The saying ‘jumped the shark’ comes from the 70s American sitcom Happy Days. In the fifth season, the character Fonzie jumped over a shark on waterskis. It marked a shift from fairly relatable, everyday storylines to ridiculous, over the top plots.
The one time you visit our club it is during our worst period ever. Last season and this season are very bad. Hopefully you still had a good time. Greetings a Groningen fan
As someone that moved to Groningen, I loved how approachable the club is. They really do exist for their fans. I wanted to interview them for a study project, and sent an email to the general "info@.." email address. Within an hour, the Marketing Manager himself responded and we held a very long, very honest interview. An amazing club for the city. Just the football...is not great in the last years. But who cares about that, amirite? :D
Like a moth to a flame, er, lamp, insects are drawn to bright lights because they confuse the animals' navigational systems. It's a familiar sight, especially in the summertime: moths and other insects gathered around lights like lamps. Often, creatures entrained in such a glow get eaten by predators or overheat.
As a "Groninger", I'd like to apologize for that game. We should be playing much better... I actually saw you before at the ticketoffice getting your tickets. I was the big guy standing at the same desk talking to someone. When we are back and doing well again I hope to see you here again some time.
Hahaha, the van at around the 07:20 minute mark actually said “do you like meat”, as like a adult joke. Another great video Ellis, hope to see you at a Belgium game soon 🎉
@@awaydaysfootball your videos are always entertaining and actually funny mate, keep it up! They've gotten as far as Argentina, it's really interesting to see how football is lived in Europe
That journey from Amsterdam to Groningen just felt like it took forever. 3 hours ish. I have mixed opinions on Groningen. I liked the atmosphere when I went but I hated the stadium. It was just modern and soulless. In fact, there is very little difference between Zwolle and Groningen's stadium. I wish I could have experienced the old stadium. However, fans were great. Really enjoyed the noise. I regret not getting a Groningen top. I went in 2016 for a Friday night game. I saw Groningen 2-0 Roda JC. If you get the chance and want to visit a good old skool ground in the Netherlands I feel Sparta Rotterdam and Feyenoord Rotterdam are worth a visit.
The atmosphere in Groningen changed a lot since 2016, its much better. Back than it was a little group in the right of the stand, its now the whole stand what is making the noise.
I subscribed to AwayDays like two weeks ago and now I see myself in the Den Haag away end, funny how that works out. I hope RNG sends you our way as well some day!
Another Belter. Its really making me want to plan another European away day. Ive not been to one since before Covid. That was a really nice looking stadium and I love Holland, I came very closee to doing Utrecht a few years ago but couldnt quite make the game. Its always good seeing one of these videos drop 👍 👍 👍
10:05 actually as an Ajax supporter I like watching the second division better than the Eredivisie (except Ajax of course). On Friday there’s there are 6-8 games going on at the same time and on tv they switch between the best moments of each game. Really fun to watch because you see regular screamers as well as amateur-like mistakes.
You should do a football shirt hunting vid in Finland, they have a huge thrift shop culture. They'll probably have a lot of ice hockey jerseys but I've seen a lot of old football shirts in Tampere alone, Helsinki and Turku would be a good place to look as well
28th September Kolkata derby Day here in India 🇮🇳 It will be something new to your channel. And atmosphere here Will be eeelectrifying. It's a 100 year old derby carrying very old history. You can come here for something new in your away days. 28th September Indian super league Kolkata derby Mohunbagan super giant vs East bengal fc
Love your videos Ellis! Your wit gets me everytime! So jealous of all your away day trips and your travels! Come down to the Holmesdale any time and I'll get you a pint! The UKs only true Ultras! 🔴🔵
Lol based on this video and the Dutch Grand Prix a few weeks ago, the Dutch like to party quite a bit lol....dont they? Rain/shine, Dull moment or not.......techno music will be playing lol.
Yeah we have been shit! Used to fight for the euro playoffs but last 2 seasons have gone downhill so hard. Hope you liked the city and atmosphere around it!
Great stuff again Ellis! However, have to be honest, I wish you didn't do those intro previews at the very start of these, and just kept the trip a complete surprise straight from the start. Just some honest feedback and opinion, keep it up!
I saw my own club on the scorebord for a second. Must be really early beacausd we scored in the 3th minute of that match. Welcome the the best competition in the world and far beyond, the Dutch Kitchen Champion Division (aka 1st Division). You should visit the iconic Koel one day. It has a really long staircase for the players to walk down on
I have been watching so many of your videos over the last few weeks and I just subscribed, please consider a trip to Rwanda, the national stadium is about to reopen after a massive upgrade project, its an amazing country (I have lived here for the past 7 years) I promise you it will be an amazing experience. Pls Pls consider Rwanda. ps loved the vid of the pitch with a train running through
I also think this purple thing could be a challenge. You have to go to the most purple team in Europe (that isn’t Fiorentina) and only eat purple things.
Moths don't actually like light they are more confused by it and it messes with their flying. So basically it traps them more then them being attracted to it
would love to finally win a shirt and a ship out to vietnam. lost all faith at this point. loving the techno at the stadium. two of my all time passions it's crazy at half feyenoord. full on pounders
That light attracts moths is proverbial. “Drawn like a moth to a flame” we say of people with irresistible urges to check out something risky. Except that not all moth species are drawn to light, and for those that are nobody really knows why. The general explanation is that the moths use a bright, distant light - the moon, say - as a navigation beacon, always flying transversely to it. However, artificial lights are closer than the moon, so the moths gradually spiral in to their doom. But is that answer correct? Some experts have suggested that certain artificial lights resemble the frequencies of light emitted by the sex pheromones of female moths. Or that light attracts moths to settle down - after all, sunshine is a prompt for night-flying moths to call it a night. Or that very bright light simply disorients them. Nobody knows for certain. It could be that each theory is true for different moths. After all, there are 160,000 known species with their own behaviour: the challenge is to tell the difference between moths and myths.
Wow of all Dutch teams, you have to travel to Groningen. Poor you, we wouldn’t wish on anybody to have to travel all the way up to Groningen, it takes so long to get there from any other Dutch city.
Shame to Groningen tho. They got relegated after such a long tenure in Eredivisie. Always regret that. Robben got back there couple years ago arriving from Bayern before retiring. Hope they got back to Eredivisie real quick.
Whooop finally checking out Dutch football, wanting you to experince it for years :). Groningen is a great area I went there last year. You need to cheak out a utrecht match too. Great vid as always. you don't want to see ajax.
The Slovakia video... actually any of Lewis's away day videos are better than this. Thank goodness I'm not paying for this subscription. I'd want my money back.

In the spirit of budget Bergkamp I feel it's important to point out that Kieran looks like budget Finn Balor

So cool you went to Groningen. I visited there from the US back in April and went to their King's Day festival. Super fun town
words cannot describe how much i love these videos. thanks mate
Moths use the moon to navigate, and they get confused by the lights and spend the night circling

Disappointed you haven't got the 10k, but I hope you'll do more of these anyway. Very enjoyable watch.
I'm looking forward to a worldwide version that sends you to something like the fourth tier of Peruvian football

love the shirt man. great content keep it up
ado den haag always reminds me of the master league in PES5. they were always the whipping boys.
You should travel to see a sunderland game, they are off and running in the efl championship league!
Yeah we have been shit! Used to fight for the euro playoffs but last 2 seasons have gone downhill so hard. Hope you liked the city and atmosphere around it!
You could have done a rare shirt hunt. Like the Robben debut shirt or the Luis Suarez, Virgil van Dijk Groningen match worn shirt
Yass another collab with the legend. Love it
