You did surprisingly well with this. Through all the chaos. With 15 years of experience in the hospitality industry and many years working as a chef… let’s do this again, I’ll offer my services with organising and cooking. We could make it fantastic and raise lots of money for your charity
Fair play Ben, didn't complain or give up and actually did very good, wish you would of gotten him an actual chef to help him and have a team of 2 could of made some legit food, a 40 min away day is solid, Almost chrismd style, a video once or twice a month but when it comes out it's a very good lengthy video
As someone who is a professional chef for a living. Seeing ben do his best with the paper plates takes me back to trying to cook for my family as a 9 year old kid. Bless his little heart.
If anyone wants to know the history of the club, I’ll write it briefly. Formed in 1992 when Irthlingborough Diamonds and Rushden Town merged together, within 10 years the club reached the football league. And the in 2011 the club entered administration. A phoenix club of which we saw in this video was founded in the same year, the club has been groundhopping ever since and the original can be seen on the way into Rushden from the A14 opposite the Aldi. The two grounds that were messed up by Alfie is probably because they used to share a ground with Wellingborough Town and now share with Rushden and Higham United. Former players include Akinfenwa, Yannick Bolasie, Ben Chilwell, John Ruddy, Billy Sharp and Mark Wright (yes, the tv guy) Absolute shame what happened to a great local club but it is now something that we are used to in this modern day of football.
It is so jarring to see Ellis just shopping in my local asda and more so just being at the club I support. Spotting a clown at half time makes a lot more sense now 😂
The opening montage smacked of "task on The Apprentice going absolutely tits up with just minutes to go" and I am most definitely here for it! Love this channel!
The merch looks so great! So many youtubers seem to just lazily slap their logo on stuff and call it merch, but your range actually looks like some really cool well designed streetwear that id want to wear even if i didnt know who you are.
Ben Gibbs is a man of many talents. Goal on non-league debut, C in GCSE catering, is there nothing that man can’t do. Also I’m a simple man, I see Smiv in the intro and I watch til the end
havent watched the apprentice for years. this makes me think of the good times. love all the lads involved. keep making this content alongside the far away matches.
Absolutely fabulous video. It was a pleasure to be invited along to be a part of it. I don't think any of us realised just how much pressure Ben was under on the day. That makes his efforts even more spectacular. Thank you to the entire crew for making us feel so welcome.
Up the Away Days! You guys did an amazing job. Ten years? I wish I knew about you sooner, but better late than never, I guess. Best football channel on YT.
10 years of following this insane but, class channel. Buzzin for more lads and well done on this project. Hospitality isn't easy at the best of times but, to put that all together in 24 hours is tough!
Love your videos man, you have really helped a American learn more about football, and different clubs. Seeing all the history in the game has been really cool, can’t wait for more!
Ben Gibbs chopping up those peppers so leisurely nearly sent me over the edge. But then the manic awkward energy made me feel right at home. What a team!!!!!
As a professional cook that does large events my anxiety was at an all time high for the first half of the video. Major props to everyone but especially Ben for pulling it off! Well done!👏👏👏
As a chef im inpressed with Ben. Cooking such a varied menu for 20 people with no kitchen aid nor experience is crazy! He did awesome! Also, 1910 called, they want their gas oven back!
Each and everyone of you that is in the video's all have your very own style you bring to the table and make these video's epic bravo to you all and especially you ellis for 10 fantastic years with the channel 👏🏻
What a video! I can’t fathom how much work has gone into making and producing this video. Such a great idea. Another class video from the AwayDays team 👏
Missed two opportunities with the Lurpak. 🤣 both from James May. - James buys a bus ticket and says "Five pounds sixty?!!" - James takes Lurpak out the cupboard "Lurpak invented in 1901"
Absolute class. I’d have paid £20 for the couple of pints, the ace food by chef Gibbs and the entertainment any day of the week. Plus, even got to see a player there in the vid… Had to be up there with the best hospitality in the world for me, better than Madrid anyway
Quality effort lads and fair play for taking this challenge on, I would have bought a few sandwich platters from M&S or Morrisons and some things like cocktail sausages, scotch eggs, pasta and salad and go for the party buffet option.
the stand up was classic... the crowd work, the ad libs about taking off gloves to do the password - genius... alfie looking down at the phone and just roasting people was the highlight of the whole video
Ellis, Alfie, Ciaran, never have I ever seen three men look so uncomfortable simply existing in public, truly impeccable content, brilliant form, up the away days
Been watching since I found one of your football shirt hunting videos a few years ago. You inspired me to expand my collection and start a app for football shirt collectors. Its been just over 3 months and 2 grand but so happy with how it's going and all the people using it. Any here's to many more years. Ps: Alfie 😮😂
Congratulation to Ben, I reckon if the food was served on actual plates with actual knives and forks it would have looked far better so that's on Ellis. Ciaran was just gold, absolute chaos so sip a pint or hide in a corner. Alfies jokes just opening up those fresh wounds again. We miss you Jodie. Keep it up Ellis, 10 more Years!
Never thought I would have such strong emotions for a person I’ve have never met. I love you Ben Gibbs
We all love him
Ben Gibbs' GCSE Catering qualification 10 years ago, pretty much to the day, has led to this very moment. Epic.
Only time I'll agree with a Norwich fan
How was Ipswich’s biggest collapse in form in championship history ?

