I was fortunate enough to get a tour of Wembley Stadium back in the nineties. It was truly a wonderful experience.

real85er some of the Highbury structures have preserved , some of the stands were retrofitted into apartments and the entrance is pretty much the same

It still shocks me, as a North American, to see so many of these stadiums literally smack dead in the middle of residential areas. Off the top of my head, i can only think of Wrigley Field in Chicago and Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Even where i'm from, Montreal, and the cultural and socio-political-historical presence of the Montreal Canadiens in Montréal and Québec, the two arenas (current and previous) are downtown arenas. Some of these clubs truly are "local" sports teams. It's remarkable to think about to be honest.

They were built during the time when football was truly a working class sport so the need for them to be local and in the middle of the customer base was key. So sad to see them slowly disappear but that is life. I'm an Evertonian and we shall soon be saying goodbye to one of footballs iconic stadiums because expansion is impossible given its location.

Respect to Liverpool for not destroying their stadium and turning it into a generic glass bowl. I'm happy to have gotten to visit Stamford Bridge before that inevitably gets the same treatment as well.

Had some good punch ups at Filbert Street in the 70’s

You've missed some comically squalid grounds in the lower divisions that are no longer with us. Fellows Park and The Showground spring to mind.

What about Underhill Stadium in Barnet ?

So glad Leeds still have Elland Road, despite the fact one half of the stadium is a relic compared to the modern East Stand.

I’m not a Spurs fan but White Hart Lane had a serious atmosphere on big match day. Did it really need to be demolished, or was it an unfortunate combination of capacity & location? Such a shame to see it go, a real shame. At least Highboury resembles some of the old magic that took place there, a really clever project.

Not an Arsenal fan but Highbury with standing in the North Bank & Clock End was the best.

Where’s Layer Road? Great little ground.

leeds road only had 16,000 seated but got much bigger crowds because of standing

Saved the best till last 👌

Some beautiful old grounds.To dreadful identical bowls.English football sold it's soul.

These stadiums were fantastic, look at Upton Park, Maine Road and Highbury, they had real style and individuality.

Fellows Park- Walsall fc 1896 -1990 also one of the oldest stadiums now demolished

I miss all these old grounds.

I just realised that most of these clubs had to build new stadiums in the same year as each other (1997)

I saw the Rolling Stones at Maine Road in 1990, The Who perform at the old Wembley Stadium in 1979 but only actually watched football at Hull Boothferry Park in the 1980s....

Interesting, yet sad, video. Roker Park and The Dell had an infamous reputation of having a really loud and “in-your face” atmosphere. Yet, to look at the old aerial photos, the stadiums look quite small and shallow (so one would suspect it would not hold many spectators - but the clubs sure like to “pack ‘em in”). Presumably, the acoustics of the buildings really helped the home fans cheer and sing. I doubt you can find such intimate atmospheres in today’s stadiums.

I was fortunate to go see West Ham play at Boleyn Ground back in +/- 2000, I've never felt such an atmosphere and I probably never will. That stadium was legendary, the new one is hideous. Greetings from Belgium.

Make demolished German Stadiums

Just like to point out that the Vetch Field and Ninian Park are old WELSH stadiums. Both used for International football as well.

There are barely any seats in any of these I like that. I like seats but I love terracing

After Hillsborough, they had to get rid of the terraces in case something like that happened again

"Stadia" - for all those who spoke English deliciously since they was twice.

With Wembley, I agree on what they did with the inside of the stadium, making it all modern. I also agree with the arch . What they did with the stands and the twin towers is unforgivable. They should of just built new towers and the shape of the stands are horrific.

2:44 Maine Road 😢

Some of the capacities are not correct or record attendance , not sure what they mean , still sad all those great grounds gone

Proper grounds. Not like the souless concrete bowls we have now

And I preferred each and every single one.

The old Wembley looked iconic and full of character on telly, but it was an awful dump to actually go to. Poor views, pillars, dingey and disgusting.

Survived the rat Ken Richardson years. and the 05/06 league cup, when we beat Aston villa and Man city then took Arsenal to pens (but lost) all at the Belle Vue that season.

The Old Den looks fucking scary, would love to have gone there when it was still standing.

Maine road proper ground that

They demolished Highbury and Arsenal with it.

Eastville Stadium Bristol Rovers?

They demolished the old Wembley Stadium to construct the new Wembley Stadium to open in 2007. One day will come shows in the new Wembley Stadium, just like the old one.

Ah yes - before stadiums had to be redeveloped to get a 'better class of fan' in. (I.e. mostly people whose admission had been paid by a corporate expense account, and who are far more interested in schmoozing whilst the game is on than actually watching the game).

Lets coming home to the lane

Had just the best times at Ayresome Park 0:46 but I have to admit it was a real dump.

So many stadiums with character gone, but equally so many shit holes too.

Massive mistake with Wembley, what were they thinking..... All that history gone forever

So many....loved em...coventry sticks out..for no reason..

Brilliant blast from the past, I loved watching this but the music was awful, lol

Next time could you have more annoying and loud music please?

Those historic stadiums were ... Too old. I mean there is a lot of history and memories in them but it is time to move on after a century of use ... It is so much more comfy in the new stadiums than in these old decrepit buildings. Seating, accessibility, toilets etc ... What disturbs me more is the naming they are using these days ...
