from your house.

Hi, as a Spurs (Tottenham Hotspurs) fan I love you thing the new stadium is cool. As well as the NFL pitch it has a number of other unique features. The stands are steep and as close to the pitch to give fans the best view. It has also been designed to maximize noise in the stadium and has extensions on the roof to rebound the sound back into the stadium. It also has an enormously long bar inside the stands that serves drinks from a unique system from the bottom of the glass upwards. You should react to any of the videos showing tours of the stadium.
That's a great idea. It is a truly amazing stadium. I've been a lot and whatever other fans say about the team, they are always wowed by the stadium and the atmosphere.
Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has an NFL pitch hidden away to the side. At the press of a button, the football (soccer?) pitch retracts and the NFL pitch takes it's place. Like something out of Thunderbirds. The pitch not currently in use stays under UV grow lamps and irrigation to keep it green while not in use.
I always enjoy your videos. My great-grandfather would have visited Molineux in its early days to watch the then mighty Wolverhampton Wanderers (aka Wolves 🐺). They used to be one of the top clubs in England. They are my team as well. Molineux is named after a successful merchant of the city (a Benjamin Molineux) and Wolves was one of the first clubs to install floodlights back in the 1950s to host evening matches (including against big European teams). The stadium does need a bit of an upgrade now though.
@The Yorkshireman Reacts I guess it’s a matter of perspective when compared to some of the other Premier League stadiums. Molineux is pretty good for an English stadium in general, yes.
Tottenham's motto is audere~est~facere which translates to to dare is to do. The stadium has an NFL field under our football pitch, and it has a micro brewery and an in house bakery in inside the stadium
FYI, it was Highbury that was called the library, mainly due to the low acoustics and the stands being far from the pitch, When Arsenal moved to the Emirates, the atmosphere is far better, especially this season as we are top and the fans are in good voice) There are 92 teams in the Football League, 20 in the Premiership, 24 teams in Championship, 24 in League 1 and 24 in League 2. Clubs range from every county and have between 2 and up to 12 (12 being in London, which is split between 2 or more clubs in each London area, i.e North London, South London, West and East London). My Team Arsenal is North London, just off Holloway Road, and is the only Team to have an Underground station named after it. Which is about 2 min away from the stadium itself. Our rivals are Tottenham, who are about a mile away from us, and who are also rubbish and reason they have a nice stadium is because they dont need to pay for cleaning of trophies 😉 Its obviously the biggest rivalry in London and in top 2 in the country, possibly Liverpool v United only rivalling it. But if you come to a game in England, make sure you learn of the club you are going to see and who they play. If you want atmosphere and hopefully a great game, regardless of Arsenal v Spurs (short name for Tottenham due to full name is Tottenham hotspurs), any london derby would be good, or if up north, obviously Liverpool, Manchester United/City or Newcastle games would be good. In Midlands obviously Aston Villa, or Wolves. near the south coast Southampton or Portsmouth and even shift Wales as they have 3 teams in the English League, Cardiff, Swansea being the big 2 Welsh teams. And opposite them there is the East coast of teams like Norwich etc. So anywhere you visit will have at least 2 teams in the area.
Some teams like Woolwich Arsenal are like American franchises and had to move from Woolwich to North London to attract fans. Arsenal are also the only team to be elected into the top tier despite finishing 6th in the 2nd tier.
@@zgasnola Arsenal moved as they could not get planning permission to expand. And Norris failed attempt to merge with Fulham (he was Fulham chairman before buying Arsenal). Also it was amended to 5th in 1975 for the 1914/15 season due to miscalculations of points. And Arsenal was voted in by other members, inc Liverpool who some say was the influential vote. It was a democratic way, if not perfect. Chelsea also got elected into the 1st division as they were relegated in 1914/15 season. Reason was because Man U and Liverpool deliberately fixed their final game so United stayed up and Chelsea go down. So they got a special vote due to this.
roofs was added to the stands because of the regular wet weather but one of the design briefs is they have to be acoustically good to give the fans a louder voice at matches and to reduce the noise coming out of the stadium hence the canopy designs now seen at most stadiums
Most English stadiums host weddings. My nephew, whose wife is a big Wolverhampton (wolves) fan were married there. Photos taken on the pitch. When i first lived in Scotland, i was right next to Aberdeen FC, you cannot take your car out on match days. Live back in Leeds now, well in the suburbs. My 2nd cousin is married to a well known 60s Leeds player. Not a lover of football but did go to the odd match with my Dad when i was little.
