American Couple Reacts: ENGLAND | The Best Stadium in EVERY English County! FIRST TIME REACTION!

[@TheNatashaDebbieShow]

Last year we looked at some of the Premier League's stadiums and we LOVED them! They are quite different from our American stadiums! This time we are going to look at the BEST stadiums of all sports, be it Rugby, Football or Cricket, in EVERY English County! We really enjoyed seeing a glimpse of all of these and getting a feel for each stadium. Let us know if you agree with this list and if your favorite team/stadium made it on here!

Cricket stadiums can't be a circle. The boundary line in an oval. Not all are the same size. But commonly a semicircle of 30 yards from the centre of each wicket. Which are are 1 chain (22 yards) apart. Hence the name Oval for the world famous cricket stadium in Kennington, London. Home to Surrey county cricket club since 1845.

That is because they committed the ultimate sin of moving,not "up the road" but 40 miles away deserting their old fans(they were WimbleDON before, like The Tennis:) The Cricket references. The Narrator was an admirer of Shane Warne who played for his State in Oz: "Victoria" but, also, for Hampshire in England. The "Trent" reference in Nottingham is where The Australians lost to England at Cricket and he joked that Cars were only introduced to one Northern County in The 1970s :)

[@danielferguson3784]

Ladies. Most stadiums in the UK were built in places, like the middle of towns, before cars were a thing, & the traditional way to travel to them was by train, for away supporters. The local fans could usually walk, cycle, or take a bus to matches, as teams were very much home grown, with players from the area, & as well as fans. So in most cases they did not, & often cannot cope with lots of car traffic. Only some recently built stadiums, out of the main urban areas, have extensive car parking facilities. In recent times the local attachment is not as strong as it was, because of players coming from all over the place to the main clubs, but there is still fierce loyalty to local clubs. By the way one of the great legends of English football died yesterday. World cup winner, & Manchester United icon, Sir Bobby Charlton (look him up) Rest in Peace. Rugby grounds & stadiums tend to be smaller than major football stadiums, because of not having the money that is spent on soccer. Rugby League has working class origins, while Rugby Union was the none professional game plaid by Gentlemen, originating in the 'Public' (private) schools. the rules for each type of rugby are a little different, but now it is possible to switch between them as Union is now also professional. Cricket grounds usually have little in the way of built structures, except for the major Test venues like Lord's, the Oval, Headingly etc. Traditional stadiums had stands, literally the fans stood to watch matches, but since the Hillsborough disaster , & similar problems, most football stadiums have had to become all seated by law.

Favourite of mine has to be Anfield, home to England's most successful football club, Liverpool F.C. Although I am a proud Scotsman, I have been a Liverpool fan throughout my life, all because of their iconic manager, the late and great Bill Shankly. You right to mention the song "You'll Never Walk Alone" which is always associated with the fans that stand in the Liverpool Kop at Anfield. Every home game, the late Gerry Marsden's vocal leads the singing as the players come on to the pitch. There is nothing to beat big European nights at Anfield for atmosphere.

Anfield is very overrated, it's an extremely dangerous area known for its child murders, one week after a child was shot a few hundred metres away from the stadium the players used a gun celebration. Liverpool fans are anti British and claim they are not English but then complain why some of there players aren't in the England team. It's a socialist area with a victim mentality. Yet there fans are big crying babies if they don't spend hundreds of millions in the transfer market. Liverpool fans are the worst fans in the UK by far. Let's not forget there bad behaviour and actions killed 38 people in the Heysel disaster and got all English teams banned from European competition for years. Linked to a decline in the English football pyramid. Imagine a cross between Chicago and Pyongyang

ITFC season ticket holder here! It was lovely to see Portman Road included. The pitch surface has been praised by many over the years, and Alan Ferguson, I believe won 7 Groundsman of the Year awards during his time there. The capacity has dropped slightly since this video to 29,673 due to a new scoreboard fitted in the corner of the stadium last season, but plans to rebuild the Cobbold stand (the one 'with the shady bit' as Natasha said! 😂) will no doubt significantly increase capacity. 'Uppa Towen' as we Ipswich fans say in Suffolk!

Great video 😁 Welford Road is my favourite! Me and Dad treat ourselves once a year to watch the rugby there😁❤️

[@andrewarnott6106]

You should totally check out rugby league. For an American, it is likely a lot easier to follow than union is. The team in possession has six tackles (similar to downs in American football) in which to score, and will usually punt (or try for a kicked goal) on the last tackle. And play is restarted after a tackle, rather than the ball being contested as in union, in a manner very unlike, but analogous to, the snap in American football. As a fan of both codes, I'd say that an average game of league is often more fun to watch than an average game of union.

