Premier League Stadiums Then and Now (NEW VERSION): kzhead.info/sun/p9uyqb6Em6t7h4U/bejne.html
There were cars in most of the before pictures, modern cars were not around in the early 1900's, come on...
That’s not what the Amex looks like now 😂 All the seats are filled in
A lot of the before pictures were taken in the 1990s not the early 1900s
Hi tin foil chef. How's hermitcraft?
Please help me get to the club. I'm very good
In Greece, stadiums are stuck to "Then" status.
Και πιο πριν από το τότε σαν ερείπια είναι τα δικά μας
για να γινουμε ρομπα????
Its better to keep them as they are until you have a project and the money for it. in Turkey they built awful stadiums instead. Cheap and outdated.
There are much more important things to do in greece
😄😄😄
I'm from South America so I'm sure you folks from Europe may have a different point of view: Some of those old grounds looked great! Was it really necessary to move to new stadiums or completely reconstruct them? They look like your regular "Ronald Mc Donald Colloseums" from the States now. Part of what makes English football important was the fact that those stadiums had a very distinctive architecture and decades of history.
With some stadiums, it was a case of the facilities being simply too old, they were just falling apart or weren't up to standard any more. Wembley was iconic and historic, but it had to be changed because it was so old. Plus it's all the money in football today. The players, businessmen, delegates etc. are expecting a first class experience.
Some of the old stadiums have the best atmosphere for example Fratton Park, Portsmouth or Selhurst Park, Crystal Palace. But its impossible to tell if its just because of an old style stadium or because the fans are genuinely local supporters proud of their town. I think its a mixture of both.
You are absolutely right, look at white heart lane, highbury, maine road and more. Those were the stadiums that you came for as a football fan from europe, luckely theres still old trafford, stamford bridge and many more.
Normaal07schoonebeek And when today's kids are older, they'll be talking about the new White Hart Lane, Emirates etc. with the same nostalgia. Especially if they become kinda pointless with TV money by then.
It's all money today, new stadiums fit more private boxes and host office space exc. And in many cases it's cheaper to move out of a old stadium and into a new one rather then renovation of an old stadium. Renovation in many cases is to difficult and expensive. In some cases you have clubs who moved out of the old stadium and old neighbourhood and now play miles away from the original location in some rural area. (Bolton). Then you have clubs that moved stadiums but managed to stay in the same general neighbourhood (Arsenal, Cardiff). Then you have Tottenham, they couldn't find any land to build on in North London, so they decided to rebuild a new stadium on the same land as the previous stadium, while temporary playing at Wembley for the mean time. You have many other clubs looking to build new stadiums or renovate the old stadiums. Teams like Chelsea, QPR, or Crystal Palace find it difficult to find any available near by land to build on in London and might only have the option of renovations.
the tottenham one makes me wonder if the person who made this is an arsenal fan hahahaha
#cool Me if ur an Arsnel fan then why do u have a City player on your logo

I'm a Chelsea fan and I've gotta be honest I've never realised how nice arsenal stadium is
It’s nice, one of the best in the country. But it has zero history, which is why it’s nowhere near iconic stadia like Old Trafford, Anfield. Highbury was a football stadium. The Emirates is a cinema.

My, do I miss Maine Road such good times. Even in league 2 there were still positive vibes in fans 😥☺️
Ahhh, the Kippax!!! Great days, loved maine road....
Great to see Dean Court as it was in 1910. My Great Grandfather was the AFC Bournemouth (then Boscombe) goalkeeper for the first ever game at that venue.
Interesting
Great vid
Not an Arsenal fan but what a shame that Highbury is gone. Beautiful and historic stadium.
shame really most of the old clubs look better in a way they have more character. the new stadiums look abit boring with scaffolds on the outside
Thank you for good video! Stadiums are upgrading!

TFC could you make one video like this but with spanish League????
Yes, I will ;)
Anyone else find this depressing? Used have grounds with lots of character in communities then a bunch of these are boring modern stadiums at the edge of town etc.
TFC I
TFC oi
Turf moor really hasn’t changed a lot, and I’m happy about that, still got that old feel about it, UTC!!
Great to see the comparisons I would also like to have seen the old vs new record attendances and/or capacities at each of the respective venues. But enjoyed all the same....
