The Crystal Palace was a massive cast iron and glass structure, built to house the Great Exhibition at a Hyde Park in 1851. In 1854 it was taken down and rebuilt near Sydenham in South London. The area subsequently became known as Crystal Palace. Unfortunately, the building was destroyed by fire in 1936.

And when finished, the new Everton stadium will be the nicest in the Championship.

Actually the Stadium (Στάδιον) was a measurement of length in ancient Greece. It was equal to 100 Fathoms or 184.87 meters. In ancient Greek athletics there was a running race event of a distance equal to one Stadium. From this running race event, the fields that athletes competed were called stadiums, the term used to this day.

The beams that are so prominent at some grounds, especially at Old Trafford, are called Cantilevers. They support the roof over the seating and do away with support pillars that would have blocked some fans view of the games. In most northerly countries, the roofing on stadia protects from the rain and other elements and from the early and late summer sun (football's off-season tends to be mid/late May to mid August). In the much hotter southern climates they tend to be there to guard mainly from the sun. Interesting to hear you say you don't see such structures at US arenas...do you lot just have to put up with the rain and hot sun?

The roofs are for shading, and shielding from rain, snow and wind. It is really not pleasant to sit without that roof in most of Europe.

Top 4 tiers are Premier league Championship League 1 League 2 Usually top 3 or 4 teams get promoted to the next from each league at the end of a season and same with bottom 3 or 4 teams get relegated from each league

The trusses over the rooves are to hold the rooves up so you don't need support pillars. The rooves themselves are indeed to proved shelter from rain and the Sun on a hot day and are also deliberately designed to focus sound from the crowd onto the Football pitch. BTW the Emirates has started rocking this season, Arsenal has been a bit quiet ever since Highbury went all seater but the Gooners have woken up a bit this season and are getting behind the team.

Screens at Spurs are too small? Aren't they the biggest in Europe?

You asked about the Holte End at Aston Villa. When the grounds started to be developed, many decades ago, they were split up into separate sections, particularly the ends - behind the goals - and the sides. It was usually a bit more expensive to watch from the sides and in most grounds the only seating was in those areas. The rest of the grounds were standing only. So the different parts of the grounds were given their own names. Sometimes they were just boring like West Terrace or Main Stand, but often they had special names like the Holte End at Villa, the Stretford End at Man Utd or the Spion Kop at Liverpool. Many of these areas became where the clubs' most fervent fans congregated and the names became associated with the fans themselves. So the names have been retained, even though grounds have been completely rebuilt.

Asto villa FC.The "Holte End" stand of Villa Park, the stadium of Aston Villa Football Club, sits on land originally part of the Aston Hall gardens and is named after Sir Thomas Holte, 1st Baronet was an English landowner, responsible for building Aston Hall, in the parish of Aston in Warwickshire. The "Holte End" Stadiums are in the club colours.

You should choose Spurs (Tottenham Hotspur) as you team to support - they are playing in the Champions League this season, have the best training centre in the world, a world-class manager (Antonio Conte) and the best strike trio (the front three players) in the Premiership.

You're right about Chelsea. Stamford Bridge has been renovated so much to the point of it almost being unrecognisable today, but still maintains its original charm. The atmosphere in the ground has probably improved because the stands are much closer to the ground today than they used to be. It's the closeness of the stands to the ground ( and NOT the size and amount of people) that is the main contributing factor to old English stadiums' famous atmospheres. Crystal Palace's Selhurst Park, despite being quite small, produces one of the best atmospheres that can never be reproduced in any modern stadium which also has a lot to do with their passionate fans. Liverpool's Anfield, like Chelsea's, despite being renovated on all 4 sides still feels vintage and produces arguably one of the greatest atmospheres in the world. I prefer older grounds so St James Park, Elland Road , Villa Park, Craven Cottage, Goodison Park are all magical grounds.

English men's football is organised in a pyramid structure of 20 tiers. The top tier is the English Premier League consisting of 20 teams. The next three tiers are the divisions of the Football League, consisting of 72 clubs (24 clubs in each division). Tiers five to eleven are the rather confusingly named Non-League Football divisions, consisting of 98 divisions and 1745 clubs. The bottom nine tiers are the so-called grassroots football, consisting of approx. 1100 divisions and 18500 clubs. When most people talk about football, they are, most often, referring to the top four tiers. The annual FA Cup knockout competition usually attracts entries from about 40% of the clubs in the top 11 tiers.