[@stephenkerensky710]

Old Trafford is also the name of a cricket stadium, opened 1867. Football one 1910. Wrexham is in Wales.

Jealous of the old school cricket ovals. So much history and I'm glad some are kept more or less original which gives them quite a bit of character. Also very surprised that there is a stand at the Rose Bowl named after Aussie legend Shane Warne (crickets nortorious playboy). He died last year aged about 50. The partying etc caught up to him. His funeral was held at the MCG (biggest stadium in Australia) and he got a stand named after him there as well.

[@clivenewman4810]

The Rose Bowl has a Shane Warne stand because he played for Hampshire.

[@Stupot2030]

They named that stand after him in 2012 or something because he used to play for Hampshire. Besides, Warney was a player which transcended rivalries tbh, he was revered in England and it was a very sad day when he died.

Warne did a lot to help pull the club out of it's financial trouble when he came to play when it was on the brink of bankcruptcy. Yes, Rod Bransgrove put the money in, but he pulled attention to the club which was great for it

[@avalonm8541]

Warne played for Hampshire CCC for most of the 1990's and early 2000's unless he was playing for Australia, hence why the Stand has his name attached to it.

Lovely reaction video ladies. I must tip my hat to your awareness and willingness to embrace other cultures in knowledge and understanding. You raised a couple of points you requested feedback on: - The clubs are old, 1900’s in many cases. Therefore most of the stadiums were built where the team supporters and the team came from. Supporters couldn’t travel to games any other way apart from walking. Some stadiums have been moved away for better amenities, but not always with success, as at its grass roots it’s still a community sport. (Darlington being the prime example). This is why you still have the quaint and wonderful Kenilworth Road still going. Supporters still want them as part of the community. Arsenal for example was a team from the munitions factory of the Woolwich Arsenal. And the team nicknames can also reflect this, (Northampton town are called ‘the cobblers’, because they made shoes in the town). - Rugby Union stadium attendances. You’ve probably been watching international rugby union. The attendances are much larger than the domestic game. We have a national stadium in England, Twickenham, (82,000 capacity). The other 2 British nations have large national stadiums too, (Wales & Scotland) and not forgetting Ireland’s unique Landsdowne Road, with its very short 4th side due to local residents wanting some light. They do create wonderful atmospheres, especially Wales’ Millennium Stadium and Landsdowne Road. - Rugby split into 2 codes in Huddersfield 1895. (Above a pub). This was because it was an amateur game and the working class northerners couldn’t afford to play without payment, because they couldn’t afford to be away or even get time off work. Rugby League became the professional northern league and rugby Union remained as the amateur southern league, (realistically the midlands too). This is how it remained until Union became professional about 25 years ago. League is very popular in Australia. Far less international rugby league is played, therefore it gets less exposure to international audiences. When I have introduced people to Rugby for the first time, when watching both types they generally prefer the game of League, because it’s rules mean that it is much faster paced and simpler to pick up. Also people who know your Football tend to pick up League quite quickly due to the similarity with the ‘4 down system’. That said they also acknowledge the atmosphere of international rugby Union and the pride of the fans, makes it a great spectacle. I have played both, so will sit on the fence and not compare. - Shire. It’s usually pronounced, ‘Sher’ most places or ‘Shur’ in the north. Never ‘ire’. I could go into a lot of detail, but for brevities sake, I will just say this. English is made up of 3 main influences, German Anglo Saxon, Viking Norse and Norman French, (500 CE through to 1200 CE ish). Therefore lots of these places had sounds before we came to writing any of it down in a standardised way in the mid 1700’s. The 3 influences conflicted in pronunciation and spelling. So we have this weird looking pronunciation vs spelling as a result. It’s time and history. - ‘Ciderabad’ in Somerset. You probably aren’t as interested in this, but I’ll just shed some light. Baseball and cricket have some similarities. But a major difference is the ball should land on the ground before it gets to the batter, (hitter in baseball). It’s an international game and not all soil, (dirt) is the same. In India the ball tends to react a lot more off the ground, (spin). Somerset wanted to do this with their ground and they have a rather unique soil and so had a go. It worked. So, creative individuals looked at the similarity with India and took a major Indian city, (Hyderabad); and combined it with something Somerset is famous for, (Cider) and created Ciderabad. He also made other cricket references. He is from the state of Victoria in Australia and cricket is very popular in Australia. They are, in modern times a very successful team and one of their greatest players who he referenced was Shane Warne. In North American terms you would be comparing to the likes of Bryant, Brady, Gretzky etc. He sadly died recently in his 40’s, an all too sad comparison with Kobe. Keep going with the reactions and the questions. Loving the content.