Old stadia looked and FELT better, or more interesting I should say. Built much like an old family house, where you adjust to the new needs, building and adding step by step. They had a human character and of course, they produced extremely better atmosphere. Proper HOME GROUNDS. Modern grounds are more suited to provide comfort, safety and maximize profit but are completely soulless. Or perhaps its the fans that have become different. Or both.
mskidi bit of both mate, the old fans die with the old grounds, I’m a derby fan and it hasn’t been the same since we left the baseball ground
The first time I went to Stamford Bridge was in the 1980s and my lasting memory was of the Reliant Robin's behind the goal in front of the shed end with the wind howling and them shaking let hell, it must have been some experience watching a game sat in one of those!!!
Sure they have the comfort/facilities/all seating......but boy those old stadiums had a special atmosphere...
new ones commercial, no soul #RIPbritain
dead right.loved the old grounds.just calling them stadiums instead of grounds sums it up for me.all they are now are soulless money machines.
And They were architecturally interesting.
some new ones still have a great atmosphere, also it improved the poor sight lines
This video had a lot of potential, but trash music, misleading dates, and too many factually incorrect comparisons. I'm out.
What was factually incorrect?
@@moh4509 It's incorrect because some of the stadiums are not the same stadium, they're new ones in different locations.
I get it
Exactly...and when is "Then"? Some of them have pictures from the 1800's and some, Anfield and Old Trafford being two that spring to mind are from the 1990's. In all a rubbish video made in about 8 minutes by googling the first picture they could find for each stadium
You sound like you're off dragons den
0:21 im pretty sure the cars didn’t look like that back in 1913
@@eamonnmcdonagh2743 nike was not a thing back then
@@michellehoward2458 The photo is around 1970-1990 but it says 1913 because thats the year of foundation
1:28 Selhurst Park still looks the same 😂
Part of the reason why its the best atmosphere in the league now.
So kind of Manchester city to have all their fans in their stadium picture on 2:40
FIFA PRO lol
FIFA PRO HAHAHAHAHA
@FIFA PRO i agree
We're top of the league! We're top of the league!
Santiago & Dunbarr still tough every fan is a glory hunter / gold digger. You see? No fans in matches
The old stadiums were looking so nice the new ones like ufo)
Clubs lose so much of their identity when they move to these boring bowl shaped grounds that all look the same.
u want them to shape them like octagons and triangles
mt573234 Yep they're all practically the same. Even naming the stadiums like Bet 365. Money has wrecked the game completely
Gary Garratt West Brom are adding safe seating
That’s what a stadium is
@@Roddy657 I meant safe standing zones
3:34 Stoke's groundskeeper hasn't had a day off in 40 years, grass is always perfect
Frank Dog Stoke first picture, grass is pretty cool 👍🏻
It’s a shame that they’re going down!!!!
Should be perfect. The ball never comes in contact with it.
Let me introduce you to turf Moore😂
Likeablechuck 1 Turt moor is alright
I like most of the former stadiums more than the new ones, because they had no commercial names and were settled in the middel of the town. In my opinion, the ambiance of the stadiums nowadays has decreased. I not only notice this in England, but also in other countries.
Agreed
Agreed. all the new ones looks so generic.
@@jb0609 eh, the new ones all have some sort of style to them but the old ones look classic. depends on which u like
Old ones are more artistic, beatiful architecture, way more classic. I absolutely hate moder stadiums.
Nice video!
Good old Highbury those were the days nice vid.
am I the only one who finds Anfield the same
Zion Fernandes yes
Zion Fernandes only changed one side of the stadium for more seating... I think it looks much better!
Zion Fernandes you are not the only one
The before picture was before the Anfield Road end was done but after the Kop was revamped, so two sides have changes in the pics. This would date the picture to between 1994 and 1998.
Shame this video didn't show what Anfield looked like more than 20 years ago.
Like the old baseball parks in the US, the old football grounds in the UK had great character.
Nice study and congratulations
Haha the Turf Moor photos, love how they just added more colour saturation and vibrance on the newer photo :D
The Emirates is an amazing stadium.
noticed mourinho's bus on the chelsea pic ;) lol
Really nice
you got the date of St James' Park wrong...it was used as a football ground in 1880 for Newcastle Rangers and earlier in the 1860s for Stanley cricket club...the date of its original opening is unknown but sometime after 1844.
