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!

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.

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.

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. 👏

@sheffsteel7 3 ай бұрын

The Sheffield FC v Hallam FC is the oldest derby in the world. Also Sheffield had the 1st organised cup competitions with paying customers, the Yourdan Cup and Cromwell Cup before the FA Cup competition started. Check out the "Sheffield the home of Football" KZfaq series which puts in a very strong claim with evidence that Sheffield is the birth place of organised football.

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.

@grahamhobson4091 3 ай бұрын

Sort of true. Isnt the stand where the cricket pitch was? The pavilion would've been at the top of car park leading onto the street.

@kevingould6725 3 ай бұрын

May be a bit of both . The cricket pitch was not too big as the football pitch was used for the cricket out field . The old John street stand was used for big cricket games . The Bramall Lane stand was there during the late 1960s as it was where I used to go there with my grandfather. I only ever went into the John street stand once . On the way to the ground my brother and I was given two top seats in this stand. It was an evening league cup match against Liverpool. We won 1-0 . Evelyn Hughes was playing and said that no team had dominated Liverpool like the Blades did.

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 ? .

Agree Field Mill at Mansfield wasn't even a stadium, it was just a field where they used to play football, like in the local park. Many decades later Mansfield Town then built their stadium on the same site. Also in the late 1800's football was half football with some rugby rules attached, so is that classed as modern football? However in the 1870's there were about 50 organised football clubs playing in the Sheffield area, hence the cup competitions (Yourdan and Cromwell cups) with paying customers, well before the FA cup even started. All the evidence puts a very strong case that modern football started in Sheffield.
