First up was Aberdeen Football Club. In my eyes, the third biggest club in Scotland. Their classic old stadium, Pittodrie is in need of some TLC. Instead of repair their current ground, it's more cost effective for Aberdeen FC to move to a new stadium outside of town. The next Arsenal?
After Aberdeen I headed off to Banks O' Dee F.C and Cove Rangers FC. Two great clubs unknown to most outside of Aberdeen.

It’s Aberdeen granite from the old Rubislaw quarry (closed in 1971) - the largest man made hole in Europe. Aberdeen granite was considered the best in the world and transported all over the world. Lots of buildings in London have some. The balustrades on Waterloo Bridge for example, are all Aberdeen granite @Footy Adventures
love the work you and a good few other English people give to our league here in Scotland, it is very much appreciated and respected :)
Cheers Jack I absolutely love it. Scotland is one of the most underrated football systems in the world. Often because it's compared to the glitz and glam of the Prem south of the border. About to upload another groundhopping video. Hope you enjoy that too when it's out. Thanks for watching!!
I'm English and love Scottish football lol
Hopefully at the new ground Aberdeen can get into the europa league
@James CLARKE The quality isn't the best but Scottish football still has it's heart.
Nice name 👍
Will be sad when we leave Pittodrie! So many amazing memories! But I think we need better facilities all round! Great video! Hope you're enjoying your time in my home town! Stand Free!!!
Ground was purchased by Banks o Dee in 1965 from Aberdeen engineering firm J M Henderson. They did a deal with Henderson's Managing Director to buy the land. The managing director was Richard (Dick) Spain and the ground is named after him.
Aberdeen knocked us out of the UEFA Cup when we were the champions of it, in the first round in 1981, when Fergie was manager and Gordon Strachan was playing 💙🏴⚪
Peter Weir was the winger that turned Mick Mills inside out after that game.
Aberdeen fan here. We’re now potentially building the new stadium just down the road at the beachfront
A proper Scottish football club with a fantastic History,
Love seeing this. Former season ticket holder and actually had my 21st birthday party in one of the RDS function suites. COYR
As a Celtic fan Ive always had great respect for Aberdeen FC and their history, most of my mates are Dons fans (glory hunters from back in the day btw :) ). We need a strong Aberdeen for Scottish football. I hope they move to a stadium in the city centre, the proposal beside the beach...I think the stadium in Kingsford would be a bad move, soulless stadium in the middle of nowhere.
New discussions about building stadium at the beach as part of a leisure complex. At the end of the beach boulevard - don’t fancy the traffic jams though🤔
@@raymondmassie4898 The bid by the UK and Ireland for World Cup 2030 could be a game changer though…. 48 team tournament … new stadiums in Dundee and Aberdeen maybe?
@@mrmervinjminky1536, I think the hooligan element at Wembley recently may have dealt a terminal blow to any hopes of that. If think any suitable ground in Aberdeen would only be 5th choice behind the Old Firm, Hampden & Murryfield.
I’ve played at banks of Dee they let a lot of local teams play here and they are open to the community it’s a great wee stadium
Love your enthusiasm for and knowledge of all the clubs you visit no matter how big or small. You understand the reason we support them and never have anything negative to say which is refreshing. Keep it up because I love watching
I appreciate that George! Thanks for watching mate!!! More coming soon. Off to Stenhousemuir v Partick today so that'll be up tomorrow :D
No matter what team you support forty adventures content is always amazing and interesting
Thanks Ewan! More videos from a range of clubs coming soon 🎬🔜
Mate you're so positive and enthusiastic, it's contagious!
Thanks Sam another great video really enjoy the multi visit stadium videos, you must be clocking up the miles on your car!
Another great video You deserve a medal for your support of grass roots football in Scotland.
Great stuff mate .just bought my season ticket .can’t wait get back in next month COYR
Im on holiday in Scotland and I've been to Hearts so far hoping to go to hibs and Aberdeens grounds in the coming days
Go to ibrox
@@deanbrown6728 can't as I'm not going to Glasgow
You could go to croy hill, ands a nice walk up the hill, and if you take the correct route then you’ll see the big Roman head.
I would agree Aberdeen are the 3rd biggest club in 🏴 followed by the 2 Edinburgh clubs then Dundee Utd in 6th
That's how I have always looked at it aswell.
