@@durno5987 Thanks!
@@UltimateBucketList where are you going next for a tour
@@ruairibailey287 I've no idea?
@@UltimateBucketList thanks
It’s incredible how many big stadiums there are in London
Yes indeed.
Well yeah we literally invented the sports they host
Twickenham is very big. But, it is also very old. And imo a new modern stadium should be built.
@@Kratos-005 it's not that old. Was completely redeveloped during the 90's and early 2000's.
That’s a really neat stadium. I’m not even super into rugby and found that fascinating from the little details on the gate fence to the museum. Thanks again Ninh
Glad you enjoyed it Andrew!
Your tours are so great I haven't the first clue about Rugby and I still watched this from start to finish. I can't wait until you can come back to the States and show some more of our venues.
Thanks Cameron. And yes, I would love to come back Stateside and explore more of the US.
@@UltimateBucketList I'm an Everton fan here stateside I started following them because of Tim Howard as you probably guessed. I've watched your Goodison and Anfield video. As poor of shape as Goodison is in should I go if I can before they move just so I can say I saw it? Or is it really just not worth it?
@@cameronvieira6648 I mean, you can go if you want to ... but compared to their new home that's currently being built, it's not worth seeing in my opinion. There's really not much to see at Goodison and if you'd have told me that these are League Two facilities, I'd have believed you. My advice is to wait until Bramley Moore Dock stadium is open and then come and see it. The computer renditions on that stadium look immense!
Really informative. Thanks for posting.
My pleasure! Thanks for stopping by.
I love this stadium, as an Arsenal fan iv always wondered how many London stadiums would host Fifa world cup games n if Twickenham would stand a chance
It's certainly got the capacity to do so!
Only 2 as it’s a British and Irish bid. Trevor come and watch a game in Cardiff, much better than Twickenham. I went to watch the Varsity Match in 1999 and the opp stand to main stand you feel every little bit of rain.
Emm I think the Government /MPs wont allow Twickenham to be used for footballing purpose. Back then when Chelsea was planning to renovate Stamford Bridge, there was a rumor that Chelsea planned to loan Twickenham. But the government quickly ruled out those idea
woah perfect time to post this, just got on my break!!
Cool, enjoy!
Great video as always keep up the great work
Thanks Merick!
I went on this tour last Saturday. Very enjoyable.
It really is!
Great to have found this channel! Kinda thought you had like given up on YT because I thought you only had the Ninh Ly channel 😞
Yeah I run two or three channels, but I can only make content for one channel at a time! I'll be back on my main channel shortly!
@@UltimateBucketList Props to you for responding so quickly man, thank you!
@@josepheffenrogan you're welcome! Thanks for your support :)
Thanks for the video!
Thanks.
I went there last week and also had Andy as the tour guide. Great tour overall.
Fantastic, and yes, it's definitely a great tour. Andy is a good guy!
This is awesome!
Thanks!
Lol I literally go past this stadium every day. So cool that you’ve actually done it
Thanks. Yeah it was cool, but admittedly there are better rugby tours out there.
Great stadium I'd love to visit. I'm not much of a rugby fan to be honest but I'd love to at least see it. Great video as always 👍.
I think it's worth a look once in your life. Even if you go to a rugby game just for kicks ... it's certainly an experience.
What a great video thank you . i live just opposite the stadium so its handy for matches :o)
Thanks! Handy to live across the road from the stadium ... easy to get to and from matches!
Hi, Ninh! I love your vids!
Glad you like them!
Thank you so much for replying!
Hi sir, could you visit Wanda Metropolitano? Atletico Madrid new stadium. I've heard it's amazing! Grate vid mate!
I'll probably go when they finish renovating the Bernabeu and do them both at the same time.
@@UltimateBucketList don't forget to wear opposing jerseys
That Calcutta cup which England and Scotland have played firstly played in India under brtish Empire in Calcutta now know as Kolkata.. proud on that thing as an Indian 💙
Yes, that's right.
