There was a guy on St. Annes Rd in Doncaster that built his own stand at the back of the old Belle Vue ground to watch Doncaster Rovers. It can still be seen on Google maps :)

[@jaye26]

U should visit Oban saints fc..down in oban 😊

[@kylecorman7859]

If that little stand isn’t the epitome of smaller league and junior tier games, I’m not sure what would be. Still, seeing such a supportive crew of fans shows how much the local team means to fans. Great work as always.

[@jimmycburfield5997]

Well done for highlighting and celebrating the joy that comes with enjoying football in lower league, junior level and none league! What a brilliant community asset such a club is.

As a Scotsman living in Perth Australia I so enjoy your Chanel. This makes me miss the old country a lot...Queen of the South fan, flew back to Scotland for the Scottish cup in 2007 was a great time....thanks mate.

[@ollieduracell]

Love lower league football. Looks like a great ground and the pitch looks fantastic! One of the local teams to me, a blokes back garden backs onto one of the stands and whilst he didnt build a stand, he can happily watch the game over his fence. Love to see it

[@FootyAdventures]

Haha love that!

[@mrade5321]

When Camelon won the Junior Cup in 94-95 against Whitburn (my local team), I think the score was 2-0 to Camelon and it was played at Fir Park. Every game I went to support Whitburn, they won. I never made it to the final and they lost. I accept full responsibility for that. Sorry Whitburn 🙁

[@henrypollock7987]

I had the same thing with the 2000 season with Essendon in Aussie rules lost the only game I didn’t watch 😢

[@JB-kf2hu]

That little stand is the coolest thing ever! Hats off to the man.

[@ian38018a]

A wee brat threw an egg at me once from that garden many years ago - I wonder if it was him as a laddie. 😆

[@donbeatees9923]

Around Wrigley Field in Chicago (baseball) the owners of neighboring buildings built stands on top of their roofs in order to watch the game for free (and then to eventually charge others). The stands are still there and you can still catch a game from atop the rooftops across the street to this day.

[@jimmycburfield5997]

Nice! I love fishing, I love pies and a bit of footy. That is a nice ground, a little quirky. It looks well maintained and loved. Speaking as an Annan fan, I like the four sides! Great choice

[@gerryhibbs6871]

What a great channel Sam! I only discovered Footy Adventures today after spotting your Stenhousemuir video by chance. Already watched 5 of your videos and very well done. Love the interviews with the people involved with these small clubs, and seeing small grounds like Camelon Juniors is a real treat. Greetings from Australia.

[@FootyAdventures]

Thanks so much mate I appreciate that. I’ve made over 750 videos from all over so lots to catch up on if you’ve got some spare time. I even started my channel in oz at Central Coast Mariners in 2019. Good times! All the best mate. Cheers

[@AB-kx4nc]

The main football you tuber by far 👏

[@janetcrawford9844]

Great to see you made it along to Camelon Juniors, Sam. I was sitting with you at Stenny game other week telling you about what a great wee club they are, having supported them as a kid.

[@PleasantvilleLad]

The playing surface is much better than Dens Park ….

[@robbuchanan3702]

😂

[@johngreenhorn8853]

A Chinese paddy field is better than Dens😂, The Juniors pitch is actually top notch.

[@stephenkelly1887]

The canal actually passes behind Firhill. Paddle the canoe from Hibs to Partick Thistle nil! I'd join you on my kayak, but I'm about a squillion years old. I'd happily sponsor you for that.

[@d4rr3n41]

Great content👏 I seen a clip on tiktok and came over to watch it all. That club is well run, The pitch is superb, some clubs in the top league need to take note.

[@mckenr07]

If i was the owner of the ground maintenance company, I’d send a quote to Dundee

[@d4rr3n41]

😂😂 dundee definitely should be hiring new ground staff ​@@mckenr07

[@tomflyinghat9122]

Great report of a very tidy lower league ground. You can stroll along the canal path from the Falkirk Wheel to get the best view of the stadium. Thanks for your excellent coverage of Scottish football

[@billywhizz2847]

I want to see you canoe from Ibrox to Orkney FC. Put it on a Patreon and retire early 👑❤️🛶

[@FootyAdventures]

Maybe one day!

[@davekirk5943]

Sam I stay in Camelon, but on Tuesday night I hopped over to watch Kennoway Star Hearts, new ground for me. They literally play in the middle of a farm! Well worth a visit, cracking steak pie

[@billywhizz5021]

Eden Park Auckland, which is New Zealand’s national/ biggest stadium. Back in the 80’s a man built a stand in his back garden, it seated roughly 50 people, and ironically was nicknamed the "scotsman stand". When Eden park was redeveloped for the 2011 rugby World Cup finals, this stands view was taken away. But, if you look closely, there is a small structure inside the ground, in much the same spot, which is clearly a small tribute to the original out of ground stand.

[@MusicUniverseGermany]

In Germany we don't necessarily have stands on private grounds but something like houses right next to the smaller stadiums is absolutely normal. one example is the TSV Havelse in the northern germany 4th league - the regionalliga nord. There you can watch games from behind the goalside from the comfort of your own apartment if you wish xD

[@bobsteele9581]

Another fantastic video Sam 👍

[@thesnudge1]

Cycled past there yesterday. Looks a cracking wee ground with a lovely pitch

[@aaronburke-f3d]

I made it in your video ahah got a photo with you at the end of the game lovely guy

[@garymacdonald7165]

Can that guy not get one or two local Ultras into the smallest stand in Scotland?

I definitely wanna see you can know from wherever to wherever that sounds awesome. Grab a couple plants along the way. Maybe even a few pints

[@GenialHarryGrout]

Camelon have a SFA licence which isn't surprising with all the off pitch work that has been done.

[@markgreen950]

That little stand reminds me of the Chicago Cubs, some of the surrounding blocks of flats have little stands on the roof that look down into the ballpark.

[@fioredeutchmark]

Bit different from Wrigley Field 😂

[@Wibtlol]

That man is a legend honestly. Imagine if that club ever became really successful. Surely they’d have to name a stand after that guy right?

[@stephenkelly1887]

Buckie pie! Only in Scotland. Mad Dog hot dogs next! My mate has a flat overlooking Newlandsfield. He buys a season ticket though.

[@johngreenhorn8853]

[@Newyorkred_rg8ou]

I went to watch the Boston Red Sox a few years back.. on the far side, the people in the flats have built their own viewing galleries… they charge thousands for people to sit in their front room. The Red Sox tried to build up the far stand to get more people in but they lost the court case as it would have stopped people in these apartments from watching the games. Only in America
