Don't forget your duster when visiting spurs trophy room

A tiny bit of research would have found that arsenal couldn’t develop any further on Highbury, hence the move from a 38,000 seater stadium to 60,000

Arsenal were not allowed to redevelop Highbury, due to it being listed. Also all the house around Highbury - actually owned by Arsenal and rented back at peppercorn rents - are listed, and so could not be knocked down to make ground larger. Arsene Wenger had part in designing Emirates, also Wembley and even Spuds asked his advice when building the N17 Bottling Factory.

There was no chance of developing Highbury unfortunately. The east and west stands were listed buildings and still stand, although theyve been converted to residential use. The North bank and clock end were already about as big as they could be due to surrounding roads and buildings.

You need to consider the difference in years when both stadium were built. Arsenal moved into the Emirates in 2006, hence the 390 Million Pounds price tag while Tottenham moved in by 2019, hence the 1 Billion Pounds price tag. That's a 13 year gap. Prices would have gone up, therefore, If the Emirates had been built during the 2016-2019 period, it would have cost more.

You've been to so many of my local clubs and now you're at my favourite, went here August 12th 2019 and it's still the best day of my life. Great video!

The factory where the royal armament workers of Woolwich is now a Youngs Pub called The Dail Arch as I live around the area. I loved Highbury Stadium so much

The problem with red is it’s the worst colour to suffer from sun fade, cars are the same. Have only been once around 2009 and was a stunning stadium. Noticed in particular the space between seats and rows, not to mention padded seats all round I think. Could have squeezed more in but chose not to. Great decision

I’ve visited Emirates stadium and I have to say it was a great experience, an amazing stadium. I will be visiting London in may and looking forward to know spurs stadium. greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷.

It’s a great stadium 🏟 I loved the tour with Perry.

Superb again mate. Frequent uploads getting me through the week 😅

Watching this video made me remember the first time i did the tour in fact it was my first time in London, and everyone asked me what is the first thing you want to do when you go to London and i said i have to go to the Emirates and they were stunned and i did it and of all the places i have seen in England this is the best place to be

Brilliant video, really enjoyed that and am a new subscriber too. Big Arsenal fan 👍

I'm just so in love with this club, Arsenal FC for life!!!

My club❤️🤍 I love visiting. The area is amazing, the staff are amazing and it’s just a great place to be. COYG!

Your editing is fantastic. Such enjoyable videos. ☝️☝️☝️ 1:16 literally brilliant editing

“Tours are well over £25” proceeds to tell us it’s £27, didn’t realise £2 was well over £25 😂

I have been to Arsenal stadium it is amazing

I've been in the "corporate" tier on four occasions and (in my view) this is easily the best Premiership stadium for comfort and catering plus the transport links are decent. Almost too civilised for football!

Not an Arsenal fan but really enjoyed that, loving your stadium tours👍

I was pulled in by the title ‘This Stadium Needs Improvement’ but unless I missed something, the only improvements needed were the peeling logos and fading chairs? I’d say that’s pretty good! Enjoyed the video, though.

Great editing mate, loved this video ❤️

Emirates one of the best stadiums in the world

first time watching one of your vids, immensely impressed with the editing!

Your smashing the videos Sam he’s on the road again 😁😁

Singaporean Arsenal fan here, found this channel from your visit to the stadium at Our Tampines Hub, home of the Rovers. My last visit to the Arsenal museum and stadium tour was over a decade ago on honeymoon so thanks for doing up this one. Hoping we add a bit more silverware soon to go with the new facade and players we have around the Emirates!

Really enjoying these videos. Great presenting and nice balanced view of each stadium and the tours. I visited the Emirates not long after it opened and was blown away by how good it was. Still think it is better than Wembley in terms of matchday experience, comfort and view. I understand the nostalgia for the old stadiums but most of the new ones are a huge leap in safety and comfort and some like the Emirates are a cut above the bog standard lego kit builds.

Anyone who has done the stadium tour of Benfica's ground will know it's almost identical to the Emirates.

Great tour Sam my friend ❤️👍🏻

Probably the best stadium i've visited in England when I visited about 6 years back. Far better than Anfield which you raved about.