Landian 😂 nothing infront of Sri Lanka in rugby 😂😂
@@christenamrindesilva4743 wait for more 5 years then say this again ✌️🔥... this comment shows your thinking level about other nations too... love Sri lanka from india ✌️
Great video mate. What are the odds that you could do a Midlands themed tour? Villa, Wolves, West Brom, Birmingham would be cool
Very little given that everyone asked for a West Ham Tour, yet nobody bothered to watch or share it.
Wow its beautiful
Yes, it's quite a nice stadium.
@@UltimateBucketList yes indeed
He is back haha. Good video mate.
Thanks!
I can't wait to visit next year.
It's a fun place for sure.
Great video Ninh! You probably should go to Lord's next.
I'll consider it, but not sure there'd be much of a demand for it.
Great video 👍🏻
Thanks 👍
I’m a Harlequins fan, some little fun facts we do play some of our games at Twickenham, they are special games called big 13 for example. But for a laugh we call it the big Stoop when we play there.
Yes I believe so.
I'll have to remind myself to test how well I pack a scrum if I get over to Twickenham for their museum. As a prop, I'd be kicking myself if I didn't get at least some result from that exhibit!
Yeah, that was pretty fun. It measures how hard you push, though it looks easier than it actually is. The harder you push, the harder it resists.
Another great video, Twickenham Stadium look magnificent but I did not need the reminder of the 2003 Rugby World Cup Final lol. Fun fact the 2nd test of the 2016 England Rugby Union tour of Australia still holds the record attendance figure for a sporting event at AAMI Park here in Melbourne, 29,871 spectators went to the game, England won of course.
Hi Jason - yeah had to put that one in there to redress the balance of South Africans and Italians whaling on the English!
@@UltimateBucketList I tried to share you video on twitter but twitter wont allow me to get into my account
Will Murrayfield be coming up and if so will the ice rink get a mention given it's right next door?
No. Simply because Murrayfield have suspended Stadium tours until further notice. I checked already.
Another top video again Sir! Did you manage to find out why the seats at Twickenham are green? I’ve always wondered that but never found any real/official answer.
Believe it or not, I asked that ... and no-one officially knows why? The seats at the stadium have always been green and even after two refurbishments, they just kept the seats that colour out of tradition. But there's no real reason for it. They did however tell me that the shade of green they used is officially called 'Twickenham Green'.
@@UltimateBucketList Nice one. Thanks for the reply.
When I did the tour I asked and was told as green it’s colour longer
I'm curious where this would fall in your stadium tour rankings.
The rankings list is only for football stadiums. That's why you don't see the Dallas Cowboys or this one on it. But if I had to put it somewhere, it'd be in the lower third. The tour itself was pretty basic, it's the Rugby Museum that really saves it.
You should do Murrayfeild. Done the tour a few years ago, definitely worth it.
Sadly, they've stopped all tours until further notice. I checked.
When international travel becomes easier you should try to do the "rival team's shirt" tours at fenway park and yankee stadium.
As a Jays fan, I'd never wear a Yankees jersey for any reason. I have no beef with the Red Sox.
@@UltimateBucketList lmao as a sox fan i feel you there.
@@Vexivan True dat!
@@UltimateBucketList If you ever come to Lambeau, you'd get some light ribbing for wearing a Bears shirt. Source: Am Packers fan from that area, but had a friend of mine from Chicago do the tour alongside me.
Or, as a former resident of Surbiton. Take the 281 bus from Kingston. It stops right outside the stadium.
Good advice.
Two other suggestions for rugby stadiums are Cardiff and Murray Field to add on to your list
Way ahead of you ... neither stadium are open for tours.
@@UltimateBucketList alright just add it to your list for the future nihn
14:56 Cold was it Ninh? You can cut glass with them puppies.
It wasn't noticeably cold, though anybody wearing a thin Rugby shirt outside would probably have the same effect happen to them.
do you reckon you could maybe do the Two Irish Stadiums? Croke Park and The Aviva?
Yes, when travel becomes normal again.
Respect to England from Argentina. Vamos los Pumas!!🌹🤝🐆
Gracias amigo!
Hi... Do they have stores that sell England rugby jersy @Twickenham Stadium..??