It’s not as funny having him have help I’d rather see him squeal
He pulled it off as only Ben Gibbs could. Bravo to him
Yeah but if they did it properly it wouldn't be funny then.
Alfies jokes were incredible, actually made me burst out laughing
Hahahahaha so good from him

Such a shame. I'm a supporter of theirs and its sad
Can't believe they almost suffered back to back relegation - got bailed out last season!
It is so jarring to see Ellis just shopping in my local asda and more so just being at the club I support. Spotting a clown at half time makes a lot more sense now 😂
Alfie moving like Michael Scott with the roasts. Just blurting them out uncomfortably, half expected him to say “boom, roasted” after each one
Cheers for the photo mate and was great to meet you at the game

24:52 “i do know what lemonade tastes like” 😂
Good to see Smiv in this.😊

Thank you for this Ellis; good watch.😅

He’s me as fuck

No other UK football RUclipsr comes close to Ellis

What a team!!!!!
Laughed so hard, 'The Office' esque! Amazing - thank you lads. I'll be rewatching this for sure.
Hero!
As a professional cook that does large events my anxiety was at an all time high for the first half of the video. Major props to everyone but especially Ben for pulling it off! Well done!👏👏👏
This is just pure GOLD. Unreal content. Unreal group of mates. Definition of living life you boys. Up the away days
Ben Gibbs is a goal scoring machine and head chef? What can't the man do?
Prepare a salad
Nothing can beat Ellis, Ben, Alfie, Ed and Kieran, best squad in history
As a chef im inpressed with Ben. Cooking such a varied menu for 20 people with no kitchen aid nor experience is crazy! He did awesome! Also, 1910 called, they want their gas oven back!
Always entertaining us Ellis, thank you for the amazing content and good job of raising money for a local charity. Good Job!
That suit is a war crime, especially the stain 🤣🤣🤣
Love Smiv sitting in the corner with his party hat on 🥳
Been waiting for this one! Fair play rushden & diamonds for pulling this off
Each and everyone of you that is in the video's all have your very own style you bring to the table and make these video's epic bravo to you all and especially you ellis for 10 fantastic years with the channel 👏🏻
Alfie’s halftime set was incredible 😂😂😂😂
smiv cameo was needed
Brilliant lads! And that stand up was comedy gold. Best 40mins of my day today watching this👍
What a video!
I can’t fathom how much work has gone into making and producing this video.
Such a great idea. Another class video from the AwayDays team 👏
I found AwayDays during lockdown when I was in my football shirts crisis, and I'm so glad the journey has led us here
Thank you Ellis for 10 years! Also Ben deserves a raise or something for that cooking because I know I would of been stressed!
That steak baguette looked banging 🤌😂 And the half time comedy deserves a donation to the charity. I'll head over a drop a tenner 👍
First video I've been here for from it's release. Trying to catch up with all your content (not easy, there's f***ING loads!)
Had me in stitches this 😂 great fun and glad it went well in the end, fair play to Rushden & Diamonds for letting this happen 🙌
When the enforcer arrived and Ben said “Where on earth have you come from?” My thought was Mordor!!!!!
I'm expecting a 7ft bouncer and it's Alfie bloody Indra. 🤣
Tbf, his middle name is "bloody"
Probs would deal with the bad man's better with the charima