Hi Girls, I'm from Huddersfield the home of the John Smith Stadium, named after the sponsor a brewery. Not only is it the home of Huddersfield Association Football Club nicknamed The Terriers(after the little dog known for biting your ankles) but is also the home of Huddersfield's Rugby League Football Club known as the Huddersfield Giants. Huddersfield was the birthplace of Rugby League which was formed on 29th August 1895 in the George Hotel (which is still in existence) when Northern Clubs broke away from the Union. This was because the Union refused to share the profits with the Northern Clubs. Rugby Union was in those days played , in the South, by Public School (Private Schools) pupils who still played after leaving. These were the rich people who could afford the kit and playing fields. The Northern Clubs were the Working Class who could not afford the proper kit etc. The Huddersfield Rugby League Football Club originally played at a ground in Fartown (stop sniggering it was literally the Far Town). The ground also had a cricket field which was a County Ground, which means Yorkshire County Cricket was allowed to play there You should check out both Rugby League and Cricket. Did you know that both Baseball and American Football were invented in England.

Bramall Lane is not the oldest stadium. Hallam’s Sandygate is the oldest stadium. Wrecsam’s is the oldest Football Stadium as unlike Hallam’s stadium, Y Cae Ras is a dedicated football stadium and Sandygate isn’t, Sandygate is a stadium that hosts cricket and football games so it’s technically not a football stadium. Bramall Lane is the oldest English Football Stadium as it was built in 1855, prior to Football being created. But they would not play their first Football game there until 1889. Deepdale was built in 1878 and was built specifically as a football stadium and has been used continuously as a football stadium throughout its entire history, so the guy was correct when he said Deepdale is the oldest continuously used stadium. If Wrecsam had not played a couple of seasons away from the Y Cae Ras in the 1880’s, Y Cae Ras stadium would be the oldest continuously used stadium, not Deepdale

Y Car Ras on the other hand was built in 1807 and is a dedicated football stadium. Deepdale as the guy said, is the oldest continuously used Football stadium. It was built for the sole purpose of a football stadium and has been used as such since it was built in 1878, so he was right about what he said. Bramall Lane was not used as a Football ground until 1889, basically a decade after Deepdale and like I said, if Wrecsam had not had a couple of seasons away from Y Cae Ras in the 18880’s, it would be and not Deepdale.

Ever since you covered Cricket for beginners , (you have covered our Football Stadium's) , but as featured why not take a closer look at some of the most stunning "County Championship Cricket Stadiums" from old to new these include those where England's home test match's are played, the MCCA (Minor Counties Cricket Association) are the grounds that sit below the first class cricket teams, but are some of the most historical and picturesque locations. well worth a look

Karl Pilkington from Manchester is the man with the roundest head in the world. This is him 😐

[@brianmountain3358]

He I gather is from Ashton on Mersey an area of Sale _ historically *AoMs most famous growing resident was Samuel Ryder ( Ryder cup)

[@stevendavidsmith8554]

It couldn’t get more spherical 👍 check him out

[@Lnch4ALion]

@@brianmountain3358 i don't know what that means. Karl Pilkington grew up around Salford i believe

[@samstevens7888]

I live a 5 minute drive from the Franklin garden stadium he showed for Northamptonshire. Lol The seating tends to be the same colours as the home teams shirts. That is why there is so much difference and why some are so colourful.

[@alexoutdoorsjournal]

Wrexham is indeed the oldest continuously used stadium I believe in the UK, however it’s not in England, but in Wales.

[@MrSwifts31]

Wembley Stadium 90,000 Twickenham - stadium description In its history it went through 7 significant revamps. Their effect is an 82,000-capacity venue with fans on three tiers of covered seating. Thus, from 2006, Twickenham is the 2nd largest stadium in England and 4th in Europe for any football code.

[@Adrian_1972]

I think his pronunciation of shire reflects his Australian accent. I think that Natasha has the British English pronunciation correct. Glad my home stadium in Warrington was featured. Coming from a rugby league town you definitely should check it out. Less players than union and more fast flowing game. Rugby league is generally played in the North and Union in the South, but there are some exceptions to the rule. Glad that you learnt that Liverpool is in the county of Merseyside, as that neighbours Cheshire where I live.

[@ericforsyth]

Accents in the South tend more toward shee(r), North more towards shuh I wonder how much it correlates to the pronunciation of year, as I pronounce shire "shuh" and year "yuuh". I'd hazard a guess there's a large overlap, but still far from 1:1.