I don't think you watched the video properly did you? Because if you did - you'd see they have a club shop on site.
You should do Edgbaston cricket ground its a really great place especially on a sunny day
Apart from Lord's, I don't think Cricket stadiums do tours. Just not enough demand for it.
@Ulimate Bucket List I don’t know if you have done Lords, and that is truely the spiritual home of cricket. The overseas players genuinely feel it when they play there with the bell to start play, the walk through the long room and the honours board. I imagine that is a fascinating tour.
@@UltimateBucketList The Oval, Edgbaston, Trent Bridge and even Sofia Gardens in Cardiff all do stadium tours. The Oval is particularly impressive, and is the oldest Test stadium in the UK (also held several FA Cup finals too)
Good video
Thanks
@@UltimateBucketList you’re welcome
Not a patch on the Principality Stadium to watch a game of rugby union for atmosphere or views plus the pubs literally 100 metres from the ground. Twickenham does have a museum though
I've yet to do that one, so I'll reserve judgement until then.
Hi there, great footage, do you own the copyright?
Given that I filmed most of this myself ... yes.
Great video, where does the tour rank in your list?
The rankings list is only for football stadiums. That's why you don't see the Dallas Cowboys or this one on it. But if I had to put it somewhere, it'd be in the lower third. The tour itself was pretty basic, it's the Rugby Museum that really saves it.
Bro when Allianz arena or Signal iduna park. They are the best stadiums in Europe. Plz make a tour
When Germany lets me in their country freely.
Home of England Rugby, Royal Bank of Scotland sponsorship on the goal posts. Definitely checks out
Sponsors are sponsors. They're also sponsored by British Airways and 02 - that doesn't really make a difference in the grander scheme of things.
0:30 Twickenham is amazing but nothing can beat principality
Plenty of stadiums are probably better than the Principality.
Very nice stadium
Great, thanks!
Murrayfield stadium next plz. Good video
Murrayfield's tours are closed until further notice.
I'm going in a couple of weeks
Cool! If you see Andy, tell him he's famous! 😎
Maybe 🎉
Yes
Would love it if you did a tour of Molineux
I don't believe they do tours.
@@UltimateBucketList I know they certainly used to whether it's changed because of covid I don't know. But when it opens back up, be sure to check it out
Hi Ninh can u do a Tour of Liverpool I am traveling there in a few days
@@UltimateBucketList This week on Friday But thank you for replying I can’t wait for ur next video
Are you going to do the tours at Brighton and Crystal Palace while your in London
Honestly? No.
Street fighter music. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Well spotted.
Nice 👍👍👍👍
Thank you! Cheers!
No problem
Have you done the Wimbledon tennis tour yet?
I actually went past it on the way to Hampton Court Palace. Couldn't get tickets for love nor money, it was incredibly hard this year (due to COVID)
By the way it's strange how stadium tours dnt include the fan areas, cafes etc as well. I'dove to see the architecture and personality of the stadium
Some do, but the vast majority of the tours don't show them unless they're really nice.
The Principality Stadium is a much better stadium and tour after watching this.
@@UltimateBucketList I remember Seoul's World Cup Stadium tour including the cafe when I was there. Granted, the tour was self-guided.
@Mark Davies smaller capacity though, and it is not the actual spiritual home of rugby which Twickenham is.
I don’t know anything about rugby since I’m American and it’s not really played or watched over here, but who is considered the GOAT of rugby.
Tough question: I think people in different countries will give you different answers. Dan Carter & Ritchie McCaw of New Zealand. Johnny WIlkinson & Martin Johnson of England. Brian O'Driscoll & Keith Wood of Ireland. There's so many great rugby players, and I don't think there's a consensus as to who is the outright best player ever.
The playing positions in rugby have diverse requirements, the expectations of the big, powerful forwards are very different to those of the fast, skillful wingers. There is no direct equivalent of a quarterback who controls all his team's movements, so its hard to say one that one particular player is the GOAT. There are many who are considered very great payers in their positions on the field.
