As a 43 year old fan who watched my first game in 1986 I find this kind of summary amusing. It's something the big clubs are obsessive about (Man United, Liverpool etc) but has never been something on mine and I assume any other Watford fans radar. In reality, we have been punching well above our weight for many years, the fact we have spent 6 of the last 7 years in the top flight is a success in itself. Just look at the big clubs: Sheffield Wednesday etc who have been scraping around in league 1 for years. We have had many successes over the years, promotions as runners up and through the play offs, an FA Cup Final appearance in 2018,.along with some great victories in the league against the top sides. As fans we take huge pride in those successes and there are many teams who would love to be in our position. COYH.
You weren’t disrespectful to us at all! As a Watford fan, we might not have won a major trophy, but it’s the “DEENEY” moments that yellows value and although we get a bad rep from the media, we really are an inclusive club, always first in representing LGBT community AND black players throughout our history
I’m not sure if anyones mentioned it. In the season 82-83 Watford actually beat Liverpool the newly crowned champions 2-1 on the final day of the season to finish 2nd.
As a fan of Sparta Prague, I heard about Sparta's matches with Watford in the third round of the UEFA Cup in 1983. At that time, Elton John was the owner of Watford. Sparta won 2-3 at Vicarage Road and still Elton John behaved like an absolute gentleman. The players who played for Sparta at that time still remember him coming to the booth, shaking everyone's hand and giving them his record. Watford then lost 4:0 in Prague. But each of the players remembers how gentlemanly Elton behaved even in a situation where his team lost.
St Johnstone almost went out of business in 1986 and are only three years younger than Watford. It took us until 2014 to lift our first major trophy then seven years further on we won our second and third in the same season. Keep pushing at that glass ceiling brothers.
Thank you brother for the nice remarks hopefully we will win a major trophy soon but the pozzo's sack to many managers not good for us I love scotland from an Englishman
Top marks to the folks at Watford for being so accomodating at short notice ! Nice to hear, I had a similar experience at Fulham a few years ago when they were in the Premier League, just keep smiling and asking the question ....
As someone who started following Watford in 1968 with my dad in those days the ambition was just to stay in the football league rather than winning anything! Under Graham Taylor Watford massively overachieved and since then fans have had (pretty unrealistic) expectations of winning things! The club now is a long way from what it was in every way, full of journeyman foreign players and a board who couldn’t run a bath.
No need to worry about looking disrespectful etc, mate! We know you mean well in all of your videos! It's really interesting that we are the oldest club without a major honour, but we are proud of our club. I don't suspect I'll ever see Watford win a major honour in my lifetime, but you just never know.
Yes we won the fourth division title 77-78 thank you, my first game 2/1/ 1960 so you could say I am a supporter and proud and now my son is a supporter it’s in the blood 🩸
Hi, I'm a Watford fan. The club gets a lot of criticism (sometimes justified) from the media regarding their record of firing head coaches. This video is an example of the good side of the club that rarely gets mentioned, going out of their way to show you around the stadium which most clubs would decline. They do great work in the community. If you liked the artwork check out Murwalls that have done other football art around the country.
Doesn't seem to have much going for it as a club. Even the club badge is weird, looks like a moose, which don't even exist in the UK. Yes it's supposed to be a deer, but it looks like a flipping moose! Just use a picture of a deer stag ffs!
@@mk1aquatic739 our badge was design by a Canadian who didn't know what a Hert was so he just did a moose instead, wierd I know but we just find it funny now
Depends on how you define a major trophy. I'm a Palace fan, and as mentioned before, we won the ZDS Cup in 1991, but is it a major trophy? I'd say no, so we're in the same boat as Watford; a couple of lower-league titles, a couple of FA Cup final defeats but that's it.
@@robcmore2004 we have been a small club punching above our weight but for 40 years now aside from 2 seasons we have been in top 2 divisions. Its seeped into consciousness of that we are a top 30 club.
I remember the fa cup final wi Everton and one thing that sticks in my memory is after they lost on the tv they were sayin hard luck Watford and showing there run to the final there best bit and the song they played to it just to piss the Watford fans more was I guess that’s why they call it the blues by Elton John I will never forget that ..Nice one Sam 🙂🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪✌️🔰🔰

@@FootyAdventures brilliant will look out for it tonight! Yes definitely since the new ownership last year they have really invested in the stadium brining it into the 21st century and really celebrating our history than was ever done before on and in the stadium but away keep up the brilliant work man 🙌🏻
You could have walked through their training ground. It’s got a public footpath right through it. Plus it’s next to arsenals - surely the closest training grounds to each other. Must be a video in that!

Another stat: Sheffield United are the biggest club in England to have never even been in an FA Cup or League Cup final since the war. Watford reached a FA cup final in 85. Been in 5 play-off finals though but lost them all, think we've the worse play-off record in England.
Hows it going Sam. Been watching you for a while and saw your vlogs you posted during the summer on the League of Ireland and Sligo Rovers. You didnt get to a Rovers game during your time and I am wondering if you have any interest in coming to our first home game next season vs Shamrock Rovers? It would be on the 18th of February. Always a good atmosphere vs shams. Hopefully you see this, and keep up the good work. Road to 150k❤
Have Watford sacked their manager. Watford and Udinese have that friendship the Watford fans are use to and are use to sacking the manager.

