THEIR HOME STADIUM IS IN A DIFFERENT COUNTRY?!

TNS (The New Saints FC) play in Oswestry (England) but compete in the Welsh Premier Division.
TNS are the most times winners of the Cymru Premier and in this video I saw them beat Pontypridd Town 2-0.

What other clubs defy borders???

[@WhitecapsInsider]

The Vancouver Whitecaps. Play in the USA first tier but are located in Canada. Also CF Montréal & Toronto FC play in the MLS but are located in Canada

[@thebubblydreamz]

So is Footy adventures ever planning to go global? I mean there are a lot of stadiums out there and I am sure most clubs in my country of Zimbabwe will say yes

[@Watcher22]

Great video looking forward to Wrexham one. Have you called into Cefn Druids FC?

[@vakama4923]

Chester in the National North

[@depekthegreat359]

Obvious one is Carlisle United and Sheriff Tiraspor of Moldova which has a border of Moldova and Ukraine,good friend Sam!!!🏋‍♂️

[@TommyRogic18]

Get yourself up Bangor 1876 Sam, fan owned, fan founded and the story of the club after the shambles that became Bangor City is shocking. They also have the current shortest distance in the UK between their home ground and their nearest rivals, even shorter than the two Dundee clubs. Great that you’re looking at the Welsh league. Thanks mate!

[@lja8187]

As always very informative Sam. That took me back over 50 years. I was stationed at Park Hall Camp in Oswestry when I joined the Army in '69.

[@jayroberts4858]

A good list of Welsh Clubs to visit: Cefn Druids - (oldest club in Wales) Caernarfon Town - (best fanbase & stadium in the Welsh Prem) Colwyn Bay or Llandudno FC - 2 clubs on the rise bach to the Welsh Prem

[@FootyAdventures]

Great suggestions!

[@dand1977]

That close to Shrewsbury Town in League One. The English Club that has won 6 FA Cups.... Welsh FA Cups that is(A record for an English League Club). The site of the former picturesque Gay Meadow home to Shrewsbury Town for 97 years 1910-2007. There is still a wall left from the old Wakeman End also know as the Cecil Duffel Terrace. Then of course the new Montgomery Waters Meadow built 2007 home of the first rail seated end out of the 92. I'd gladly show you around👍🏻 Other interesting things 67 times winners of The Shropshire Senior Cup(The oldest cup competition in the world). Arthur Rowley played and manged then and he's The English football Leagues all time record goalscorer 434 goals. 👍🏻

Nice to see you cover the Welsh leagues mate! Get yourself to one of the big clubs like Bangor, Caernarfon or Colwyn Bay in the North or Barry, Abertstwyth or Haverfordwest in the south if you want more crowds.

[@huwharries2716]

Your pronunciation of the Welsh villages are spot on as well 👍

[@webbofysgethin2127]

What's going on with Bangor these days? Is it Bangor City or Bangor 1876 that are the main supported club?

[@huwharries2716]

@@webbofysgethin2127 not a 100% sure mate. Think the core fanbase have created 1876 due to what happened with Bangor City few years back. I think they play a couple of league below the prem at the minute so they’re not far from getting back.

What a lovely video! Easily one of your best! Clubs that defy borders? Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver in MLS. But seriously you gotta pop over summer 2023 and check out Canadian Premier League side Halifax Wanderers (because they are closest to you) or maybe spend a day or two checking out the three Ontario clubs Ottawa, Hamilton and York (because you can get to each of them via transit fairly easily).

credit to the loyal supporters within or outside Oswestry(numerous titles) - the town should have a breakaway team to get back into the English pyramid(better off with far bigger support) - the New Saints should be playing in a town on the Wales side(no disrespect).

A picture can paint a thousand words just like the almost zero support. The Tns owner has seen a gap in the market with Euro money and Tns being full time gives such an advantage the league is in need of serious help it has become a one horse race. Critical maybe but when you see it live you will understand my POV.

[@lawrencewilson6561]

Great vid Sam, I use to coach at TNS now managing Llanfair United in the ardal north east league (tier 3) would be great if you could come down to a game 👍⚽️

[@becca1927]

I would say TNS would same as the Northern Ireland Premier League teams with in turn the NI Premier League would be equal to mid table teams in the Sky Bet League 2 as for the rest of the Welsh Premier i would say there National League North/South

[@eileannach4350]

Probably equivalent to SFL League 1 or 2 and Challenge Cup results bear that out!

Hey Mate , first great channel love your visits and storys of football grounds ...I just wanted to pass an idea your way , that woild be a fantastic addition to you channel , and answer a question that im sure , goes through the thoughts of many Footy Fans..Thats the history as to why Football clubs wear the colours they do,, Why do Liverpool wear Red, why do Rangers wear Blue and so on , be great addition if you delved into these and be interesting viewing...Where did the black & white stipes come from at Newcastle or The yellow from Norwich...anyway just an idea , hope you find the question intriguing..

Alan Shields Hamilton South Lanarkshire Scotland I can remember Inter Cable Tel Of Cardiff playing Celtic in The U.E.F.A Cup in season 1996/1997 I think it was in a qualifying round if I remember right When Cable Tel & Tele West where bought over buy N.T.L now Virgin Media they rebrand as Inter Cardiff & them merged with Cardiff Metropolitan University F.C how play in The Welsh Premier Division currently. I would say that The New Saints are the same standard as Auchinleck Talbot & to give an English League comparison King's Lynn Town how are currently top of The National League North I feel that is a fair competition.