I would say hearts are bigger than Aberdeen
@@christopherd597 yeh u could argue hearts are bigger but if u look at Aberdeen's history especially in the 80's under Sir Alex, that European cup and being the only club in the city they've got more fans and with the new stadium coming up I'd put Aberdeen slightly above Hearts.
I mean u could argue - are Hearts bigger than Hibs? Iam a united fan but u could even argue are we bigger than Dundee?
@@christopherd597 Based on achievements Aberdeen has had bigger success past and present , no comparison . Hearts have been relegated twice in the past decade and only promoted again last season.
@@Kyu1985 Dundee United definitely a bigger club than Dundee👍
I am watching back to back of your videos I let them build up so I get lots of content to watch in one go thank you
I am a as St Albans city fan, love going to Clarence park week in and week out
Film & image is quality feel like I'm actually there...Allways had a soft spot for Aberdeen thanks to the likes of Strachan ,Miller, McGee, Black & Rougvie during the Ferguson day's in the 80's & I'm English...Your passion for the game comes across loud & clear...keep on knocking out your quality vlog's & giving us an insight to Scottish football...👏👏👏
Thanks so much Martin, really glad to hear the positive feedback. New videos coming each week :)
Soul Spirit Tradition - what Alfredo di Stefano said of Aberdeen when they beat his Real Madrid in the 1983 Cup Winner's Cup Final
Also, I agree, the match day experience at 'smaller' clubs is often far better - really welcoming and a good day out
Pittodrie was the first stadium in Europe to have dugouts (fairly sure on that fact) and also first stadium in Scotland to decide a match by penalty shootouts (against Hibs, think they lost!!)
Would love to see you go to fort Williams ground.
Even if you don’t. Love the videos and the content.
Thanks for so much Sam. Been waiting for this for a long time.
Was just looking for anything about clubs around the Aberdeen area in particular any along the Dee my family's from Bremar so if If a club from there that would be cool 😎☺️
Great video, bro. I love seeing all the stadiums and learning all about the history of the different clubs. Celtic fan here but Aberdeen are a great club, very interesting 👍
Glad you enjoyed! I've got a new Celtic video coming out over the next few days :D
Brilliant video mate 👍🏼
Will be a sad day when we leave Pittodrie, hopefully they build the new one further along the beach and not out at Kingsford.
Interesting fact about Pittodrie, it was the first fully seated stadium in the UK and the worlds first football stadium to have a dugout, historic stadium indeed.
Could you visit Largs thistle stadium and also I am so glad about what you have done to Scottish football stadiums on RUclips because it has almost become non existent on RUclips when the old firm are not a part of it so keep up the good work
Alan Shields
Hamilton
South Lanarkshire
Scotland.
I remember a few seasons ago
Ayr United play Banks O'Dee at
Spain Park in the early rounds of
The Scottish Cup on B.B.C Scotland.
Your right about Aberdeen being
The Granite City.
I had a look at Fanbase yesterday afternoon but there is not to many clubs in The West of Scotland useing it I wish Pollok would use it as it would make things much easier for me to get to some of our games at this time.
I am desperate to get to some games not just that I want to travel & get to some games further from home it's so frustrating 🙄🙄🙄🙄.
I am sorry for you on a personal level
That England could not win
The Euro's I did not watch
The game myself became of
The Main stream Media I could not stand to listen to there absolut rubbish personally.
Unlike the mainstream media
You always give a balanced view.
Hopefully you can actually get
to a Premier Sports Cup ( League Cup ) game some time soon.
I am looking forward to
The first Ayrshire derby of the season at Rugby Park personally
It will be good to have Ayrshire derby's in the League & also
have The Dundee derby back League wise the more League derbys we can have in Scotland the better for Scottish football we dont get enough League derbys in Scottish football football.
Keep Safe.
Keep going mate💪🏻. Best football content on RUclips 🔥
Thank you 🙌
Very bad idea to move the stadium out of the city! Great Videos mate keep up the good work!
Great video @Footy Adventures. I agree it will be really sad when Aberdeen leave Pittodrie for their new stadium. Pittodrie has a lot of character and history. The granite facade and wall is something else and really unique. It should be kept and utilised in some way if and when Aberdeen move stadiums. I have the same feelings about Aberdeen leaving Pittodrie as I do about Everton leaving Goodison Park and think it's a shame that both clubs cannot redevelop/expand their current stadiums.