Outside the Molineux Stadium is a statue of Billy Wright who was not only captain of Wolves for many years but also captained England no less than 90 times. He was the first footballer to win 100 international caps and is a club legend ❤️. Talking of legends, a lifelong Wolves fan and also Vice President of the club is a certain Mr Robert Plant 😎👍
The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (the club also goes by its nickname of SPURS) has some unique features, along with the duel pitches that change when the NFL roll into town for the International series in October every year (2 games are played there and 1 at Wembley Stadium) there are 2 other things that make it stand out. The stadium has Europe's longest bar at 65m long with refilling pumps. And as the video pointed out the 'Cock' or Cockerel (the club mascot) is on the top of the roof, you can get up close to that if you wish as you can do the Dare Skywalk, a roof walk where at one point if you are brave enough walk on a 48m glass walkway that makes its way around the mascot. Talking of mascots and back to NFL briefly Jacksonville Jaguars are the "home" team when they travel to play in London, The Jaguars are owned by Shad Khan who is also the owner of Fulham F.C, and their mascot Jaxson De Ville has a habit of leaping of the roof down to the pitch on a bungee before a game (like he does at US games)
I live near the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal's home ground. I preferred Arsenal's old stadium in Highbury North London before they moved 10 minutes down the road although the new one gives fans the chance to have their name put on paving stones outside the stadium like the Hollywood walk of fame. Old Trafford is the largest Premier League Stadium but Wembley Stadium is the largest Stadium as it holds 90,000, Wembley Stadium is the England Football team's home ground. That red thing next to the London Stadium (Olympic Stadium) is the ArcelorMittal Orbit (Orbit Tower) basically a sculpture but also an observation tower in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford, which wasn't unveiled until the London Olympics in 2012.
Awww 2 of my favourite you tubers! You always make me smile ..can I add Debbie has the most lovely laugh it's so endearing..❤..yes I will be boycotting the world cup and I think millions around the world will be! Great video as always ..❤
Newcastle greatest team and city on the world. Glad you both love the hallowed ground. If you both ever come over to the UK, you really need to visit the city.
I lived a street away from Highfield Road when i was a kid. It wasn't too weird but every other Saturday there would be tonnes of people on the street and it was normal for people to board up windows just in case. I do miss the residential aspect of older stadiums as most newer stadiums are built out of town so you can put eateries etc in the same complex
Great video ladies! My Dad got to see a match at the TQL stadium a couple of months ago while he was in Cincinnati! A family friend is one of the coaches so he got to go for free. He also went to see them play in Washington DC on the same trip. So he now supports both Wolverhampton Wanderers and FC Cincinnati 🤣🤣
With the World Cup coming up on Sunday, we thought we would change things up a bit and check out some of your stadiums. We wanted to see the places that you as fans spend your time whilst cheering on your teams. There's so many more stadiums than we could have imagined and they are all very interesting! If you enjoy this trip around the English Premier League Stadiums, drop us a Like. Thanks so much for watching!
The yellow colour on the pitch under the white frames that you asked about @The Natasha & Debbie Show are actually a tool for the groundsman, they are lights that recreate sunlight so that the grass can grow through photosynthesis.
I worked at the oldest professional football ground in the world Bramall Lane Sheffield for 13 years.
Spurs, sorry, Tottenham, actually have 2 interchangeable pitches. One for Football and the other for that NFL stuff that is used 2 or 3 times a year by your USA teams.
As a traditionalist, who in my 68 years, remembers ALL Stasiums being individual and unique, this is the only modern stadium that I prefer to the original.
That original Olympic 2012 Londo Stadium(now rented to West Ham United) holds 60,000 but has a fraction of the intimate, passionate atmosphere of their old Upton Park stadium and 7 miles is a longggggg distance in moving Football Stadiums and most fans still hate the move 5 years on.
Love football but this will be the first tournament that I will be missing. I'm sure the reasons for this are obvious.
THE team to look out for are Newcastle United and though the most Northernmost City, their fans can not get an Away ticket anywhere in the Country outside their 3,000 Away allocation. They NOW have TEN TIMES more money than the next 10 World Sports Clubs (All Sports) COMBINED and are owned by The Saudi Arabian Royal Family.almost relegated in this season(2021/22) but escaped and this season are now 3rd out of 20 teams. An extraordinary change in fortunes. They have not won any Trophy since 1969 but that will change and the BEST fans in England will deserve it. They used to take 10,000 to the other end of the Country when they were in The SECOND TIER !!!
Not many stadiums in the UK have roofs that can close. Despite the weather.
It don't matter if it rains, snows. Hot or cold. The football match will continue to be played 😉
How about one. In Cardiff.

I'm a Tottenham Hotspurs fan and what you will like is that the pitch changes into your American football Field. You should see if you can find a video about the ground and how it does it. The lights you see over the grass on a few pictures are extra strong special lights to simulate the sun to help growth of the pitch. Come on you Spurs. That's what we call ourselves Spurs fans.
