The maximum attendance is 3300 but currently it's 2000 by 😂 Fire Brigade as we don't yet have crash carriers in covered terrace Which we don't need to until we get into National South
I've actually been there on a trip to London a couple of years back. Saw 5 games while I was there and the visit to the War Memorial Ground was genuinely the best experience of the trip. Love non-league football!
Not been to Carshaltons ground for about 15 years. Looked good. Currently on 556 grounds but then I’m way older than you Smiv Great video as ever, need another northern trip to get Charlie in the vlog
Cowdenbeath are nicknamed the Blue Brazil, apparently after some nice moves, one fan said it was like watching a Blue Brazil. Maybe this happened at Carshalton? 😄 1’m at 163 grounds, mostly in Scotland
Only done 13 grounds 🥲 from being a Kidderminster Harriers fan as well as always working weekends it’s hard to find the time and availability to ground hop more often and further away! I did recently go to the Aviva Stadium in Dublin for the FAI Final though, was away there for a few nights and luckily I found out it was on. Absolutely class!
My dad lives on the Kent coast now and isn't in the best of health (parkinsons is a bastard) but growing up, the number of Saturdays we spent at the War Memorial was always a treat. Great memories of me and my old man that we sadly just can't do anymore Remember an FA Cup game against Sittingbourne where the Brickies manager was copping stick off the home fans and through a pound coin to one of them saying "here's a quid back for having to watch this s**te"😂
Can you do on the road to waldstone in the FA Cup vs Wycombe at 11:30. Also as it’s the FA Cup round 2, waldstone hasn’t got to the 2nd round in 40 years as well. There burger van in the ground or around the ground are really good I heard.
Love it smiv ❤❤ youve gotta get up to york though, high flyers in the league and bonus if you take the other half the Christmas market is in full swing 😊
Really would love to see you come to the west country Exeter City Plymouth Bristol City & Rovers Truro City Get down here and have a Pasty at the football! ❤️
11:12 Lincoln city this weekend Look at general sale tickets for Southampton v Brentford January 4th in premier League! Kingstonian are home November 30th this month in Raynes park vale so a chance you could win a raffle. 0:09 37 Grounds i been to with majority being non League. (including Brentford’s previous and new stadium) 7/92 (premier League and football League stadiums) Brentford (griffin park and Brentford community stadium) QPR Charlton Afc Wimbledon Millwall Cpfc Liverpool Hopefully at least this season i am able to buy premier League tickets general sale with Southampton fc!
Be a good idea to go to fc clacton mate. Not the greatest club, but they’ve been around for years. They are currently having a dispute with the council and could lose their right to play at the ground at the end of the season. be a good video if u ask me. Keep up the great content smiv
Since the UK has SO MANY LEVELS on their soccer pyramid, this American has a question. Are the players at this level considered professional? I assume they are getting paid, but is it enough to make a living, or do many of them work regular jobs in addition to playing? We have some semi-pro sports here in the states (where the players typically hold down other jobs), but nothing in our minor league systems is nearly as high profile or popular as soccer (football) in the UK, where seemingly every little town has a team, a fanbase, a stadium and a loyal following. Semi pro teams here typically play in high school gyms or on high school fields.
They’ve got regular jobs at this level. Our minor league setup in the US is an absolute mess because there’s no prospect for upward mobility for the club, so they have to take on owners willing to lose money which unfortunately means that there are people without the actual means to sustain a club … buying clubs and then having them fold within a decade
“on the road yep back again” 6 words that make my day a little better
The maximum attendance is 3300 but currently it's 2000 by 😂 Fire Brigade as we don't yet have crash carriers in covered terrace Which we don't need to until we get into National South
This is probably the most random football club. But I love everything about it. Keep up the good work.
Was a regular there in the 90s when I lived down the road in Sutton. The jumpy guy against all the decisions has been going to most games for 30 years
I've actually been there on a trip to London a couple of years back. Saw 5 games while I was there and the visit to the War Memorial Ground was genuinely the best experience of the trip. Love non-league football!
That was my comment OMG!! 9:34- 9:45
Love the stats mate🤙🏾
Fantastic win for the Robins, absolutely on fire at home right now! Sort the away form out and we could be looking at a playoff push 👀
Youre like the Anti Ellis with that win record 😭😭
Not been to Carshaltons ground for about 15 years. Looked good. Currently on 556 grounds but then I’m way older than you Smiv
Great video as ever, need another northern trip to get Charlie in the vlog
Think we need a smiv and padded seat collab
Seeing more wins than losses, Smiv is the anti-Away days haha
7:30 Sounds like a pack of seagulls.
loved the chants from the fans
Carshalton pizza always hit the spot. Good to see you in my local area
Reached Stadiums No. 56 & 57 this past weekend (Doncaster Rovers and Everton) - my goal is 70 by the end of the season ✌️
Cowdenbeath are nicknamed the Blue Brazil, apparently after some nice moves, one fan said it was like watching a Blue Brazil. Maybe this happened at Carshalton? 😄 1’m at 163 grounds, mostly in Scotland
Good little story, one day I'll get to Scotland!
Thanks uncle smiv for heads up about it being cold at the football.. appreciate it!!
Any time!
3:53 Not No. 4's finest moments. Being knocked to the floor to get up and then get drilled in the family jewels
Nice to see south London in the last 2 vids, both great grounds to go to. 128 grounds for me.
One of my favourite “retro” grounds
1:21 "On the back road!..yep, again!"
