==============================================
Me and my mates went to Benidorm on a stag do.
At the end of one of the nights. We decided to go to Burger King. As we joined the queue. There was a fella with a white shirt on covered in blood.
We asked him did he realise he was covered in blood and his response was, ‘yes, I think I’ve been stabbed but want a burger before I go to hospital.’
That summed up Benidorm for me.
Next video: Shopping for Retro Football Shirts with Sticky Vicky
I dont really watch shopping for retro football shirts but Id watch that one for sure
He'll need a shovel
Europe is the size of the USA
RIP

Samba de Janeiro is the best sound in Carrow Road. Especially when you've scored against Ipswich.
hi ellis, long time subscriber and Hercules fan, as I am from alicante. would love to take you around alicante and show you the football club from the inside, I can also get you pitch side pass so you can truly experience the game, we are a historic club with an intresting ownership situation and I think it would be a great video. regarding the Hercules b fans there is a fanbase for the team as some fans have given up on the first team, in addition to Benidorm being less than a half an hour drive from Hercules stadium. great vid, up the away days!
I bet his butchering of the name was funny haha
I saw Hercules play in the Bernabeu in the 1980s......Hercules B is an obvious team to go and watch for any Hercules fan living in Benidorm. In UK there isn't the same understanding of sports clubs that have A teams, B teams, Basketball teams, handball teams......
Living in Alicante myself and I love going to watch Hercules play
Losing 50 quid on full card monty (with potatoes) in 2024 is insane
A fool and his money...
@@KimJong-101 I mean if you have a face like that Kim Jong probably suits you. Greasy, old, grey hair looser
You look like a potato
Romani gypsy scam… they’re everywhere in Europe
All the people around them are in on the scam, they hype it up to get silly people to play. Which in Benidorm it’s easy to do
It's fake mate, they're pretending to bet but those guys are all banded together. They're not actually losing any money. They do that to try and get other people to genuinely play. You see that kind of thing in all tourist cities all over Europe
Regarding Hercules B spectators, that's a thing here in Spain, fans will actually go and see the B teams as well as the first team because they are actually competing in the league system. At the moment Villareal B are in second division which also play at the moment in La Cerámica (the first team stadium) albeit with an average attendancy of 2000 it's definitely below the league average.
You get lots of away fans in reserve and youth football in England as well, Ipswich fans are great for that and Crewe took a drum to an Under 17 game, midweek 7PM kick off at Highbury. I've supported Arsenal reserves at Highfield Road after moving from London to Coventry as well.
Is the B team allowed to play in the highest league, Like, can Villareal B play in La Liga?
@@TzOn79 no, in fact Real Madrid Castilla (Real Madrid B) won the second division in 1984, but couldn't go up. Bilbao athletic couldn't go up either despite coming second (they are B team to athletic Bilbao) so 3rd 4th and 5th went up instead.
@williamt.szeibert8699 aha. Thanx !
"Stop looking down on people who enjoy things, and just let people enjoy them." Loved this.
Also, glad to see the bucket hat is still going strong!
I'm really looking forward to the third video, from Ciaran's perspective - where it turns out you guys were *actually* in Benidorm for an Ocean's Three heist of jewels Sticky Vicky had been concealing in an undisclosed location.
This episode gave Inbetweeners movie vibes lololol
I feel like Ed just came for the piss up and Sticky Vicky.... Didn't care about the footie.
Spot on
RIP the original Sticky Vicky
Hahaha Ed went to Benidorm to film two videos for his channel... and see sticky vicky
@@EdChapman23Ed needs to hurry up with the second one then doesn’t he ;)
Ellis get yourself to Bangkok you'll see professional sticky Vickys here, I unfortunately got hit in the eye by a ping pong ball from 5 metres during the only show I have ever visited here, eye infection for a week which wasn't fun
Me and my missus watched UD Lanzarote while we were there. Friendly club, nice beer. Decent afternoon out.
I feel like an opportunity was missed here though, to see Ed off his chops on sniff and whizz 😂
3 guarantees in life.
Death
Taxes
And Ellis finding someone who looks like him on the pitch
Hate the snobbiness directed towards Benidorm. I went as best man on a stag... Thought we were going ironically (we weren't). Turns out you can get a breakfast and a pint for a fiver. What's not to like.
Skins clearing up really well mate, I have exzma so I know how it feels to have skin problems keep up the great vids also love them
23:53
Not the the only time on this trip Ellis wished a ball was propelled towards him.
Title had me thinking eastern Ukraine, glad I was wrong
I was thinking Goole
Russia sucks
Eastern Ukraine isn't a City ;)
@@JackoJ15 no shit sherlock
@@JackoJ15benidorn ist too it a It is an amusement center for drunk English people hahaha
That Engerland t-shirt is absolutely hilarious hahahahaha go on Ellis.
Sticky vicky family business is WILD
The tee is hella funny
This video is why i love this channel. Not even bothered by the football , this content is what i love .
