Exploring the OLDEST Premier League STADIUM ⚽️🏟️ 

Sheffield Home of Football ✊🏼❤️ we ain’t got a barrel of money but as a city; Sheffield F.C, Hallam F.C, Wednesday and The Blades ⚔️✊🏼❤️we represent the origins of club football worldwide

I think you held back a bit, it's the city where football was born.

The Bramall Lane Stadium .. Were the very first Premier League goal was scored by the legendary Blades striker Brian Dean in a 2-1 victory over Manchester United. SHEFFIELD UNITED FC ⚔️ THE BLADES ⚔️

Brilliant ground and great supporters!!!! Very friendly

If you looked at the plaques on the wall around the south stand ( Tony Curry stand) it tells you historic things ie 1st team to play under floodlights ⚔️

The beginning of the vlog made me smile regards the semantics of what is the oldest. The stadium announcer, when the players entered the pitch decades ago, always used to say "Welcome to Beautiful Downtown Bramall Lane, the oldest ground in world football", then for many years it changed to "oldest major stadium in the world", then became "oldest professional stadium in the world", then last season it was "one of the oldest stadiums in the world" now this season the announcer has changed it again and says "Welcome to Beautiful down town Bramall Lane, one of the most historical stadiums in the world". Note: The stadium announcer referring to our stadium as "Beautiful down town Bramall Lane" is a bit of an in-joke that's stuck over the decades, think I first heard the announcer first use that description from the 1980's. Now Unitedites don't say we play at Bramall Lane, proper Blades say we play at Beautiful Down Town Bramall Lane ha ha.

The Mecca of football ⚽⚽⚽

i went to this ground watching Everton about 1971. there were only three stands. enourmous cricket pitch on the side where you were outside with the club shop etc. ..the Ball boys were the fittest in the league chasing loose shots!

If I've understood you, you went to see United away at Burnley (5-0) and home to Villa (0-5)... Please don't come to watch us again pal. Nice video though.

Proper football ground would love to visit

I have my name on a brick at BDTBL!⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️

Mad that, subscribed last week hoping you would do Bramall Lane as I'm a ST holder and here we are, good stuff mate

I been watching all your videos lately, i enjoy watching them alot and seeing the notifications when you release them, keep up the great work mate!!! ❤

Bit more about the cricket history of Bramall Lane,in 1855 a team representing Yorkshire played its first county cricket match at the ground against Sussex.The official Yorkshire County Cricket Club was not formed until 1863 and its HQ was at Bramall Lane until they moved it to Headingley in 1893.Geoff Boycott scored his first county century and in 1968,Yorkshire captained by Fred Trueman, beat an Australia full test XI by an innings and 60-odd runs all at Bramall Lane.County cricket continued to be played at Bramall Lane until 1973.The construction of the South Stand began soon after, over the cricket square, finally enclosing the football pitch on all four sides.

Sheffield United club shop staff = jobsworth

Also, Villa are originally formed from a church of course. The oldest church club in the world formed from Cemetery Road Church which is 10 mins walk from Bramall Lane. There is a blue plaque to note them as the world's first church club in the car park of the gym just off Cemetery Road. Other church clubs - Man City, Everton (so Liverpool), Spurs, Southampton, Barnsley, Celtic, Birmingham, Bolton, West Bromwich, Wolves Fulham etc.....

Hi Ry's, great video!! Regarding the Field Mill claim. There is no evidence that I am aware of but Mansfield claim the local workers played football at Field Mill in 1861. Assuming they did, we don't know what form of football they may or may not have played, what rules (likely not anything linked to association football) and there was no organised club at that point so the game was defined as "knock-about". Also, if you look on old maps there was no actual stadium at Field Mill in-till many years after 1861, it was literally just a field. In contrast, "knock-about" football has been played at Bramall Lane (a purpose built stadium in 1855) as early as winter 1855 by members of the Sheffield Cricket Club who in 1857 formed Sheffield FC, an organised club. Sheffield FC played Hallam FC (another organised club) at Bramall Lane in 1862 and to Sheffield rules. Sheffield rules are the foundation rules of modern association football, we still play by them today. Bramall Lane and not Field Mill is the oldest professional association football stadium in the world. To be helpful, dropping that word association in when looking at the history of association football usually helps define the credible claims from those that are not. Cheers!!

Wednesday who used to be called the "Blades" played at Bramall Lane before Sheffield United took over when the "Wednesday moved to Owlerton.

There are stadium tours at Bramall Lane.....but only on set dates.

We are, and always will be the first EVER United too!! ⚔️⚔️

I think the current owners of Newcastle United should have bought Sheffield FC instead . It would have been a fun project to make them super enormous. The club history is already amazing.

At Bramall Lane you can normally cut the atmosphere with a knife especially at the end of this game.

Good video Ry! I recently done some research on Sheffield FC and they play Hallam FC for the Rules Derby. Also interesting is The History of The FA Cup with teams like Clapham Rovers, Blackburn Olympic , Wanderers who hold the record for 3 back to back Trophy wins and Engineers. Back to Sheffield Utd and It definitely looks an old school ground with old school food. Keep them coming. 👏

Great video of Beautiful Downtown Bramall Lane. Thank you very much. My wife and her parents are from Bradford Upon Avon and they can’t quite work out your accent. Some saying Bristol, some saying Yeovil. Wot you saying? 😅 Regardless, keep up the good work, really enjoyed the video

great vid!