The white frames at Leicester are special/lamps/heaters deigned to help grass grow during the winter. They are only in use when there is no football (during the week). Most grounds have them
I worked on the big stand at St James Park .Home of Newcastle United.. installing the glass roof. We left a time capsule in the end row.. The ground is in the city centre ..
The Lighting on the pitch is artificial sunlight to help the grass grow.
2:19 She said football (not soccer), I'm watching until the end. ♥️🤍🙏🏾
My Dad was Stadium Manager at Villa Park and his first job as a volunteer was mending 22 leaks In The Holte End so that a game could go ahead.This was in the late 60s when Villa Park was dilapidated and neglected.Villa were in the old 3rd division. He helped turn the Stadium into the impressive(in my opinion) ground that it is today.He retired in 1998.RIP Dad.
Holt end in the sky rip your dad
Villa Park was built with that red brick facade to look like the Jacobean stately home Aston Hall that is on the hill above it. Its one of the oldest and most historic stadiums in English football, Aston Villa's co-owner Wes Edens who also part owns the Milwaukee Bucks described Villa Park as the Fenway Park of English football.
The yellow colour on the pitch under the white frames that you asked about @The Natasha & Debbie Show are actually a tool for the groundsman, they are lights that recreate sunlight so that the grass can grow through photosynthesis.
Usually some parts of the field have less sunlight cause of stadium cover so those light halp even the grass as well. This is common on any tall or roofed stadium.
In conjunction with undersoil heating and sprinkler systems.
@@henriquesardique6562 Rochdale AFC use these lights too it help the grass grow and our stands aren’t very tall the capacity of the stadium is only just under 10,000.
look at scottish grounds not as large as EPL grounds apart from two, but more quirky, take Dundee the two teams grounds are so close that on derby days, players walk from one to the other
The red contraption outside West Ham's London stadium in Stratford is the ArcelorMittal Orbit. It was converted into a tunnel slide after the 2012 Olympics. You need a strong stomach to go down it as it is the world’s tallest and longest slide - a hair-raising experience, not for the faint-hearted.
English Premier League with no English players lmfao the English arre vanishing from football TV & Streets 2070 the white British will be the minority
@The Yorkshireman Reacts It isn't "just a slide". Part of the slide is made of glass & protrudes out of the side of the metal structure. If you're so brave, you slide down it.
You need a strong stomach to watch the hammers play in the stadium itself the slide just puts you in the right mood
Yes do a vid of Newcastle :) it's my home city and St James park has been my cathedral for many many years :) currently we are looking at expansion options with capacity of around 65,000 or, we may move to a new stadium with a capacity of up to 80,000, one thing about the stadium is it is right in the city centre and on matchdays there are over 120 pubs within half a mile to have your pre/post match drinks :) Howay the Lads!
The Tottenham (Tott’num) stadium you were impressed by is designed to play NFL games too - there’s an NFL field *underneath* the soccer pitch. There’s an 8 minute video out there about it called some like ‘How Tottenham Stadium moves it’s 9000 tonne pitch’
That's a good video
Well worth a watch 👍
Hiya Vaud, the NFL pitch is called a gridiron, just to let you know
@@paulguise698 I travel regularly to the U.S. for NFL and College games 😉 you can just call it a field, or you can use gridiron to refer to the sport too - but I’m sure you knew that already
@@vaudevillian7 I Did not know that, until now
Ladies... I've been through hell and back after dying recently. I recently died, and have recently fallen in love with your channel. Thank you.
I appreciate your humour, and you make me laugh... something I thought was impossible a short time ago! All my thanks!
Massive Arsenal fan and very nicely sitting at the top of the league 😁
How did that turn out 😅. Just banter no malice 😊.
You also get quite WET when it rains if your in the lower stands lol.
It's also called the cathedral on the hill, and fans up in the northeast always ask you what's your religion, black and white or copycats red and white Sunderland.
The homes on our East stand is a long row of victorian homes, and are grade 1 or 2 listed, and our old owner sold every inch he could so we cannot expand, meaning if an extension is coming with the new owners it will have to be a new stadium, unless they dig down and turn 90°.
If your ever over again visiting, the percy Arms is a beautiful old pub (opposite eldon square and haymarket bus station) with loads of nufc memorabilia, same as the strawberry pub opposite the cathedral.
Lived in Newcastle for a few years, and it was great to hear the huge roar wash over the city centre when a home goal was scored.

