fund their 80 million Striker kids
anyway the other day I saw Everton of
all clubs yes Everton a club based on
community are going to be selling a
50,000 seat in their new stadium and
after a long time spend trying to digest
and get over that it got me thinking

entry a season a ticket that can get you
into every single match day and I have
found them and you'll be shocked at the

anyway we have arrived at Clapton CFC
Club Community football club in London
cuz they do the world's cheapest
football ticket and here's how it works
you can theoretically enter this stadium
for anything you want so if you have one
p you can come inside so technically
there a one p football ticket there are
some culations and hear how they work
General emission is £4 however you can
get in for even cheaper consistently
week in week out if you can meet these
certain criterias be for free tickets
for under 13 and if you're older than 13
and a concession you can pay whatever
you want if you meet these criteria so
if you're under 13 it's free and if
you're a concession you can pay whatever
you want and the concessions are as
follows if you're a Clapton CFC member a
new and Resident a teenager age 13 to 19
someone over the age of 60 a student or
Apprentice a trade Union member someone
who's unemployed or on low income if you
have a disability or health condition or
if you're a refugee Asylum Seeker or
undocumented immigrant and also it's a
complete honor System you don't have to
prove any of these things you just go up
to the gate and say I am a concession
and they will let you in for that price
obviously goes like saying me and Kieran
aren't going to do that today we're
going to pay our £4 general admission or
we're going to become members of the
club and then pay one p to enter but it
is the world's cheapest football ticket
you can consistently get in for whatever
price you want because there are so many
cut bases covered with the concessions
also don't check if you're a concession
or not also if you're watching this and
you're thinking oh you know if you can
afford to pay general admission please
pay general admission it's a great
Community football club that is doing
amazing things for the local area so if
you can afford to pay gation please do
but the fact that they offer the ticket
they offer is ridiculous that it's
unbelievable value so huge shout out to
Clapton CFC that we should get inside

actually
yeah I clapped
them all the time when you go to Europe
there is Ultras groups that are
separated um because of disagreements
whatever I can't imagine that's the case
here but I'm very intrigued by the fact
that a team this low in England has an
ultra section in there and also behind
the goal that feels very um different
for this level of football in know the
comment section can Enlighten myself and
the viewers that would be useful you're
not on the pitch actually it's it's 300
p.m. the blackout yeah Kieran has
thought of a Clapton

clapped in
hands that's yes I think that might
catch on yeah I think that maybe the
coolest thing I've ever
[Applause]
[Music]
done oh I don't know what's being
claimed for over there I think it was a
goal but I was more looking at the the
size of number
nine um for the away team and I love
[Music]
him the hog the
hog
Karen
[Music]
[Music]
[Applause]
that's why they're 18th and that's why
we're fifth shocking defending visible
disgrace to tarah Hamas actually who
says you don't give a money one p one
goal it's bit of a domestic H between
number three and the
Lineo I really hope that becomes
something doing a good job loo doing a
good job I'll tell fre is doing a good
job as well when he comes past you so I
can play Both
Sides I'm playing both sides so I always
come out don't have the Min to have a go
a referee for no reason no I'd want to
be his friend yeah I'm I'm sure to get
more if you're just not
yeah lovely day isn't it Lio really nice
day yeah was so embarrassing I thought
uh we're just recording in general but I
was more just wanted to make you looked
on your own it's lovely day
yeah sometimes I want to curl up and
ball in a ball and die at my own CR
someone tweet me the other day like
you've got a big opinion of yourself
have I I don't think anyone hates me
more than
me subscribe for more
fun crazy deep the defender here is the
first one ever seen actually get annoyed
one of the players said leave it and the
defender lost his head and said you
can't say that which I know technically
you can't but also you can't say that
anymore no not 2024 so me and Kieran got
an ice cream each he got a Guinness I
got a diet of Pepsi and it came to
£960 phenomenal obviously amaz our cheap
days is here and I really encourage
anyone to get down here to get involved
and watch the food and drinks really
cheap as well and some amazing food
options as well but like these trips
across the season have got very
expensive which hasn't been as much as a
burden thanks to the season sponsor
momento as you may already know I love
every football match and sports game
past and present on the momento app as
you can see on screen here's this
season's efforts it's been a slog
recently as you can see on your screen
they' released a momento editor a tool
that allows fans on the app to add
momentos Sports and leagues to support
that aren't already in the database
which is really cool because you can
customize and make your own momentos
which is sick it means you can become
much deeper in the pyramid for example
Clapton FC for example their existing
database supports all a racy game
starting with the 1999 season so if you
wanted to add a momentum from a game you
attended before the 1999 season you can
use momento Editor to add it so for
example as you can see on screen let's
say PSV versus ax in 1998 you can make
the momento yourself and add it in as
I've done so here also if you are new
here and haven't really seen the app
it's a free app on IOS and Android that
allows you to log and track every sports
game you've been to across football
baseball American football NFL
basketball loads of sports across the
world and you can basically track and
show which games you've been to which is
so so cool especially in a day where
tickets are dying it's the perfect
companion for a away days if you do this
yourself you're going to want to get
momento you can also use it to fix venue
errors and in the future be able to add
games from leagues and sports they don't
currently support such as rugby and
Cricket also every momentum you make you
can customize a photo of yourself in the
day look at me and Kieran at Clapton
today we look lovely make sure to check
our M at the top of the description it's
free on both IOS and Android and a huge
thanks again to them for sponsoring this
video and the editor is a game changer
number nine who we pointed out earlier
for the away team has just scored an
absolute Banger from about 40
yards good luck
