7 Largest Stadiums below the Championship

You forgot "Plovdiv Stadium" in Bulgaria. It used to be the largest stadium in the country with around 55 000 capacity, hosting matches of the local team Botev against Barcelona and Bayern, as well as a huge Metallica concert, but has been in disrepair since the 1990s due to numerous reasons.

My Grandad trained with Third Lanark as a teenager & played games at youth level but his Dad passed away so he had to give up on playing football to go and support the family. We never got the chance to take him back to Cathkin Park before he passed but I’ve been myself and it’s really emotional imagining the thousands in the terraces.

Wageningse Berg in Wageningen, the Netherlands. Opened it's doors in 1899, but the first team playing in it was WVV Wageningen in 1911. WVV played in the 2nd tier of Dutch football after the introduction of it in 1956. It remained their ground up until 1978, when WVV's first team became FC Wageningen. They played Eredivisie football for 2 seasons, both of which they finished bottom of the league. They do hold the record for PSV's biggest ever home defeat, smashing them 6-1. FC Wageningen went bankrupt in 1992 after both the local authorities and the Dutch FA refused to cooperate with their plans. At that time Wageningen was a comfortable mid-table team in the 2nd tier. It's not allowed to tear the stadium apart, because it was build on a protected nature reserve. Now and then the University of Wageningen uses the ground to welcome new student, so I guess it's not completely abandoned, however they do nothing to stop the ground from rotting away.

As a kid I remember going with my friends to play football at the Fallowfield Stadium the venue of the 1893 FA Cup final, I think it was only finally knocked down the the mid 1990s by then it was owned by The University of Manchester

Also, can we do seven best players who are out of their depth? I mean like, players who are in great form playing above their level

Where's Doel? Doel is a small town in the city of Beveren. They used to have a small club named FC Scheldezonen Doel. Doel is located close to the port of Antwerp (2nd biggest port of Europe). In 1998 the Port of Antwerp wanted to expand so all the people who lived in the town would get to sell their house to the state for the price where they bought it for. Nearly everybody moved out of the town, except for a few people. To this day 18 people still live in Doel. It's one of the worst places to live in Belgium because a few miles from the town is a nuclear power plant named after the ghost town. In 2016 "New Saeftinghe FC" a club of 22 friends were forced to leave their field.

The Stadion Za Lužánkami’s story is interesting, to host a game as recent as 2015 and look decent for that after the state it was in! Such a shame it was neglected again after the spectacular

7 players who played on with medical conditions (like saúl and Edgar davids)

In Hungary there is a big abandoned stadium in town name Akasztó and the name of the stadium is Stadler stadium.

The Ewood Bridge (Stand Athletic FC) ground is a 5-10 minute walk from my house.

Please do more stadium related videos, as I find them fascinating to watch :)

Never related to this channel as much as I do now, absolutely love these stadium videos

"50,000 thousand people used to live in this city. Now it's a ghost town"

just subscribed. great ideas for videos thanks for doing these.

What about the Olympic Monumental Stadium in Porto Alegre, Brazil? I heard that ghosts are haunting there.

Loved the vid!

Love your vids

Great channel

You wrote a good book

I went to stand athletic last year to take some pics. Nice little explore the ground even has a bus stop and the remains of platform the Ewood Bridge and Edenfield railway station on the other side. There is (was) another abandoned ground about half an hour away at Rossendale fc's Dark lane

I've been subbed a once early 2017 It's been a journey bros.

Number 1 is from my hometown. I rember as a kid, that 40 000+ fans on league games. It is very sad story and even if the movement between football fans to return back to this stadium is very strong the chances are almost none. Also the once quite good club Zbrojovka that was playing there is now playing only second division.

7 Smallest Ever Top Flight Stadiums

Have a look at Casement Park in Belfast. It's a Gaelic football stadium, but has been left to rot over the last 10 years.

Ngl I love ground hopping (visited Blyth Spartans recently which I really liked), and am a sucker for abandoned videos

7 haunted football stadiums in the world

There's also a Stadium in the netherlands that is technically abandoned, called "De Wageningse Berg" which was home to FC Wageningen, a former Eredivisie team, they last played in 1992. Their amateur branch is still active as WVV Wageningen, where I played for 18 years.

Stadion za luzankami is actually being used. The youth teams of Zbrojovka Brno play there and just 2 weeks ago the ground hosted a match with the zbrojovka Brno legends.