Never heard of Tottenham Hotspur, tut tut. One of the biggest teams in Europe; currently 4th in Premier League. Have been supporting them since the 1960's! Former USA goal-keeper Brad Friedel played for them in early 2000's.😊
First English team to conquer Europe
You mentioned the housing and buildings around the different grounds...I was born and brought up just a few hundred yards from the Spurs Ground (Tottenham Hotspur) pronounced ' Totnum!' If you're from round there!! My Aunt lived across the road from the old ground and you could partially watch the game from her balcony. During games you could hear the cheering and chanting from our back garden. The new stadium looks like something from outer space dropped from the sky into a completely different time zone! Its the only way I can describe it (diplomatically)!!
yes do one on newcastle ....the 'castle' in newcastle was built in 1145 approx, beautiful city plenty history.
I have been going to Molineux since 1979, its right in the centre of Wolverhampton. Its a really traditional club, we are in the Premier league now, although we are having a really bad season and may well get relegated. But I have been going down the Wolves more or less every week for 42 years even when we were in the 4th division. Following your local club is a deep tradition that anchors you to the area where you live, all the generations of people before, the history, the memories I still get a buzz when the ground is packed and the atmosphere builds.
I have only visited molineux once but was very impressed, it was empty at the time but the atmosphere was cool
Hi Ho Wolverhampton!!! And you can see Robert Plant singing that often enough. Where else could you go to see Led Zep's singer covering Jeff Beck
It all went downhill for Wolves when they started hitting off at Arsenal and then they were put in their place. Again, and again, and again.
16:21 Newcastle United’s ground is St. James’ Park (SJP). Also known as ‘The Cathedral on the Hill’ where 52K Geordies go to worship! The ground is one of the few stadiums in the very centre of a city. As it’s on a hill you can see SJP from miles around.🖤🤍⚽️
It’s in an area called Beeston . People in the area get use to it being loud. It has got a green light to be upgraded to hold around 55-60k instead of the previous 50k. It’s better holding 55-60k because of the clubs ever growing fan base. The record crowd it had has stood since 15th March 1967 when Leeds played Sunderland in front of 57,892 fans. On the opposite side of the car park behind the west stand is a brand new ice rink where they play ice hockey. Leeds is the biggest club in Yorkshire. MOT ALAW WACCOE
The runabout next the Arsenal Stadium 3:30, is small! That's on a back road with 3 exits, they get bigger and more complicated on bigger main roads in the UK, also the original Arsenal stadium, which is very close to the new one, was built in a very densely populated London streets full of homes, you could walk through the streets, and you wouldn't be able to see the ground once until you got onto the street.
The original Crystal Palace was built in Hyde Park in London for the Great Exhibition of 1851. It was moved out to the suburb it gave its name to after the exhibition finished before burning down in 1936.
That's so cool! Thanks for sharing that info ❤️😀
Norwich colours are about mustard. Because they grow a lot of it in that area and the Colmans mustard company is based there.
I used to live at Crystal Palace and had to direct many a football fan to Selhurst Park which is about a 20-minute walk from Crystal Palace.

Old Trafford is an area of Greater Manchester where I used to live, the stadium is about two miles from the city centre of Manchester on the border of Salford, Stretford and Manchester, my first time there was in 1964, there's also a cricket stadium just down Warwick road
The things on Leicester’s pitch is lighting to help maintain the pitch (our stadiums don’t get much natural light on them particularly in the winter)
I loved this video. I've been going to watch Tottenham play for 32 years. Our love for Spurs brought me and my best friend together in secondary school and we are still best friends today.
We went to the past match at the old White Hart Lane together and the first match at the new Tottenham Hotspur stadium. She goes on her own now.
If you get a chance to go to a game, you should. It's hard to describe the feeling.
I went to the old White Hart Lane many times. always on the 'Shelf' with a few of my Spurs mates when Arsenal played to far for me to travel, Hated the fences, but the new Stadium is epic, well done. from a Gooner.
those white thingys are sun lamps and they move so the grass gets equal amount of light
@ 12:46 - These are frames that house lighting that replicates the sun to promote the growth of grass. All the pitches are grass but the variety found and planted in the UK struggles to grow in the winter which coincides with roughly a 1/3rd of the football season. Enclosed stadiums also restrict the amount of direct sunglight the pitch gets during the winter (due to the sun being lower in the sky). They are the same type of lights that "specialist" plant growers use when cultivating a certain plant indoors.
That's why they are at one end, that's where the pitch is in the shadows of the stand so don't get as much sunlight
English Premier League with no English players lmfao the English arre vanishing from football TV & Streets 2070 the white British will be the minority
The buildings your paused on when looking at St James' Park, they mostly belong to Newcastle University.