What SoGal might not know for a lot of the Football Grounds the approaches are down roads of Terraced Houses (see DrainUnblockers channel for a lot of their work around Anfield) , See Craven Cottage for Fulham (though the houses are a little bigger than the Anfield Ones). Tottenham's Ground just rises as you walk down the High Street (White Hart Lane itself being the road opposite) , with a mix of shops - and the police station - nearby. Few, but more as they are built larger , are in dedicated lots with masses of parking (Leeds Utd being maybe an exception, but that seems to apply to most of Leeds anyway over the years with the White Rose Shopping Centre at the next motorway junction. I think Chelsea at Stamford Bridge is the most accesible with two train stations nearby, with the Kings Road outside for the ready made fans battle ground - my last experience of a number 14 bus from Putney was seeing Chelsea vs Celtic vs The Mounted Division of the London Police.

Not a football fan, but when I was working we had a tour of the Wolves stadium (2nd from the end) it's not so yellow as the Norwich canary yellow, it's more of a gold colour, and with the black looks really cool. Crystal Palace was built to house the great exhibition of 1851. An event thought up by Prince Albert to showcase British industry. It was huge, glass and cast iron, and erected in Hyde Park. Like a giant greenhouse, and designed by a fellow called Joseph Paxton. Later it was taken down and re-erected in south London it caught fire and burned down in the 1930s. ( don't know how, being cast iron and glass. Maybe it had wooden floors) anyway it gave it's name to that area of London, and the football team. Over here we have just finished the women's Euro competition. It was very exciting. England won eventually. I was wondering if you might have picked up on it.

Alas my beloved Sheffield United "The Blades" got relegated from the Premier in 2021 but our stadium, Bramall Lane, has massive history. The first ever Premier League goal was scored by Brian Deane for Sheffield United, at Bramall Lane after just 4 minutes and 29 seconds of the inaugural season!! The world’s first football cup final was held there in 1867 when Hallam FC beat Norfolk to win the Youdan Cup. This was the site of the world’s first floodlit football game in 1878. Bramall Lane is the first place to use a fixed crossbar. There was the first England v Scotland international game played outside of London or Glasgow in 1883, and in 1889 Sheffield hosted its first FA Cup semi-final between Preston North End and West Bromwich Albion. Barnsley played West Bromwich Albion in the FA Cup Final in 1912, a match Barnsley won 1-0. England played Australia in a Cricket “Ashes” test match in 1902, making us the only ground in the world to host a full international football match, an Ashes Test match and an FA Cup final. I know you like history, so look up some more facts about beautiful downtown Bramall Lane. If you want to be a “glory hunter” or “plastic fan” follow one of the big 6, if you want the emotional roller-coaster of a real fan follow a Championship, or lower team, I suggest the historical, mighty red and white wizards, Sheffield “The Blades” United.

The reason you see those braces on European stadiums is bc they build or renovate them in sections and not whole.

Football in England is a winter sport. While our winters are not as severe as some parts of the northern US and Canada, they're still quite cold, often windy and very wet. Historically, going back to when football first organised in Britain, people would have stood out in the open in all weather to watch. This still happen at lower levels of the game, but gradually, as the sport developed and stadiums grew, the designers tried to lessen the impact of the weather on supporters by covering stands. In Spain, Italy and other southern European nations, it's not unusual to see stadiums (or stadia if you prefer) without covered stands. Interestingly, stadiums in the former Soviet Union also often have uncovered stands. The classic Communist design is a large bowl without covered stands, and a field surrounded by a running track. I'm not sure why this is, as we all know what winter can be like in Russia!

The stands (basically each side of the stadium and the seats in that side) are mostly named. They are usually named after legendary players or managers of that club (Revie stand and Sir Alex Ferguson stand are examples). They can also be named after areas or roads or landmarks (shed end and stretford end).

In uk football stadia have named ends such as at Villa Park you have the holte end named after the holte pub near the end of the stadium. On the sides the stands are also named such as trinity stand. Several stands are named after famous players or team managers or owners.

'This yellow' is 'old gold' the Wolves' colours. Adopted in 1891 it has little to do with the 1970's.

look up Stamford Bridge in 1992 and earlier. You'll see that the stadium has changed and grown over time and that it hasn't looked like it does today since the beginning. Clubs have a strong connection to their home and how big some of these stadiums are is a reflection on how successful the clubs have been over time. They add capacity and stands organically.