How is this a 'then and now' when half of them are not the same stadium!
Now I know why the FIFA 17 commentator says Stamford Bridge used to be a Greyhound track!
An interesting topic, but three thoughts: 1) Shouldn't the title be 'Premier League clubs and their stadiums in the past' - I'd be quite interested to see the flats on Highbury or the Dell but these weren't shown. 2) You haven't used the latest photos of some stadia - Etihad and Stoke have been upgraded recently. 3) As some have mentioned, the time of the 'old' photo isn't mentioned and in some cases it really wasn't from very long ago. Still if you do it again for next season you won't need to worry about the latest picture of the Stoke ground.
3:18 damn the saints’ old stadium was tiny
No wonder tottenhams form is so bad if there playing in that. 😂

Hey TFC guys! Out of curiosity, is it possible to edit a video after publishing it and update the frames of spurs stadium?
It's amazing looking back at how it was in yesteryear.
I missed Upton Park and Highbury :(
Boleyn ground is and will always be superior to the London stadium
Classic example of a ground which didn't need replacing.
Boleyn and Highfield Road are grounds that should of never been replaced.
I went there - it was a hole!
As a Spurs fan I have been to both - new stadium does not even have 10% of the atmosphere of the Hammers great old ground - terrible shame
I went there 5 times and it usually had a good proper football atmosphere,though there were a few corners where the view wasn't brilliant,not the only old London ground for that to be the case. Does the size of the London Stadium,and perhaps the distance from the stands to the pitch,make it difficult to generate an atmosphere?
Nice video. Some development, but Goodison is pretty much the same :)
Hope Goodison doesn't go, would like to finally win a derby )=
The Old Goodison (Pre 1969) was just beautiful. The Only thing that's the same is the bodies of The Bullens Road And Gladwys Street Stands. Changed A lot actually.
Fun fact Evertons one stand (away end ) is still the same from when it was built in the 1800s :-)
Highbury not the same as the Emirates
Do you mean fans arent as close to pitch as they were at Highbury?
Alan Doherty no he means they are different stadiums
Highbury was better in my opinion ...
well clearly both stadiums are different.
He means arsenal where more successful in highbury
Chelsea were very shortsighted, All that space and a great opportunity to increase capacity but they decided to build a hotel instead.
The music is so relaxing
Wow didn't know they had coloured photographs in the early 1900's. Learn something new every day.
Man I miss Maine road so much, so many memories ❤️❤️
Tom back before your club had been invaded by plastics
"plastics"
Mainly nightmares I would think😎
@@beds139, I think your thinking about the "theatre of nightmares"
@@indiekiddrugpatrol3117, utter crap, city supporters have always been around, this plastic crap is just jealousy.
Hmm, I think a better job could have been made on these to be honest. It would have been better if you could find a picture of each club's ground at the same point in history, say 1980 for example. The comparisons would be much more interesting
StepIntoTomorrow Agree. Plus, there were examples where the club’s stadia had changed physical location, and others where there had obviously been a significant facelift renovation (personally find the latter more interesting) and more aligned to the tag lines of THEN versus NOW
Yeah its biased alright. Showing Everton from 1890 odd and Old Trafford with one terrace not there. Suppose architecture has gone a long way backwards in understanding football atmosphere. Same songs sung now and same atmosphere for those songs.
The Everton Photo was from the 1930s. The 1892 Thing is when it was built. The First proper football ground In England.
Probably harder to do than you think. Would make for an excellent video though.
Remember when I used to upload videos like this ❤️
I just wanna say, The Amex Stadium looks amazing 🤩
I agree 😊
Been past it a few times, on my list of stadia to visit!
Klub-klub sepak bola atau pemerintah-pemerintah daerah di indonesia harusnya cukup bangung stadion-stadion yang minimalis saja, jangan yang besar-besar. Tetapi memiliki penampilan yang rapi, bersih, terawat, dan lapangan+rumputnya bagus seperti King Power Stadium, Amex Stadium, The Hawthorns, Dean Court. Daripada dana pembangunannya habis dikorupsi, mending dibuat untuk perawatan stadion atau pengadaan fasilitas-fasilitas canggih. Stadion besar juga tidak ada jaminan akan penuh penonton, biaya perawatan juga bisa lebih besar karena areanya yang luas.