Just found your channel awesome videos love these stadium tour videos

I seen that Arsenal's match day hospitality makes more money then the whole of Highbury per game. So it shows the be financially successful, we had to move.

Another great video 📹 👏 👍

Great video did the tour last year in March with Charlie George been a supporter since 1971.Yes you need to do a Highbury one its very close to the Emirates.

The biggest and most important club in London. This club shall rise again. 🔴⚪

Great content from you, my advice is to include ratings for each stadium you have been to, in terms of history, location, Arts Culture, Accessibility, and Maintenance, etc. At the end of the videos give your pass mark.

amazing edit bro. really enoyed the video

Brilliant tour Sam I really enjoyed that, I think you should consider doing more of these stadium tours. And remember to get a small loan from your bank 😂. Thanks again

Great stadium. I did the tour with Perry Groves about 10 years ago

Enjoyed this

NAHHHH MATE ARSENAL IS THE BEST AND WILL ALWAYS BE THE BEST CLUB IN THE WORLD CMONNNN YOU GOONERSSS

Yes I agree, just like the Tottenham stadium we need some more LED lights running in between the two balconies and all the way around We have a brand new stadium one of a coin and a little bit more lights would surely put us on top

And.. yes the one you know I'd be waiting for. The house that Arisen built! As always well done. Had I had the chance to be there I think I could have sat there just picturing favorite players/ games in my head. One day, someday I'll get that chance or at least that's the dream for this Yankee Gooner it's definitely on the ol bucket list. Thanks again Sam you made my day. Also any plans for an Ireland trip would love to see and learn about the Clubs there as I have very little knowledge about any of them.

Finally, someone that appreciates arsenal

Alright Sam. Good to see you living the dream and taking an interest in the mighty Arse. Cheers. Andy V

Thanks so much for this - im an arsenal fan, traditionally stadiums in London were surrounded by houses....a reason they couldn develop Highbury. They converted it into flats...surprised you never mentioned a former player called Arteta; now our manager

Loved the London-esque music at the start of the vid. Small loan 🤣🤣

Great work!

Love a self guided tour. My first stadium tour was Nou Camp which was self guided and I loved it, as long as you want to take photos etc.

Hey Sam, love the channel only came across it last week. So getting to go through your videos now. just a bit of info you might like seen as your not long back from Ireland. The Emirates stadium is model on the GAA stadium Croke Park in Dublin. It has the same design only smaller capacity. I think you you might have visited Croker when you were in Dublin?

One of the best stadium of the 🌎

9:42 goosebumps everywhere.COYG!!

I’m live 15 minutes away from San Francisco California and the only tour I been to was Real Madrid tour in Bernabéu 2012 which is my favorite club and I was like a little kid looking at cleats and names in the hall of fame. Which I felt amazing seeing Hugo Sanchez name I’m Mexican. But after I finish school I wanna visit London with my brothers we want to feel that vibe of premier league weekend games just one of those life bucket list

I'll accept this content... Right up the Arsenal.

My favourite stadium 😍😍😍

I've delivered to a few football grounds in my HGV and the Emirates was the only one that you drive under the pitch to unload, it's huge down there.

Biggest club in London

Have you ever thought about doing a stadium tour in America with some MLS clubs? Especially some of the newer ones with European designs and links to some soccer clubs in Europe. I think it might be a cool idea. Yup and I call it soccer I’ll never change lol your local Yank here lol!! I really loved seeing when you were at Fulham. Tons of American legends have played at Fulham. Dempsey, McBride, Bocanegra.

At The Emirates video it was suggested Arsenal should have developed Highbury. Expansion of Highbury wasn't allowed by the local authority and East and West stands were listed buildings. Given the proximity, The Emirates was a major boon to the club instead.

I was blown away with the Emirates

Good thing they are renovating over the summer 😌😌🤝

The gap in interest the Arsenal owner (Stan Kroenke) shows Arsenal is typified in the level of investment KSE has put in The Emirates (zero) and then compare that to the $5BN+ he has personally invested in the world's most expensive stadium in Los Angeles (SoFi Stadium and its state of the art 360 degree scoreboard) for his beloved LA Rams! SMH

Very good video, well done

Needs a clean, a few things replaced and a lick of paint, but what a lovely stadium.

i visted here in october 2019 it was such a treat and i could smell the money.

