Hi, love your videos
Legend
Good luck mate, your not the only ones in this situation😢
This is an all timer away days video. Alfie losing his head in the arcade, The production, the interviews, the result. The goal scorer. Iris as the song choice as the cherry on top
He absolutely bottled the machine in fairness
top 5 all time away days videos.
great to see those fans so happy for once.
Love that!
Thank you for your coverage over my club, I go to every game, have met loads of people I would consider friends through the club, It was also lovely meeting you and Alfie
Good luck to yas, I share the pain
I remember seeing your Alison Becker video 😂
There owners owned a top tier rugby team (Worcester warriors) and asset stripped them until they had no money and went into liquidation back in 2022 or 2023. They are banned from owning any rugby club and tbh should be banned from morcambe too
Yeah the EFL are w*nkers. Our owner had already sunk to clubs before and been denied ownership of Hull city who where prem at the time and yet the EFL let him buy us.
Yeah - they are absolute scumbags. They took a steady rugby club and allegedly sold all the assets including the training facilities and the land around the stadium including the car park massively below market value to themselves
Private equity firms should be banned from everything, they just should not exist.
that is genuinely insane wth
A familiar football story sadly.
As a Morecambe fan who lives in Berlin, this gave me so much nostalgia. Supporting a club with the lowest wages and finances is part of the course, but let's get an owner that cares! Thanks so much for opening this up to the rest of the world Ellis! Up the Shrimps
Best of luck with a potential takeover! 🫡
As Fleetwood’s media officer; this was painful. But thank you for using our right logo.
Honestly, absolutely shocked we did
Love Fleetwood, proper club
This is a demonstration of the progression the channel has made. Excellent content telling a story to loads that won’t have known about it. Keep it up!
Thankyou Chris!
Videos like this are why people luv this channel
The sir on the interview is one of the reasons why football is such a great thing in life it makes me happy to see that there are people who care about the teams although they might be unsuccessful. These people are the reason why football is big
Thank you Mustafa!
As a Morecambe fan I hold my breath waiting to get the news of a new owner. Each week it never happens and we fail. If Morecambe FC go down the town will have a massive impact.
Thought this was Reading. It’s a shame Morecambe are in the same sort of situation as us. Hope we can both get new owners before the start of next season that actually care about the club and the community.
Good luck to them for the rest of season.
😭😭😭😭😭
Fair play
That result and song at the end seeing the locals from young boys and girls to old woman all full of joy was beautiful
Football clubs are huge part of a community
Haha got emotional watching it 😂😂
This was my club (Torquay Utd) last season and now we have new owners (who are actual fans of the club) and the club have regained over a 1000 lost fans a game. So there is always hope.
Great video Ellis (and Alfie) this is why the channel continues to grow.
I'm not a Morecambe fan, but i'm from the area so I certainly have a passing interest in the club - Who are so important for the local community. The club itself has a real opportunity for growth in the coming years (Eden Project North opening in Morecambe, Lancaster Uni bringing funding into the area etc), so it'll be a great asset for the right owner. I had no idea the atmosphere was so good though, what a brilliant set of fans!
Traditionally and recently Morecambe have had a strong dislike for my club as have we with them, but this video is class and shines light on a situation that no club should go through. Great vid
Ellis becoming the investigative correspondent for football clubs with crook owners is not what I had on my bingo card for 2025 but I’m here for it. Well done lad, keep up the great work.
I remember really liking Morecambe as the 2nd game I ever went to was Coventry vs morecambe when they won 2-1. I remember loving there badge more than anything 😂 Big up Ellis for raising awareness on there situation
You know you’re going to have a great day when there’s an AwayDays upload
🫡🫡
Should do reading, one of the most historic English clubs, horrible circumstances at the moment
Thanks for the awareness, cant do this sh*t much longer
It would be great. Getting sick of the back and forth between Dai Yongge and everyone else.