I've seen the trophy room. Both European trophy and Sheild are worth seeing, as well as the silver replica Gothemburg stadium. Granite maybe grey but on the rare occasion its sunny it glistens. I was lead to believe new stadium was staying in town.
Might be getting built at end of beach boulevard
Buzzing this is out! I grew up next to the merkland end! Should try get a ticket for cove v Falkirk at cove on the 31st
'Todders' has been a great home for the Dons over the years. So many great memories. It's the ground where the 'Dugout' was invented, the first all seated, all covered stadium. We've seen titles won on home soil and clinched the European Super Cup at home.
Time has come though to move on. The initial design of the proposed new stadium, for me was underwhelming. With the potential of a new site, i hope they redesign. I'd like to see them consider underground parking for example. I'd like to see the frontage look more traditional, incorporate granite or a granite look to the main stand, even if the rest of the stadium is to look modern. I think trying to maintain a certain look of tradition could be a winning idea. We could end up with a bang up to date stadium which preserves the past.
Excellent video thank you 😊
Martin Buchan played for Banks O' Dee before he Joined Aberdeen. He went on to be the youngest ever team captain to lift the Scottish Cup and of course, he went on to Captain Scotland and Manchester United (his brother George played for Aberdeen and Manchester United too).
Also captained Man Utd in the first FA cup with 2 Scottish captains. Willie Young, who was a team mate of young Martin at Aberdeen, captained Arsenal.
He was actually Martin Jnr as his father was also Martin (Marty). A stalwart of the Caledonian Golf Club next to Pittodrie
You need to do a vid about the new season and Aberdeen, we are buzzin about the new team, manager etc. I think it’s going to be very interesting! Aye, we do need a new stadium though
The new home kit looks pretty slick
Agreed, it’s growing on me. What do you think of your new kit honestly? The yellow is horrible
@@doricdave7192 I don't mind the gold crest but really wish the sponsor was more subtle. For the 140 years kit we had Tennents in really small writing just underneath the crest. Wish there was a way they could do something similar for this one. Or at least sell a sponsorless version for the fans.
Aberdeen the last club to beat the mighty Real Madrid in a European final..
STAND FREE 👊👊
Great video M8
I am from Aberdeen and am a former season ticket holder at Pittodrie (have moved to Dundee and will hopefully be working again soon though unfortunately probably at weekends so won't see much of my home town team live. Have been past Banks O'Dee's ground many times having lived locally to it in the past. Never been in though. Neither have I been to Cove's new ground although seen them at their old ground, Allan Park, including a famous 3-1 friendly win at home to Rangers (yes the proper Rangers who had Chris Woods in goal that day, again the same Chris Woods who had been England's no.1).
Sam, have you been to Morayshire yet? I was staying in a lovely wee place called Burghead recently and they've gote their own wee club and ground. Forres is a ten minute drive away, so that's Forres Mechanics, and I saw a few other small stadiums in the area.
You could probably do a good scenic video for those places. Especially Burghead. Get yourself to the beaches there.
Hi Jonathan, thanks for watching! Yeah I love the highlands so much and visited the Can Cans in this video... ruclips.net/video/D_APzzCqJck/видео.html
An unreal wee stadium and one of my faves I've ever visited!!! Thanks again!
Am in forres at the moment visiting my Grandma and Grandad and Mosset Park is amense can't wait to go watch the Can Cans play for the first time in 20 months.
@@robbiemitchell5190 nice enjoy! A lovely part of the world 🙌
Footy Adventures Cheers👍
What's can cans
my dad played for Banks o Dee in the Scottish Junior Cup Final at Hampden in 1957....they won 1 - 0......
Please come to Kidderminster Harris vs man u for Pre - seasons on the 6 of August kick off at 7:45 pm
The beach end boys are in town oh those days
going back to my first Aberdeen game in over a year on thursday and its a European game im buzzing
Wow enjoy!! Should be epic. I hope you get a result! Thanks for watching!
#notificationsquad, hope you’re enjoying my city pal, my brother played for Banks o Dee but he’s with East End now
Oh cool! Say hello to him for me. Was he a part of the back2back2back2back title winners?