Keep trying this type of content out its class :) almost like behind the scenes of what most channels dont show
That Engerland t-shirt is absolutely genius 😂
No
@@deantaylor9832 whats wrong with it?
@tylbi1315 what's right with it?
fuck the gammons!
@@deantaylor9832 It's a good laugh, doesn't 'offend' anyone or anything like that... so what's wrong with it?
Ellis, you look so innocent throughout this! The night out, that questionable show, everything haha. Kind of glad you had supervision
Good way to business expense a piss up 😂😂
😅
Think this is my favourite video you’ve made so far, nice mix of your older style stuff, little bit of a documentary feel then a bit of of a holiday recollection from when everyone was 20 😂 keep it up mate
@@Gamblor92 the video on Ed's channel is quality too
don't forget to watch sticky vicky,star wars show ellis..love
Match looked pretty dire attacking wise , definitely saw more action in Vicky's box
This is probably the best away days yet, weird matchday, funny night out, good vid
Ed at home w*nking his little head off missing the footie 😢😂😂
I did not need this amount of sticky or vicky shouts throughout the video. 10/10
This the new season of Inbetweeners? 😆
Love it, keep up the quality original content
From start to finish, this is perfect, best video I’ve ever watched on TH-cam
The fact there is a random Mansfield Town supporters bar in the middle of Benidorm is absolutely unbelievable. What a country we are ❤
The craziest part is you can Even find small Norwegian and dutch and Swedish teams aswell. So many foreigners there
@@sebastianselst2171 'Foreigners' mate, you are also a foreigner while in Spain.
@@TheMiniMaestroMan If you are a tourist from a country above the Pyrenees you are a guiri, if you are from east europe or asia a foreigner
Accutane is putting Ellis in the mud... it'll be worth it mate! Rough few months, but that stuff really works!
Took about 18 months to sort me out
To me it looks like it’s working well for him already
@@ross4164 yeah his face has cleared up, I had bad side effects but man my skin is so good still to this day 15 years later
@@ross4164I think he’s got some sort of beauty mode on the camera tbh
@@alekaidon1364 Yeah it's for sure a filter
This may actually be peak AwayDays.
I can't tell you how many times I've had the conversation of sticky Vicky keeping her family in the business , brilliant !!
You should get over to northern ireland for the irish cup final mate. Its a sellout already and between two clubs that are the oldest here and absolutely hate eachother for the first time in 90 years play in a final..its between linfield and cliftonville just google the rivalry and it speaks for itself..can be considered the route of where rangers and celtics rivalrie stems from but tickets can be baught for the vip areas still.would be a great coverage.belfast is a good spot for a trip too plenty to do and the football has picked up aswell compared to what things where like years ago. The finals in may 🙌🏻
My family emigrated to California in 1968. When my dad retired he moved back to England and in winter would take these cheap as chips holidays in Tenerife, Benidorm, Malta, etc etc. That's all fine and dandy as it worked for him and made him happy. Me on the other hand I to occasionally to travel internationally for business purposes and, as such, would embrace a far more native flavored experience. Up to a point. There's only so many 18hr days in the Yokkaichi Toshiba cleanroom eating stuff you ordered from a photograph or 3D model of a meal that you can take. One morning as I arrived back at the hotel as my team's day shift were eating breakfast, I broke. I'd gone to Toshiba with them the day before and was just now returning. The hotel put on a buffet for breakfast but it wasn't exactly the sort of stuff you're used to. A bit of fish, some rice, and salad was not what I needed, or wanted, that morning. I'd earlier scoffed at the existence of a Starbucks next door to the back entrance to the hotel and a Mcdonalds in a nearby shopping. Best Big Mac and Mocha EVER! Life saver.
Your best video to date Ellis, absolute quality 👏🏻😂
The thing that blew me away in this video was hearing that the upper class holiday in Tenerife :D
If you're really trying to see soccer in the worst city in Europe then Chisinau, Moldova, should be your first stop.
Dang. No matter how trashy, where there’s a sunny beach & bars aplenty, things can’t be that bad.
What a great video. Another triumph.
Enjoyed the vlog lads. Never thought of of Benidorm as the worst city in Europe. I know what you mean about the strip. There are lots more places to go in Benidorm, though when we go down there we laugh shake our heads and walk on. Even better if you're doing a vlog they offer you nothing 😂. Hopefully there will be a home game when we are in Benidorm next November. Mot
Literally flew from Benidorm this morning back to London on the exact same street 😂
theres more british culture in benidorm than in britain itself
I thought sticky Vicky died.. years ago?!
Edit: ooooooo her daughter has taken over the reins. Of course.
Family businesses ❤️
Title should be changed to 'Ciaran tries to keep both eyes open in Europe's WORST Location'' can someone please get that gentleman a pair of shades
let that man squintmaxx
@@bungaIowbillMore like allergicreactionmaxx
Where did you get that Engerland t-shirt? It's class!!!
