Having found the campsite they were staying at, looking at a map of UK football clubs and cross-referencing that with clubs that had home games on Oct 12 (as mentioned by the Royston Town FC comment), I have found five matches that Ellis and Ben could have attended that were closer. - Royston Town FC Reserves 6-0 London Colney (step 6) - 23.0km - Biggleswade FC (step 4) 1-3 York City (National League) [FA Cup] - played in Bedford Town - 21.5km - St Ives Town FC 0-1 Barwell (step 3) - 19.1km - Biggleswade Town FC 0-2 Stratford Town (step 3) - 16.9km - Biggleswade United 3-1 Crawley Green (step 5) - 15.6km - Eynesbury Rovers 0-1 Bugbrooke St. Michaels (step 5) - 9.4km The Eynesbury game would have barely been a 2-hour walk, but where's the fun in that eh?
Thank you for visiting us against London Colney a few weeks ago in the Spartan South Midlands Division One 10th Tier / Step 6 of Non League we really appreciate it, what was the score when you walked in? Let us know when you plan to visit us again, Hope you enjoyed it.
As soon as you walked into the road from the campsite I knew where you were I used to live around there you were so close to loads of clubs. And walked the opposite way😂
I love the absolute creativity of this channel. I'm from Australia and do like football but I never thought I'd be watching two guys walking aimlessly around the English countryside looking for a random game. Pulling out the binoculars is such a a boss move.
something really refreshing about watching you Elliss, please don’t ever feel like the more successful you get, the more money and crazy things you have to include in your content. absolutely love watching your stuff!
Just an observation Ellis when you said you weren't sure Royston had a football team and then later referred to them as Royston Town. They are a pretty well known club. Good stuff but i miss the old days of when you guys went to non league games like we do. My club is Step 4 Pitching In South 1. Royston Town is Central 1.
This video was such a rollercoaster of emotions 😆 The moment where you figured out that the colosseum and fort where actual locations on the kids' playground...I absolutely lost it 🤣
I had high hopes for the camping setup. But as soon as they raw dogged the Sausages onto a camping frying pan i knew they were in trouble. We've all been there lads. But its something you need to learn once. Also i found out which Campsight you were staying at, and Alfie did you dirty with that. Its legit only 30 minutes from Cambridge Station. Do did he just drive you around that roundabout for 3 hours?
This is a fantastic concept. You could easily turn this into a competition, having two teams compete to see who could find the match faster. I definitely want to see this in Europe and anywhere else you can get people to go.
As someone who lives in Camborne (Cornwall) I was excited when you said Camborne. Only to have my hopes dashed realizing there is a pretender to the throne in Cambridgeshire. Should come down to Cornwall though; could do a Lands End to John O’Groats Football related video 🤷♂️
At every dilemma, the cameraman is already over or has navigated whatever obstacle is in the way, so it’s some top tier acting from Ellis & Ben to pretend they have no idea how they’re doing some of the things they do, when the cameraman has clearly already done it.
Mate this type off video is going to blow up, normally you go to a well known match watching first teams play so to end up watching a team you've never watched before is now up rhere as one of my fave videos off yours
Away days… Best days….. The away win is always a bonus, the traveling with your friends and other fans, beers, memories, new cities, everything thats what matters. Great video ellis
You guys are freaking awesome to watch! I had laughs and tears while watching this. You guys were actually closer to Papworth FC. At the Caxton Gibbet Service Area, if had you followed the signs to Papworth Everad, you would’ve found Papworth Blaster FC who had a match that day against Soham United…and lost 0-1.
I love the growth and evolution of this channel. Unreal Ellis. Another top video, the partnership with Ben was phenomenal. Alfie deserves a special mention too for the turnaround in the edit. Absolute legends, and thank you for constantly entertaining us 😎
Would love more of this. Love how the videos are real and not made to make us think a certain way. Keep up the good work. Yall make me wanna move to england
This video is incredible, and literally all in the area that I live and grew up in. Its so weird watching this video and recognising exactly where you were the whole time. Absolutely loved it, top work Ellis 👏 👏👏
Genuinely one of your best videos/concepts haha this was awesome! Keep it up dude, you're killing it!!!! Doing this in Europe btw would be insane hahah
This gives me a Top Gear Special vibe. Im glad we were there to see it. If there is a stranded in europe video the opening line on should be "On this AwayDays special"
this was such a great video!! I know they’re probably quite difficult to manage production for but id love to see you do this with all of your regular awaydays friends
That's why I don't do camping at Creamfields. Cold during the night, hot in the morning. But what a very cool idea, but yes - try + do it in the summer time 1000% haha !
Your channel has evolved so far with so many fantastic and hilarious ideas, it's must watch right now. The revolving cast of guests and the wacky ideas, all loosely based around watching football. Pure magic!
As of the only car that stopped was an Abarth Punto Evo, pretty rare car! Amazing video concept, think someone else said it but the top gear of football 😂
Love how both of you have been through the ringer and your still bouncing and enjoying the game 😂 Great video. No idea how you'd do it in europe, but colour me interested!
The funny part is if they'd got to St Neots, there are four clubs you could have visited and would be an easier route, haha. St Neots Town Football Club, Eynesbury Rovers FC, Eaton Socon FC and Priory Parkside Colts FC Love the content :) This is the area I live near, haha
Clicked the like button before I even started watching because I knew this was gonna be epic! Great concept and hard work paying off massively Ellis. Looking forward to the European adventure!!
So Ellis makes this so much like a 2024 version of Vikings 😂 Wet woods, walking through the wilderness and surviving, what a guy….. also Ben is the orienteering master with his ruler 😂 great vid, enjoyed this MOT Ellis
Even if yous don’t do it around Europe for a while I think this concept and video was incredible and you could easily make it into a series around England/UK as it was so much fun to watch! 😁
Its took me a few days to watch this as i needed to have an hour free. AND YES! A brilliant video, well worth the wait. A new idea and very enjoyable. Would love Ed to be on this with you.
Fair play and brilliant video idea, would love to see more of this. Knew it would be a great video when I recognised the petrol station you went to the loo in after you said you'd been driving for an hour. Pretty sure you were still in Cambridge.
This video was great! I love Geowizard's content and I love football, so this was like a perfect blend for me. Can't wait to watch the video in Europe!
Can we get a follow up video with Alfie where he shows you the route you could have taken to find a game the quickest?
We need this
This is a must do!
This has to happen!
Need
Great idea
Unreal concept... Ellis you've been on top form mate
🤝🤝🤝

