- Before Manchester United moved to Old Trafford they were known as Newton Heath LYR FC and played in two different home stadiums.
I explored Manchester and the old homes of Man United (and Newton Heath); North Road & Bank Street.

What is your favourite Manchester United memory?
Two goals in last two mins v bayern
Seeing Nemanja Vidic in person. What a player 💪
Hard to choose but I think their first FA Cup title back in the year 1909 I think where they won by 1-0 over Bristol City in the final,good friend Sam!!!:-D
watching them have a disaster of a season after signing the "GOAT" CR7 and then seeing them struggle to sign anyone this window (so far), including publicly chasing De Jong who DOESN'T WANT TO JOIN because Utd can't offer Champs league football for who knows how many seasons. Yep, this last season and this season coming should be pretty funny.
Probably Teddy Sheringham's goal to win the 1999 Champions League.
Great story, Man Utd to secure a future needs big time to rid itself of the Glazer ghouls before they bankrupt the club. On another note that I feel is only fair to mention, I do hope everyone associated with FC United of Manchester is at the beginning of a folklore success that will also make for a great story in time, what has been achieved so far by FC United is remarkable.
United’s consistency under Ferguson is incredible when you look at the league performance throughout their history. One of the greatest of all time.
one of the greatest? more like the greatest! people talk about pep barca messi era blah blah blah. ya they were amazing for 2-3 years. but fergies united beat them in the ucl semis in 08 and fergies united dominated for almost 3 decades. fact is united had the most successful period any club has ever seen and will ever see.

Ancelotti > Pep
Mourinho > Pep
Tuchel > Pep
Manchester Futsal Club sometimes play games at the National Cycling Centre on the floor that's in the middle of the track, so the game has sort of managed to live on there!
I'm a Utd fan and have been since 1963 , one of the dubious advantages of being 66 years old is that I already knew all of this .....
not a utd fan but did the tour in 97 just after the new north stand was built. even with only 1 huge side, old trafford blew me away. the walkout up the stairs to your seat beats even st james' in newcastle (which is also well worth it).
also utd's trophy room is unfathomable. best tour I've done and it's still fresh in my mind 25yrs later. top video
You missed out Maine Road, Utd had to play home games at Maine Road after the damage to OT during The Blitz.
Excellent video. Glad you mentioned you are not a Man Utd fan, but interested in Football history and old stadia. I am a Liverpool fan, and old enough (68) to have visited the old grounds now long gone. I loved old those old grounds, such as Burnden Park (Bolton) , Roker Park (Sunderland), White Hart Lane (Spurs), Goodison Park soon to be added to the list. One old ground I never liked was Wembley. One of my students lived right next to Roker Park. His Mam would get tickets for the Sunderland v Liverpool games and the family always made me welcome, proper Wearsiders. Roker Park was a grand old ground. I have always liked Sunderland. Calvin Palmer , Sunderland left back in 1972, once put me and my dog up for the night, as we were hitchhiking down from Scotland. Sadly Calvin had left Sunderland by the following season when they beat Leeds Utd in the FA Cup Final. He was a good bloke, but tended to fall out with his managers. Probably cos he was smarter than them. He died in 2014, very sad.
well said, sir. as a united supporter i hate liverpool but i respect them. i have no respect for city. im not opposed to clubs making a name of course. not going to lie a little bit of me was rooting for leicester when they made their run. i want to see clubs earn it, not just buy it. clubs like united, liverpool, arsenal, ya they spend money. but they spent over a century building their club and seeing success most of the time. clubs like city really didnt do much but were just bought by super wealthy people.
Really appreciate this video. Your enthusiasm and so much historical knowledge made this video so interesting for a Man Utd fan. Thank you
Very informative and interesting - both the footage and the info. Thanks for making this video. Good luck to your own football team too!
It is cool that you are making these videos🤩 Can you visit Fredrikstad Stadion and The Old Fredrikstad Stadion, it is an historical football club with 9 League Championships, 11 Norwegian Cups and they beat Ajax in 1960. It is two stadiums, the new and the old, the old was used from 1914 until it was demolished in 2013.