As the video hardly spent any time talking about Southampton’s ground I thought i’de add a bit of information. Southampton as a club originally was founded in 1885 as St. Mary's Church of England Young Men's Association. Due to the fact it was created as a football club for the church. In the short years later the name changed too Southampton and they played their football at the stadium the Dell. Cue over 115 years later, Southampton decided to make the move to a modern stadium befitting a club in the top flight of English football. (Ignoring the fact that partly the debt incurred from building the stadium almost killed the club) The stadium itself was named in honour of the church where the club was founded, Saint Mary’s which is located less than 350m from the present day stadium. The nickname for Southampton is the Saints which is a homage to the church of Saint Mary’s and that the founding players were made up of the church goers.

Stand is just the name for part of the stadium Revie is named for Don Revie who won two titles 1969 and 1974 as manager (Coach) of Leeds

Went to Crystal Palace ground in the early 60s with my dad. Never again! I remember freezing and not being able to see anything. No seats in those days either. One miserable 8 year old by the end of the day. Been to Chelsea for an NHS conference. Disappointed no training going on that day. Been to Amex (Brighton & Hove Albion) several times, but only to drop my son off there, as he works for the club.

The big4 was a thing of late 90s to late 2000s when Arsenal and Manchester United were one of the most fierce rivalry then big money came to Chelsea from Russia making them a power and Liverpool being the big club they are but since then Manchester City got oil money and they rose and Tottenham got better in early 2010s making it a big 6 which is Manchester United...Liverpool...Arsenal..Chelsea ..Man city and Tottenham

Newcastle is going to be one of the places to be this season. Been a few years since I was last there but things are on the up at last. 👍👌😁

You lads have been living in hope for decades, Dreedle face. Most of the talent playing in t'prem now are from the "southlands", europe/s/America. Do they want to play on Tyneside in bleeding Jan/feb ? Na. Alaw, mi colours. ( aye, i've stood in the Gallowgate in winter, 72 ish. Brrrrrr, think we got beat an'all.)

As a general point on pronunciation, I'd say you have every reason not to fret about it. There are some basic, culture-level divides similar to 'spelling-rules' that inevitably mean demonstrating what sort of English-speaker you are. 'Premier' is one of them to the extent that most British spoken English tries to make it clearly distinct from 'Premiere'... 'Premier' means 'best' and is two-syllables ('Preem-yur'), but 'Premiere' (with the French-spelling) means 'first' and gets three ('Prem-ee-yur'). Beyond that, it's obvious that accents also get involved. British RP will give both three syllables, but weight them differently ('Prem-EE-ah' vs 'PREM-ee-air'). Effectively, not only is there no 'right' choice, but the choice you make will always say something about you to any native-English speaker... especially if they're British. For example, saying that 'Premier' is pronounced as 'Prem-yur' marks me out as a Northerner, in contrast to my suggesting the Southern English-English 'Prem-yah' or 'Prem-yar' , 😏

The 'top tiers' of English Football are the 4 national leagues that engage in promotion/relegation between them. Previously there was the First, Second, Third and Fourth 'Divisions' of professional teams all directly run by the English FA... the Premier League was basically formed by the First Division to negotiate TV rights etc separately, with the lower three becoming the Championship Leagues 1, 2 and 3. I'd say that the one thing that's important to grasp as different compared to say, the NFL in the USA is that there's 'churn' and so you can't really 'buy a Premier League team', you only buy a team that's in the Premier League and if you screw-up with its manager/players your team can be relegated... all the way down to Championship 3, and potentially lower. Conversely, if you're a patient billionaire you can buy one of the little clubs (most of which have also been around for 120+ years, similarly being a local town/city team and possibly also overshadowed like Man City was by Man United, or Everton by Liverpool, but to a much greater extent) and then work your way to the top... a Championship 3 team could win and be in Championship 2 next year, and rinse and repeat twice and they're Premier League, with a chance for the EUFA club competitions. FWIW I'd say that the FA Cup is the sort of competition that helps keeps a sport 'healthy'... using simple 'knockout' rules so even a 'non-league' semi-pro/amateur qualifier can play against a Premier League club if its luck/skill holds enough... and if they win that match, they win (no matter if it was the A, B or C team sent out against them). I think that US sports-fans would probably really appreciate and enjoy something similar.