O Dumper iya bro ana setuju, udah ketangkap korupsi malah nabrak tiang wkwkwk
the spurs one is a representation of their title hopes at the beginning of the season and their hopes now.
NFL will be better in there than Spurs will be

rikelme90 kane😭
I always hated going to Maine road , Victoria park and the vetch. Always trouble there.. but in an odd way, I love the old grounds too.
Had no idea Brighton had such a lovely stadium!
How tottenham gonna play with that crane on the way.....
yeah lol I'm a spurs fan ........... worrying,
His name's Kane
Reece Chambers How old are you 2? Can't you not see the crane
I was joking
No idea
Highbury doesn't look like the emirates. Highbury now funnily enough, looks like blocks of flats.
Lewis Rankin will they ever settle down and find a home other than Woolwich. If Man City are nicknamed the citizens they should be called the tourists.
Highbury did not completely demolished. The art deco wall still there today.
Can't wait for the next EPL Then & Now after Everton's new ground at Bramley Moore is finished. I'll miss Goodison but the new one'll be a stunner.
I'm a massive Spurs fan but even I found it hilarious when they got to WHL. 😂
The Stamford Bridge , The Anfield Road and The Etihad Stadium are the best Arena's in the Premier League
Stamford bridge anfield and old trafford kept their traditional stadium unlike the other 3 from big 6 lol
Those old stadia were so much better.
In many ways, atmosphere at a lot of clubs gets dropped off when they leave an older more terraced ground etc. But there still has to come a point when you modernise and try to adapt, otherwise the only stadiums your left with are rusty old concrete slabs that can barely rival the average polish sides grounds.
Palace stadium has barely changed at all!
Great video. Thank you. I do feel I should advise you that The Hawthorns capacity is 28003, not 26500.
I look at photos of the old football grounds and the one thing I notice in all of them is how wide open to the sky they are, like the ground is opening up to a vast blue space that goes on forever and you can see the buildings of the town or the trees surrounding the park. These modern stadia are all enclosed bowls or boxes with just an opening in the centre of the lid and you see very little beyond the stands which now loom so high and block out everything outside except a little patch of sky straight up above the pitch. That's a big reason why I prefer the lower division and non-league grounds to these McStadiums of the premierships. It's like the ambience of minor league baseball parks here in the States: you don't feel enclosed and the game doesn't feel enclosed. Everything is wide open and there's more grass and greenery and blue sky than concrete and steel and you feel like you're outside. The Great Outdoors with seats or the green berm surrounding the outfield to gather on. All in all a far more pleasant gameday or game-night experience for the fan even if your team is losing.
I would love to watch a World Cup in England. A lot better than in Qatar. Cheers from Brazil!
Os estadios qatari sao bem bonitos pena q o modo q construiram nao
Yeah well we may be the next European country to host the World Cup!
Antarctica would be better than Qatar.
🖕Qatar and there corrupt oil money 💰 They don't deserve to host the World Cup. I 🙏Qatar get hammered in everyone of their group games. FIFA can go and get a big dog right up their, ask me later what I really think of the whole football governing body.
4:13 😂

There are others I won't mention great video tho really interesting in future and it's just my advice stick to one's that are still at the originally stadiums the one Im most shocked about is me ground St,James Park what a beautiful place howay the toon
Great👍👍👍
So sad to see White Hart Lane go.
True but at least it will feel like home i guess
쑤웡

Tottenhams new ground will be the best. Im a man utd fan but love spurs new ground for 2018/19 season.
Yep but still not finished as yet, could open late October or November. I am Saints fan but I like the new stadium and maybe one day I will watch Spurs v Saints in new ground.
Gracias ,buen video,me gustó.pero visto un estadio vistos todos,son todos iguales muy muy parecidos
More than half are new stadiums and a good few have barely changed because the photos are from not that long ago. Only a couple showed actual changes.
It must be me but I prefer every single older stadium.
Same here It's sad what happened to Boleyn Ground
It's Not just you.
Come on. By the late 80s/early 90s Stamford Bridge was a crumbling heap.