Reading SHOULD have been easy to sell, but with the hotel sold off/ground sold off/car park sold off all that anyone would be buying is debt and rent bills. Madejski created a viable and sustainable club. ASSET stripping has killed it. TBH,anyone thinking of buying would 100% WANT the ownership of the ground AND the revenue streams from the Hotel/car park etc. Bad owners ASSET STRIP. STOP asset stripping,you might just have a solution to some of the games worst problems.
@@infrasleep And were all just helpless watchig our club be torn apart
@Footy13s drown ya sorrows at purple turtle lad
as a swansea city fan who grew up in an era of financial uncertainty, this story mirrors what we went through 24 years ago. an owner who couldnt care and wouldnt sell, the club in heaps of debt and in the end, it was the swans supporters trust who ended up completing a consortium to buy out the club. 10 years later the club were in the premier league. hopefully the morcambe fans reading this can see this as a sign of hope and fingers crossed they avoid danger come the end of the season!
I've an uneasy feeling we're going to see something similar again mate. hope I'm wrong obviously
Grimsby town supporter here, never really one to say if I like or dislike other clubs, but Morecambe are one of the few I don't mind at all, smart little ground, good loyal supporters who have always made some good noise whenever they've come to blundell park, I hope they stay up, really do 👍
As a Bury fan, it's always disheartening seeing another club struggle like this. It hurts a little more, as Morecambe were always a pleasure to come up against when we were in the EFL.
Clubs like this are the backbone of what the English game was built on. There's a lot to do around the country so more clubs don't end up like Bury in tier 9 of the pyramid.
On a brighter note, moments like this video give you hope!
All the very best of luck to all shrimps going forward!
Where is Bury now on the football pyramid??
@kidssadeqi3423 tier 9 of the pyramid. 8 promotions to the premier league 😂
@@ShakerDylanW oh man you still haven’t gotten promoted, can’t help but feel for you mate. As a Newcastle fan I didn’t mind if my club was relegated and horrible, as long as they were still there I was happy. Big wishes to you guys and I hope you guys get back to the football league 🤝
Jump on a plane to Inverness from London to visit Caley thistle. Everyone knows about what’s going on with them but they’re pulling off one of the greatest “great escapes” I’ve seen.
8:46, that line, with the setting was brilliant 🤣🤣🤣
As a kid i used to go and see morecambe regularly - they were my mum's local team. While i haven't made it to a game in a couple of years, the club still holds a special place in my heart and it hurts to see the club where it is. Pieces of exposure like this can play a huge part in the clubs future as the mainstream media arent interested, so thank you for this video Ellis, all morecambe fans will appreciate this.
My favourite ever Awaydays video. I have a massive soft spot for Morecambe, the people are so friendly & welcoming.
I'm buzzing for Hopey & the rest of the fans, brilliant Ellis.
Legend!
Thank you mate ❤
Ellis pal, this is an absolutely outstanding video. Shows what football is all about, pure love and passion for the people. Thanks for this video, awesome 😍
Thank you so much Jake!
The bottom of League Two can be a very hard place. As a Colchester Utd fan, this is the first year we've been clear of the bottom at this stage of the season for a few years. The National is now a very hard league to get back out of and into the league again - look at Southend - huge support. I thought they would bounce back immediately, but there's a lot of quite big clubs in there now.
Ngl I did start watching this channel a couple of years ago simply for the chance to win a football shirt every week (never did 😂). But little did I know back then that it would be the start of my ‘unmissible ‘ youtube video every week . What a journey it’s been Ellis and what a top bloke you are 👏 up the away days
Exactly the same here. You're a gem Ellis
Glad you stuck around sir!
Watching Ellis smile at the crowd at the end of the match, the whole dackers thing- the man now loves this club and forever keep an eye on them
🦐🦐
Absolutely love it! As I said on X. I’m from America from Tampa,Florida. This is the kind of video that has made me fall in love with the sport as a whole it’s not just a sport and Marketing like it is in America. It’s a way of life, and it apart of the community. And directly impacts the community good or bad. Thank you again for your videos! And my dream now is to go to a game somewhere in the UK! Embrace the moment! Hopefully I will see you there!