Last year for the first time a former premier league club was relegated out of the football league entirely. Unfortunately it was the team I support - Oldham Athletic. They got back into the old 1st division after 68 years the year before it became the Premier League, stayed a few years then started to decline. They were said to have the worst stadium in the premier league, and the coldest in the entire league. It was nick-named Ice Station Zebra.

Brentford is by far the best stadium to work at - it's designed for the TV crews unlike all of the others, so the TV trucks park up just underneath the players' tunnel and there's easy access everywhere.

The trusses hold the roof up so you don't need pillars which would restrict the view. Traditional "boxy" football stadiums in the UK have stands which were built or upgraded separately over the years (perhaps also filling in corners later) - you don't see the "bowl" style often like in America so every stand has to carry the weight of its roof. Its also common for teams to upgrade just 1 or two stands at a time Also a lot of stadiums were designed by the architect Archibald Leitch and he favoured that simple industrial working class look.

AFCB are lucky to be allowed to keep playing there, because of safety laws surrounding stadia they need to meet certain criteria, and if i remember rightly that capacity is barely above the absolute minimum allowed.

Watford went down to the Championship last year their nickname is The Hornets because of their colour scheme, Black and Yellow. Watford Football Club is an English professional football club based in Watford, Hertfordshire. They play in the EFL Championship, the second tier of English Football League, EFL. The 1st division and the 2nd division make up the 4 tiers of the 92 team major teams structure, after that it gets complicated. The other English and Welsh teams can over time be promoted all the way up to the Premiership. Scotland has their own Premier League and other divisions similar to England football structure. Celtic and Rangers both based in Glasgow are the elite teams with the most money. Scottish teams cannot play in the English set up as is the case for Northern Ireland. Like a bus in the UK you wait for 1 bus and 3 come along at the same time. This post 1/3

The frame things you speak of are usually an engineering feat called cantilever - it means you don't need pillar supports as it uses physics to keep roofs up.

An interesting look at stadiums or stadia in the UK. You'll notice of course so many limitations imposed on the design. Many stadiums were built over 100 years ago in urban residential areas which itself imposes physical limits on ground dimensions where you've got housing or railway lines limiting expansion. Building a stadium outside of town is just typically not done that often as football is often seen bringing the community together so moving the stadium outside of town is going against this ideology.

The spurs ground is absolutely amazing.

People of the USA often don't speak correct English, but people in many countries across the world, who have adopted English, also speak their own version. It really does not matter. Speaking of which, the presenter sounds as though he is either Aussi or Kiwi. The Crystal Palace, a cast iron and glass building was built in Hyde Park in 1851, by Joseph Paxton, for the Great Exhibition. It was moved in 1854, to the area now named after it. It burned down in 1936.

From a non Englishman, who pronounced things still mostly the way they do, try: prem- year (saying the second part write quickly). The 4 tiers represent the 4top leagues of the 10 tier system, they are the pro leagues, getting tv exposure sponsorship etc, the pl is the top of those. & if the team does really well or poorly, you move up or down that system for the next season. With the excl of arsenal, named because they were formed by workers if an armaments factory, every clubs name is of the city, suburb, district etc they are located in (there are some that might have changed if they have moved their stadium, because they still keep the name).

This guy also does a video about MLS (Major League Soccer) stadia. You’ll see that the best soccer specific stadia in the US do have covered stands.

It is normally 'The Big Six': Man U, Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and Spurs. Top 4 tiers are : PL plus Championship, 1st and 2nd divisions run by the EFL. Below that it becomes 'non-league'. The Holte end is named after Sir Thomas Holte - the builder of Aston Hall (landmark nearby) and the mainstay of the family who owned the area for centuries. The Holte End is similar to Liverpool's 'Kop'.

The NFL is partially responsible for the Tottenham Hotspurs Stadium, with an investment so NFL games can be played there.

