ON THE ROAD - DRONFIELD TOWN

on the road yet back again and all right compose yourself um this is huge massive it's ground number 100 for the on the road series and when i was thinking about this and where we could possibly go you know you think about the anfields and james's parks the old trafford pop up to scotland see celtic or rangers diving in spain with real madrid germany brewster dortmund there's so many iconic grounds out there that i still haven't been to but at the same time people have such high opinions on some of these clubs rival fans why'd you go there for grant 100 should've gone here so i picked somewhere where quite frankly the majority of people wouldn't mind and actually it's a real classy touch because today i'm off to sheffield you've done shifted wednesday sheffield united then no today i'm off to name sheffield fc they're the world's first ever football club meaning they were founded in 1857. at cambridge university we have something to say about that pipe down posh boys this isn't your time anyway they currently find themselves in the northern premier league east division eight years down from the premier league step four of non-league and ironically they don't play in sheffield just outside it's the toughness home of football stadium which has a total capacity of 2089 250 which are seated but absolutely not heated all right so i've been behind this yellow van for what seems an eternity now but you're turning right into grey's epsilon stadium but it's not stadium anymore it's a has an estate my local football team that i grew up watching still don't have a home come on get in there because right about now we're gonna head down here to the eighth wonder of the world it's the whip restriction that nobody wants to go through quite clearly because there's nobody down here right now only the bravest of brave brave this every day people want to take the shortcut through greys and every day they bottle it no no i don't want to go down there the whip restrictions that way in it it's too narrow absolute peasants in my hometown and whilst we wait for this red light should we do it yeah it's the top comments of the week come to zack the best way to start a week is seeing smith post on twitter that new on the road is going up tonight keep it up nice one zach yeah sometimes youtube's a funny one videos go missing they get buried yeah make sure you follow me on twitter because everything i post does go on there jacob got in touch after i asked you guys to uh send me your club legends jacob here's obviously a southland fan because he's mentioned freddie eastwood obviously scored that free kick against man united in the carling cup yeah surf and have 100 win rate against may knighted that's a fact and another fact is freddy eastwood actually came from we've already mentioned them it's my locals grow's athletic we are massive finally the top top top comment of the week wasn't predictable was it uh this is big smooth my friend would have been easy just to enjoy the football yourself so as someone who will probably never see till bfc play at home thanks for taking us along you guys so as beyonce gives to the green light we get to go through this beautiful piece of thing look at us we're just brave we go through it no need to be scared big shout out to en13 dvc on the other side a fellow brave soldier waiting to go through the whip restriction the nobody wants to go through the other way anyway moments later we pull into the complex which is only notable to one individual nobody else matters maybe he's misses and the cats don't forget the cats starting route to sheffield fc three hours let's go but before we do we need to get tanked up at the morrison's pump someone sent me a load of money to buy a new car so i'd have to keep pumping out diesel today's full tank costs oh there's no money more than that need some other bits as usual charlie's getting a coffee i actually do this to annoy you guys i'm so sorry but it's uh it's a promo sandwich and there's the months and months go by they still got the sour cream and onion pringles in a small version so once again we're gonna get the big ones also helping them clear the christmas stock jesus charlie made a mess is tagging us up otr with the addition of some water i've just spent 68 pound 95 on everything ever i had a few of those in my day let's go sheffield but not sheffield derbyshire i think and first leg of the journey is the big bad boy in 25 obviously dot com forward slash let's go it's a lovely day by the way blue sky a couple of clouds but charlie tells me the further north we get it's gonna get colder it's gonna get cloudy it's probably most likely gonna rain too that'll be all right let's take the m1 we're actually making really good time he's been very chilled if you sit behind water which means we have enough time to stop off in the services normally if we're running late and hold charlie hostage and say that he's got to piss himself but today we're fine off you go and just like that we're back on the road get back again as we enter northamptonshire i'm a big fan huge fan massive fan of these and just as we see a sign for sheffield which we're not going to exactly it rains it it it does so satis navies has just told us to take this exit and then this one oh my god it's crap up here really crap on our left we've got a very helpful sign that says there's 531 spaces available in a car park in chesterfield actually chesterfield was a lot further than this so if this is local to here then yeah i'll be going soon don't you worry but as the rain continues and we go down this hill sheffield sc is on our right watch out to do a little ue but left into here we go where this white van is leaving what are you leaving mate you've got a football going on if we pull into the car park not many cars i have to say it's non-leg attendants might not be that high and everyone they might be just local and i've walked in but walked in the rain surely not how did you know they're prop rider an elephant they are southern fairies we just don't understand not quite sure what's going on here but if it classes