Benidorm with the lads. this is content.
Benidorm is class thought it would be shite when I went few months back but was poppin every day and night
Ellis, I think being in the sun while on Accutane is worse than drinking while on it. Class vid as always.
These videos are why I love the channel, you guys are the best!
Mate your skin is improving tremendously man keep up with the treatment
its a filter
13:45 was proper Inbetweeners Movie vibes 😂
Benidorm in April is not the same as Benidorm June-August.
Next video Magaluf holiday for a mallorca fc game 😂 would love that video Ellis
As a spanish I've been to Benidorm a couple of times when I was a kid with my parents. Now I live near another tourist destination that you brits know very well: Salou.
These type of videos are great ngl
My grandad lives in Benidorm we always go there to see him it’s a brilliant place been going for 14 years
Sticky vicky is iconic to
Sticky Vicky died last summer! Christ knows who you saw!
Her daughter carries on her legacy @@markwilliamlacey
@@drycfc there is Sticky Star and several other copycats
Sticky vicky died. Her daughter take over her legacy
please make a football shirt channel, i’ve accepted that this content gets you the recognition you deserve and i love it but i also miss the spotty 12 year old who bought too many footy shirts
This is the most un -away days ever, but yet it’s the most Aways Days ever, if that makes any sense 😂
After seeing your face about Sticky Vicki and hearing some description of it, I will never see that show. I don't want to have nightmares for the rest of my life.
What happens in Benidorm, stays in Benidorm I think is the theme here. Seems like a place you want to visit just once anyway.
Watched a game there in 1983...CD Benidorm v CD Alacuas(?) in the then Third Division.
Ellis! You have to come watch stellenbosch fc here in South Africa! 🇿🇦
Always a pleasure to see you represent Porto 💙
Ciaran working his cake at 5.35 ish, very niiiiice 😅😂😂😅😅😅😅😂😂
Guys, how about coming to Ukraine visiting one of our Premier League matches ? Due to war the maximum capacity nowadays is around 3.000 people, but it’s real for you to attend one of the games!
Next season you need to come down and film Folkestone Vs Dover. They got relegated from national league, then down to national league south, and will be in iathmian prem (7th tier) in the same league as folkestone. If you want a tasty derby and limbs. Folkestone vs Dover next season.
Just make sure you go to the Folkestone fixture rather than the one in Dover 🤢
Tourism board loving you right now 😂😂😂
Try going to bosnian football field. Totally no landmines
i live in bosnia but like if he go to watch the srarajevo derby i think he would be stunned
excellent Ed's cameraman released a new video
Do an awayday for LA Galaxy vs LAFC on 4th of July at the rosebowl. It is the biggest rivalry in MLS and last years game had an attendance of over 82k.
This is a generational vlog 😂😂
In Australia these Spanish holiday cities are like super exotic…you don’t expect to see a middle aged Bristol man with sock tan
I remember the accutane days. Rough.
Love geography here for that n footy 😂 got do many geography questions right in quizes cos of football
I for one love Benidorm. Never been there, never will, but I appreciate it because it keep most of the brits there.
Love the Clapton CFC hat! Mon the Ton!
Ed, Ellis and Ciaran... Is this the start of The TH-cam Avengers?
18 minutes of waffling 10 minutes of football, keep up the good content mate ‼️‼️
I think that's the first time you've ever called a goal. Sticky Vicky must have powers
We really got to get you to a Forward Madison FC match.
Hi Ellis, I stayed in the Bristol hotel in October. Absolutely loved Benidorm 🎉
The Engerland shirt 😭
I love how Ed got a free ticket and still thought "nah"
I hope the sticky vicky incident is gonna be a reoccuring joke from now on. Poor Ellis Haha
You should go to a football game in Australia watch the A-league
The irony of you warning about being offered sniff at the end then poking your nose twice is not lost on me🤣
Benidorm? Seems like Brighton but without Brighton’s exotic Mediterranean flare
Love the channel pls start the autograph and match worn shirt series again, keep up the great work and don't listen to the haters!
I would like to thank you for this video as it has convinced me that going to Benidorm for a holiday would be my idea of Hell.
Did Ciaran only take 1 shirt with him! 🤣
we need a shirt hunting episode Ellis
That bottle of beer from Sticky Vicky was lovely
using a lads holiday as a business expense, genius
Love it very unique way of coming out 🌈🌈🌈 I'm proud of you mate❤❤❤❤
Gui Amor is an Adelaide United legend! Sticky Vicky not so much, I am quite curious what caused the full head swivel though.
I like the way the badge on the Benidorm shirt implements the big rock you can sea from Benidorm's beach (Benidorm Island)
Been to Benidorm 9 times and am booked to go again in June. Can confirm that is class 👌
I see myself in the video, a few of the players in Hercules was in la liga a few years ago
Love the Clapton CFC hat