It's my city you're just a guest
The council are in talks with Aberdeen FC about building the new stadium just over the other side of the Broadhill at the beach as part of the beach rejuvenation plan. Hopefully this will happen and we won't have to move too far from home. The only problem being, we'll be even closer to the North Sea. 😂
In the 80s Aberdeen we’re just having good season after good season thanks to Sir Alex Ferguson then He attracted interest from Manchester United he turned the club to battlers like winning the title and even winning two European cups which was in 1999 and 2008 and two fifa cups which was Intercontinental Club Cup 1999 and FIFA Club World Cup 2008
Get yourself down to the Berwickshire region of Scottish Borders to visit Duns that play at New Hawthorn Park. Part of Border Amateur League now I believe. I live here and support Aberdeen. Duns played Aberdeen in a Scottish Cup tie in mid 1950's which does make me laugh having lived in area for 29 years yet supported The Dons three decades now.
Another video from the main man
8:29 i played on that pitch before lol
Banks O'Dee now have a chance to be promoted to the Highland League as now the North Juniors the remaining East Juniors Club and North Caledonian League are now in the pyramid system so if any clubs who win the league at the end of the season are up to standards they could face the bottom Highland League Club in the playoffs
based on attendances, aberdeen fans left pittodrie a long time ago
I loved the stadiums. What a class the Spain Park is. But why the Dons wants to leave Pittodrie is strange. Better to upgrade that epic stadium I belive.
There's subsidence on a lot of the ground due to it being near the sea, it would cost so much to refurbish, in 2010 someone at the club told me 50 mil per stand for a refurb when we can build a brand new stadium for 50 mil. 2 sites is kingsford where our training facilities are or half a mile away where transition extreme sports is currently, not sure on how long we have to wait to find out
Financially not viable and would be very restrictive to nearby housing, golf course etc.
I’ve always wanted to get to Pittodrie, it’s quite a trek from Hampshire though
I grew up in Portsmouth but my granny lived in the Granite City. School holidays were mainly spent there and over the years I managed to get to three Dons games.
If you go to the nearest field and look at the sheep that is what Pittodrie looks like.
Great video again 🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜
8:20 start of Banks O' Dee FC 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
East Kilbride FC and Ayr United would you go too
Great video yet again! Who is Aberdeens derby?
On derby day they used to play Dundee Utd.
Hopefully with Cove Rangers in a few years
I'm a Celtic man but best of luck to Aberdeen when their new ground opens, but what about Peterhead FC Aberdeenshire
fun fact , pittodrie was the first all seater stadium in europe
Was also the first with under soil heating I believe
As a gers fans I’ll miss pittodrie is a good ground and far better than the soulless new place their liking at
I'm always against Clubs leaving their Historic Homes, which, are filled with History, built with character and moving to a Grey, Lego Bricked Ikea Bowl.
Couldn't agree more. Why not just work on the stadium you have?
@@Pauliewalnuts_822 Sadly. It's cheaper to go for the flatpack model which is built in 3 months using the metal version of dry wall, tin and plastic with some concrete blocks for the foundations and 9 million gallons of paint.
To be fair pittodrie is a shithole
Agreed am glad Raith re did Starks Park it's our spiritual home.
Most if not all the Granite was sourced local & I mean local, a big hole (now full of water) a few miles west of the city centre. Known as Rubislaw Quarry en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubislaw_quarry. Pretty much all of Aberdeen is build with this stuff.
Also like to point out. That you have Sunnybank's Heathryfold Park in the north of the city. Stonehaven's Glenury, 15 miles south of the city. A few others dotted about, nothing to rave about, but they have their perks.
That's groundspotting, not groundhopping.
Love Aberdeen
Cool video
Thanks fraser!!
I am Aberdeen FC fan but I like grass roots football clubs
I never realised Banks O Dee were an actual club. I thought they were just a sports centre with pitch.
My team!! ✌️🏴
Aberdeen have been talking about it for years but never made any moves It’s been a while since Aberdeen where Scotlands third club
Could you do a video on the history of Hull city
Nope feck off why ? Hull city who are you only famous for sonny Aluku and Allan McGregor, and that swanky town called beverly
Peterhead was promoted from the Highland League before Cove.
Hi Charly, thanks so much for watching. Peterhead were elected into the league through the old bidding system, but Cove are the first and only ones so far to have deservedly been promoted through actual football results. Cheers!
fanbase beast
Let's go
If Aberdeen are building a new stadium, they should have a stadium bigger than 20,000, a new stadium similar to Derby County, Middlesbrough, MK Dons, Leicester City, Southampton
What team play at the stadium with the big hedge
That’s Brechin City. Now relegated from the Scottish Football League. In the lowland league now I think.