as evidence for a missing person i'm happy to uh submit that it's not a problem never knows what charlie just discovered amazing he is well happy for himself anyway i better be not very busy this is probably why that's some gold mouth has it been postponed because there's no one here there's literally no one here check twitter game yep game off just traveled three hours and this was put up at ten to two bit late lads i mean we've been in this situation before but never this close to kickoff where was it stansted but we found another game didn't we yeah where could we find about another game didn't we just five minutes around the corner today we're off to name drumfield town we were founded in 1998. my country found themselves in the northern counties eastleigh division one which i think don't quote me i think it's step six of non league ten down from the premier league i think it's the lowest we've ever been the grammar visiting today is stone low playing fields which has a capacity of 500 only 80 of which are seated i really had high hopes for on the road 100 but hey who am i to write this off i already know it's not going to be 20 stars we know that but we might unearth an individual gem within this place who what would it be you don't know yet we park up on this residential street we take the two minute walk to the ground we've got queues for a non-league game love it get this right just pay the fiverr to get in and i grabbed a raffle ticket that's another pound no turnstile here though no click click click click but today's lucky number is 55. first stop men's well if you want to clean up cupboards there if you want to do it yourself not really just work a bit of toilet cleaner in here that'll do next up back outside to see what's going on here a mini pitch for the kids on the left and a big pitch for the men just at the back on this little stand here must be where the eight seats are time to queue for where the snack bar the attempt to brighten the place up is there they're trying and just like that we've got two teams and a load of mascots on their way out strongfield town in the red halam fc are in the yellow and what a kit that is by the way it's literally the same template as the 1986 spurs shirt and being a spurs fan i very much appreciate this software gun i'm surprised not one person has slipped over on the concrete it must have happened before it must have alright maybe as we continue to queue the game has now kicked off whilst we cure get a good look at the food menu and drinks menu 50p for an icelandic but wait that's why i need to halo in the yellow the top of the league by the way anyway front of the queue what we all doing uh chillicon carney please call him this is great banter no chili con carne i grabbed a pie out of a bottle of cheesy chips to share and that will come to the outstanding price of food and holding all of that was never going to work we found a table in the pissing rain as we knock all of this back lovely i'm told the right way to eat your pie is actually upside down and i'll tell you what it actually works well i'm cold i don't have a hat let's go and find a hat currently find myself in a mini clubhouse where i can see some drum filter merchandise consider paying 13 quid for a bath sheet that might help i'll stick with the bobbler hand-picked by kathy as well thank you so much my dear this could be a bit warmer just spent ten pound on a hat also keeping this one today is the bottle as well yeah should i bring you some football football yeah interesting around this one very small shelter just there a couple of benches over the other side you can't get around there though three-sided ground there's actually more action going on in this pitch at the moment but what i would say is the flag girl's quite decent for this gaffe i was expecting chipotle's for days i found a chipper lie it's a halfway line flag fascinating stuff it has to be said why are they even there we don't need them i think it probably dates back to the olden days it's voluntary now kind of just signals where the halfway line is but we've got that maybe it's bearings for the referee i don't know because this crosslash shot goes bouncing over it hits the shelter actually comes bouncing and rolls towards us and uh the big reveal is well should this be a miter anyone that gets hit by it today is is gonna suffer big time what is it it's a miter it's actually so cold up here today that the uh the bottle's not keeping me warm oh wait helen for two we could have been helen for two but it wasn't talking about hallam not as old as sheffield fc which was our intended place today but three years younger 1860 one of the originals and they do have the world's oldest football ground so that's certainly something now it could be two still giving it away two nil i'm freezing where the drum fill town gloves i mean right about now this could be freeze it could be fours as he added that back from a corner it could even be five does this one rolls past the post there's a lot of ground and have a swig in my bottle he's got one back missed it but two one oh my god i'm shaking should have laid out more like this man oh yes game on oh and then half time it's um yeah it's been all right oh no oh no can you hear the despair of my voice we've gotta go get another bottle that's past the non-existent hand sanitizer probably in that cupboard in the toilet but it's into the mini clubhouse we go where we're gonna order actually turn up for the books hot chocolate same cup though one pound let's get one keep finding these big wagon wheel tables i feel very vip at non league these are actually something else i think they're like a farming thing i've been googling for ages and i can't find it so if anyone wants to explain what these are actually let me know drop me a memory because you don't know either would you look at that dog at a football which leads us beautifully into this second half two one all to play for let's go my friends it's time to take this hot chocolate and get closer to the action it's football three shifting the warehouse at five got i love a welly so we have