TOP 10 Most Drastic Non League Stadium Upgrades 

It's good to see how the small non League pitches have turned into stadiums. In my opinion, afc fylde have an amazing stadium with the sports bar etc. I don't know what the point was in making that stand at BPA it is the same size as the goal. The design for kidderminsters new ground looks good as I saw on BBC sport. I would love to see alfreton build a couple of big stands behind each goal as well.

Went AFC Fylde yesterday I was really impressed . Great location from train station and motorway. Fantastic sports bar.

Great video! All of these are very impressive in their own unique ways (even BPA!). At Guiseley we've had alot of redevelopment too. Larger terraces, hospitality areas and a new club shop are especially noteworthy!

Loved this! Do some more!

New subscriber from York Pennsylvania Great channel with awesome content! Cheers from the USA

Nice video especially as there are 4 sides from my county - Kent - in it. However, I'd put forward my own club as having made as similarly a drastic upgrade even if on a smaller scale. Sheppey United's ground, Holm Park, was an unused, poorly maintained Sunday League ground of several decades (I remember watching Sunday League on it in the 1970s) until 2012. Since 2013 it has had improvements made to it every single season including covered stands on 3 sides (one of which is all seater), the clubhouse upgraded twice so that it now has multiple TVs and air conditioning in the bar. The changing rooms are a wonder to see - match officials can't believe how large their room is when they see it. A supporters bar, tea bar, floodlights, fencing on all 4 sides and player tunnel have all been added. The most drastic improvement has been taking an overgrown Sunday League pitch and turning it into one of the best grass pitches anywhere in the country. The pitch is so good that it's been highly commended by the FA and has never had a match postponed for any reason. Whether it's snow, torrential rain or whatever the club have a 100% non postponement record and even the nearest league side, Gillingham couldn't believe how good it was. Some visiting fans think it's 3G it's that good. All this for a club that were playing at the 12th level of English football at the start of the decade and are still only at the 9th level now. The club even videos it's home games now and puts them up on RU-vid so you can see video of the ground if you check here:- ru-vid.com The club has plans on improving the ground to level 7 (Bostik Premier) in place and interim plans on achieving National League standard too. All this without any investment from local authorities. Hope you do an updated video. Hope my club gets in somehow!! Sheppey Red

Really interesting vid - nice fez !

Nice one for including Bromley.

Great content. Love it 👍

Great content mate, keep it up!

Ebbsfleet is a bit weird. But the owner's plan was too make the club self sufficient. It is going to be a travel lodge. The new stand is corporate stuff and commercial offices.

Another great video and it is good to see that some non league teams are getting money spent on the grounds which is all the better for their supporters and potentially new supporters coming in. Good luck to all these teams in the future and let us all not forget the teams that are struggling to make ends meet either. I hope they all can survive as any of these clubs could produce future players that could make it to the Premiership and our national team, grass roots football is so important to our local communities.

Great Video Luke!

First, I would like to thank you for this fabulous channel and all the research work you have obviously put into it... I thought Love and Passione had left Football until, by chance, I stumbled onto this great channel. Thank you so much. AFC Fylde is obviously going places, let us hope that on this great journey which they have begun the club doesn't lose its sole like so many have.

Good video congrats on 2k subscribers

Great video and wow they all where good

Good video, thank you. Fylde looks impressive.

Great vid, shows that non league isn't just a park with ropes around the edge! I know this is purely opinionated, but both Billericay Town and Aveley has major upgrades over the summer. My club Billericay rebuilt all four sides of the ground and installed a brand new clubhouse, media suite, boardroom and other facilities around the ground. It used to be an average Isthmian Premier ground but is now good enough to reach the National League without any more upgrades. Aveley also had a completely new ground built, which I haven't yet visited myself but Parkside looks a ton better than Millfield, which was literally falling apart. Finally, don't know about you, but don't think much of Hungerford's ground at all. Visited twice this season in both FA Cup and FA Trophy. A league above Billericay and nowhere near as developed or impressive. Just my opinion. Great videos though keep it up!

great video mate

Great video

2k 👊👊 congrats

I love it this is so intresting

Would have had Billericay in that top ten myself but good vid man 👍🏻

Hi Luke brilliant video. What do you think the outcome of kiddi v Stockport will be when we first play each other.

Good video mate

Congrats on 2k subs

2:25 ... "does seem like a bit of a strange plan that, to have a hotel that sort of overlooking the pitch" Carrow Road.

Blackwell Meadows has some great potential with regards to extra terracing. The only problem is that there is a main water pipe running diagonally through one half of the pitch, meaning some parts of the ground cannot be built on.

I went to Salford for a pre season friendly and didn’t like the shipping container bars and food kiosks. I think the changing rooms and shipping containers too. Toilets were a bit horrible as well.

The dog n duck just painted their goal posts, and my mum does pie n peas!!

Good video. I have to say #'s 2 & 6 are the best upgrades.

can you do a piece on Sutton United. There's a player Tom Bolarinwa who had an incredible journey playing in the Thai Prem

Sad what happened with Darlington then .

Farnborough Town FC has a pretty impressive stadium as well for a non league club

My dad used to live in the flats opposite Ebbsfleet United, before moving, and the upgrade looks very nice. And they're only 1 league off League 2, so it's not like it's a crazy upgrade. Edit: and now he lives down the road from Maidstone United, but that's much harder to tell what's going on because it's hidden behind trees from the main road. You can only usually see the floodlights

How exciting.yaawn.

Nice video, will catch up with your others, New sub for ya 😉

Good video

Love the wood at dover

I went to Horsfall stadium and I saw the new stand and I thought what is that but that is BPA for you. 😂. Went to Fylde's new ground. Looks way better than their old ground.

Good vid mate

Nice hat at the start of the video

Have been to Salfords ground and impressed with the new facilities. Such a far cry on how it used to look. Decrepit but now looks great.

In 1993 when Halifax Town first entered non-league football, The Shay was one awful ground. Look at it now, such a difference, a great ground which can still be improved.

Altrincham spent 2 mil on a massive bar

ARe you wearing a little Fez at the beginning of the video?

Missed out Aveley FC which is highly impressive for the level they’re at

An older stadium would be the upgrade that salisbury fc made going from Victoria Park to the ray mac just out side the town to old sarum

AFC Fylde biggest improvements the owner loves Blackpool fc ,David haythorwaite and tried to buy the club of the oyscums but they wouldn't have it sadly so he built this place and backs the Fylde club he's done amazing from just a farmers field not long ago a great football man and his company's called tangerine .

when Harriers were against fyled i was like this is awsome but we lost 4-2 on november 4 the day after my birthday and i go for fyled

Get to South Shields next , they are going LARGE!

Im an Altrincham fan and i think even though Moss Lane has an epic atmosphere on a matchday the stands are very tired and it needs an upgrade. Nothing flashy but maybe some new terraces as the current west terrace where the ultras go needs to be rebuilt to be less of a toilet

Bradford Park Avenue stand hilarious 🧐 it's about the width of the goal 🤣🤣🤣

Poole also missed out on the play-offs with their ground grading issues.

What about Scarborough ?

Whitchurch alport has a new redeveloped ground good for 10th tier football

what about slough ?

#2 was the best

What about slough town new stadium

Boreham Wood's new West Stand, opened in July 2014, is impressive. Shame we can never fill it.