I will add the Fredrikstad Stadions to my to-do list. Thank you for watching mate!!
@@FootyAdventures Could you also do the Founders Trail tour of Rangers history including stadium and trophy room?
Stadiums and the Heritage and history that comes with them fascinate me. Thank you for this history lesson, more please!
Thanks Sean I did an arsenal style one of these about a week ago you might like. Lots more coming this season from all over the UK! 🙌🏼
What a huge work this is ! Thank you for all you did for us...
Wow!!!I thought one of my favourite respective footballing clubs ever Manchester United played at only a stadium prior to the Old Trafford Stadium but extremely so fantastic narration about their stadium and history overall,good friend Sam!!!LONG LIVE,GOOD FRIEND SAM!!!🙏
At present The Old Trafford Stadium is still incomplete & needs is an upgrade of the SBC stand & East & West quadrant to be completed first before you can sort out the roof.
This Stadium has a lot of potential & can be one of the best stadium in Europe if not the world with the original design cos it has character & authentic with the potential capacity of at least 90K, all it needs is an refurbished & some TLC.
Take Note: The Stadium Must Not Exceed the rail way track!
Man Utd 's Old Trafford 'The Super Bowl of Stadiums known as 'The Theatre of Dreams' is unique & a Colossal of a stadium.
Worth a view, please share!
I played at North road many times as a schoolboy in the 50s. There was no grass. The surface was mostly black cinders. It was next to Monsall hospital grounds ,which no longer exists which I guess is now where the business park . I havnt been back for many years.
I corrected a RUclipsr recently who put United's formation date at 1902, unaware that they'd changed their name. If the club was given a winding up order then unless the company went into liquidation, like Rangers did, and the saviours stepped in at the last minute to save the club then it's the same club. It upsets a lot of Rangers fans when I tell them that the new Rangers is a phoenix club and doesn't actually have any legal ties to the old one. So, in all honesty, the trophies that it claims to have won were won by the old club, which is now defunct. Anyway, my one and only trip to Old Trafford was in 1978 when they were celebrating their Centenary. It was a friendly against Real Madrid. I bought a United centenary scarf. Had it for years but don't know what happened to it since. That was until earlier this year when I took my granddaughter to watch the women's game against Everton. She likes to think of herself as a female Ronaldo.
I grew up in Clayton and during the mid 90s to early 2000s me, my brother and our mates would walk to the velodrome (cycling centre) to play football during the summer holidays. Every year they'd have a football camp and all the local kids would go and play right next to to the spot where United's ground used to be. The football would either be set up in the car park, inside the velodrome or in Phillips park. Amazing memories, I hope that summer footie camp is still going strong 👍🏻
My love since 2008! Newton Heath Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway Football Club♥
Ashton United and Curzon Ashton, please.
Loving your content. Keep up the good work! 👍
Brilliant video Sam, You should 100% do the tour some day it’s brilliant even for the neutrals
Wait til the end of the video and my tour appears as an end screen. Agreed even as a rival fan it’s a decent tour. Thanks for watching!!
@@FootyAdventuresi didn't know man United played at 2 different grounds before old Trafford
Man Utd's Old Trafford stadium that a bit of TLC won't cure.
All it needs is the Upgrade of the Sir Bobby Charlton's Stand with a 2nd tier to complete the original design & the removal of the 3rd tier of the Sir Alex Ferguson's Stand & replaced by TV Screens for all 4 corners.
We also want a levelled retractable new Roof + modern refurbishment of the rest of the stadium to warrant a 90K capacity in comfort.
SBCS 25K +
SAFS 25K +
SES 20K +
ES 20K = 90K.
Take Note: The expansion should not exceed the rail track.
Old Trafford known as 'The Theatre of Dreams' unique in style is the Super Bowl of stadiums & is potentially The best Stadium in the country, possibly the world.
Please Share!
Fantastic mate!
Loads of stuff I certainly didn’t know, really good one Sam, cheers.