The Crystal Palace was built originally in Hyde Park, London to house the Great Exhibition in 1851. After the exhibition the whole building was dismantled and then a new building constructed at Sydenham Hill by 1854 to a highly extended design. The area now known as Crystal Palace is roughly in the centre of the modern south London with views Southeast towards Kent and parts of Surrey. The building was the crowning centrepiece of wonderful grounds which still exists today in a rather less grandiose form as Crystal Palace park. There is a point beside the western corner of the park where four London Boroughs meet with another borough butting up against the other side of the park. The current football club formed in 1905 at the behest of the Crystal Palace Company but that company tenuously links the club to a previous incarnation dating to 1861 which would make the club the oldest currently professional football club in the world. From their formation the team played in a huge stadium which was laid out in one of the by then disused fountain beds in the park and FA Cup Finals drawing enormous crowds, one in excess of 120,000 people were held at the stadium from 1895 until 1914 when the Great War caused the stadium to be shut down and requisitioned by the Admiralty for use as a troop training and transfer depot. It might be worth doing a video on the Crystal Palace building, it was a really quite spectacular structure. kzread.info/dash/bejne/pIeIqKRvgdvZZ9I.html As for the football club, they are perenial underachievers but always with a lot of potential to be bigger. Selhurst Park often has a raucous atmosphere but is also outdated and in desperate need of modernisation, though it is hemmed in by housing and a supermarket which makes things awkward. The small main stand dates back to when the ground opened in 1924, though there are plans afoot for a shiney new stand in its place which will shift capacity up to around 35,000.

You asked what he meant by "the top 4 tiers of English Football". Well...... The top 4 tiers (or leagues) are the professional leagues which consist of (in order) - The Premier League (20 teams) The Championship (24 teams) League 1 (24 teams) League 2 (24 teams) Collectively, these 4 leagues are referred to as "the League" or "league football", essentially to denote that they are professional leagues. Any league lower than this is known as 'non league', to denote that they are semi-pro or amateur teams. Before 1992, these leagues were known simply as Division 1, Division 2, Division 3 and Division 4, but thanks to big money tv deals, they were rebranded to make them sound 'more appealing' (hence why the 3rd and 4th division are now confusingly known as League 1 and League 2 respectively) These leagues also 'interact' with one another. Not only can teams from these leagues play each other in national cup competitions, there is also promotion and relegation between the leagues. Every season, the worst teams from each league get demoted to the league below, and the best teams from each division get moved up a league. 3 teams get relegated from the Premier League and are replaced by 3 Championship teams, 4 teams get relegated from The Championship and are replaced by 4 League 1 teams, 4 teams get relegated from League 1 and are replaced by 4 League 2 teams, and only 2 go down from League 2 and are replace by two teams from the 5th tier. This happens at ALL levels of English football. The reason only two go down from league 2 is because - The 5th tier of English football is known as the National League (or the Conference League if you're over a certain age) and is essentially the highest tier of semi-pro football (although nowadays, a lot of the teams in this league are actually registered as professional teams). This is why only 2 teams get relegated from League 2, and why only 2 National teams get promoted in their place. Teams from League 2 generally DO NOT want to drop down here, as it is considered incredibly embarrassing (or even catastrophic) for a pro team to fall out of the pro leagues, whereas a semi-pro team gaining entry to the pro leagues is considered a huge achievement and could completely change their future for years to come. From the 6th tier down it starts getting WAY more confusing as you move into what is known as the 'Football Pyramid', because it starts branching off into multiple, regional leagues at the same level. For example, the 6th tier itself consists of two separate leagues, The National League North and The National League South. It is somewhat comparable to the MLS in America, which is split into an Eastern Conference and a Western Conference, largely to cut down on the expense of having to travel across the country. By the time you get down to the 10th tier of English football there are about 17 leagues running parallel to each other. From the 11th tier down it is essentially 'park' level football (as in, football that is played in public parks, rather than purpose built stadiums) which is often referred to as 'grassroots' football. Sorry this turned into a proper essay, but hopefully it helps explain how our league system works!

Hello SoGal and Roger. You showed the US is not used to relegation and promotion. Watford, Burnley an Norwich City were relegated at the end of last season.

Arsenal's stadium - The Emirates, is known as ''The Library'' because of the poor acoustics. people say it has no atmosphere' hence the nickname. Manchester is a city in the north of England. Home to 500K people in a space of less than 45 square miles. Both stadia just 4 miles apart. There, you're either 'red' or 'blue' ! The distance between Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal is less than six miles. So local rivalries are a big part of 'life'. Same if you live in the north-east where Newcastle United (pop: 280,000) and Sunderland (pop: 340,00) are fierce rivals.

Sometimes the clubs colours are more than an aesthetic choice. You didn't like Norwich City's yellow ( well they have been relegated down to the Championship League this season anyway ). But Norwich is famous for two things 1 canaries and 2 mustard. Both of which are yellow. As a side-note, the 2 biggest shareholders of the club are Delia Smith and her husband. She is a very famous cook and used to host many BBC cookery shows. So that ties in nicely with the mustard!. They had the finest reputation for match-day meals etc, especially for their opponents and for luckier media people.