@@Rathardican Brechin are now in the Highland League. Glebe Park is a great ground to visit.
Cove are not the only club to be promoted to the spfl. Edinburgh City were promoted the season before Cove.
Correct and Kelty just recently. Cove are the only ones to come from the Highland League however. I love that new teams are rising up! Thanks for watching mate!!
I got a bit of a shock when watching your video and my granite House popped up
Haha nice should've stuck the kettle on!
Definitely need to leave Pittodrie. Midden of a place. They're in talks with the council about the new stadium posibally staying down the beach, just across from the old ballroom next to where the skatepark is.
There’s nae room there min.
I honestly think Aberdeen are in the top 4 of the biggest clubs in Scotland along with Glasgow City (mainly because of those 14 consecutive league titles).
I don't think its easy to rank the biggest out of the top 4.
Trying to figure out the biggest between rangers and celtic is a nightmare.
And trying to figure out the biggest between Aberdeen and Glasgow City is a nightmare.
Both is a question of European Football vs Domestic.
@@GCAbleism158
Rangers , Celtic
Aberdeen , Hearts , Hibernian then
Dundee United is how I would rank the biggest clubs in Scotland.
I would 100% say that Aberdeen is the 3rd biggest club in Scotland it's not even a close contest.
After Dundee United you are then looking at Dundee then the likes of Saint Mirren & Motherwell .
The first criteria I would look at is
Domestic fanbase not International fanbase then success in terms of trophys and where ubs have finished in the League in modern times.
@@alanfox691 whether Aberdeen fans are unionists or are for Scottish independence,which clubs in Scotland are unionist and which support Scottish independence.
St Cuthbert Wanderers (Kirkcudbright)
Aberdeen have been talking about a new stadium for close to 20 years. The financial fallout from the pandemic should make it at least another 10.
The fact that Pittodrie is of an age means it will soon not meeeu presumo que você pode conseguir comida vegetariana para cãest UEFA stadium requirements for European tournaments so they decided to make the move to the edge of the City
If I remember correctly, Aberdeen was the first all seater stadium in the UK. Bank's O'Dee is a new ground or you and I'd never seen inside it before either. Bank's look like they will be in the Highland League in 2 to 3 season now that the Highland League has been opened up to the pyramid
It was the first stadium which was both all seated and all covered.
(Clydebank's old ground at Kilbowie was the UK's first all seated stadium)
Third biggest club mate . No way . Hibs and hearts are much bigger. Just look at hampden attendances and Aberdeen is a one team city. Like your videos though 👍🏻
Please come back to Inverness for a match
At least The I.C.T fans make some noise unlike The Ross County fans
Went to The Highland derby back in 2016 the only time Ross County fans sang was when they got the equalizer that day but The I.C.T fans got behind the the team for the entire game.
turn the old stadium into a museum some amount of history for scotlands 3rd biggest team
Mostly likely be sold to
a Supermarket chain or Housing developer in all likelihood.
To turn it in to a Museum you would need to get rid of all the cobwebs of
The Trophy's first lol.
I’m sure it’s already been promised to Stewart Milne
Club are normally quite good about letting people in for a tour..... next time contact them in advance.
Hey mate, I've emailed about 10 times since the pandemic started at various times so thought I'd just turn up and chance my arm this time. Every time they've said no sadly. Hopefully soon I'll be able to! Fingers crossed!
Are you still in aberdeen mate I’m one of the lads in aberdeen who runs the charity matches in aberdeen with all the former professional players and am actually off today would be free to show you around and talk about local clubs

I went here in 2021
Aberdeen have played in Europe every year since 2013. Pittodrie has hosted many European clubs since 2013 and meets the relevant standards or they would not be allowed to play the ties there.
They have failed to qualify for Europe every year? Playing qualifying games and actually playing in Europe are 2 different things
One Top firm Aberdeen in 80’s
Bradford ointment put them in their place bigtime, well behind ICF & CCS in Scotland.
Aberdeen, the only club in Europe to have a 100% win rate against Real Madrid
What a record!
I’m a Hibs fan and I consider Aberdeen to be the 3rd biggest club
Depends on how you define big. In terms of fans turning up to games over the last decade or so they've averaged less than both edinburgh clubs.

@@npike12 Ha! You’re correct about the recent attendance, I’ve been there as an away fan and the atmosphere was a bit deflated
