- We go through every English ceremonial county and choose our favourite stadium in each. The video includes 4 different sports, so there's something for everyone. Thanks for watching!

Ah yes, the internationally renowned stadium, “this field”
Fun fact about St George's Park. Due to being on the Isle Of Wight, it's the only English stadium to be in a different time zone - when you visit the IOW you need to set your watch back 40 years
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Knowing the difference between historical, ceremonial and legislative English counties, and getting it correct, is probably the greatest achievement of any Australian in history!
I don't know man, Wi Fi is pretty useful.
Obvious one to do next is Scotland but thats even more of a county/shire mess
I guess Australians just follow in their english masters.
@@otters61 Yes it is!
@@otters61 From Wikipedia...
"Kingston upon Hull, usually abbreviated to Hull, is a port city and unitary authority in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England."
So yes, it appears that you are wrong.
Glad to see "this field" on the list. A very underrated stadium.
Manchester United actually used Home Park as their 'home' ground once. It happened in the 1970s after crowd trouble during a European fixture. As a punishment UEFA ordered United to play their next home tie not less than 250 miles from Old Trafford, and Plymouth's ground was the only stadium in England with a reasonable capacity that met that criterion.
old school football facts are totally my thing. this fine fact has gone in the book. top man Rich.
I throughly enjoy your subtle sense of humor
I am a stadium enthusiast as well and enjoy all your videos. 👍😎
Cheers!
@@TheWideWorldofStadiums John Harrison is from Wakefield, West Riding of Yorkshire. He didn't quite invent time, but he is one of the most important cabinet makers in History! We are also famous for steam trains, and the most famous Literary family in the world (The Brontës)!
I appreciate how you chose a selection of football, rugby and cricket grounds.
And oddly enough, I have been to a very large number of the ones chosen covering all four sports!
Berwick Rangers aren't the only English club playing in Scotland; Tweedmouth Rangers were formed in 2010 and in 2016 they joined the East of Scotland Football League. They're currently in First Division Conference A, which puts them in the 7th tier of Scottish football, two divisions below their near-neighbours Berwick Rangers. They play at a very lovely little ground that adjoins the eastern boundary of Shielfield Park.
Berwick is in Scotland isn’t it?
@@gothestags09 Berwick has changed hands between England and Scotland 14 times over the years....but it's currently in England (for now)!
@@gothestags09 I'm from berwick, we are in England, 2 miles south of the Scottish border, but yes over the years England and Scotland have fought over Berwick-upon-tweed
Gretna used to play in the Northern Premier League & the last Scottish club (I think) to play in the FA Cup.
Thoroughly enjoyable and informative video. Also kudos on pronouncing all the county names correctly, very hard for a non native to do.
Cheers!
Fun Fact : New Meadow Is An UEFA Cat 4 Stadium
What does that mean
@@Quintendejong123 It could technically host a Europa League final. Obviously it never would. But it has all the facilities required.
And used to be called gay meadow
HOW?!?!
@@kevglass4924 That was the previous stadium in the town centre. New Meadow is called new because it is.
Definitely a guilty pleasure watching your videos but love the chilled music and commentary, keep it up mate👍🏼 mrs literally asleep, lying on my as I’m watching!
Video idea Best Stadium in each German County
Germany has like 2000 of those lmao, do states instead
@@ramtailthebattlertr2066 Bro i am not no english teacher ahahahah I actually meant the 18 Bundesländer.
yes that would be really nice. As there are only 18 states he could also do his Top 2 or 3 in every one. We certainly have enough cool stadiums in Germany
I probably will make that video eventually.
I love your videos. I use them to fall asleep. Thanks!
Excellent work and research fella. Getting double hammered at Tottenham was an amusing anecdote. Blackpool s ground from years ago with its wooden open air Gene Kelly stand would have made a nice feature. All the away fans were plonked in there and they were more than often heard singing in the rain.
Your videos are a breath of fresh air.🌹
Enjoyed that, thanks.
Thanks for watching!
Love your videos and love your jokes too!
Cheers!
Love the Karl Pilkington shout out!
