I Visited The Worlds OLDEST Football Stadium! 

Had a look on Google Earth as I was curious - the pitch has an elevation of 249 metres at one end and 244 metres at the other. A 5 metre drop over 100 metres is absolutely mental. You can zoom in to pitch-level on Google Earth and it's a proper slope! For perspective, it's actually steeper than any section of mainline railway in the UK. Too steep for our trains - perfect for football!

I laughed that Alfie couldn't grasp how they were the second oldest club but had the oldest stadium.

Mad respect to you for not editing out the part where your snot flies out of your nose. Wonderful stuff. 😊

Alfie you got shafted mate! I all seriousness, I want to go here myself one day. Hallam FC and Sheffield FC should be a pilgrimage for all football fans

Pausing the video at 9.31 is absolutely hilarious. Incredible cinematography, a milestone in British Comedy. Bravo.

Actually worlds oldest stand is right in your back yard in great yarmouth

So didn’t you venture into the bar where in the entrance you’d have seen a replica of the oldest football trophy in the world (the original is priceless and once featured on Antiques Roadshow so locked away) which was won by Hallam F.C

Away Days is the wholesome content we need more of in the world. Thanks Ellis.

You need to come to Maidenhead Uniteds York Road before we move grounds. The olldest continuously used football ground in the world by the same club. There is a lot of history and at the moment there is a lot of disagreement about the ground move and petition against the council for not allowing the move.

The top goal line is in line with the bottom crossbar its so slanted, also Daniel Pudil was playing for the hammer and pincers Sunday team, which is a pub team round the corner before he played for Hallam. He played an game for them that the Hallam chairman or manager was watching (cant remember which) and was asked if he wanted to play for Hallam.

Alfie makes great music. Really enjoy it! Thanks for letting us know he does that.

brilliant video, thanks for the upload as always!

Gotta give it to Ellis he's smashed that look

I was at the game saw ellis and left him alone 😂 that outfit looked much better in person than in the video lol

Loved this. Luca is a great player. Played for my club Swallownest last season.

779.898 days = some 2191 years, gotta respect football

Up the Hallam, only a 15 min walk from my house, been up there a few times this season

10:05 the ball just keeps on rolling 🤣 some say it still rolls to this day 🤣🤣

Nice to see ellis repping kings lynn town fc, big up the linnets

I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your videos! I always look forward to your new content, and it's become a little tradition for me to bring some delicious food and enjoy it while watching your latest videos. Your content really adds to the enjoyment of my mealtime. Keep up the fantastic work!

2:50 finally someone who gets it!! Classical music slaps

Apparently there is an older pitch in Chapeltown near Bolton.

Most enjoyable parts of watching away days Their trip to the stadiums

That pitch is probably the reason teams swap ends per half 🤣

Went to Sandygate in March. Fun experience. Didn’t expect the pitch to be on that much of an incline.

gotta rate the effort coming up here for the match the number 6 brandon works at the same pub as me hes proppa sound

genuinely funny stuff... thanks for the upload

I've been watching this channel for 2/3 years now. This is possibly the best video yet (though I was hoping you'd come out with the cummerbund over your jacket). Absolutely amazing content throughout 2023, I hope the figures have reflected this

I’m in crosspool and watch Hallam what a atmosphere

Top vid. Looks like a nice place other than being in Sheffield...

Was meant to play cricket there but it got moved to the teams second ground due to a football match, always wondered what the ground would look like. Will defo go one day and to Sheffield FC

Go on Neo química arena the stadium of Corinthians of Brasil. There it haves the best fans of Brasil

I'll be there next year. My local side Beverley Town just got promoted into the NCEL Premier Division where Hallam currently play.

real talk though Ellis doesn't look half bad in that fit! Like deadass he looks good even

I just discovered your channel and i love it. You should visit cowdenbeath stadium in Scotland. They play in the Lowland. I dare you.

About time you visited the old football ground continuously used by the same football club. York Road, home of Maidenhead United since February 1871.

That suit jacket is wonderful

Go to the wellsley in Great Yarmouth near Norwich it has the oldest football stand in the country

Dude the last ref was clearly smiling at your antics

That slope is outrageous

Would of thought they would level out the pitch, that’s horrendous! That’s a big incline, definitely gives the advantage to the team going down hill 2nd half.