This is sport! Very good!
holy shit no way
Your ground looks really impressive
This is actually mental, would love to see more of this concept
🫡🫡
Yeah doesn’t even have to be in Europe could just do this sort of concept in different parts of the UK
53:15 Ben banging on the stand directly in front of a 'don't bang on the stand' sign...
Mad lad
Love this idea for a video. If you do it again may be fun to see a map showing the names and closest stadiums to see how close you boys are to a game
Make Alfie draw the map on a small bit of paper 😂
Basically the top gear special of away days videos 👌🏻🙌🏻
@@SeasidersTV1920 Imagine like... a theatrical length Away Days video with challenges. That would be epic (and mental).
@@psychorabbitt has to be done, would be primetime
Very GeoWizard-esque... cheeky collab 👀
Wonderful video! Can’t wait to see Ellis & Ben dropped in a field in Kazakhstan trying to find a game in Almaty 🤣
"I never liked that saying, you can't watch your own head"
Speaking words of wisdom! 😂
😂😂😂
RUclips: How many adverts do you want?
Ellis: Yes.
The game’s the game.
when Ben put his glasses infront of the binoculars he cemented this channel as the best on youtube
As soon as you walked into the road from the campsite I knew where you were I used to live around there you were so close to loads of clubs. And walked the opposite way😂

