The more I learn about the experience of attending football games in England, the more I realize I definitely would be a fan of lower-league or non-league clubs and I definitely wish we could have experiences like that here in the states. However my local USL League 2 team has a food truck with Chick-fil-A sandwiches outside of the stadium so I'm okay with that being hospitality.

The Premier League has become a league for upper middle class & upper class fans only ordinary people how have ordenery jobs just simply cant afford to go to games now especially with the globe cost of living crises we are all going through. As I seen sead on a B.T Sport documentary The Premier League in England in Nothing more than a T.V show now for the vast majority. And that is extremely sad.

You still got real fans, ultras with the best atmosphere, you are allowed to take your pints within the stadium and overall it's just a better atmosphere and more enjoyable than the premier league

I think in the vast majority of hospitality sections, you’ll be sat in areas with a more quiet relaxed atmosphere as I think that’s what the clientele partially go/pay for.

The guy who went to quatar to give biase opinions for money

At non league clubs people have habits. The main stand, which until 3 years ago was the only stand have people that simply want to sit in the same place every week. The kids and some of the older lads that like standing go behind the goal. Others like myself change ends. I have no regrets moving my support from West Ham to Bromley,had some great times and met some lovely people. Great video. The crowds gone... mild was my highlight.

for 35 quid u could come to scunnys hospitality, three course meal b4 match, watch us concede a few goals in the first half, half time sausage roll and tea/coffee, watch us conced a ton more goals in 2nd half. meet man of the match and the special guest at the end

I used to chaperone kids teams from across the world, mainly the States, who would be based in Surrey or Manchester for a week; playing friendlies against local teams and academy teams. The trip always included tickets to a Prem match, so I've experienced a lot of ground's hospitality as a 'neutral'. Cracking 'atmosphere' and hospitality at Villa Park, Anfield, Goodison, Elland Road. Given the size of the ground, Old Trafford was always quite quiet, and you'd think Stamford Bridge and the Emirates were libraries were it not for the away fans. The worst was Stoke - when we took two coach loads from Venezuela and had to get the locals to stop screaming at and throwing things at 9-10 year old kids who spoke little to no English, but had politely clapped when the opposition scored.

This channel makes me want to save up and watch a couple matches in England . Hello from Colorado, USA

Just happened across this channel and love it already. Your shirt collection rivals mine too.

Couldn’t agree more regarding atmosphere. Stamford bridge pre game is horrendous nowadays. No atmosphere at so I avoid home game and do away days only. Good to get an insight on hospitality and now know the reason why I’d never do it. Chelsea through and through but never a good atmosphere at the bridge

Hospitality at Tynecastle in Edinburgh is 3 course meal, pie at half time, ticket, 12 drinks, meet the POM after the game - £70-130 depending on the opponent. Raffles, bet sheets, unique merch all sold during and guest speaker throughout the day.

Loving the new style of content Ellis! Keep at it :)

Incredible value for money at that Bromley game. What a great afternoon out, and at a very cheap price. Very impressed.

Great video Timmy!

love the video and loved the herpies

Grape catching skills are unmatched. Messi couldn’t do that therefore you are the 🐐

Could really do with away days coming to support the utter disaster that’s going on at Scunthorpe united maybe a vlog at glanford park ?

That's at most clubs really. When it's all local business owners and labourers in hospitality it's a good laugh. When it's old toffs, not so much.

Would love you to do a celtic one

Old Trafford is decent exec tbf. Free bar and food before kick off, half time and full time. They also have your drinks waiting for you at the table at HT and FT. Atmosphere isn’t great in execs compared to my season ticket in the east stand lower. Padded seats though.

Yeah the Saints you should have sat in at Bromley with a little bit higher up in front of some TV screens when you first come out or the hospitality area and yes the better atmosphere is behind the goal where you were

Tell Ben to change his hair up. It's not 2005 anymore.

That grape trick was a sight to behold 🍇 Truly raisin the bar for future videos.

Bromley is a great choice for this, as they are probably the biggest “proper” non-league clubs. Eg not recently (or ever) relegated from the EFL.

Great video, with your rankings just back yourself with your ratings you don’t have to justify every part of it saying if you were richer or a chelsea fan etc etc we’re happy to hear your ratings for what you made of it 😊 love these videos

Great vid. I think the issue with the atmosphere, especially at a 'bigger' club is that you won't catch the higher class fans chanting like you do the fans that go week in week out.

That grape catch was pretty impressive

I went to a corporate box at Arsenal paid for by my company. All you can drink champagne, amazing view of the pitch and the chance to chat with Arsenal legends but the buffet wasn’t great. I certainly wouldn’t pay thousands out of my own pocket for the experience.

Brighton was a good hospitality thing when I went