[@Adrian_1972]

Agree about the north south divide on this point of pronunciation.

[@kat95623]

I was born in the South and pronounce it sheer

[@Adrian_1972]

Yes I’m a shuh person from the north

[@jimb9063]

A big hello back from Shropshire ladies! Our new ground is very much a "cookie cutter" ground as I believe they're called in the States. The old one was in the town centre, and 5 minutes walk from about 50 pubs. It also "had character," i.e. ramshackle with a mud bath pitch, being underwater for a couple of weeks a year due to the proximity of the River Severn. That did allow for a coracle based ball retrieving system though. Quite useful, considering we've spent almost all our history in the lower leagues, and the ball ended up over The Riverside terrace more times than would be aesthetically ideal!

[@johnredmond5013]

Ibrox Park home of Glasgow Rangers is one of the best football stadiums in the world.

[@Mark-Haddow]

Home of Sevco who changed their name to something similar to a dead club. They purchased it after the former owners were liquidated. Sevco can not by law claim to be the former club, or operate with that liquidated club's registration. It's why this new club didn't play in Europe until they qualified years later. Whereas the other Glasgow club did; when they were bought by Pacific Shelf (Ltd)

[@johnredmond5013]

Just as well it is not Celtic Park, home of the biggest sex offence ring in world football, where at least 6 coaches have been found guilty of sexual offences, and many many youth team players abused.@@Mark-Haddow

[@Mark-Haddow]

@@johnredmond5013 Yeah, that never happened. And much like the dead Rangers; their paedophile(s) died before facing those they abused. Gordon Neely died of cancer and John Chalmers killed himself. But hey; thank you for reminding us how you need to use paedophillia when you feel upset.

That Never happened? Torbett? Cairney, McCafferty? McCauley? and others, they never happened? get your green tinted glasses off.

[@malcolmsleight9334]

Fun fact - the old Derby stadium was called the Baseball Ground. That's because in WWII the US troops built a baseball field, and then after the war, the football stadium was built over it, but the name stayed.

[@thebristolianmackem2039]

Ur getting my first dislike ladies sorry u need to get red and white Sunderland tops haha

[@apsutcliffe2010]

The County Ground in Somerset has changed a bit from what you see in the video. There was a housing development on the side and most residents like to sit on their balconies on game days to watch the cricket for free. The cricket club also arranged for some giant floodlights to be put up, and these are now the highest objects in the town. They look like giant fly swatters!

[@kathchandler4919]

Oh my goodness lasses , as this started I rhought you had just come in from the Toon . Of course I was at SJP yesterday , the Cathedral on the Hill, St James' Park , was going to ask you if you'd enjoyed yourselves, brilliant match, we beat Crystal Palace 4-0 , each goal being scored by an English lad, 3 if whom were local , the 4th, Jacob Murphy, a mad Toon fan for birth alongside his identical twin, Josh ! Some going considering we have , like all Premier League teams , many Nationilities at Newcastle! Anyway, you've never looked better, you wear those tops when you visit and you're immediately recognised as family, Howay the lasses, see you soon 💕 🖤 🤍 Just a quick edit, I think I was a bit taken by surprise in seeing you girls looking so good in our kit, yes, all 4 goal scorers were English but not all were local or started as Mags, our Anthony Gordon scored a magnificent goal & he's from Liverpool, ah well, few of the the Everton supporters treated him so badly that he was glad to come here & he's now an adopted Geordie , love the lad xxx

The very first stadium Kenilworth rd. Luton. It has terraced houses around it so to enter you have to go between the houses, my gran's sister had a house there and when we sat in her back room all you could see was the back of the stadium.

Rugby league is a very fun game to watch. The rules are a little bit similar to American football (so many tackles/downs then the ball gets handed over). Its a very fast paced game and I think with the right amount of advertising it could become quite big in the US

[@josephsansom593]

I am originally from Derbyshire now I live in Devon but I support Sunderland I’m not from there I don’t like Newcastle and Middlesbrough I still watch the video

According to the Football Association the oldest football ground in continuous use is Sandy Lane of Hallam FC the Oldest professional ground in continuous use is Field Mill home of Mansfield Town FC and who by the way wear a kit manufactured by the same company Newcastle use.

Wow! Great to see Scarborough's North Marine Road make the stadium list. Easy walking distance from the town centre and station it is well known for people getting sunburn - it is bowl shaped and a complete sun trap with very little cover. Various hats and knotted handkerchiefs come into fashion on the day!!! Take care and congratulations on 20 years together.

