Great Video! I can't say I had heard of the club before this video! Nice job!

I spent a lot of time in here in my teens getting copper wire lmao.

Loved the old girl but we needed to move. Sir John had a vision for the club and knew we had to modernise, and while the Madejski isn't exactly loved in wider football circles it was the only viable site for the club. But Elm Park holds fond memories for me on the South Bank (which you refer to as the Tilehurst Terrace). Thanks for the video 😊

They were basically no more than a village team financed by mr doc martens- max Griggs. When he pulled out the inevitable demise happened.

Due to sharing the ground with the cricket club, we had to rearrange our home games at the start and end of the season.

A good video ruined by elevator music. Not needed, real life does not require backing music, and it masks your narative.

I fell through the the roof

Love this channel the history of foot all is intertwined with social history after ww2 it's class to see none are forgotten

I like this channel! The stuff you cover is interesting and often unusual. Just subscribed and very pleased to hear that you are a bluenose, like me👍🏼 Thanks for what you are doing and please keep doing it.

I like your vlogs about Historical league clubs, it doesn't matter to me what age the are, I find them interesting, this is Choppy in Whitehaven, Cumbria, England

Crewe not very often you hear of them. I don’t think they ever had won a league only some smaller cups, but they once had a manager that coached the team for many many years

A LOndoner visiting my grandparents in Chester as a kid I wne there on my own, walking about two miles. Fighting relegation I had never witnessed atmosphere like it and became a fan. Best game I watched was when we beat Port Vale in the Debenhams Cup Final. Current ground is sadly no comparison, though a giant stand behind the goal could transfrom it...Duke Of Westminster please consider. The Westminster Stand.

I was a regular at Blundell Park in the early '70s when Lawrie Mcmenemy was manager before he went on to manage Southampton. We used to go in the old Barret Stand which was an old wooden structure (always thought it to be a fire hazard)). Couple of memories.....of a glorious winter's day in February 1972 walked to the ground along the sea front.....come five to three the sea mist rolled over the main stand....several attempts to get the game vs Exeter City going but eventually had to be abandoned. We left the ground and walked 50 yards inland...still a glorious winter' afternoon.... The final game of that season in May 1972 was the replayed match vs Exeter City which Grimsby Town won 3-0 and Grimsby took the 4th Division title in front of over 22,000 fans. We were in the Pontoon stand that night.

Very nice video! Thank you! BTW- R.Oviedo is in the playoff final!!

❤❤

My adopted dad always took me to these games. It was the best atmosphere ever. Even the darlington under 5s spray lads football team had a go.

You know my clubs record home crowd ,involved wolves in 60s when there was 41,000 at Bloomfield road ,we used to have a fairly big kop then we're north stand is now ,what brought up our decent capacity utmp .

Nice presentation mate .

Good fans and very good away following for size of club ,I remember early 90 s they came over to blackpool fc ,Tuesday night match it's not super long way ,but in my experience bringing between 1,600 to 1,800 midweek night match is quality .

Do you think Germany is cooked at the Euros?

I watched Bristol city win the cup v st mirron

I love the old black and white photos you found on this classic ground. I know it is still full of character and that Grimsby Town has a loyal fan base. Definitely one to visit on the groundhopping map!

My father is a huge Juve fan.⚪️⚫️ I personally always loved the stadium 🏔🏟and I didn't like how they transformed it into a small compact square shaped stadium. ⬛⚽️😐🤌

❤❤

Donny had some great players that have played at Belle Vue. Peter Doherty and the great Alick Jeffries to name a few.

Great work about a stadium which is not so known but at least hosted premier league football

Anderlecht de 76 à 78 était très fort. Supérieur au Bayern et à Liverpool. J'ai vu aussi le vrai Chelsea, celui de 1971 : remarquable équipe.

Thanks for this video - I also spent several afternoons at the Dell in the 1950s. have been a Saints supporter ever since. For what it's worth (not much) I also successfully completed my driving test outside the Dell in 1958!.

Still got my seat from the last match 🥰 love the dell

Great work once again . I am sure you are sick of hearing it -- but the grounds were better years ago .And affordable .

Another Great Video dude!

Was always a big away day back in the day Blackpool isn't the same in 2024

Spent many a happy Saturday afternoon in the mid-late 'sixties standing on the duckboards running down the open side of the ground. Once a Cobbler always a Cobbler.

It looks very strange with stands on three sides and they will play in the championship next season

I loved that place

Interesting video It almost like Leicester won the league got the same feeling Talking of surprises, I suggest you make a video of Halmstad BK wham they won the championship in Sweden in 1976, just survived by very small margins the year before. This event also started a revolution in Swedish football by using coaches from UK en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halmstads_BK

Good video, really enjoyed it. Some of them also had their careers disrupted by the World Wars so could have scored more.

I've really enjoyed the vid...! Before watching I was gambling to myself how many players I'd know... in the end... only knew J. Aldridge... I've recognized more grounds than players... BTW- there a big chance that Real Oviedo and Sporting meet in the playoff for Spanish First Division...!!! We'll see this Sunday...

Can’t believe they replaced the old show ground with that B&Q tin shed piece of shit

🎉🎉🎉

West Auckland had an exciting young team in the 2023-24 Northern League. I watched them a few times. Crazy to think they won this international trophy twice and now play in the 9th tier.

All's well the ends well . Well for now anyway. The blame for all off this? One man. Kenwright. As for the premier league yeah one word for them pathetic.