absolutely got close to the action haven't we right behind a goal good save i actually chose this thing because i predicted that most the action will be down here whilst wearing my drum filled town hat i am actually amongst the hannah fans yeah what shift you want tonight oh 12 hours for me how about you no just the eight for me you lucky bastard i was going to do a compilation of how many times this caper grabbed a drink it was literally off the charts i don't know if he's first there i think he just might be habit well the ball's not down here i don't know what to do maybe take a swig davey's just plucked a banana out of his pocket and he joins the hundreds of people that have come down to stone low playing fields today i actually do think a lot of these people are neutral after the sheffield game was cancelled but drop your town make money money make money money how that's all i've got to say and then look the ball's in the back of the air i was just trying to take a photo to football to football and it didn't pay off [Music] sneaky this one charlie's got this right in there he's actually becoming very skilled in the sticker department no lumps no bumps perfect application and you can get yours from getbackage.com spread the word oh my god a fight the keeper takes a swig then someone from the home side has been sent off my camera's decided to focus on the net cutting edge content here [Music] don't forget the stretch look at that i think there's more than just water in here feel free to leave your guesses in the comments below and goalkeepers if you're watching let us know what you put in your bottles today we welcome this lino to the family the human ruder family because of course look great posture straight as a well ruler dave just for his banana down there but it's fine it's natural so that will decompose [Music] what i don't know what was here but all i know is it's three one to hallow and it should be four maybe oh he's got a reggie oh he's got a reggie substitution time but no digital sub spells down here just the plastics but that's fine that's fine you know what it's time for a walk we're gonna get around the other end where granddads are abusing players verbally it's that time people every non-leg roundings are part of crap if i didn't feel vip before i do now we've made it under the tiny shelter incredible incredible we've seen a lot of drum fields keeper here's helen's a close-up of that corner flag and then from way downtown [Music] it's free too the comeback's on surely not surely not one man that's given up on the comeback already is this man here substituting smaller than charlie in fact there's hardly any support on their bench gotta beat that russian yeah i understand helen bench however stacked absolutely stacked and with that no late late action scoring three two to harlem [Applause] that might have been the biggest cheer of the day which signals obviously we can go away alright mate fantastic i enjoyed that thank you drum field town for not having a correct pitch or more like one that doesn't get waterlogged oh yeah it's good drainage here good drainage anyways we might buy every should we rate this experience i think we should let's i'll read let's start off with atmosphere it was never going to be amazing was it we did hear a little bit from hallam but it wasn't bouncing one and a half facilities got to think about the level that we're at it's always relative remember that people to be fair it's not a bad little ground chamber can't get round the far side i like the feeling of walking down to a pitch that's quite cool top marks for effort on the shelter for sure keep the kids entertained on the mini pitch and big wooden tables which are definitely used for something else but i can't remember but i'm sure the comments are gonna be flooded with it facilities three and a half stars like it food and drink too cold for the ice lolly wasn't it there's a steak pie and cheesy chips to share the steak player we had some good players up north this one didn't really wow me and then the cheesy chips again no wow factor just nice nice pie nice chips the bottle was okay the hot chocolate was okay everything was all right we'll go with three three stars fight over talking cost isn't it obvious five pounds to get in five pound fifty spent on food and drink add another quid for the hot chocolate a pound for the raffle don't forget the bobble hat ten pound is twenty two pound fifty spent and i kind of wave something i can keep memories and a bobble hat brilliant five stars which gives non-league steps six side drum field town a total of 13 stars and that sandwiches you nicely between premier league side west ham united and brentwood town in the non-league keep doing what you're doing so as we leave the ground it wasn't what we was expecting today it's nice to drop down even lower in the pyramid and show you what's going on now i did actually put a photo football at the football up in the end and of course you were commented dare me to put you in the video hopefully you see your comments one of those comments that you dare me to put chili con carne in the video already done it mate already done it because we get the hell out of here and drive three hours south i've just realized that raffle we've had problems with raffles in the past football clubs you've got to announce these things otherwise no one's going to know and if you did announce it i didn't hear it did i check on twitter of course i did was it on twitter no it wasn't did i ask on twitter yes i did was i aired absolutely it makes me want to set up raffle gate industries limited where we tackle football clubs that take money but don't announce the raffle winner i'm sure for the most part it's a communication error but we must help football clubs get better at raffles we must we must we absolutely must anyway i've got a three-hour drive home to turn that idea in my head into a solid one in the meantime for you guys if you enjoyed this video drop a like we always ask for 10 000 likes it's not happening for a while please support the channel it helps us more than you know so if you