Just got to point out that Watford, like many clubs, was formed by the amalgamation of two or more local football clubs. Most clubs call this their date of formation and so did Watford originally and I have Watford programmes from the 1950’s and 1960’s that show their formation as 1898 and 1891 but fairly recently they have decided to claim the date of the earliest club in the amalgamation as their formation. If every football league team used the same criteria then they would all have come into existence decades before they truly had.
So, is it Covid or is it Sam being #bigtime that means he now gets an impromptu tour of Watford when he used to not get in Scottish Non League Grounds? 😁Very well deserved buddy
Bristol City have won the Welsh Cup, which is technically a major trophy, but in real terms they've won almost nothing at all. A Second Division title over a century ago. First Division runners up and FA Cup finalists almost as long ago.
It all depends on how you define 'big team.' Do you mean they have a larger squad of players than other teams? Do you mean that their owners have more financial muscle than others? Or do you mean that their ground capacity is bigger than any other club to never win anything? Crystal Palace have a bigger stadium capacity and have never won a major trophy.
Definitely not the oldest not to win a major trophy. My club, Fulham, is the oldest club in London and have never won a major trophy (unless you include the Championship). There are certainly others around the country. Not sure Watford or Fulham would be seen as really big clubs though.
Watford: the biggest English team never to have won a major trophy? Apologies due to Fulham, Crystal Palace, Brighton? 🤔 Anyway, Watford aren't even the biggest team in Hertfordshire. Everyone knows that's St Albans City!🤣🤣🤣
How do you define biggest without a major trophy 🤷♂️Watford being in the top 2 divisions is hugely punching given our historical performance pre Elton and Taylor and obviously the town is small, and an over spill of London so difficult to build a fan base when so many people support London clubs etc.
Hiya Sam, Newcastle haven't won a domestic trophy since 1955 (F.A Cup) that's a pretty long time, saying that the Championship is a difficult league to get out of, the hardest in the world, I don't know how the Watford fans can applaud Graham Taylor, Turnip Head was awful for England, played 37 won 17 drew 13 lost 7, and one of them defeat's to USA, I seem to remember, when you come back up North would you please do Workington Reds? their a ex league club Workington were Expelled in 1977 when Wimbledon came in, this is Choppy in Whitehaven, Cumbria, England
The number of people that don’t understand the construct of the English language. Let me help, they are the biggest club with out a trophy, that’s not to suggest they are a big club in the traditional sense.
What about the biggest English team that has NEVER won ANY trophy, ie not a Zenith cup, or Division champions, or even an FA Vase? I don't know the answer, but I'd love to know it. It was a question in an impossible pub quiz I went to a while ago and I can't actually remember the answer. I've been trying to recall it. (ACTUALLY, I remember the answer now, it was Rochdale, but in the next week's pub quiz someone pointed out that Rochdale won the Lancashire Cup, which was an actual trophy. So there must be still a team out there. I think there are NONE in the top four divisions)
Video wasn't at all disrespectful. Supporting Watford isn't about vying for the trophies (Though not saying we shouldn't therefore keep trying to get one. Eventually!) but the game to game moments, community and friends formed from it. Sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe shit. Been a Season Ticket holder when Gianlucca Vialla was in charge (Didn't go well that Season) and although it's a funny stat that can be rightfully levelled at us, misses the point about supporting us as well.
Watford were a 4th division team when I was a kid . Not until the early 1908s did they have any success. Not a big club. Just a club punching above their weight like Brighton and Bournemouth.
Hello, we hope you're well. To what extent are we "punching above our weight"? Watford have only spent 2 out of the last 50 years BELOW the Championship. So we're in a familiar place at the moment. Please explain your point because we've been a bigger club than Brighton & Bournemouth over the last 50 years (which is sort of where people judge how big any club is). Nobody talks about the 1960s or before that - no disrespect.
@@freddieb5946 Smaller than Rotherham? Only Kenilworth Road is statistically smallest something that will change when they move to Power Court finally the shackles will be off after over half a century of being held back by a tiny dreadful stadium

A tour of Watford is hardly big-time which is why he can get in there but may struggle to enter a Scottish Non League Grounds.
There were two third divisions they were in the third division south which is why they are all southern based teams.

Early 1908s are you okay?
Maybe im retarded but i feel like EFL Championship/1&2 feels like proper football. The stupid money is ruining the PL for me
Wow! Who did watfud beat in the Herts county cup? Ashwell maybe? Or was it a big club like Bushey!!!!
Bushey Rangers ! 🎉come on you Blues!
Fulham is the biggest without a trophy in my eyes. But clubs like Fulham, Crystal Palace and Watford are all not big clubs let’s be honest
Palace are bigger than Fulham
It’s Watford, of course they haven’t won any trophies..... 🎩🎩🧡🧡
Definitely arent a big club
No one said that
Winning a major trophy does not necessarily make you a big club Clapham Rovers for instance
Bristol City much bigger
That's funny. Bristol City are massive. In parts of Bristol 🤣
Id say the biggest team to ever win a major trophy will be Tottenham. They have never won a trophy.
Luton fans laughing at this title
Then remember that they are the smallest club in the championship 😂
@@freddieb5946 Smaller than Rotherham? Only Kenilworth Road is statistically smallest something that will change when they move to Power Court finally the shackles will be off after over half a century of being held back by a tiny dreadful stadium
@@freddieb5946 but still have a better history than most of the league, including Watford.

Since WWII different winners of FL Div 1 then PL from 1992/3 are 18, FA Cup 28, League Cup 24 as all dominated by MU MC Liverpool Arsenal Spurs and Chelsea and many buy their trophies by splashing billions on players.
When will Chelsea Spurs Arsenal and Man U next win one of these trophies? Squeezed out by others splashing more cash than them.
FL / PL winners since WWII playing in 3rd or 4th since winning include include Wolves, Blackburn, Portsmouth, Derby, Villa, Leeds, Ipswich, Burnley, Forest and Man City.
If the fixation is on why Watford have not won a major trophy there are others.
Did you go to my team QPR
The Ayr United of England 🤣
Tottenham iam a joke to you
