    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!

      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 !!!

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

    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.

    @ 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.

    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.

    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.

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.

    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

    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°.

    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)

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.

    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.