Love when Berwick gets a mention
Love your delivery style pal
You crease me up🤣
Thanks for the shout out to the Spitfire Ground, St. Lawrence in Canterbury. Just to clarify about the Lime Tree's demise, it fell during a storm in 2005.
this channel is amazing
Love this. You do make me laugh lol
Really Great Video
Cheers!
Another banger of a video
Thanks for watching!
brilliant mate keep it up
Will do. Cheers!
Thanks for another great video, next video could be best stadium in ever Australian State and Territory.
I probably would have done that. But the recent Big Bash video pretty much covered all of them except for maybe Suncorp Stadium. Thanks for watching!
@@TheWideWorldofStadiums Fair enough, ever though about doing Serie B Stadiums of Italy?
i love the jokes for the county introductions
Fior future reference, if you are going by ceremonial country boundaries, then the Stadium of light in Sunderland is in County Durham and St James Park in Newcastle is in Northumberland.
Loved the tongue in cheek narrative, apart from the rather naughty and sarcastic, slipped in at he end comment about my beloved Tottenham, but ignoring that, thank you for stating the inevitable with regards to our fabulous stadium. I type this on the evening of 30/04/22 and tomorrow I shall be sat high in those very stands behind one goal, cheeering my boys hopefully towards a win against Leicester City. Great work bud, cheers.
Thanks for watching!
Go spurs
@@effkay3691 Is it true that the Spurs statium has a micro brewery? 🤣
@@etiennedevignolles7538 I hope so because it’s of no use as a football stadium
@@effkay3691 🤣🤣
Cracking video from a cracking bloke
I love how every stadium is different in every region! 😎
Not a rugby boy by any means, but I live a couple of miles away from Kingsholm and on big nights you can hear the fans crystal clear. Great atmosphere.
I’m happy that u included the Isle of Wight in your video it’s just a shame that Newport’s ground is no longer used for football and is just left abandoned at the moment. As u mentioned the island I will let u off choosing the Etihad over Old Trafford 😂
Very good video 👏👍
Cheers!
do best stadiums in each Ozzy city! as an english specimen I'd love to see all the huge cricket and Ozzie rules grounds.
and as a Luton town fan it was nice to see Kenny road!
Brisbane - Suncorp Stadium
Sydney - Stadium Australia
Melbourne - MCG
Adelaide - Adelaide Oval
Perth - Optus Stadium
@@michaelthornhill9073 Sydney SCG surely?
Nice vid but i'm not having that Scarborough thing as being better than the Riverside at Middlesbrough, which is in the county of North Yorkshire.
Middlesbrough being in NY itself is a devisive topic round here plus North Marine Cricket ground is a great day out
YORKSHIRE IS THE COUNTY
The distance between the Etihad and Old Trafford is increasing every week 😂
Old Trafford is about on par with “This Field” these days
Both on and off the field! 😁
Thoroughly enjoyed that! For Gloucestershire I would have gone with Forest Green Rovers' eco-ground in Nailsworth, or the Boys College in Cheltenham (used by Gloucestershire cricket club for a series of matches each year), but Kingsholm is a fine choice.
At least at Kingsholm the ball doesn't vanish into the distance if kicked too high...
Kingsholm looked amazing at the 2015 Rugby World Cup under a orange/purple sunset.
Great videos. Love the stadiums and the wit. I also really like the background music in this. What is it?
Cheers! Without checking, it's probably New Moon - Bad Snacks or Game Plan - Bad Snacks.
@@TheWideWorldofStadiums Thanks so much. Again, love the videos. Keep up the great work.
Nice to see the Country Ground included. Definitely the best stadium in the county.
How about the HAC for the City of London? Cricket is played there, and Saracens usually used to play a pre-season fixture there.
Don't think HAC is in City of London. Pretty sure the border is just north of Barbican so HAC would miss out by a block or two
@@dead1zed886 Spot on, my bad, sorry - though HAC is a lovely ground.
This field is amazing!
I have been to most of the stadiums on this list, the only time I went to the John Smith Stadium was to get my vaccine though, so there wasn't much time to enjoy the ambiance.