Bolton Wanderers stadium has just been renamed the ToughSheet Stadium. Originally when it was first built in 1997 it was called the Reebok Stadium. It has had a few names since, but Most fans still call it the Reebok. It also has a hotel attached to it and has held many concerts including kicking off P!nks European tour at the Reebok this summer (See its still the Reebok ha!) Elton John played here, Little Mix, The Killers. Oh and Coldplay filmed their music video Fix You in the Reebok when they held a concert here. It is on the outskirts of Bolton with lovely views especially of Rivinington Pike. Love your videos thank you for sharing. Hayley from Bolton x

[@spurs1234ish]

Deepdale - Preston North End Preston North End are one of the grand old clubs of North West football. Founder members of the Football League, they were the very first team to win the league and cup double. And their ground - Deepdale - is also steeped in history. It first hosted football in 1878 and has since then also been home to the town's cricket and rugby teams too. Although Preston have not experienced too much glory since those early days, 1966 World Cup winners Bobby Moore and Nobby Stiles both managed the club during the 1970s. Another reflection of Deepdale's place in the game is that it housed the National Football Museum from 2001 to 2010.

[@markhutton6824]

Got give a shout out for the shirts you're wearing as life long and mostly suffering fan of Newcastle United. One of the nicest places in the UK and the stadium in the heart of that City is spectacular.

[@indianskye]

@markhutton6824 Ipswich fan here. St James' Park is probably my favourite stadium that I've been to. 54,000 NUFC & ITFC fans unitedly singing 'There's only one Bobby Robson'...will never forget that memory! 😊

[@DHW3008]

For Luton town, look up Kenilworth Road away end and you'll see what they mean. Also calling it early. Sincill Bank will replace our own Blundell Park for Lincolnshire. UTM!

[@titchs9098]

Yes, away fans have to walk through a row of terrace houses to get to the away stand, of Luton’s Kenilworth road. Despite living near Luton, it’s a place I avoid as much as possible 😄

[@malsm8892]

In Manchester is also the Lancashire Cricket Ground also called Old Trafford there are 2 tram lines through the area. The City Ground has a dedicated tram stop plus another near the Velodrome of Alan Turing Way

[@StewH08]

Great video ladies.❤👍

[@orwellboy1958]

Bristol!? Why would you want to live in Bristol! The best thing about Bristol is the M5 bypasses it. The first stadium mentioned Kennelworth Road is a dump that feels like you're walking through someone's garden to get in to. My favourite stadium next to Anfield (yes, I'm a Liverpool supporter) is St. James's Park. The Newcastle fans are a credit to their club, stuck by the Magpies through thick and thin, the atmosphere is brilliant.

[@highpath4776]

Parking is not normally a key requirement of stadiums in the UK. Most folk would walk (in the 1900s catch a tram) so good railway services are more useful. Manchester City's stadium being in an area now devoid of housing does have large car parking as does Leeds United's Elland Road ( when that was established the terraced houses and woollen mills were nearby , now gone.

[@chriswilkinson4605]

Just outside City of London before you get to Moorfields is the playing fields etc of one of the Territorial Army regiment units. A splendid sports ground with not much viewing , I think a local (Barbican based ?) School uses it too.

[@BrianCarter-k8g]

Rugby Union is the original game and is played with 15 men and the same shaped ball and there is a genuine contest for the ball when you restart the game either with a scrum or lineout. There is also a contest for the ball after every tackle. 5 points for a try,, 2 for a conversion, 3 for a penalty. Rugby League has only 13 men and is an offshoot started when some wanted to become professional, many many years ago. It is played more like American Football though passes do have to be backward. You get 6 tackles before you have to give the ball to the other team, so teams tend to kick after 5th tackle. There is no contest for the ball at each tackle or at a scrum. There are no lineouts, a non-contested scrum instead. As you keep possession after each tackle a team rarely kicks until after 5th tackle. In many peolple's opinion, Union is a multi faceted game because it is a contest at every stage whereas League is one dimensional.

[@davidhenry58]

I'm a Sunderland fan. We are the arch rivals of Newcastle Utd. The rivalry is borderline hatred. I guess it's like Chicago Bears and Green bay Packers (its seems like an explosive rivalry on the Connors lol). I have friends who are Newcastle fans, so I am not overly bothered by you wearing the top and obviously preferring St James Park to the Stadium of Light, but some fans are so passionate that you could lose followers who support Sunderland. This is how passionate rivalries can be in England. You won't lose me though. I love your content. 😊

[@seanfoxhall6761]

Firstly congrats. on renewing your vows Ladies ❤️. Loved the Vid., esp. since my local stadium was in 😁, KC stadium, although only seen ELO there...not the footy! (Liverpool fan).