Need to come to an a league match
something really refreshing about watching you Elliss, please don’t ever feel like the more successful you get, the more money and crazy things you have to include in your content. absolutely love watching your stuff!
Thank you!
Keep up these longer videos Ellis!
Will do!
Can’t believe you ended up at my local 😭 fairly sure I know half the starting lineup personally, hope you enjoyed your time in Royston UP THE CROWS 🖤🤍
this is a fucking quality concept

46:45 Ben noticing the Morrisons salad 😂😂 what a man
10 mins in……this is awesome. Need to do this in all the home nations and then in Europe.this is a genius video idea! 🎉
This video was such a rollercoaster of emotions 😆 The moment where you figured out that the colosseum and fort where actual locations on the kids' playground...I absolutely lost it 🤣
Lads get over to Dublin on the 10th November to the Aviva stadium! FAI cup final! Don't miss the Drogheda United fans 🔵🟣

Have we ever seen more of an Away Days video? I think not. That was so good and I would love to see more of this. Top work, boys.
'We're going west currently, or east' - Ben Gibbs at his insightful, brilliant best.
Unbelievable content! Genuinely the best you have ever produced in my opinion, felt like watching an inbetweeners spin off
I've never liked a video faster than when Ellis said 10k likes and they do this in Europe
Return to my phone to see a notification for 55 minutes of Ben Gibbs? Superb content (oh Ellis you’re decent too)
😂
@@awaydaysfootball anything with Ben Gibbs is instant class!
This is a fantastic concept. You could easily turn this into a competition, having two teams compete to see who could find the match faster. I definitely want to see this in Europe and anywhere else you can get people to go.
This video is absolute class!! Hats off Ellis, Ben, Alfie and Cameraman 🤝 please come do this in Belgium, i will help out, UP THE AWAYDAYS
Why do I feel like I just watched a straight line mission 😂. Amazing job Ellis - love the ambition you have with the channel
As someone who lives in Camborne (Cornwall) I was excited when you said Camborne.
Only to have my hopes dashed realizing there is a pretender to the throne in Cambridgeshire.
Should come down to Cornwall though; could do a Lands End to John O’Groats Football related video 🤷♂️

I was not expecting an Ellis Perry the Platypus impression but I’m here for it
This reminds me of the episode of Bottom where Richie and Eddie go camping on Hampstead Heath.
“It’s like Anakin on Mustafar”
That’s the reference this channel was missing. 😂
Mate this type off video is going to blow up, normally you go to a well known match watching first teams play so to end up watching a team you've never watched before is now up rhere as one of my fave videos off yours
Not many videos sit through 2 15 second ads for but this is one of them. Top work Ellis, Ben and Alfie on the edit
Away days… Best days….. The away win is always a bonus, the traveling with your friends and other fans, beers, memories, new cities, everything thats what matters. Great video ellis
Not only exceptional taste in Football teams (MOT) but also music- bloody love the Wombats.
You guys are freaking awesome to watch! I had laughs and tears while watching this. You guys were actually closer to Papworth FC. At the Caxton Gibbet Service Area, if had you followed the signs to Papworth Everad, you would’ve found Papworth Blaster FC who had a match that day against Soham United…and lost 0-1.
I just want to say this channel is at is PEAK when Ellis and Ben are on the hunt for a good time!👍
A 55 minute away day video is a blessing😍
This channel feels like the footballing equivalent to classic top gear.
Such a good compliment!
Ah Royston Town, went there a few years ago in FA cup. Great day and ground.
I love the growth and evolution of this channel. Unreal Ellis. Another top video, the partnership with Ben was phenomenal. Alfie deserves a special mention too for the turnaround in the edit. Absolute legends, and thank you for constantly entertaining us 😎

Would love to see Alfie explaining what the possible options actually were
Genuinely one of your best videos/concepts haha this was awesome! Keep it up dude, you're killing it!!!! Doing this in Europe btw would be insane hahah
I love how optimistic Ben is
Maybe you’re best video to date! Would love to see a video of Alfie showing his thought process
Incredible video. Quality effort from you and Ben, and the cameraman! Also did we really expect anything else from Alfie?
Well now you need to sponsor a game at Camborne Town and Royston
Now this is content!! Sorry for busting you on the number of ‘shorts’ you posted. This more than makes up for it! Thank you AwayDays!
This gives me a Top Gear Special vibe. Im glad we were there to see it. If there is a stranded in europe video the opening line on should be "On this AwayDays special"