US pro teams don’t have jerseys covered in sponsors🤷♂️
If you ever see Ellis hanging outside your football club on a Saturday you know you’re in trouble 😂
Brilliant video Ellis, this is the best piece of media/coverage we’ve had on our situation by some distance. A lot of people won’t know who Morecambe FC are, never mind that we’ve been up for sale so long, so your coverage is so important - thank you!
Good luck to ya
#FUCKTHEEFL
#FOOTBALLHASANOWNERSHIPPROBLEM
These videos always get me😢. Almost lost Livingston FC back in the 2000's, 2010s, and since coming through the dier times, we've had top flight football, cup final appearances, and are now on our way back once again!
Love the channel, up the Awaydays!
love the reading mention and several clubs
20:30 why on earth am I watching this in absolute tears 😭
Made up for the player there 🥹
Dackers is the 🐐
Love the videos mate absolutely brilliant content keep up the good work
I can't point out Morecombe on a map, but I teared when Dackers scored. Lovely game. Lovely edit. Hope it has a happier ending.
Most of your videos are great fun.
A lot of your videos are informative.
This video was touching.
Thank you for your superb channel!
Proper goosebumps from this one Ellis! Another well put together vid
These get better every time,well done Ellis!
Just wanna say how happy I am to have stumbled upon you guys from watching Luke Pingu almost daily.
As a Yank, the amount of things that I’ve learned about these smaller communities and towns, and how their passion and love for football drives these places is is just incredible. Keep doing what you’re doing because not only are these videos hysterical and educational, but the amount of pure love just shown for the sport instead of the constant clicks for vitriol cause its funny is such a breathe of fresh air. Can’t wait to keep catching up on all the videos. Up the AwayDays. Cheers from Long Island, New York.
Love this. What football is all about - watching those Morecambe fans celebrating is just it!!
The AwayDays curse has been broken, and the revenge arc has begun! Cue the training montage! You were at the beach. You better have gotten the running on the beach scene.
Thank so much for this wonderful vlog on my home town team Morecambe , hopefully it shine a spotlight on what is going on.
Keep up the good work👍
Thank you for covering this Ellis, I’m 30 years old and spent every summer and Easter travelling from Hampshire to Morecambe to visit my grandparents so the whole area and club are really nostalgic for me
The club moved from Christie park which was a real old ground with some charm, I remember falling in love with stadiums when seeing the old floodlights, they also used to hold Liverpool reserve games
Just a insight for Morecambe as a town, they have been granted the Eden project which might turn a old tired town into something worth talking about again in the future, once it’s built please go back!
Side note that the winter gardens is an incredible building and my nan spent her whole life re building this, this alone is worth a trip to Morecambe
Random one as well but the uks biggest family have a tv program set here and own radfords pies which are really good (so is Susan’s pies) if you’re ever in town
Also harrords in London used to sell the Morecambe football clubs meat and potatoe pies 😅
I lived in Morecambe in the 90s, and in Lancaster a couple of miles away. The club was playing a Christie Park, just a short way from the new Stadium. Atkinson's chippy outside it was legendary. They were non league back then, and it was fun going to see them. It’s so sad to see this club, full of great people and fans, being in such a terrible situation.
I was there when Dackers scored🦐🦐🦐 So pleased for him.
This may be one of my favorites you’ve done. I am new to soccer (sorry, “football”😊) and the Shrimps are my new favorite team. As much as I love the random mystery games, you tell a story well. The agony and the ecstasy is the raw joy of sport and you nailed it. Well done.
You can just tell the lad does this because he loves it, it’s a genuine pleasure watching your videos Ellis. You deserve every bit of success that comes to you and your pals. Keep it up 👊🏼🩵
Top video... But to be honest I'm here for the shrimp gags and that delivered too! 🍤🍤🍤
I'm liking these type of videos, showing awareness to clubs that are run badly by owners, ad an fgr fan I feel fortunate with vince(sustainable football club not the person)
All timer Away Days video!