Favourite video you lads have done so far and at a club not far from me in Northampton! Big up the Diamonds! Big up Away Days!
Fantastic content as always . Added bonus of having Ben Alfie and Ciaron involved aswell ! 👍
Honestly love how the stand up routine was just Alfie roasting them.
Missed two opportunities with the Lurpak. 🤣 both from James May.
- James buys a bus ticket and says "Five pounds sixty?!!"
- James takes Lurpak out the cupboard "Lurpak invented in 1901"
Why is this so awkward to watch but entertaining at the same time 😂

Had to be up there with the best hospitality in the world for me, better than Madrid anyway
fair play for taking this on great stuff for charity and some really funny moments too
Never thought I’d see Awaydays go to my home town! Gutted I wasn’t at the game to meet you boys! COYD!!!💪

Your presentation of the new merch just earned you a percentage of my next check. Love it
Smashed the Just Giving target. Amazing work, everyone! ❤
Ellis walks and acts like Basil Faulty in the suit!🤣🤣

Chaos in the kitchen.
Ciaran sips a pint.
My hero.
I'm a die-hard rugby fan, dont like football, but I love the videos. Keep it up, troops
Up the awaydays heres to many more videos and us all poking fun at Ellis ☺️
the poetic visual imagery of ellis coming out to address the guests while the tv behind him shows a replay of callum langs penalty against leeds

Great video! Alfies stand up was hilarious 😂😅
Ben is an absolute legend for that cooking performance! Wish I could have made it there from Canada.
31:02 absolute insanity cutting bread like that 😂😂
Alfie was bloody brutal 💀
Brilliant video mate hilarious!! Just ordered 2 t shirts can’t wait to get them
Thank you so much!
Title should've been "I Ran a Football Club’s Hospitality For 24 Hours...and then slipped into depression" after Alfie's roasts 😂
Great presentation with the dips…just slide a jar of salsa on the table. Single ply paper plates are also a great choice
Ben Gibbs it’s the mvp. He worked really hard and hopefully everyone appreciated his food.
Good effort all around. You were all trying that's what matters. Come on boys!!!
Love how Ciaran was taking the piss most of the video haha another banger from you all once again
Less than 2 mins in and we've got Ben Gibbs as chef and shopping at Asda for matchday hospitality - I know this is going to be a winner already! 😂
Class Ellis, Ben, Alfie, Ciaran! Great works
Like watching The Apprentice 🤣 amazing as always guys!
😂 thank you!
This gives me so much anxiety working in catering 😂 killed it with such little time though! great video!
Design is sick on the sky blue shirt, well played Ellis 👌🏻
Best video you’ve done, perfect amount of chaos failure and success. Love to see you all shitting yourselves
Thank you :)
New banger in proper awaydays way, never 100% perfect!
This channel has definitely Top Geared itself haha
Haha, love that!
I thought i recognised that ASDA, as a local welcome to rushden and diamonds football club!
This is way better than anything you see on BBC or itv
This almost felt scripted with the masterful editing! Hilarious stuff. Fair play guys.
What’s on the menu? Meatball sub, steak, and oh yeah an Ellis Roast 😂 well done fellas👏🏻
This channel is always fantastic.
This is the best video I've seen in a while!
When Alfie said he had already written some jokes then pulled his phone out I was like "jeez, this is like Baby Reindeer 2.0"
Sent from iphoen
Well Done Ellis , here’s to another 10 years 🎉
Alfie absolutely ruined Ellis with those jokes. Roasted him like a joint of beef
Hahahha fairplay this was fun to watch 👌👌🤣🤣🤣 and we'll done on the 10 years brother...... look forward to watching more
Thank you!
Congratulation to Ben, I reckon if the food was served on actual plates with actual knives and forks it would have looked far better so that's on Ellis. Ciaran was just gold, absolute chaos so sip a pint or hide in a corner.