FIELD MILL STADIUM Another old but gold hotspot, this stadium was built in 1861, within the home of Mansfield Town, Nottinghamshire. Despite it standing for a shorter period of time than Bramall, it in fact holds the longest reign for a stadium that used their grounds purely for football. It only officially became home of the Stags however, during 1919 permanently. Before that it was used by multiple clubs at a time. The stadium here has seen multiple upon multiple events within its reign and standing, however one of the most historic moments was the performance of Westlife here, within 2010. The tour took place here by Westlife, when the stadium was sold by its previous owner. Unfortunately, due to a clause within the agreement of the purchase, there will not be any sport permitted to play here, until 2032. Surely, it will still be standing by then, won't it?

Nice one again Ry top man keep um coming

Great vid mate can’t wait for the Tranmere vid big up mate 🙌🏻❤️

Get down to Gigg Lane. First time derby game tonight at Gigg, Bury v Ramsbottom United.

Held the first competitive football cup final - The Youdan cup!! Also original home ground of Yorkshire CC, as well a being the oldest major football stadium in the world - what a venue!!

Top stuff mate 😃

Superb video Ry,can i just expand on Sheffield FC though? Should be the last couple of years playing in Dronfield with artists impressions for a new 5,000 seat stadium 1.5 miles to the north of Dronfield,at Meadowhead having recently been released. The owner sponsors both Sheffield Club and Sheffield Eagles RLFC and the proposals will see both clubs use the new ground which will allow a rise through the divisions for FC and significantly raise the ground grading score of the Eagles in their attempt to gain promotion to Super League. Sheffield Eagles RLFC currently play at the Olympic Legacy Stadium which sits on the site of Don Valley Stadium,a one time home of Rotherham United. The 3G pitch and its single new stand and clubhouse was to have been shared with Sheffield United FC Women,but they instead moved into BL. Little known fact for you....Ipswich Town fans have watched Sheffield Eagles play at the Olympic Legacy Stadium.Their game at Oakwell Barnsley in League 1 got called off, so they just turned up on the gate! 😅❤ Oh one other thing,the BL end that you were sat in was named after Jessica-Ennis Hill a few years after her Olympic Games success,with Don Valley Stadium bieng her former training ground,she was allowed to keep a section of the athletics track finish line before its demolition.Jessica asked that her name be removed from the stand following controversy surrounding former player Ched Evans.

The Tony Currie Stadium is built where the cricket pavilion was located . It was built in the early 1970s. Near the shop is a memorial to past fans . My brother’s memorial was there. He died too young at 45. First match I went to the entrance fee for a junior was two shillings and sixpence.

Love your content, wishing you the best from America!

thanks ryan brilliant result well done villa i have nothing to say about this mob be lucky steve

Just to add to the confusion of oldest football clubs Ry , my local team - Maidenhead United have the record ? as the club were established in October 1870 and have played at York Road since 1871, making it the 'oldest senior football ground continuously used by the same club .There's a plaque on the wall at the ground attesting to this . Wikipedia has all the info on the club - Maidenhead United also , In 1871-72 they were one of the fifteen clubs to play in the inaugural FA Cup . Their nickname are the Magpies , and play in a kit of Black and White stripes - remind you of anyone else ? .

played for both sheffield fc, and hallam fc among others and a blade.

Have you done Edgar st? I remember going there in the 90s for an LDV vans cup tie against Northampton when they were still Hereford Utd and in the football league.

BDTBL my football paradise

My mate's a Hereford fan, from Ross. I've been to Edgar Street a few times.

Ahhh, i live round the corner to the blades. Should have said id have gotten you a pint and taken you around the place. At the bottom of my road is a plaque on the site of sheffield fcs old stadium. Next time lol

the corner you were talking about is what you get when you employ utterly inept architects (Carey Jones) who get unqualified cheap employees to lash something together on the cheap. I know because said architects stole the job from me.

Mother’s Day is coming soon, mate. Better have something nice planned for her. Perhaps a Villa Park tour?

The oldest premier league stadium is Turf Moor. It's literally the second oldest continuously used ground on the same foundations in the professional leagues after Deepdale.

Bramall is an older stadium than Field Mill though regardless of the sport. Excellent video btw!👌 ⚔️⚔️

Hallam very well supported for a non league outfit

I dont like bramall pane saying im a Wednesday fan but its all right i guess. You should visit Hillsborough stadium 🏟️

♥⚔♥

Only been once to this ground, but loved it. Saw England women in the Euro semi final. Only one thing, I am a fat guy, and those turnstiles are for slim people only. 😂

Great vid. It's confusing with the stadiums and the year they opened, etc My team plays at the world's oldest international stadium. :).

Can you go to Retford united please

Come to Oldham athletic

Pretty sure sheffield FC is in Dronfield, so its technically not part of sheffield

Hey mate just wondering what camera do you use ?

luton when?

It isn't though is it, oldest ground is Hallam's Sandygate

Lols they don’t do tours of the ground that’s were your wrong
