Excellent documentary Nieve. I remember going to Millmoor as an away fan in the 80's. The away entrance was further down that alley that Ed and you were on. Our coaches were taken on a police escort around some dodgy industrial back streets to get to the turnstyles. We went past Booth's scrapyard where we saw a scrap London Underground tube carriage that did not move for at least five years

[@mrmajeika6101]

Loved the Ed Chapman colab.

[@tomlee812]

Very nicely done video. This could have been my club of Southend United, whom I first went to watch in 1966 just after England had won the World Cup. We just avoided administration this season by the skin of our teeth, but we still got deducted 10 points and are now in the National League, the hardest league to get out of (Unless you have Hollywood superstar backing that is). Our owner tried to run the club and stadium into the ground, which he wanted to develop as a housing estate. Fortunately a consortium (who seem decent people...we shall see...) is bailing us out but the takeover still has to be finalised. Clubs like ours, and Reading and Bury and Chester etc, etc, have rich local histories and I appreciate you highlighting them on your channel. Oh yes, I love your dry sense of humour too. Many thanks.

[@sydnorth5868]

There are loads of clubs in a seriously perilous financial position at the moment. I'm a Blackburn Rovers fan and I am seriously worried about where we are heading. Our Indian owners have been bailing us out to the tune of about 20m quid every year since 2012, while still (mostly) managing to avoid any FFP sanctions. However, the Indian Government has decided that this appears to be some sort of tax write off and now every bailout payment has to be approved by the Indian courts. The only thing keeping us going at the moment is the recent 18m sale of Adam Wharton to Crystal Palace. Like you said, lots of clubs have "rich local histories". Blackburn Rovers have a rich national history, which is danger of becoming just history.

[@tomlee812]

I wish you well. You have such a rich heritage. The Southend MP has been brilliant and really pushed our cause. Let’s hope all those teams in trouble come out OK….🤞

[@loyalroyal]

As a Reading season ticket holder I sincerely hope your takeover goes well for your club. Only been there once ( A 5.0 thrashing) but hopefully will again All the best.

Hi Stuntpegg, on Sunday 3rd of march I actually played a game at millmoor i believe they opened it up for a Sunday league side to use I play in under 16s and it was an incredible experience the nostalgia to be able to play at a proper football stadium that has hosted intense matches for fans that can I longer get through the barbed wiring ( obviously to hide the ancient secrets ). But I just thought I’d let you know that it is now being used for Sunday league games that I was lucky enough to partake in. Love the vids and I’m also a massive fan of Ed’s so would love to see more of you two in the future.

[@danbradford7127]

I'm a lifelong Miller. Got into Football through watching us at Millmoor. Watched dozens of matches & never saw us win a game. As I was becoming Footie-mad we were in administration plummeting down the leagues. Then we moved to Don Valley, the worst Footie ground I've ever been to. When we were playing there we were woeful, almost as bad as the ground. My season ticket had me sat behind a wide pillar, I couldn't see the pitch at all. I obviously never sat in my official seat, not that that mattered as 90% of seats were empty. If you had binoculars you could just about see the pitch. And on the rare occasion you'd see us scrape a win against the likes of Aldershot Town & Macclesfield.

[@CaptainCalculus]

I'm going to have that damn song in my head all day now....thnks

[@driving_all_over]

Rugby fan here, I seem to remember something in the news about a decade ago that the Titans were going to move out of Clifton Lane into there (they did spend the 2003-04 season at Millmoor when they were in the top flight). Strange that it never happened. It probably wouldn't happen at the minute as they've since dropped down to the 4th tier, although they are currently 2nd behind fellow former top flight team Leeds so could still be promoted. Hopefully one day someone does end up using it, whether it be the Titans or another sports club.