As a Chelsea supporter from Estonia I really wish Morecambe will come out of the dark hole as they are in right now. Much Love ♥
This gave me goosebumps. Great video and another brilliant (and sometimes sad) insight into why football is one of the greatest things on earth
Love it Ellis class to see you come to the northwest 👏
another brilliant video Ellis,
please keep these type of videos coming, not so much the reasoning behind the videos because it’s sad but I understand it needs to be highlighted!! but the style of video looking into smaller clubs and what’s what about them and the fan bases feelings about everything, they’re quality!
As a Crewe fan I feel so much for these teams that end up struggling in league two. It’s rough, and getting out of the national league is even rougher for them. Side note I wanted to add, personally I follow your content for the travel and the banter, the football to me is a second. Don’t know if there’s more like me but keep it up! Seeing more of these places in the UK I’d never think of visiting and abroad locations while ben has a look of confusion and awe on his face will never get old. Keep it up pal
Farsley Celtic enter the room 😂 you did us a few weeks ago I'm a Bradford city fan my sons a Leeds fan so we watch farsley who are in dire straits morecambe' even as a Bradford city fan wish them the best below the championship its community football and thats what it's about seeing old Linda on a Saturday Dave on a cold Tuesday night we check in on each other sod the score best of luck morecambe' xx
Absolutely love these new kind of vids you’re doing! Giving love to the smaller teams etc 🔥🔥🔥
Torquay United fan here . We know this feeling all too well , we were MINUTES away from going out of business last season infact. We went a few years under an owner who made some awful decisions , promised investment but hardly supported the manager. We are now run by our own fans , things are moving steady now.
Took morecombe to the champions league in fifa 20. Was my best team i've ever made, got a 97 rated midfielder. Hope they get new owners soon.
Banger once again. UP THE AWAYDAYS!
I think Red bull should look into buying morecambe and similar struggling clubs , may get better reception then trying to buy leeds etc
Can they look at Tranmere please
@@adamridges Redbull rovers 😂
We already got RB Leeds
@HCpsycho I'm surprised we haven't got RB Manchester yet
@@adamridgesnot even god could save the super white army at this point 😭😭
Like if you think Hopey should feature again, he fits in like Ben or Ed. Would be a good addition to the roster!
ahaha, love this!
The fact Morecambe are putting in a good fight and we, Tranmere, simply aren’t speaks volumes of Morecambe’s side. Just hope we don’t go down as a result 😃
That was defiantly a thing. Fairy-tale stuff. Really enjoyed it. Oh, and the song too.
Videos like this, make me fall in love with football all over again. Stevenage and Orlando City fan
Do an awaydays video with just Alfie and Ben. Love to see the banter between those two. It'd either be funny as hell or just terrible.
As a Native of Buffalo, NY hats off to you good sir for playing The Goo Goo Dolls
I actually got emotional at the end, what a superb game to go to. 2025 will be different!
An excellent video and well presented , thanks .
Seems like Morecambe and Reading are just the latest in a decades long list of clubs that have suffered because of the Football League / EFL negligent rules . Never mind " fit and proper persons " rule for club owners , what about fit and proper persons to run the EFL ?
Was not expecting Ellis to stop by my English club from the town that my Nanna and Papa immigrated from in the 50s. It’s been pure pain for years supporting them thanks for the 3 points. Come to Colorado sometime we would love to have you at the best tailgate in the US.
Another Club is crisis is my club Reading. I fully sympathise with the Morecambe supporters it's such a horrible situation to be in and feels like it's never ending.
What a tragic and awful story that could be so easily avoided it breaks my heart to hear - thank you for raising awareness of the tragic plight.. of people from Great Yarmouth.
Dude, your videos are getting to be unmissable at this point. You've managed to wring genuine emotions out of my cold dead heart.
Please come to Carlisle, have a new manager in mark hughs and sat rock bottom of the efl after being taken over half way through our tour of league 1 been through two managers across 3/4 of the season, the club is currently great in terms of infrastructure with plenty of renovations and entertainment set up. However, football wise is has been dismal for the better part of 2 years.