As do the buildings on the other side, they are older Georgian/ Victorian buildings that can't be touched, hence why the club can't expand on that side.
You girls should come to England and go to a game and get a sense of the atmosphere created at these grounds. It is a great day out. As a Wolves fan the Molineux does have a great match day atmosphere

Off topic - you said roundabouts scare you - take a look at the Majic Roundabout at Swindon. It absolutely scares everyone, except the locals. I encounted it by accident whilst going on holiday - I still have nigghtmares🤣

The Tottenham stadium features include an in-house bakery and the world's first microbrewery in a stadium, which can produce 1 million pints of craft beer a year and deliver up to 10,000 pints a minute.
You're not going to mention the pitch slides into the carpark unveiling an NFL pitch?

Love that you like Newcastle, please do a video, you would love a night out on the bigg market if you know you know x
The Tottenham Hotspur stadium is the only ground in the country that features a retractable pitch. The grass for soccer is on a roller system which rolls under the main stand revealing an NFL pitch and has a 10 year contract with the NFL with at least 2 games per year. The comments from the players confirm this is one of the most impressive stadiums in the world. It's also regularly used for concerts and boxing.

Hi Ladies, I just love the enthusiasm and honesty you bring to your reaction videos. Just last Sunday, I had my 1st visit to the Tottenham Hotspur stadium to watch a rugby match between The Barbarians and a New Zealand team. I was very impressed with my 1st view, and the atmosphere was very good. My favourite team, Ipswich Town, currently play in the 3rd tier (confusingly called Division One) and have played at the same Portman Road site since 1884, where in 1890, they were one of the 1st clubs to use nets within the goal frames.
Please keep up the great reviews, and look after each other.
Thank you, Nigel Baldwin

The Spurs stadium is on the same site as the previous white hart lane stadium, we aren't nomads like the Woolwich Wanderers down the road!!!
I worked for a company that had offices in St Mary’s Stadium and we were able to watch the England men’s team train before an international game.
Hey guys. I’m from Newcastle and loved seeing your reaction to my home ground! Keep up the good work 😁

Hi ladies, hope you are both well. Thanks for your appreciation of my beloved team's stadium, namely Totttenham Hotspur or more commonly known as Spurs, you asked for more clarification. I happen to be a massive Spurs fan and I have a season ticket in that beautiful bowl, worhipping every other week at the shrine of Harry Kane, Heung Min Son (Sonny to us) and the rest. Thanks for showing your appreciation for our Premier League stadiums in general, I am of an age when I remember English grounds from the mid 60's (my first game was in 66 aged 9 when I was first taken by my Dad) and they are absolutely unrecognisable now from those ancient places where we used to watch our football all those years ago. Bye for now, best of luck in the upcoming World Cup, apart from when you play my England that is!
They should have added a picture of the exterior of the stadium at night, it is amazing when it's lit up at nigh!!
This was too short to cover the really cool part of the stadium ua-cam.com/video/SsQZnyCH37M/v-deo.html
Fun fact a lot of the teams have a long history and have nicknames that reflect this .
Everton became known as The Toffees , there stadium was near to a sweet factory .
Out this in for Debbie to savour .
Yes, it's Everton Toffee.
The thing with Anfield is that there is the club shop, trophy room/museum and a restaurant in that big stand. The seats do not go that far back
Hi, The structure by The London Stadium (West Ham) is the ArcelorMittal Orbit Stratford.
It is an Observation Tower and a Slide, similar to a Helter-Skelter. It is the largest piece of public art in the Britain. It was constructed for the 2012 Olympics, the area is the Olympic Park.
The yellow lights are to allow the grass to grow quicker. They help in the upkeeping of the pitch which is a blend of real grass and fake grass
Newcastle United's ground is called St, James Park, or " The Cathedral on the Hill" and it's literally in the centre of the city, everyone always calls the team the " Toon " and the fans are known as the " Toon Army " .My eldest son made sure that all 3 of his boys where born in the RVI Hospital which is just over the road from the ground hoping that at least one of my grandsons might play in the famed number 9 shirt. As a family where all season ticket holders and loving that currently where 3rd in the Premier league. Howay the lads.

one of the most fascinating things about old Trafford is you can sail there. yes you can get a barge from the city centre (bar included)
Traditionally, as football was more of a working class sport at the time, stadia would usually be in the city/town centre or near a significant residential area so as many people as possible could attend. Over time though, as stadium infrastructure has improved, city centres have developed and clubs desire for a whole area around the stadium for shops and fan zones increased, more and more teams moved away from those city centre/residential areas to locations just outside the main town/city. As more and more teams choose to build new stadiums over redeveloping their current ones, this will become more common. That’s a reason why, as a lifelong Wolves fan, I love Molineux. It’s right in the city centre, no more than 10 minutes walk from the train station and right near loads of houses and a supermarket. There may be plans to redevelop it, but the fact the club will be staying in our home of 133 years is a point of comfort and pride for me.
men dont play under domes and the Tottenham Hotspurs ground slides out and American Football pitch raises up to play on which somehow was overlooked.