Quality quality content

Really I heard from my cousin he went there once and he said it a world class venue and best ground he ever went to

I went to arsenal on Friday before I jumped on the train from the fcas. Mint ground

Love the video

does the arsenal stadium post a class picture of where we could find Jeremy Lynch in?

The club bought up a number of houses at the South Bank end of rhe ground, but realised they could only increase the capacity by a few thousand. I loved the old ground, but the club had to move to meet demand. At least they didn't go through with trying to share the new Wembley stadium.

We were there for a tour Saturday morning last year. Thought it was superb.

Amazing bro. Hopefully go over from Ireland soon and watch a game

That train transition 🥶

Thanks for another great video Sam.

I was fortunate enough to see Arsenal play at Highbury during the stadium's final season; The view from my seat wasn't great, which was true for many seats in the stadium due to the steep sloping of the roof and upper tier. Aesthetically and in terms of amenities (or lack thereof), it felt like any other old school stadium in the country. There's so much history wrapped up in Highbury but the club was in dire need of something bigger and more modern and redeveloping the existing stadium simply wasn't an option. The Emirates is a world class stadium and, now that it's approaching 20 years old, I appreciate that it feels more lived-in and "Arsenalised" than it did before. During the barren years between Arsenal moving to the Emirates and the 2014 FA Cup final ending the trophy drought, the Emirates definitely felt a bit soulless, like it could have belonged to any club (Benfica maybe?). The Emirates is also Arsene Wenger's legacy. The impetus to build it wouldn't have existed without his taking Arsenal to new heights on the pitch and all the work he did off it. It's been overshadowed a bit now by the new Wembley and the Spurs toilet bowl and is probably in need of some renovations but it's still undoubtedly one of the best stadiums in the country.

Not a couple of league titles, three at Huddersfield, in a row and I think that was repeated at Arsenal as well.

You need to go on a Legend Tour around the stadium. Instead of worrying about the cost, view it as an experience. You also get to access more areas. I'm guessing you didn't make it to where they show off the gold Premiership trophy otherwise I'm sure that would've mad the cut?!?

When comparing the price of Arsenal stadium to the price of Tottenham you need to allow for inflation!

Briliant stadium. The negatives are just cosmetic.

the real pride of London cuz they have 13 premier league titles much more titles compared to other London teams

Bro you can just tap your contactless card (or Apple Watch) to use the tube - it figured out the right amount to charge you. No ticket required

We also did Arsenal and Chelsea tours successive days. Ours was self guided at Arsenal. Chelsea’s was guided

If u are visiting Chelsea fulham fc is up the road aswell and qpr only teams to have 3 clubs in the same borough i would love to take u around let's make it happen bro

Love to do the other London clubs

How can you compare the price of the Arsenal Stadium when it was built all those years ago to a Tottenham ground that has just been built?!?!

Great video!! I love the Emirates, it's a beautiful stadium. 😊🔴⚪

it just needs modernization yeah i agree its not old at just 16 years old however replacing the seating and a fresh paintjob would be a perfect start.

It's been improved recently

Nice video, hopefully you can have a camera upgrade for yourself so you can have better video quality, casue that was my only complaints, but nice video, arsenal fan here

Nothing wrong with our Beautiful stadium 🏟

Holloway Road tube is closed before games on matchdays, use arsenal, Finsbury Park or highbury and Islington stations

Can you do Highfield Road in Coventry then go to CBS Arena to compare please?

if you make a stadium tour , make the legend tour,chance to meet former player ,mine was Charlie George doing the tour and we even met Bob Wilson and Ray Parlour who werent part of it but just turn up

“That just goes to show the difference between the two grounds” or price inflation in the last 16 years

hello mate, well done for the video, may I use some of your b roll please?

Even #Mo #Salah is doing his running round the stadium @ 15:57 !

Do a champions league match review bro

27 pounds a stadium tour, you would get a 3 course meal in Glasgow for that Sam 😂🤣

Nice video kevin magnesiun