Being called the Best Stadium in Hertfordshire is such an accolade 😁
Nice to see Ashton Gate, Bristol on the list. I'm only a few miles away but used to work within earshot of the roaring football fans each week
Yo mate, can you do a video about every german countys best stadium?
(I'd like to coorperate with speaking parts, pronounciation helf or seaching work.)
I'm the announcer of a german 5th division club and I think my voice mighy be good enough for a part.
Although my club Burton Albion was mentioned for Staffordshire i think you will find that Stoke City have the best ground in the county followed by Port Vale.
Even England's smallest county (where I'm from) Rutland made the video
Bristol has been a county in its own right since 1373 (apart from when it was part of Avon in the 1970's/80's), and the City of London is a ceremonial county. Both are much smaller than Rutland!
@@sydnorth5868 someone call the police, that was the most correct but passive aggressive reply I've ever witnessed😂
haha i know you weren't being rude, i just love how written words can look a certain way haha. it was the exclamation mark at the end what made me spit my tea out! haha top stuff everyone.
As a Leicestershirian I respect Rutland but want it to die non the less, stupid county. :)
Me too. Pity he mixed up the Oakham cricket club and the schools cricket ground
Fratton Park not mentioned...now there's a surprise:)!
County Cricket Ground in Somerset has been the setting for a few Chris Gayle T20 smash 6’ers!… bit like Oracle Park in San Francisco .. people in boats were ready and waiting in the River Tone to collect the ball
Are you going to do the big south stadiums
Very good video. It had a high joke count. Bath's Rugby ground should have got the Somerset pick. Not sure about this 'riding of Yorkshire' stuff, last time i heard that was in that awful Abbey show.
You should do best high school Football stadiums in each state
Can you make a video on the best rugby (league or union) stadium in every country
Can you please make a video about all of the rugby league championship stadiums ( the league below the super league) please
Could you make the same video but with France's 18 regions?
The fact you listed the Darlington arena over the Riverside cricket ground for Durham is almost unforgivable...... Especially when you say you are a sucker for a picturesque cricket ground ;)
I was looking for this comment! The Riverside is a cracking ground
I agree...The DA is one of the most soul-less place I've ever stepped into...
Durham Riverside is the better Stadium in Co. Durham
Personally for Hampshire I would have picked fratton park due to the old style and the fact it almost sells out most matchdays
To be honest only gave you a like because my sister's ex was a Southampton fan he was a total knob Lol
Cmon. st Mary's all day
@@tarirai I sat some exams inside St Marys!
JSS Huddersfield has a very unique design & was the first purpose built all seater modern stadium built from scratch after the Taylor report. The people that designed it went on to build the new Wembley stadium.
Fun fact: Bristol is both a county and city.
Gotta love how a video can also divide Manchester like the iconic derby.
Do the best stadium in every country and make it a series
There's a half sized football pitch at the city of London school on White Lion Hill across the Thames from the Tate Modern. Other than there there really isnt much in the way of sporting grounds in the actual City area.. with HAC being just outside. Finsbury Circus gardens might make for a neat little cricket ground if you took the park away.
If I liked popcorn, I would get it ready. My favorite host on RUclips.
Cheers!
You should do a video for the best stadium in every Canadian province
Can you do Canada next?
The best stadium in North Yorkshire is in Middlesbrough, Riverside Stadium.
That was a good mix of Football, Cricket and Rugby stadiums, rather than it all being football. I like how in Hull's stadium, the seats are Black, white and AMBER (DON'T GET TRIGGERED). It's home to Hull City football club that play in (Not gold, not Orange) Amber and Black but also Hull FC rugby league team that play in Black and White, so it incorporates both teams colours, while having the majority of seats black, the colour they share. Surprised that the Bet365 wasn't the one for Staffordshire but I guess being in Stoke-on-Trent holds it back and I'm glad you showed Headingley for West Yorkshire but respect you didn't choose it.
Been lucky enough to visit 5 of the stadiums myself.
No they don't. Hull City play in black and amber. Not gold, not orange, amber.
@@stepheng8779 there you go buddy, I've changed it, just for you.