As a Southend United fan, I know exactly what you're going through. Our old chairman took us to the brink on more than one occasion. Thankfully we had people come in at the last moment. We're picking up slowly hopefully something will come through for you. #ShrimpersTogether
It's videos like this that remind me of why I love football. I'll take the atmosphere of a club like Morecambe over some glamour club any day.
Easily the best video from Awaydays ! Lets save Morecombe up the shrimps
Long time binger of your content mate first time comment.. love what you do for the smaller clubs, all clubs in the football pyramid should be safe from uncertainty.. no one should have what happened to Bury FC .. keep up the great work!
Mystic Ellis calling the Dackers goal. Amazing
👀
Classic Football Shirts need to aquire Morecambe and sign Ben
I second this
Thanks for covering my club, feel like there's been no mainstream coverage at all
As a huge Reading fan, solidarity with Morecambe theyre in a very similar boat. Hopefully something goes right for both of us soon, weve suffered enough
My local club is Southend United, we nearly went under last year because of our owner. This year a consortium took over and we hope to be on the up, so sad to see so many clubs across the country being run into the ground by selfish businessmen
Sigh... Its not just the busnismenn but the EFL aswell. Our owner had already sunk 2 clubs before us and had been denied ownership of Hull city (who were in prem at the time) and the \efl still alowed him to buy us
@Footy13s absolutely mental that. What, do they grade the fit and proper person test on a curve based on the league tier? Denied somewhere should be denied everywhere unless you've got hard evidence to the contrary.
We also had to deal with Dacks trying to win a header, parallels with Morecambe
Ellis you speak like Lenny from Of Mice and Men
Hes gonna unalive curlys wife
@@KingDomsKingdom85😂
😂😂
ben gibbs spotted at 20:59
Great video. I remember going to watch Morecambes’ first game in what was then the conference and I went regularly for a few years before I moved away. Still have the purple and gold away shirt from 95/96 (about then anyway!). Still watch out for them, really hope this one has a happy ending. COYS!!!
❤❤
Love videos like this, Ellis! As an Arsenal fan all my life, it is hard to imagine this happening to clubs. It's really educational to see the other side of football.
I took Morecambe from League 2 to the champions league in my first ever FIFA career mode, emailed the club about it a few years ago (while a little tipsy) and they sent me a t-shirt, all the way to the USA. The thought of the sweet employees who answered a dumb email from America with such grace being fucked over by greed is enraging
What a nice story. You're right. That is enraging
This is a common problem in Macedonia (my other nationality). Half the clubs have gone bankrupt. Even the football team owned by a former football player from Macedonia named “Akademija Pandev” has gone bankrupt and now another company owns it. This is like a bit common in Belgium but for the teams who get relegated to 2nd division and then to third, they just disappear…
Let’s hope Morecambe gets out of this crisis 😢
Again what a brilliant end to a video! Loved it! You called it boys and you delivered 😎
Fancy a double trip of misery? This is me cordially inviting you to a trip to Reading. I'll cover the tickets as long as you match our incredible pain and despair
All the best Morecambe - we're in this together!
Was so sure this was going to be the most jinxed AwayDays video of all time after what happened in the arcade.
Happy to see Morecambe fans getting to celebrate their moment. BIG UP THE DACKERS!
This video is why I absolutely love your channel Ellis, and why we all just adore football. Absolutely incredible to watch. 👏
So glad your duct was broken aswell, finally a win haha 😄
Hope Morecombe pull through this struggle as well, a proper club who don't deserve this 🤝
Facs
#FUCKTHEEFL
#SELLBEFOREWEDIA
That’s why this is the best channel around! Up the awaydays!
Completed the 92 at Morecambe in April. We stood in pretty much the exact same place that you stood in but had a very different experience - they got battered 3-0 and their fans did not seem to enjoy our 'It's Morecambing home' sign despite my painstakingly crafted drawing of their club badge :( Long may the newfound good fortune of Away Days continue.
Genuine happiness in the stands. I miss this in Dutch football. Club loyalty and happiness
A bowl + milk + CINNAMON TOAST CRUNCH + spoon + AWAY DAYS = BEST moment after a stressful day. Thank you ellis