When will you wear the new united kit? 💪
When I buy it ... which I haven't done yet.
It looks the way croke park in dublin would look like if it had 4 complete stands ,the capacity difference is just 300
Yes, I actually agree with you on that one. Croke Park is immense!
@@UltimateBucketList Something similar can be said of the AVIVA in that it would be like the emirates stadium if it was symetrical and in fact they were built by the same company
Croke Park should redevelop the terraced end. I know it has some history attached to it, but it is an eyesore and spoils the aesthetics of what is a magnificent stadium.
Should go and see the millennium (Principality) in Cardiff
Been there, didn't do any tours cause they weren't running any. That might change now that COVID restrictions are lifting.
So the attitude of pride in rugby is very much the same as NCAA d1 football. That's awesome. I love rugby even more (union that is). Screw league rules.
Yeah, Rugby is a very prideful sport, but without the weird hostility that exists in soccer. Nothing wrong with League rules my friend!
@@UltimateBucketList no. I know in one of your other videos you talked about you preferring league rules. Idk, but its too similar to our (in the us) football. Hate the tackle limits. Union feels like its own sport and its far more physical. But I'm just a professional wrestler with opinions. Plus my mum sent me to rugby camp because i was having anger issues and we learned union rules, so its sort of tradition. Thanks for replying. Just got off the ball and chain. Fan of your work.
@@frankym69You do realize that both American football, rugby union, and rugby league all evolved out of football-style games played in the 1800s, right?
Uefa champions league final should be played in this stadium
I don't see why? There's a purpose built football stadium that holds more people just north of here.
Please do Lord's cricket ground?
I'll consider it.
Hey ninh why haven't you uploaded videos on your main channel
I'll try and upload soon.
Dude… I’m surprised you didn’t mention that several NFL games were played at Twickenham
Lots of other things happen at Twickenham dude, including concerts, Rugby League etc. Interesting fact: when the NFL comes to town, they commandeer a huge proportion of seats because there's few corporate and broadcast boxes for coaches and backroom staff etc. So what is normally an 82,000 seat stadium only holds 70,000 for NFL.
The NFL teams were not impressed with Twickenham hence why it was ditched as a venue.
Brother please do tour of lords cricket stadium
I'll consider it.
Hey can you do Villa Park stadium tour plz?
I don't know if they've re-opened the tours - I'm fairly sure they haven't.
Can't Believe you did a Twickemham Tour Before Wembley 😂😂
I've done Wembley before, the tours aren't operating until September. Not sure why that would be so funny?
In rugby league Australia is the power house best professional league n most world cup titles 11 times , it's like the American NBA dream team of basketball
WRONG! You're talking about Rugby League. This is a Rugby Union stadium.
@@UltimateBucketList I know that I said rugby league, I not a rugby union fan , just NRL
@@dany-ric-3 seems kinda funny posting that comment on a Rugby Union video? Most of the people watching this video probably don't like League.
The stadium does need abit more modernising. It's still a very good stadium but compared with some of the newer stadia such as the new Wembley, Emirates, and the Tottenham Hotspur stadium, it does look dated.
Given that this was built in 1907, it'd be foolish to expect ultra modern. The stadiums you've listed have all been built fairly recently.
@@UltimateBucketList There's nothing of the 1907 stadium remaining except those ceremonial gates. Its was completely redeveloped during the 80s and 90s, so it's really not very old at all.
Hi please May you do Exeter chiefs rugby
I'm pretty sure Sandy Park doesn't do tours?
Very good, but what about your rankings list? If you’re doing rugby stadiums, then you have to get to Cardiff to do the millennium stadium... nothing compares as a venue when it comes to watching love rugby. And before all the fan boys start laying into me.... I’m not even Welsh so no bias views LOL
The rankings list is only for football stadiums. That's why you don't see the Dallas Cowboys or this one on that list. As for the Millennium/Principality, I'm trying to land six nations tickets and do that tour at the same time. Easier said than done.