I have only ever been there twice but Molineux is my local stadium home of Wolves(Wolverhampton Wanderers) It was named after the Molineux family , Benjamin Molineux brought the land in 1744 and built Molineux house a mansion, his family lived there and sold it in the 1860s and the grounds became the first public park in Wolverhampton, later to become Molineux Stadium and the house became Molineux Hotel. The building still stands and is still known as Molineux house or hotel, is a listed building and holds the cities archives.
I'm pretty sure those things on the pitch at Leicesters stadium are basically giant hydroponic grow lights. If you notice the shadow on the pitch from the roof. it means one end of the pitch doesn't get as much sunlight as the other side, so they set up those lights to keep the colour of the grass consistent, otherwise the pitch would be half green and half yellow
I'm not a big football fan, (always support England though) but this was a good video, i loved the look of the tottenham stadium in London that looked cool, also liked the London Stadium. I also like the look of Wembley stadium which they didn't show in this but it hosts major football matches, concerts etc.
One of the things with English football grounds is, yes, they have housing estates around them. Most of the old ones are more than 100 years old and were either built on small plots of land to start with or the houses have been built close by as the cities have expanded. It’s why our stadiums often look ‘lop sided’, there’s usually not space to redevelop all of the stands
Great reaction Natasha & Debbie! It was good to see you stop at my local Stadium, St James Park, Newcastle. It's a fantastic Stadium and in the centre of Newcastle. I would love to see you do a reaction to the Newcastle area and I totally recommend this guy on youtube Gimbal Walk TV - Tour of Newcastle Quayside from Tyne Bridge to Castle, this truly shows you what a beautiful place Newcastle is. Gimbal Walk TV also video walks of other areas of the UK, this just might get you hooked!
Anfield (Liverpool F C.) Doesn't look like that anymore, they are currently building a massive new stand costing £75,000,000.
"The Unthinkable" the narrator talks about is when Leicester City won the Premier League in 2016 at odds at the beginning of the season of 5,000-1.
Debbie's comments at the start about Natasha's jacket were absolutely spot on. Star Wars or Bond Villain deffo!
My great uncle played for Aston Villa back in the 1930’s. He was a great person that got my dad into football then my dad took me to Villa Park at an early age which I still go. My Great uncle lived 30 miles away from Villa Park and he used to cycle before the game and cycle back home. Best way to keep fit!lol! His name is William “Billy” Goffin. Aston Villa is Prince Williams team also Tom Hanks and many more famous people ❤
Nice! My great uncle played for and managed Tottenham during the 60s, but my mum supports arsenal and I support Liverpool because of my dad. His name was bill nicholson
Man he had 56 years of history with them, won them 8 trophies and got them to win consecutively in 1960-61
When you mentioned living next to a stadium, we did in Stirling (Scotland), literally next to the wall of the stadium. I have always loved football and at 11 I sat on our wall (ladder useful) and had a perfect view of the match.
Aston Villas stadium (Villa Park) is going to upgraded a little in next couple of years with the capacity going up to 55k. I used to walk past the Amex (Brighton & Hove Albion)on my way to my daughters every week it’s a lovely stadium & named after the Brightons biggest employer American Express.
I live just up the road from Bramell Lane the ground of Sheffield United, from the balcony of my flat on match days i can hear the cheering and booing during the match.
I was raised a couple of miles away from Elland Road in the 70's. They had the largest floodlights in Europe back then. I remember first of all you could hear the roar when they scored a goal even that far away, and at night the whole sky was lit up by the floodlights like something from a SciFi movie.
And yes those are houses, on the other side is a hill called Beeston hill where more houses overlook the ground.
We at Preston North End have the largest floodlights now.
The "thing" next to the London Stadium (West Ham) is the Arcelor Mittal Orbit - a giant sculpture you can slide down ... yes really!
Great to see Vicarage Road, Watford there 😃 sadly not in the Premier League this season ☹️
Totenham's stadium is used for NFL games in London. If you hear about a NFL game being played in the UK these days it is usually at their ground. They have a retractble pitch at the stadium. The pitch on top moves under the single tiered stand and there is an NFL pitch underneath.
The London Stadium (home of west ham united) is inside what was the Olympic park (home of the 2012 Olympics, the strange shaped edifice on the left is the 'orbit' a viewing platform with lifts to the top and a spiral slide going down if you're feeling brave enough?