Wow first match for the second stadium was against Burnley *insert mark goldbridge clip here*
Really enjoyed that, Sam. It's a nice change from videos looking solely at the club's modern era. I know you're based in Scotland but Arsenal's history and development would make for an interesting video. When I first started to become interested in football Manchester United were in decline and were actually relegated to the old second division, but they bounced straight back and eventually regained their mojo.
I drive down Northampton Road quite often and I never realised it was the old North Road, I thought it was about a mile away. Again similar with Bank St, i thought it was situated a littlr further down the road. The cycling centre located there now is the National cycle centre built for the Manchester Commonwealth games and where Chris Hoy etc all won their Gold Medals when it held the cycling events during the 2012 Olympics. Great video, really enjoyed it.
United's old ground was the car park for that. I think it's been built on now.
Old Trafford really needs modernisation.The main stand has always been the problem because of the railway line next to it .Being a United fan I love ❤️ the place 🔴⚪️⚫️
Be careful what you wish for, a new ground to replace and improve the capacity would be best part of a billion add that to what the glazers have shackled us with, most of our stadium is less than 35 year old, probably the oldest section is k stand which was built in 72 , a lot clubs ran their stadium in to the ground, I remember speaking to a Bolton fan in the late 80s and said the ground needs new stands, he said they need to get it right on the green stuff before they invest in new concrete and plastic seats , that's the advice we need to be following at the moment
I'm a manchester united fan since I was 4 and I love your videos and it's very good
Wow I have lot of information about Man United history from this video, thanks for upload!
Regards from Indonesia :)
Manchester Central were a separate team. Their story is short but interesting. At one point they had a higher attendance than United and City and played at a stadium in Bel Vue. A much smaller version of Central still exists today. Check their history out as it could be a great video to make one day.
Top video Sam. Thank you for showing us all these places we might not all get to 🤝
There used to be a school on Northampton Rd, with a proper circular plaque on it. I don't know if the plaque was re-sited when the school was knocked down as part of the land clearance work to build the shiny offices there now. I live about 3 miles away from there. Northampton Rd is not far from FC United's new ground, Broadhurst Park, which incorporates a storey of large railway sleepers as a nod to the roots of Manchester football.
Family are all from around Clayton and my dad actually grew up on Bank Street. Needless to say, the area's changed beyond all recognition.
Great video mate. I grew up just off Bank Street 🤓
Newton Heath were never photographed in a yellow and green halved kit and there is no evidence to suggest one ever existed. The suggestion of a green and gold halved shirt was a marketing ploy by Umbro in 1994
Thank you! I really learnt a lot from this video! Appreciate it!!
green and gold until were sold!
Great vid Sam!
Interesting story regarding the first period of success. United signed 4 top players from City after the Blues landed in trouble for illegal payments to the players.
@michael corrigan, and those 4 players enabled them to win their first trophy.
@@Sergio-ig1xd True. City were bent even back then... don't blame me, you started it...
@@tohellorbarbados7119 True, for illegal payments to players but your lot quickly caught on to being bent and you've been doing it ever since. Have a nice Sunday pal.
Brilliant video, great to see where our old grounds are. In terms of when our foundation was, the club celebrated the centenary in 2002, so they consider the formation to be when they became Manchester United in 1902
@Matt Johnson, they also celebrated it in 1978.
@@Sergio-ig1xd True, I attended the Centenary match against Real Madrid at Old Trafford that year. Jimmy Greenhoff played a blinder and we won 4-1 as I recall.
@@tohellorbarbados7119 I wouldn't know about that pal. I only know that it was celebrated in '78 as a mate's little brother was a ball boy at the swamp at that time.
It wasn't the centenary it's was just 100 years of the name change, just like it was the ground centenary in 2010, most of the English Clubs have had name change or dropped a part of the name like Southampton st marys, it would only be a new club with a new formation year ,if the team went out of business completely and Start up again or if 2 teams amalgamated like Inverness Carley thistle, some would question is Glasgow rangers the same team after going into administration and dropping down the divisions but they still have the same badge ground and 1872 formation and honours record
You should do a flog on Manchester Central FC Sam ....... interesting history
Oh wow
We want an Expansion to approx 90K capacity, Modern refurbishment & a Levelled Retractable New Roof!