I would love a version for germany but because there are just 16 states you could do a top 3 stadiums per state to make it more interesting :)
It's either Germany or Canada next. I've started on both of them. I think sixteen states is more than enough. We have just 6 in Australia.
@@TheWideWorldofStadiums maybe you could do one for australia?
Hey just to let you know regarding Cornwall. We are attempting to build a stadium for Cornwall. You should look it up.
Boston United's new Jakemans stadium, although smaller is a much better stadium than Lincoln city's Sincil bank stadium. In my opinion. (Lincolnshire) Thanks for a great video 👍🏻
Got a video idea - Premier league club's old stadiums and what they are now - Man city; Maine Road Everton; Anfield Brighton; Withdean Arsenal; Highbury
Couldve mentioned about Meadow Lane that is on the opposite side of the Trent
Imagine a premier league game at this field it would be great
I follow English football, cricket and rugby so I get most of the inside jokes even though I'm not from England
Could you also do this for Germany?
I probably will eventually.
Fun fact the pasty it has recently been discovered it actually originated in Devon
nice video thank you, but country Durham should be Chester-le-Street cricket ground.
edit: you are wrong about Flock of Seagulls being the most famous band from Liverpool, quite clearly it is Echo and the Bunnymen. I think historically Liverpool was considered Lancashire while the other side of the Mersey was Cheshire. My Gran who is now deceased would insist she was from Cheshire if anybody suggested she was Scouse or from Liverpool.
Can you do A Sun conference American football stadiums please
make a video about uefa conference league stadium please!
Is....is that a Karl Pilkington reference for greater Manchester?
Cheers!
ESSEX: strictly speaking under historic (de facto) boundaries, the Olympic Stadium is just within the boundaries of Essex
i liked the less obvious karl pilkington reference haha. would you rather sit in a bad stand and look at a good stand or vice versa lool.
9:16 it’s Karl pilko what a bloke
Head like an orange
biased because I'm a cricket fan, but I think London should have gone to Lords, it's got old new, character, history etc. Although Tottenhams stadium is spectacular tbf.
Am pleased you chose The ageas Bowl for Hampshire though, I'm a Hampshire fan, so it's great.
Actually, with the Kent Spitfire ground, hitting the tree was a 4 I'm pretty certain.
North Marine road is a beautiful place to watch cricket.
Do like your choice for South Yorkshire, even though I'm not a supporter myself
One of the only ones that can have no argument is West Midlands, Villa Park reigns supreme with no competition
UTV
Please do women's football stadiums. UEFA Women's Champions League and FA WSL stadiums would be great.
No Ewood Park for Lancashire?
Lots of tough choices there. But you have forgotten one key factor with west Yorkshire. Namely that the atmosphere at the John smiths is terrible. The lowered corners mean that fans struggle to create that noise that places like Elland road and headingley strive with. As a huddersfield I'd have to go for headingley even with the shocking away end
If you find the county name “Cumbria” funny, bear in mind cumbria has a town named Cockermouth. Cumbria gets its name from “cymry”, a celtic word which also serves as the root of the word “Cymru” in welsh. Cumbria is a celtic region that used to speak Cumbric, but many aspects to its slang, place names and local culture are still celtic. Love Brunton Park. Come on Carlisle
Wasn’t your fault, but in Bedford we disown Luton (so thanks for showing our beautiful river). Our rugby ground is erm, quaint.
could you do the same for germany, there only 16 "Bundesländer"
What about grounds in the republic of Ireland?
Surprised you didn't mention Riverside Cricket Ground (Durham)Riverside (North Yorkshire) and the Ricoh Arena (Warwickshire)
Sorry to be pedantic but hitting the tree was 5 at St Lawrence Ground, because the tree was obstructing the playing field technically.
There's no need to apologise for pedantry in an internet full of misinformation!
I am a Woking fan, thanks for featuring us
Surprised you went for Pirelli ahead of Britannia
That must have hurt the SCFC supporters. But having once been at the Britannia on a freezing cold, wet Tuesday evening I can't argue!
Yeah, that was a mistake. I must have just overlooked Stoke-on-Trent.
@@TheWideWorldofStadiums oh right lol. I think you've been watching too much Van Donge and De Roo