That's insane! But in a totally cool way!
It's also a great metaphor for supporting west ham united (which I do), thank you ladies for your great videos, and take care

Alot of football stadiums have houses around them because everything as to fit somewhere. The lights on the pitch are sun lamps which helps promote growth from the grass, my teams Stoke City and the stadium is called the BET 365 Staduim , because the owners of Stoke City also own the betting company BET 365 so they brought the name from the City Council as before it was known as the Britannia Staduim, our Staduim holds 28,000 fans not massive but big enough. Another's great video.
I lived right next to the Norwich City football stadium in a Victorian Terraced house. Sometimes you could not hear any noise at all if the wind was blowing away from the house but other times it can be deafening.

Hi, as a Spurs (Tottenham Hotspurs) fan I love you thing the new stadium is cool. As well as the NFL pitch it has a number of other unique features. The stands are steep and as close to the pitch to give fans the best view. It has also been designed to maximize noise in the stadium and has extensions on the roof to rebound the sound back into the stadium. It also has an enormously long bar inside the stands that serves drinks from a unique system from the bottom of the glass upwards. You should react to any of the videos showing tours of the stadium.
Harman kardon systems
That's a great idea. It is a truly amazing stadium. I've been a lot and whatever other fans say about the team, they are always wowed by the stadium and the atmosphere.
Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has an NFL pitch hidden away to the side. At the press of a button, the football (soccer?) pitch retracts and the NFL pitch takes it's place. Like something out of Thunderbirds. The pitch not currently in use stays under UV grow lamps and irrigation to keep it green while not in use.
I always enjoy your videos. My great-grandfather would have visited Molineux in its early days to watch the then mighty Wolverhampton Wanderers (aka Wolves 🐺). They used to be one of the top clubs in England. They are my team as well.
Molineux is named after a successful merchant of the city (a Benjamin Molineux) and Wolves was one of the first clubs to install floodlights back in the 1950s to host evening matches (including against big European teams). The stadium does need a bit of an upgrade now though.
I've become more interested in Wolves, watching from Australia, as my cousin's son recently made the first team.
@The Yorkshireman Reacts I guess it’s a matter of perspective when compared to some of the other Premier League stadiums. Molineux is pretty good for an English stadium in general, yes.
The Steve Bull Stand definitely. Built in 1978 and is showing it.
Tottenham's motto is audere~est~facere which translates to to dare is to do. The stadium has an NFL field under our football pitch, and it has a micro brewery and an in house bakery in inside the stadium
FYI, it was Highbury that was called the library, mainly due to the low acoustics and the stands being far from the pitch, When Arsenal moved to the Emirates, the atmosphere is far better, especially this season as we are top and the fans are in good voice)
There are 92 teams in the Football League, 20 in the Premiership, 24 teams in Championship, 24 in League 1 and 24 in League 2.
Clubs range from every county and have between 2 and up to 12 (12 being in London, which is split between 2 or more clubs in each London area, i.e North London, South London, West and East London). My Team Arsenal is North London, just off Holloway Road, and is the only Team to have an Underground station named after it. Which is about 2 min away from the stadium itself. Our rivals are Tottenham, who are about a mile away from us, and who are also rubbish and reason they have a nice stadium is because they dont need to pay for cleaning of trophies 😉
Its obviously the biggest rivalry in London and in top 2 in the country, possibly Liverpool v United only rivalling it.
But if you come to a game in England, make sure you learn of the club you are going to see and who they play. If you want atmosphere and hopefully a great game, regardless of Arsenal v Spurs (short name for Tottenham due to full name is Tottenham hotspurs), any london derby would be good, or if up north, obviously Liverpool, Manchester United/City or Newcastle games would be good.
In Midlands obviously Aston Villa, or Wolves. near the south coast Southampton or Portsmouth and even shift Wales as they have 3 teams in the English League, Cardiff, Swansea being the big 2 Welsh teams. And opposite them there is the East coast of teams like Norwich etc. So anywhere you visit will have at least 2 teams in the area.
Some teams like Woolwich Arsenal are like American franchises and had to move from Woolwich to North London to attract fans. Arsenal are also the only team to be elected into the top tier despite finishing 6th in the 2nd tier.
@@zgasnola Arsenal moved as they could not get planning permission to expand. And Norris failed attempt to merge with Fulham (he was Fulham chairman before buying Arsenal). Also it was amended to 5th in 1975 for the 1914/15 season due to miscalculations of points.