There's an completed stadium design on WHF!🔰@UtdWesleyy with a comment stating: So apparently we are looking at an expansion of Old Trafford. It’s been talked about for years but put off because of the complications around the south section of the stadium but if we do manage to do it…🔴 2 Tier SBC Capacity: 88,000+
We're sure that can be achieved with minimal fuss by observation cos its already laid out going by our walk around the stadium experience.
Take Note: The Stadium Must Not Exceed the rail way track!
Worth a view, please share!
Great video Sam, time for a video at Anfield again. Explain the Kopp and its history.
Qpr have had 13 permanent home stadiums. Think most in english football. That would be some video
Nice One Sam... really appreciate it.
I love these vids ( exploring old stadiums)
I am a Spurs fans, but I like this video
There was a school built at North rd that had a plaque on it. That was demolished for the current building
Newton heath🥵🥵🥵🔰🔰🔰🔰
Im from barnsley in Yorkshire and now live in fleetwood in lancashire
Gutted you couldn't make the Cork City V Galway United yesterday. Top of the table clash in the 1st Division. 6,500 sellout and pyro everywhere. Hopefully you can visit Turner's Cross when we pick up the title.
GLORY GLORY MANUNITED
Fantastic video, cheers!
FC UNITED should be included
When are you gonna do a video on The World Famous City Ground? I reckon first day of the new Premier League season, first time in 23 years we been there. You’ll love it! 🌳🔴⚪️
Manchester City’s first stadium was only just over a mile from Bank Street on Hyde Road aswell, quite strange how it’s worked out
I never knew that there had two home I am going to Manchester in September so I am definitely going to be meet the place of where the old stadiums was
The plaque is/was on the wall of the left hand Fujitsu building closest to the car park entrance. I work in the middle of the 3 Fujitsu buildings & it was there when I last looked!
Ahhhh no way, I missed it!! Thanks for letting me know. I’ll have to check it out next time I’m in Manchester!
Thanks mate, I'll be round with a ladder tonight...
The prat picked the land to build the current old Trafford too close to the bloody railway track lol 😆
Both the clubs were really close back in the day. Two clubs from industrial areas.
The training ground was on the field behind Himley road on Clayton vale
Knew all the history, but not the location of the old grounds, great Video 🔴⚪️⚫️
The oldest part of the old Trafford stadium, is the old tunnel on the half way line, which as far as I am aware part of the original Archibald Leitch design, to walk down that tunnels where Meredith, the babes and law and best walked down sends a shiver down my spine even now
Grimsby Town history!!! please
Liverpool were the 1st team to win at Old Trafford
@7:22 Recycling, the posibilities are endless.
Man U played their first ever game as Man U at The Northome, home of Gainsborough Trinity.
I was hoping you’d have done Norwich City & the history of their stadiums
Love the vids my friend
Time for new history and do what Tottenham have done build a new and bigger stadium and build the new one where theirs space so the new ground wraps around the stretfordlane stand then move out for a season to possibly the mileneum stadium which holds the same capacity as Old Trafford for 2 seasons and it should match wembleys capacity the new ground or even bigger as rival premier league clubs have now caught up with revenues as a result. man united will always be the biggest club and should be in Europe as well.
The first Stadium on North /Northampton Road was the site of The Original Red plaque it was on the side of the Former
Moston Brook High School ,It was stolen during the Summer school holidays in 1982 , It had been moved from being 20 feet off the Ground to nearly 50/60 feet, To unsuccessfully stop people stealing it . This plaque was a big metallic plaque. Not a cheap Plastic one How do I know this ? I was a pupil there from 1981 to 1985 !! There was a Sister of the Former Man utd player Remi Moses at the school when it changed from a All boys to a mixed school, I remember she was a City fan .
If you would have walked up the street where you asked the guy on bank street you would have come to North road and the plaque is still there. You were right that they started in Newton heath but North road is closer to bank street.
