Legendary combo here. You should do a series, as you are both lovely people who don't take things too seriously. Good vibe to watch on a Sunday evening. God bless
Nieve has such a fun, down to earth personality, she's a great companion for this series. Not really giving a shit about football I would never have been introduced to her without Robbie. For the same reason I wouldn't have known about Robbie if it wasn't for putting the bins out or a wormery or something.
You two are brilliant together. So glad I found your channels. You bring some much needed calm and charm (I'll let you decide who is which) to the world. Thank you.
Bridge inn is my local, sandal castle is a stone throw away from my house, can see belle vue ground from my window, its brilliant to see people come to our city and enjoy it! Love wakey and living here
Literally saw you both while I was on the bus near trinity walk lol. Was wondering why you was in Wakefield I thought they must have got lost on the way to leeds lol.
Wakefield is actually where the word 'nonce' originated (or Wakefield prison to be more exact). It was an acronym that stood for Not On Normal Courtyard Exercise and was written on the cell cards of prisoners who may have been at risk of being attacked by other prisoners (and the meaning of the word kind of gives away the reason why...)
What about the empty boarded up shops opposite the cathedral, we once had a thriving market, long gone, we had shops, long gone, all that is left an empty shopping centre, Trinity new "shopping centre" main shop Debenhams gone, The Ridings, again once a thriving shopping centre, gone we are left with a city full of charity shops, coffee shops, empty buildings, homeless on the streets, have lived Wakefield most of my life a once pround city gone to pot.
Belle Vue ...remember enjoying the rugby league games in the early 80s despite the bone chilling cold, biting wind and horizontal rain. Very true what you say, the centre is quite small but there are lots of interesting things to do within an easy 5 or 6 mile radius. The coal mining museum is really worth a visit, maybe 20 minutes on the bus from Westgate station! 🚌
I have lived in Wakey since 1998 and adore its charms. When i arrived, it had a night life second to none and a historical backdrop that needs to be remembered can you name me a city that has more pubs in a straight mile. Wakefield is rough but it is also beautiful
It's a shame you couldn't have visited 50 years ago when Wakefield was a bustling market town and people came by the tripload to visit. Sorry though, wrong Richard! It was Richard the 3rd Duke of York who died at Wakefield and not King Richard III, he died at the battle of Bosworth Field in 1485. King Richard III was also the Duke of Gloucester. The Battle of Wakefield took place in December 1460 (I almost remember it well,).
I've been here about 23 years. It's not the worst place to live. I love all the nature around. But could be more job opportunities and less arseholes 😂.
if theres ever a cause to get behind its lady Stuntpegs fight to bring the meal deals down to 3 pounds!!! Nieve is so funny! yet another great video Mr Knox!
I rejected cauliflower when I started to have middle-class girlfriends and moved over to broccoli . After decades I decided I had , Had enough of pretending to be a broccoli lover. And reclaimed my working class devotion to the cauliflower long before it became the new middle-class cauliflower steak frenzy
@@RobbieKnox maybe now but in late 80s and the 90s , the broccoli was the new kid on the block beloved of the middle-class Cauliflower was clearly the working class vegetable.
A'reyt Robbie. I am a StuntPegg subscriber living near Wakefield, though from Bradford originally, on the other side of the Rhubarb Triangle, which I was surprised you missed. Please bring Nieve back to do a Five Towns video, as I enjoyed this. It could be like a Rugby League excursion for her. My home district, Manningham, were the first champions, but are now Bradford City. Welcome to my world. You could contact Catherine Warr for some local knowledge?
I'm from Wakefield, lived in Yorkshire all my life. That "Sculpture" is the most pointless thing about Wakefield. I always end up in a debate about it. . 😂😂 The council spent 200k on that horrendous "sculpture". Money that should have gone elsewhere, Wakefield is extremely run down full of homelessness, drugs, you name it. But I love the North and I love Yorkshire it's my shithole. ❤ It's NOT a football club it's a rugby club! 😂 Wakefield Trinty and Coal mining museum is in South Yorkshire, Barnsley. Love all the videos! J.
16:19 I was actually surprised (and quite relieved) that Wakey Wines didn't make the video, especially considering Nieve obviously knows about it. Wakefield is top 5 nicest cities in Europe, glad you enjoyed it.
If you’d have gone down manygates lane you should have sung the song The Grand old Duke of York and would have seen his plinth where the Duke of York died down from the castle, in my old school Manygates middle school.
if you do stoke-on-trent, you have to do Trentham Bakehouse, you can walk along the canal to get there, quite a nice walk - used to be me and my uni friends sunday treat
As a wakefield native, its surreal seeing the underappreciated (not really) locations i frequent often being represented in a huge piece of media such as a Robbie Knox video. All we had before was a brief mention in the M. Night Shyamalan movie Signs.
If im a medieval castle, I can't speak because I'm a castle might be the greatest quote on this channel only rivalled by Jaackmaate had sex with a horse.
You should’ve gone and tracked down the incredible George Green, of Wakefield . It’s certainly a mission that I want to undertake. He seems to be the big cheese in the fish and chip world.
should of come to pontefract nearby. we have a better castle. a big park area and race course. we used to have 2 greggs across from eachother but now its all barber shops. the only haribo factory outside germany was here but its partly moved to castleford now and pontefract cakes are rank. we used to have the most pubs in a square mile in the uk, but we dont now. ummm , harold shipman worked here..... in fact dont bother its shit. we used to be a proper town
Did you see the mice carved into the cathedral pews? For next time Wakefield has lots of great fish and chip shops - it's tradition to sit outside the cathedral and feed the pigeons scraps..
This is a series we have to see 🔥 get Barnstaple on the list - you’ve never heard of it but the history there would shock you, used to have it’s own language, used to be a bigger port than Liverpool. Now nothing 😆 Jo Brand described it as the only place in Devon that’s not posh (I raise you Torquay and Brixham but there we are)
I can’t wait to visit Wakefield. I’m a Wakefield Trinity Rugby League fan. Can’t wait to see them play in person. I wear my Wakey kits everywhere. I live outside of Los Angeles. We’re coming up next season.
I enjoyed that, but you’ve got a really serious mustache, and the lady reminds me of one of those ladies that comes around every generation that’s just something very different , the sort of girlfriend a semi intellectual oddball dreams about .
The main question i have from this after having travelled through Wakefield Westgate station and now seeing the cathedral is in Northgate is whats in eastgate and southgate ?
Cathedral is not in Northgate it’s in the city centre, Northgate has Queen Elizabeth grammar school and goes our towards Outwood and the M1 to Leeds. Southgate goes out to Doncaster and Barnsley Road Road.
Robbie you and Nieve would be a great pair presenting a travel programme.
Yh but you can't have two robbies in the title, whoever the other one is
@@teejay9881haha
Yes he’s very good and funny 👌