Filmed a video at Sandygate at the start of last season and can say the slope is dramatic as it looks!

o estilo do futebol ingles é muito massa.

Nice one

Sheffield fc played at a pitch called the olive grove I think that is not a football ground now

What's the app you can geolocate nearest football match?

What about going to the world’s oldest ‘temporary’ stand - away end at priestfield? 😂

beer drinking in the stands. great

Francis Bourgeois if he was into football and not trains.

9:57 The brickwork confirms a VERY sloped pitch

Numpty, that’s McCain Stadium Scarborough in your preview picture.

Ellis answered my question when he asked did his outfit make him look like he was on day release because it did have that eccentric look to it

Love how you pronounce concert in your northern. Comes out as cUncert, lol.

Awww you look lush xxx

Absolute RU-vid heritage. Horse and cart (A)

Can you go to bury fc please there’s a game on Tuesday.

you should go watch the oldest football sheffield fc

Bro come to kochi in india..the home of kerala blasters in indian super league 💛

check out midlands football

Why the picture of the old main stand at the now demolished McCain Stadium? It’s certainly not the oldest ground in the world!

Sheffield home of football

Oh how I wish that stadium on the thumbnail still existed 😢

A little sus with that sausage roll mate wink 😉

0:06 Very speicial indeed

Pudil came to Sheffield for Wednesday and never looked back

Bro i started using momento but i'm a Fluminense supporter from Brazil and if you count me there's only 2 supporters registered there ffs 😅 guess i'll just follow random premier league supporters

next you need to come to Sheffield FC

The telegraph was founded in 1855

U should go the Nantwich vs Chester Game on 18/11

The alan parsons project doesn't quite have the same feel as when the 90s Chicago bulls used it...

Derbyshire better score next campaign 😂😂😂😍

Up the wednesday!

Fun fact: Werther's Originals were created in 1909, and only launched in the UK in 1992 (year I was born), so technically calling it candy for old people in the UK, is incorrect. Great video, though. 👍🏻

9:03 Without the Jacket he looks like my Bavarian Grandpa when he was still alive

I really enjoyed this one. The atmosphere and the crowd age range was exceptional for a non league team. A lot of fun for all.

Dressed you up like Allan Partridge lol

If this isn't it, can you visit the UK's ground with the largest gradient?

Alfie looks like the guy that made that song wotsapnin

“Ex Watford” didn’t wanna say Sheffield wednesday did ya 😂

5 meters drop wow, what a slope

Glorly glory Leeds united glory glory Leeds united

Time to go the worlds hottest and coldest pitches too, would be way interesting

what was their walkout song ?

I’m an American and I’m making sausage rolls because of this video also nice outfit but you need a top hat like Churchill 😂

Well it is the oldest stadium in the world plus they did have soccer balls back then for sale but later on things got better

Go to a match in Northern Ireland

Pint of John West’s please.

Think there may be a slight miscalculation on the number of months and days 😂😂😂😂

Calculations on the age was waaaay off with the days 😂😂😂

Nah Ellis pulls off that jacket surprisingly well

fries with gravy wut lol

Sheffield has the oldest football team in the world (Sheffield FC), the oldest football stadium (Hallam FC), and both teams play in the oldest football tournament (the Rules Derby). All recognized by the FA, UEFA, and FIFA with Pele paying tribute to them multiple times. Meanwhile the University of Cambridge has a statue in a Cambridge park claiming they invented Football because obviously it was invented by toffs in top hats not those damn working class ruffians!

Surely head to the worlds most northern based football club, and the worlds most southern based football club

Interested to know why you used The McCain Stadium for the thumbnail?!

Would of been northwich Victoria if they didn’t build houses over it

Ellis, I've made a football stadiums higher lower game and I'd love to see how high you can score it! Do you accept the challenge?

ellis knew he fuckrd up after reading that 2nd oldest sign🤣

“Hallam FC” literally my named after me 🤯

Need more Ed in your videos.

It is 79 000 days old, not 799 000