Paul Carney...yeah mate. I went there with Luton in the 80’s and the away end was miles from the pitch. The atmosphere wasn’t great because it was so exposed. Maybe I should add Chelsea to the list? I just hate these plastic stadiums. There aren’t many that are better for football though. Me thinks.
Most beautifully stadium in st james park... newcastle united
To me it was one of the worst, It looked like a load of scaffolding was still up. not impressed.
It's a fabulous stadium
@@karenterry5970 it's a great ground inside! Take Ashley and his sports direct adverts out and it's a wow ground to walk into on a sunny day
I beg to differ Sir. St James' Park is the most asymmetric stadium ( only 3 quarters finished ) followed by Old Trafford (And I am United Fan).

Turf moor, selhurst park and John Smith stadium
Cracking video what’s the music called that’s used in it please folks?
AFC Bournemouth plays in Vitality Stadium
Ludwig Parthe Our Stadium is Dean Court 😆 Vitality is just the sponsor
As a Guy who has attended thousands of games since 1962 let me say that this is deceptive. Perfect example is West Ham, because if you look at this without knowing ,you would think the current ground is better but 98% of Hammers fans would have preferred the smaller, intense Bearpit that was Upton Park. Just look at the old atmosperes , especially, when you could stand and there is little comparison to the bland nature of some of these ASS ( All-Seater Stadiums). Ironically the exception will be Spurs who are in their same road, literally, next door and will have a 17,000 Home End worthy of the name.
I'm a palace fan,and when you look at selhurst Park it could do with a spruce up here and there,but it looks a proper old style football ground rather than a bland homogenised new stadium that so many clubs have these days.I understand the need to maximise revenue for clubs,but there is a case for retention of old style stands too and selhurst does have a fantastic atmosphere for a smallish stadium
just the playing field itself. man. how they keep it so good
Brighton, Huddersfield, Leicester, Man.City, Southampton, Stoke, Swansea and West Ham all play at new stadiums that are not on the site of their old grounds, so they do not fit with the title of your video.
AldershotDave you forgot Arsenal
adam moffitt Somebody already mentioned Arsenal, hence why I didn’t.
Interesting to see Leicester’s stadium is the same size as Southampton’s stadium. A premier league winner in the past 10 years and the previous FA cup winner has almost an identical stadium to the club that Leicester beat 9-0
I love this
Nice
4:10 what?! 🤣
EPL stadiums looks like factories from the outside.
Josh Fernandez i wish england Will be great again
I love English stadiums Especially the smaller ones with around 30-40 thousand capacity
The Stamford bridge one is false that picture was taken about 50 years after our first game. Our original stadium was an open top wooden benches stadium that held about 30,000
I feel sorry for bolyn ground
Why?
St James park ⚪️⚫️
Stamford bridge was a speedway track that’s what the oval was round the outside
4:09 You need to update the Tottenham stadium picture. Their new ground is open now.
Highbury and emirates is different stadium, Highbury now became an apartement
Andriesant yeah no shit most of these stadiums are different to the newer ones on here
Yep but the old art deco wall still standing today. People who passed by will remember it.
stamford bridge used to be a 100,000 seater stadium thank you very much
No it didn't. You used to be allowed to have standing areas in football stadiums, meaning you could fit more people in. Following Hillsborough standing areas in the EFL are banned forever.
During the period in Stamford bridges history when it could (legally) hold 100,000 fans, it only had 5,000 seats
Stamford Bridge was 100,000 when the Baseball Ground was 42,000. Both inherently dangerous. I remember crushes and crowds spilling onto the pitch in the ‘60’s and 70’s. The installation of ‘pens’ meant that the Hillsborough disaster was an unfortunate and tragic inevitability. Same with Bradford and the wooden stand. There were 3 at Derby.....and everybody smoked in the 60’s. The only surprise is why nobody saw it coming!
100,000 seats?? actually it was 85 to 90,000 and that was mostly terracing With About 5,000 seats. And Even that was about half the capacity of Hampden Park. You're clueless.
Selhurst Park: Then and Now - almost identical!! :)
The days when chelsea used to have more cars parked behind the goal than spectators!
at least they could make a quick exit when the oppositions 3rd goal went in