@@UltimateBucketList well now I know LOL. Unless it’s Italy at home for Wales, you can pretty much forget about getting tickets to a Wales home game in the six nations on general sale. Unless you’re prepared to pay obscene money (or know someone in a rugby club) it’s very very difficult
@@matthewpotter8491 I believe so, yes. Welsh friends have told me that it's the hottest ticket in town.
Why do they never mention Twickenham Stadium when always talking about stadiums in UK.
I think it's mainly because it's primarily used for rugby union only, whereas other stadiums (Wembley, Old Trafford etc.) are used by multiple sports a lot more regularly?
When will you do wolves stadium tour?
Not likely anytime soon I'm afraid. There's just no demand for it. Also because they only cater to private groups.
Ok
Could you do West Brom instead and show up in a Wolves shirt? That would be pretty awesome 👍
Go to turf moor pls
You mean this one? kzhead.info/sun/qbaql5qNe4CFdH0/bejne.html
@@UltimateBucketList yes thanks
Do San paolo
I doubt I'd ever be there?
Went before the rugby World Cup in 2015 and they showed us round more areas. These included the function rooms and board rooms. Might be cut because of covid restrictions im guessing.
Yeah possibly. I've heard from numerous people that you generally get to see more, but sometimes, I've heard people say that you don't really see anything.
Love twickenham paid 220 pounds face value Wales v England when England had the world cup what a price worth it tho. Six natiins tickets are hard to get World cup was easier
Yes, 6N tickets are extremely hard to come by except if they're playing Italy.
even top gear played here in cars
Yes, they did indeed!
More character to this than Wembley
I totally agree.
@@UltimateBucketList Twickenham always reminds me from the outside of the Pompidou Centre in Paris. Looks a bit unfinished to be honest - all drainage and wiring pipes and bare concrete.
go to america and visit all MLS stadiums ‼️
I'd love to go back to America. They have to let me in their country first!
Love your videos ninh but we all know the biggest rugby nations are in the south (All blacks and South Africa)😉😂 Just bants of course and I truely love the content.
Nah, England rules the roost. Thanks!
Rugby School tour?
I don't think they do public tours of Rugby school?
This place also hosts unexpected events like one of the biggest gatherings of jehovah's witnesses anywhere on earth
Yes apparently so!
Next lord's?
I'll think about it.
@@UltimateBucketList thank you 🙏
didn't realize that the English won the rugby world cup in 2004
2003, close enough.
I’m guessing it’s a bit of a relief that QPR game means nothing and was only a friendly.. 😬
I don't really take note of pre-season, as it's just an evaluation tool to see what players can and can't do.
Best rugby team in the world?
Yup
Ninhyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy How ya doin?
Yeah not bad.
Theirs nothing wrong with wearing any teams shirt even though you do not support them
Correct! But I do support England, so no problems there.
Great video, but saying England is one of the best rugby teams was a joke. With all due respect, All Blacks and SA should be at the top.
I think England on their day could beat either of those teams and sensible non-judgemental people would say the same. They came out flat against SA in the last RWC final but that's an aberration.
Lol the best team in the world and the best stadium. This lad absolutely licking England's hole
I never said it was the best stadium. This lad needs a hearing aid.
@@UltimateBucketList Ok fair enough you said the most famous rugby stadium which nearly the same thing. But they are a long way off being the best team. That was an outrageous shout
@@15briangriffin Is that so? England just beat the supposed #1 ranked team in World Rugby (and VERY fortuitous World Cup Champions, South Africa, England being the other contestant in the final), very convincing wins in the Autumn series against Australia and Tonga (no challenge there). Strong up and down the line 1-15, they have world class players on the bench too. If you believe the famously inaccurate World Rugby Rankings, England are #3 out of 110 countries. How is that a "long way off"? Oh and "most famous" definitely does not mean "best". Which paradigm of the universe does that 'nearly mean' it? I suggest you buy a dictionary for Christmas, and actually watch the Rugby being played out there before making sweeping statements about things that either nobody said, or that simply aren't true. #micdrop
How about allianz stadium?
You've really got to stop asking that.
Mate I challenge you wear a United Shirt at Anfield on Matchday
Zzzzzzz been there, done that.
