I'm a big Aberdeen fan and a season ticket holder in the Red shed. It is the best place to go for the atmosphere. Give me a shout haha when your up in Aberdeen lol

Hi mate. I'm from malaysia and about the jdt stadium, they've moved to a new stadium last year called the Stadium Sultan Ibrahim. This stadium has just recently finished the construction last year. I've never been to the stadium but it has world class facilities and it has been named as the Stadium of The Year in 2020. Hopefully this helps you mate.

I think the Allianz Arena may surprise you. The guided tour is excellent and the museum does a fantastic job of detailing the club's incredible history.

Kraków, for the derby match which Ross kemp did and it was absolutely crazy. And that team in Serbia who have a tiny close to pitch stands and tiny tunnel. Belgrade red star?

Tbh... I'm so surprised to see JDT be in your bucket list....me myself from SEA low key ngl I'm very proud...🤘🤘

I woule also like to visit Aberdeen. Ive done nearly every ground in England and many in Scotland. Just before Covid I started doing European stadiums, places like PSV, Bayern and Leipzig as well as a few in Holland. Keep up the good work Sam and love the videos

My five top matchday experiences (I have been in all of the places before):

1) Borussia Dortmund at Westfalenstadion
2) Galatasaray Home - I loved their old home Ali Sami Yen. Have yet to go to their new homeground.
3) Hajduk Split at the Poljud - Great fans, great atmosphere. The Croatians are a friendly lot.
4) JDT in Johor Bahru. They now play in the new stadium of Sultan Ibrahim Stadium, instead of their old homeground in Larkin - that's now the homeground of Johor's 2nd team... JDTII
5) Persija at the Gelora Bung Karno - Gotta be very careful, people have died watching them before. But to me, the best matchday atmosphere in South East Asia


Special mentions to Eintracht Frankfurt (2nd biggest fanbase in Germany), Urawa Reds (Hardcore fans, their chants are basically following the Italian style), Guangzhou Evergrande (the most maddest football fans in China) and East Bengal (Great fanbase). Great match atmosphere.


One thing, I am an overseas Dortmund fan and the fan communication has been great. We often get to meet our stars and legends and chat with them like three times a year!! And whenever they win a silverware, they usually do a trophy trip around the world.

stadium larkin is actually the old stadium..jdt has a new stadium called sultan ibrahim stadium

My plan for 2021 was visit all the grounds Ipswich played at on the way to winning the UEFA cup in 1981. Covid put paid to that but that has given the plan time to grow to every team we've faced in European football which contains some good places including Aberdeen

I think a lot more people are into geography/flags etc than you might imagine. I always thought I was odd for having an affinity for them until I met other people. I was in Thailand a few years back; would love to go back post covid.

I’m a big fan of Bundesliga right down to the regional leagues. I’ve been lucky enough to visit Dortmund and it is immense but I’d highly recommend Fritz-Walter-Stadium, Kaiserslautern probably one of my favourites so far.

Looking forward to going to see Tennis Borussia Berlin early 2022 all going well with Covid

Malaysia and indonesia fans so crazy with football who world should know

[jasonsmith]

Boca Juniors, River Plate, Dortmund, Napoli and the Maracana are my top five bucket list stadiums yet to visit.

[ibrahimhusmuh]

You're amazing at what you do. Keep it up bro

[ClarkOVision]

Oh you'll love Bayern Munich's. I've had the great pleasure to visit the Allianz Arena... absolutely wonderful place. The trophy "Museum" is insane. A terrific club with a rich history. Cool channel btw. 👍

Hiya Sam, in one of your Celtic Vlogs you said Celtic's record attendance was 83, 000, I've looked in my book and Celtic record attendance is 92, 000 at Celtic Park, it was a game against Rangers I think it was 1938, its the 3rd highest in United Kingdom behind Rangers (118, 567) Queens Park (97, 500) and finally Celtic (92, 000), this is Choppy in Whitehaven in Cumbria

Not very worldwide but Id love a full video on Preston North End around Deepdale or at a match! The first league winners, the first to win the double, the only to do it invincible and without conceding a goal in the cup, and (this is debatable) the oldest still continuously used ground for association football.

[Manchesteru]

Great vids. Was lucky enough to go the superclassico when staying in B.A. I love Boca but the only ticket i could get was with the River fans.. I had to fake enthusiasm for them! Bonkers atmosphere. Would love to see the Cairo Derby.. Ahly vs Zamalek.. Meant to be unreal

[WhiteHartDane]

If you go to Dortmund, pay attention to the small ground next to Signal Iduna Park. It's their original home, Stadion Rote Erde where they played until 1974. Only the old grandstand is missing, as that was moved to Hannover.

[derbydave]

Great stuff Sam, I'd say Hearts are comfortably the 3rd biggest club in Scotland ..OK ..5 stadiums .Dynamo Dresden, Anderlecht, Spartak Moscow, Schalke 04 and Feyenoord