She’s terrific.
@@RobbieKnox is Nieve your girlfriend or just a friend? she is amazing either way you are lucky to have her :)
This is my favourite collab on RUclips. Loved the previous one too. More, please!
You’re very kind!
Neive is so naturally funny
Great chemistry. Could watch you two visiting anywhere!
Aw, thanks Dan.
You two are brilliant together. So glad I found your channels. You bring some much needed calm and charm (I'll let you decide who is which) to the world. Thank you.
Aw, bless. I assume Nieve is both calm and charm.
Don't underestimate yourself mate...@@RobbieKnox
Enjoyed every moment! Classic cross-over that I'd be glad to see more of!
Bridge inn is my local, sandal castle is a stone throw away from my house, can see belle vue ground from my window, its brilliant to see people come to our city and enjoy it! Love wakey and living here
Would love Nieve to become like Becky, a Robbie Knox regular! Love your chemistry!
A fantastic tag team if there ever was one. I could watch you two bimbling around anywhere.
Great aren’t they, so well matched to go on these adventures.
Literally saw you both while I was on the bus near trinity walk lol. Was wondering why you was in Wakefield I thought they must have got lost on the way to leeds lol.

Nieve has got to be one of the funniest personalities on RUclips, what a gal.
You guys are great together. Please do more collabs! Also, thank you for introducing me to the Too Good To Go app.

Not Nieve's normal stuff but I really enjoyed what you put together. Wakey is so understated. (And so are you two!).
Love when you and Nieve collab!
that was thoroughly enjoyable.
I love Nieve and apparently I love Robbie too
Please give this lady a job in the media working in football..Very talented and knows her stuff, great video thanks 👍
Come to Barnsley!! Not a city but would love a Robbie Knox review
Justice for Rochester!! Great video, more Robbie and Stunt Pegg.
I have lived in Wakey since 1998 and adore its charms. When i arrived, it had a night life second to none and a historical backdrop that needs to be remembered can you name me a city that has more pubs in a straight mile. Wakefield is rough but it is also beautiful

This video is extremely surreal seen as though I’ve watched Robbie for years and live about 2 minutes outside the city centre. Great vid.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great pairing! same humor. hope you do more collabs!
Looks like my ancestors left Britain a nice city.
___________
Yes, my real name.
Blessings.
Nothing wrong with Wakefield or "Wakey" to the locals, its given us a legend that is Jane McDonald
I've been here about 23 years. It's not the worst place to live. I love all the nature around. But could be more job opportunities and less arseholes 😂.
I'm not sure I can describe what "Wife Material" means, but I know Nieve definitely fits the bill. She's lovely. :3
if theres ever a cause to get behind its lady Stuntpegs fight to bring the meal deals down to 3 pounds!!! Nieve is so funny! yet another great video Mr Knox!
She’s amazing!
I thought it was so cool the way you played the jazz guitar at Nieve in order for her to be able to eat her cauliflower.
It worked.
I rejected cauliflower when I started to have middle-class girlfriends and moved over to broccoli . After decades I decided I had , Had enough of pretending to be a broccoli lover.
And reclaimed my working class devotion to the cauliflower long before it became the new middle-class cauliflower steak frenzy
I think both cauliflower and broccoli can live side by side, irrespective of class.
@@RobbieKnox maybe now but in late 80s and the 90s , the broccoli was the new kid on the block beloved of the middle-class Cauliflower was clearly the working class vegetable.