You can see the emptyhad from the area where the first ground was you can see it it this video
I can’t believe you didn’t mention that Archibald Leitch designed Old Trafford, under the Stretford End there’s information about the stadium
this guy is so underrated
Thinking of football in the late 19th century fills me with a nostalgia for a time I never experienced, could you imagine standing on the terraces trying to explain non binary and gender fluidity
Yes. Could you understand them explaining 24 different engineering screw threads?
This lads worth a million all day long for salt and vinegar replacement… ❤️
That's such an odd video. I went to Moston Brook High School for about a year in the late 80s and that was on Northampton Road. I remember PE teachers going bananas telling us that we were so lucky to be doing PE lessons on Uniteds old pitch! Not sure how true that is but they used to belt on about it at the school all the time (the school tie was the same as the official United tie...red with a white diagonal stripe bordered with black.)
Seeing the video is really mad as not only is there no sign of Newton Heaths old ground but every bit of what was there in the 80s has gone as well!
Thank you
I didnt knew about bank street ground as a utd fan
Very enjoyable content
You should promote Icehockey EIHL ichockey is underrated.
I Live very close to where Newton Heath played, im not a Utd fan though
The first ground north road didn’t have changing rooms. They had a ten minute walk from a pub on Oldham road. You’re right though it was just sludge and they then moved. Bank street, I think the week before they left the main stand roof blew down. Also you mention Manchester central, they actually became a club based at belle vue. Was made up if ex city and united. They ended as united and city blocked their application to the league. A great way to see how clubs grew is to look at the local fa cup. Newton Heath ended up becoming the stronger club through winning it. Pretty much the same with a lot of clubs. You can find the results and Newton Heath weren’t the only team in Newton Heath. The other Newton Heath were based on ten acres where fc united nearly moved to. Fun fact with the eithad, United we’re felt out but no serious talks about taking it on. It was built for the common wealth games but Manchester had a failed Olympic bid for the 2000 games that Sydney won. Had Manchester won they would have built the Olympic stadium where the Trafford centre now is. I can’t see city ever braving to move that side of town, they have no support there at all. So had Manchester won the Olympic bid things would probably be very different for city. The velodrome built on the bank street site was for the Olympic bid.
The stand blew down the week after they left Bank St. Regarding the other Newton Heath team, United's keeper when they won Division 2 in 1935-36, John Hall, was my uncle. He had played for Newton Heath Loco before he was signed by United, playing for the Central League side then the first team. He was transferred to Spurs for 1936-37 for a world record fee. I have his United and Spurs contracts. By 1945-46 he was at Stalybridge Celtic, and still the most expensive goalkeeper in world football. I live next door to where he used to live in Failsworth. However, it's not the sort of house that a top footballer would live in these days.
Not a Man Utd fan either but really interesting vid
Messi? Haha. Great video
My sister in law lives on bank Street and I've never noticed the plaque 🙈
You forgot the club house was on Piccadilly in early days Opp train station
Do Liverpool have a original ground? Not 100% sure but Liverpool were called Liverpool Ramblers and moved into Everton's old ground (Anfield). Did the original team have a ground before that? It's probably flat's lol
Man, I have to admit... you completely fucked up Wikipedia. Yes I can search and read theese things on the internet, but why would I do that when my favorite youtuber tells me everything and also show me the places. What a great job u are doing.
well never forrget our roots.
Thanks for another great video Sam but go Man. City lol
Velodrome from the Commonwealth Games held in Manchester, as is the Etihad stadium.
in 1902 £2000 was about £270K today
Hello are you from Scotland?
😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳How
whats crazy is how big man united are. real madrid is probably the only club bigger. people care more about man uniteds ground a century ago than they do man city current grounds. man city is as their best in their history. united is at their worst. theres still a massive difference between the two clubs.
That photo is manchester united 1909 fa cup winners
Actually, 4 stadiums if you count Maine Road during the war.
Ironic how the plaque got nicked and there’s a massive police station right i front
Kind of stuffs one in the face of City fans when they claim that United aren't in Manchester. They started out under the United name not far from where City are now.