7 stadiums that sell more tickets than the ethiad

One interesting of an abandoned stadium is a Portuguese club called Salgueiros. They used to be a big club in Portugal many decades ago, and had since dropped off. A couple of years ago when they were doing the subway system in the city of Porto, they wanted it to go right under the stadium but the club couldn’t continue playing in that ground if that were the case. The city bought their ground and built the metro and there is even a stop with the name of the club exactly where the stadium is. Some stands were taking down, but it’s still there. The interesting part is that the new ground was never built because the owners ran away with the money. The club even stopped existing for a bit. They’re back now playing on loaned grounds and focus mainly on their academies

There are several big ones in Brazil. Pinheirao in coritiba, Olimpico in porto alegre,

I've visited Ewood Bridge, it's a strange place, but worth a little mooch if your near

Tivoli - Aachen. It is besides the new Tivoli but there is an residential area now. The intersting thing about it is that the stairs that lead to the south stand is still walkable and the south stand is still noticeable. The old Tivoli was known as the stadium with the best atmosphere in germany. just 22.000 capacity but everyone who had the play there knows that this Stadium was actually a hell for away teams. If you want proof look for the video Aachen - Bayern DFB Pokal 2006/07 ... Bayern never won a cup game in the old Tivoli. It is quite impressive.

“50,000 people used to live here. Now it’s a ghost town”

Worst nuclear accident in 1986? Tohoku 2011 wants to shake things up...which makes me wonder if there's any football stadiums near the Fukushima plant, now I think about it. Everyone remembers the Ferris wheel, but I genuinely had no idea Pripyat even had a stadium. Or it was formed in 1970

bro please make a video on LUIS FABIANO he WAS SO UNDERATED!!! Not that many players in the world could do what he did in that game back then and still he never made it to a huge european force. It's a shame because now it is to late .

top 7 closest stadium in europe, from the same division, that are not in the same city.

This is an ok channel!

7 best attacking duos right now

The Donbass Area in Donetsk, Ukraine has not be used since 2014. Due to the conflict/war/invasion in the area (use your team of choice).

I was not expecting my hometown stadium - Tiger Stadium in Detroit - to show up at 1:28. It was a soccer stadium in the 1960s, though, and it was abandoned for many years, but it has now been demolished.

I've been to cathcan park as my brother lives in Glasgow

You showed the Mane Garrincha in Brazil but I'm Brazilian and I know that, that stadium was not abandoned, it is still used for neutral beginning round Cup Games, and teams that sell there home advantage, play there this season there have been 6 or 7 league games there.

I love HITC sevens

The channel has reached the 200 000

I was hoping to see 2 grounds in this video, Cathkin Park was included but I think Bradford Park Avenues old Park Avenue Ground should have been included over Ewood, they were a top flight (Division One) side when they played there and the main stand is back to back with what was at the time a county standard cricket ground that hosted Yorkshire games.

Subbed at 198k. GL

this video's kind of sad...still good... but sad

Czechia, world leader in abandoned stadiums

Is the Donbass Arena still classed as abandoned? Since Shaktar Donesk havent played there since 2014 due to the conflict

The longest intro ever in a video.

Wow! 😯😯

Riverside stadium , northern Ireland. Its abandoned. Flooding and the discovery of Japanese knot weed means institute couldn't move back in

Anyone else who is surprised that Donbass Arena is not on the list?

7 footballer you may have forgot 🙁

Fascinating to you maybe !!!

The Empire Stadium in Malta could of been on this list.

Mill Moore? Probably spelt it wrong but it’s the old Rotherham ground. It’s still there! It could be on the list but I got excited straight away lol. I’m a blade but it’s the next town to me

Millmoor, Rotherham Uniteds old ground. Land is owned by former Rotherham Chairman and when he sold the club would not allow them to use the ground so they had to build a new stadium, a big chunk of which funded by the local council, the new one holds only slightly more than the previous and is about half a mile from the old one anyway but Millmoor still stands slowly rotting away

Abandoned football stadiums without the RICOH ARENA???

There is another famous abandoned stadium in Switzerland. The Hardturm Stadion in Zurich, home of GC Zurich.

Stadio Sant'Elia, Cagliari, World Cup 1990, abandoned 2017.

You misspelled stadium at the beginning of the video

in the picture at 8:36 I'm sure the red thing is a bin but.....it looks a lot like the worlds most dedicated posty is doing his rounds.

Millmoor in Rotherham is Abandoned and it seems weird as it’s just been left To Rot right across the road pretty much from their new home

Just about EVERY Chinese city has an "abandoned" (ie. Unused) stadium. Almost every Chinese city has a large enough population to justify a stadium. But VERY few have a football team good enough to get people to want to pay money to watch it.

Riverside in derry ?

7 stadiums that is bigger than its support base

I find fascinating, how big inluence had Za Lužánkami stadium on the Brno fans. There was always big crowd regardless on importance of the game, but ever since relocation, the attendance is rather laughable.

Didn't include Leyton FC in Walthamstow! Used as a carpark for a curry house now, all they did was smash through the turnstiles and let cars park on the pitch!

After the stadium opened it hosted the 2012 Miss World Pageant won by the Chinese contestant. Quelle surprise!

"Nuclear"...