This was absolutely brilliant. The Wombats song coming in each time was class... Hahaha
Come for the football stay for the lack of football
😂😂😂
The fact that my Mrs (who doesn't like football) sat, watched and enjoyed this video says everything about it.
World class guys.
Love to hear it!
Please make this a series. "I Was Abandoned to Find a Football Match: In Egypt!" Also, that hat was the star of the video. LOLOL
Your channel has evolved so far with so many fantastic and hilarious ideas, it's must watch right now. The revolving cast of guests and the wacky ideas, all loosely based around watching football. Pure magic!
Thank you!
commenting to maybe help boost this to 10k because stranded in europe would be electric. huge fan of the longer form. big ups, guys!
4:54 I have your lacking mate
As of the only car that stopped was an Abarth Punto Evo, pretty rare car! Amazing video concept, think someone else said it but the top gear of football 😂
Love how both of you have been through the ringer and your still bouncing and enjoying the game 😂
Great video. No idea how you'd do it in europe, but colour me interested!

48:36 This part has me crying 😭
I feel a bit insulted about how critical you were about the lack of noise, the lad with a drum bailed last minute. Blame it on him
Cry lmao
Clicked the like button before I even started watching because I knew this was gonna be epic! Great concept and hard work paying off massively Ellis. Looking forward to the European adventure!!
AwayDays isn't a football channel. It's so much more.
What a comment!
These three can be the next generation of Top Gear!
So Ellis makes this so much like a 2024 version of Vikings 😂
Wet woods, walking through the wilderness and surviving, what a guy….. also Ben is the orienteering master with his ruler 😂 great vid, enjoyed this MOT Ellis
Even if yous don’t do it around Europe for a while I think this concept and video was incredible and you could easily make it into a series around England/UK as it was so much fun to watch! 😁
The channel that keeps on giving, props Ellis keep it up my man
1 minute in and can already tell this is gonna be a belter of a video
🫡🤝
Haha seeing the cambourne sign and not realising they were literally 20 mins from the train station
It was nice of Alfie Potts Harmer to point you toward the sport center
Won't get to watch this until tonight but yes! This sounds like it's going to be a hell of a lot of fun. Love that you're basically a travel show now!
Brilliant video gents - who needs football on a football channel when you have Ellis and Ben to brighten your day!
Best video I’ve seen this year. Fun, unique, well captured and editing great. Top work Ellis!
I've only found your channel recently but binge watched most your videos and this is by far your best video. Awesome concept, loved it!
This was bloody amazing!! Probably your best yet.
Its took me a few days to watch this as i needed to have an hour free. AND YES! A brilliant video, well worth the wait. A new idea and very enjoyable. Would love Ed to be on this with you.
Superb content! Would have loved it if there was a little segment at the end showing what games you could have also seen!
They went on to win 6-0! didn't miss out on goals
Great video all round. Perfect editing, filming, and production.
I love this content and concept so much. It’s so uplifting.
Fair play and brilliant video idea, would love to see more of this. Knew it would be a great video when I recognised the petrol station you went to the loo in after you said you'd been driving for an hour. Pretty sure you were still in Cambridge.

Warming and moving. Beautiful content. More of this lads.
38:01 at this point I was expecting an involuntary cameo from GeoWizard in the midst of one of his straight line missions
8:34 Ben looked genuinely terrified hahahaha
Wat a genius idea this is!!! Deffo need more of these videos
The fact they’re just walking through random farmers fields will baffle the American mind 😂
Absolutely loved this. Your videos have got better and better over time but the reason is you. Great work.
Thank you!
We should take a collection to have the entire Crew spend a weekend camping together. Hilarious!