And Arsenal was voted in by other members, inc Liverpool who some say was the influential vote. It was a democratic way, if not perfect. Chelsea also got elected into the 1st division as they were relegated in 1914/15 season. Reason was because Man U and Liverpool deliberately fixed their final game so United stayed up and Chelsea go down. So they got a special vote due to this.
roofs was added to the stands because of the regular wet weather but one of the design briefs is they have to be acoustically good to give the fans a louder voice at matches and to reduce the noise coming out of the stadium hence the canopy designs now seen at most stadiums
Unknown history, a de-commissioned Sherman tank was buried under the centre spot of Preston North End' s Deepdale pitch after WWII! It's still there.
Wow!!!!
Most English stadiums host weddings. My nephew, whose wife is a big Wolverhampton (wolves) fan were married there. Photos taken on the pitch.
When i first lived in Scotland, i was right next to Aberdeen FC, you cannot take your car out on match days.
Live back in Leeds now, well in the suburbs. My 2nd cousin is married to a well known 60s Leeds player.
Not a lover of football but did go to the odd match with my Dad when i was little.
Everton's new stadium is currently being built. There are UA-cam vids almost daily documenting its progress.
Outside the Molineux Stadium is a statue of Billy Wright who was not only captain of Wolves for many years but also captained England no less than 90 times. He was the first footballer to win 100 international caps and is a club legend ❤️. Talking of legends, a lifelong Wolves fan and also Vice President of the club is a certain Mr Robert Plant 😎👍
The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (the club also goes by its nickname of SPURS) has some unique features, along with the duel pitches that change when the NFL roll into town for the International series in October every year (2 games are played there and 1 at Wembley Stadium) there are 2 other things that make it stand out.
The stadium has Europe's longest bar at 65m long with refilling pumps. And as the video pointed out the 'Cock' or Cockerel (the club mascot) is on the top of the roof, you can get up close to that if you wish as you can do the Dare Skywalk, a roof walk where at one point if you are brave enough walk on a 48m glass walkway that makes its way around the mascot.
Talking of mascots and back to NFL briefly Jacksonville Jaguars are the "home" team when they travel to play in London, The Jaguars are owned by Shad Khan who is also the owner of Fulham F.C, and their mascot Jaxson De Ville has a habit of leaping of the roof down to the pitch on a bungee before a game (like he does at US games)
I live near the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal's home ground. I preferred Arsenal's old stadium in Highbury North London before they moved 10 minutes down the road although the new one gives fans the chance to have their name put on paving stones outside the stadium like the Hollywood walk of fame. Old Trafford is the largest Premier League Stadium but Wembley Stadium is the largest Stadium as it holds 90,000, Wembley Stadium is the England Football team's home ground. That red thing next to the London Stadium (Olympic Stadium) is the ArcelorMittal Orbit (Orbit Tower) basically a sculpture but also an observation tower in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford, which wasn't unveiled until the London Olympics in 2012.
Definitely do a video on Newcastle. The stadium is our cathedral 😊ToonToon Black & White Army
Love your videos
🖤🤍🖤
The white things with the yellow under it are Lights for Growing the grass. That’s why it looks yellow underneath.
Awww 2 of my favourite you tubers! You always make me smile ..can I add Debbie has the most lovely laugh it's so endearing..❤..yes I will be boycotting the world cup and I think millions around the world will be! Great video as always ..❤
The white things are heat lamps for the grass. If you look they are placed in the shade of the stand so grass grows evenly
Newcastle greatest team and city on the world. Glad you both love the hallowed ground. If you both ever come over to the UK, you really need to visit the city.
I went to Sid James Park a couple of weeks ago to watch Sunderland U21s and it's falling to bits.
Rainy old England: Average annual rainfall in London is 24 inches compared to, say, Cincinatti which is 42.4 inches.
Just to say that I understand and completely support your stance on this World Cup. Love and support from Glasgow.
Thank you Tom
@@TheNatashaDebbieShow I don't usually comment, but for once, I totally support you, love from London (Spurs fan of course) ❤️🇮🇪🇬🇧
I lived a street away from Highfield Road when i was a kid. It wasn't too weird but every other Saturday there would be tonnes of people on the street and it was normal for people to board up windows just in case. I do miss the residential aspect of older stadiums as most newer stadiums are built out of town so you can put eateries etc in the same complex
Great video ladies! My Dad got to see a match at the TQL stadium a couple of months ago while he was in Cincinnati! A family friend is one of the coaches so he got to go for free. He also went to see them play in Washington DC on the same trip. So he now supports both Wolverhampton Wanderers and FC Cincinnati 🤣🤣
That's awesome! We would have went with him had we known!
those are heat lamps on the Leicester pitch, they dry the surface if it has been raining or if there is frost/ice overnight