I thought that the grand old Duke of York had 10,000 men? :)
Niece is so funny, I didn’t really know if her before the pod, but she’s great
thank you my daugter lives there and loves it, she grew up in Vanvouver, BC
I used to live in Vancouver! Great city!
Nieve has that classical slapstick kind of comedy that is sorely missed
16:19 I was actually surprised (and quite relieved) that Wakey Wines didn't make the video, especially considering Nieve obviously knows about it. Wakefield is top 5 nicest cities in Europe, glad you enjoyed it.
Top 5 nicest cities in Europe 😂😂🤥
The Bridge Inn is in a lovely location right on the Canal. It was called The Ruddy Duck previously and they did decent stonebaked pizza.
If you’d have gone down manygates lane you should have sung the song The Grand old Duke of York and would have seen his plinth where the Duke of York died down from the castle, in my old school Manygates middle school.
This lass is really funny. Such dry humour.

We had a lovely time there!
You should go to Newark-on-Trent, a small market town in Nottinghamshire.
Those cheese straws from cooplands are phenomenal. 10/10 would recommend
If im a medieval castle, I can't speak because I'm a castle might be the greatest quote on this channel only rivalled by Jaackmaate had sex with a horse.
stuntpegg is so sweet and funny ❤
She’s excellent!
Nieve is so funny, she’s like the new Diane Morgan
Wakefield is the only place that's made me happy to get home to Peterborough.
Nieve really is just getting better and better with age 😵💫
You should go to Hawes and then visit the highest pub in Britain at Tan Hill
You should’ve gone and tracked down the incredible George Green, of Wakefield . It’s certainly a mission that I want to undertake. He seems to be the big cheese in the fish and chip world.
I don't know about Wakefield but I've just been to York and it's gorgeous. 😍
Visit Ripon, it's apparently a city.
I’m from liverpool and have lived in Wakefield for eight years, what a dump, it’s the land time forgot
I live in Wakefield and I couldn't agree more.
Nieve is awesome
She’s so great.
Cooplands Cheese straws bang
Was a decent straw.
We NEED to see Hull, I’ll send you a mundane list of things that are here to go and see
should of come to pontefract nearby. we have a better castle. a big park area and race course. we used to have 2 greggs across from eachother but now its all barber shops. the only haribo factory outside germany was here but its partly moved to castleford now and pontefract cakes are rank. we used to have the most pubs in a square mile in the uk, but we dont now. ummm , harold shipman worked here.....

we meet again fella, you watch these videos often haha?
@@jat2319 Ha. Yeah. Going on a trip and packing my Wakey kit. Shocker against Toulouse.
Love the Tach. Robbie's is good too.
Robbie you need to come to the old Capital of England, Winchester!
Lived in knottingley and used to go to Wakefield all the time…it’s fine
Great video. Of course, the spicehead running past screaming wakey wines is to round it out and sums up the city's people
Please do Winchester next
Stop going on bloody mondays
I need to learn my lesson.
Just run by a woke council !!
Keep it up robadillio
As a man from Wakefield, who hasn’t yet watched I shall answer for you. No it is not good x
Succinct. I admire that.
I enjoyed that, but you’ve got a really serious mustache, and the lady reminds me of one of those ladies that comes around every generation that’s just something very different , the sort of girlfriend a semi intellectual oddball dreams about .
Of course there is the downside she seems to possess a passion for football !!!
Do Huddersfield next!!!
Come to Ripley (Derbyshire one), most English town, also high up on worst towns in the uk 😂
Missed out not doing the coal mining museum
Hi Robbie. Let me know if you're up this way again & i'll show you around Todmorden & Hebden Bridge. Take care
Should have gone Barnsley
Pls get Ed Chapman on this series !
Rubbish at rugby 🏉 great video as ever
Unreal scenes
Would imagine there is more to do than on a Monday in manningtree
York Minster _is_ a cathedral because it's the seat of the Archbishop of York.
Lloyd Griffith is a liar then.
Anymore ski videos coming bruv?
Currently in the Alps!
@@RobbieKnox baller, looking forward to it. Big mountains no kidz 4 !

You don't wanna know its a sh.t hole they didn't show u for a reason
Have you really been to Wakefield if you haven’t seen Jane McDonald’s star in the walk of fame pavement?
How are the kebabs in Wakefield?
If they don’t have any football team it must be rubbish😂 Awesome video though. StuntPegg singing was amazing btw👏
After seeing manning tree on here i didnt expect to see wakefield 😂 there is levels to this game wakeys practically a city with alot about it
its a rugby league stadium
The centre of Wakefield is dull and depressing.
What does Ringo know about real life in Wakefield?🤗
Literally just what’s in the video pal.
Rhubarb
How can you go to Wakefield and not go to the mining museum.
Too far out of Wakey to properly count.
Yes to be fair it is a bit on the outskirts.
Why the hell have you gone to shakey wakey 😂
Can someone set me and Neive up on a date please 🙏 fit and loves football
How old is Nieve? Matthew Kelly stopped presenting Stars in Their Eyes in 2004 (after the charges were dropped)
