You should go to the Ashbourne Shrovetide it’s been played since about 1667 much bigger and better. The goals are 3 miles apart and in the river, and is 8 hrs a day over 2 days
Visit Workington for Uppies and Downies next year. A similar game but most of the town not just one street. Uppies get the ball to the castle, downies get it down the harbour. Takes place 3 times a year around Easter.
Bloody lovely to meet you, Ed! Really didn't expect to see you there. I hope you enjoyed yourself. Maybe next year we can form our own team and blow them out of the water!! 🤣👍🏼
I love these batshit crazy English town sports. Reminds me a bit of Tom Scott's video where he went to a town that throws hot pennies at people on the street 😂
This is hysterical. I think you really found the perfect balance between acknowledging how mad it is and then drily panning to all the businesses that have literally put up boarding.
Surely the key is to wait until 1 hour 45 minutes has gone by and they are all knackered then put a gumshield in, grease yourself up and grab hold of it? It's great though, living history.
Really clever choice 👏 I'm only 30 minutes from Atherstone and would have never even thought of going lol. The Appleby horse fair next Ed that would be insane 😂 The ginger hair will keep you incognito 😅
@@EdChapman23Exactly, like it looks like they're fairly good at keeping the "action" contained to those who are willingly taking part, but i mean accidents happen and it just seems like it's asking for trouble having a load of big guys, all amped up, getting rough, with little kids so near by.
Did I blink and miss you playing? A bit like when you went to the mean streets of Blackpool, and spent the whole time in your hotel room. Love your videos tho.
By far one of the craziest sporting events you'll ever see, would you fancy getting involved in that? Should it be BANNED?
I would rather eat my own foot, unseasoned and raw.
Sounds ridiculously pointless, just an excuse for angry people to get violent 🤷
@@jasondomican1991 at least they are taking it out on other neanderthals and not normal people.
Testosterone gone mad. And betcha they wanna use the public health system when they hurt themselves.
Yes , yes and yes
The photoshop work in the thumbnail is criminal
Thank you :)
@@EdChapman23Egnor it man 👍🎸
@edchapman23 is becoming a proper successful youtuber, photoshopped thumbnails and all. Let's go 1M followers!
love it 😂
@rayperry3114 who's Engor
Can't believe you managed to so easily hold onto the ball for the whole two hours, Ed! Well done!
Thank you, was really easy in the end!
7:52 I love how he is casually speaking while that umbrella thing is on his head like it's normal now.
I need one of those! 😂
i came to the comments straight away 😂
At this point i just open Ed's videos and like them, cause i wanna see him succeed, his videos are so underrated
Thank you, appreciate that :)
i agree
That umbrella hat was genuinely hilarious 😂😂😂😂
“Not just the top half” has proper tickled me. Been laughing for about 5 minutes
You should go to the Ashbourne Shrovetide it’s been played since about 1667 much bigger and better. The goals are 3 miles apart and in the river, and is 8 hrs a day over 2 days
2 hours was enough for me thanks!
Oh my flipping goodness wow I've never heard of that game before, I'm British born n bread but never seen it, you are so brave ed
My dad made the mistake of taking me and my siblings to the Ashbourne one when we were all under 10 years old - scariest experience ever 😂😭
The Atherstone Ball game has been played since 1199 and is more violent🤷♂
Visit Workington for Uppies and Downies next year. A similar game but most of the town not just one street. Uppies get the ball to the castle, downies get it down the harbour. Takes place 3 times a year around Easter.
Awesome. Thanks.
Bloody lovely to meet you, Ed! Really didn't expect to see you there. I hope you enjoyed yourself. Maybe next year we can form our own team and blow them out of the water!! 🤣👍🏼
Please got to the cheese roll at coopers hill next
Man we do have some strange traditions lol
That is the most realistic blood ive seen on a thumbnail
truly good job ;)
Got some sausagerolls just in time for a Chapman video
8:05 are we just ignoring the fact you went full Brian potter?? 🤣🤣
7:56 definitely the most dramatic moment in the video
Basically The Purge 😂
i didnt know this was thing keep up the good work ED on the video Peak youtube right here always entertaining
Nothing like watching a mega punch up and casually dining on a scotch egg, also known as a "petrol station foetus."
I love these batshit crazy English town sports. Reminds me a bit of Tom Scott's video where he went to a town that throws hot pennies at people on the street 😂
Classic bit of fun. I've seen it before does look excellent, Atherstone's actual football team play in the same league as my town's team
Another great video. Nice one Ed!
It's always a good day when there's a new Ed video
Keep it on the deck!....its Atherstone's version of The Purge.
What the...that looks mental, as you always say 😂
English purge 😂😂😂love it
gotta rate how entertaining his vids are
Another banger Ed 🎉🎉🎉🎉
That is crazy! You should attend the Coopers Hill cheese rolling at Coopers Hill near Gloucester at Spring Bank Holiday.
I want to see you take part in Cooper's Hill cheese roll next!
This is hysterical. I think you really found the perfect balance between acknowledging how mad it is and then drily panning to all the businesses that have literally put up boarding.
It’s been known to get rough in the south stand when Millwall visits, good to see awaydays in the video…. MOT
Cheese rolling next ed!
You should go to the tar barrell rolling on guy fawkes night. People run around a small village with a large flaming barrel on their backs.
Love the video Ed ❤
Should try the ball game in sedgefield (Durham). Quite tame in comparison but still got the spirit and less police😂
The "first time here" monologue tickled me😂
"It's all tactical" 😂😂
That was absolutely nuts! And soooooo British! hahahahaha! Thanks Ed :)
your blowing up bro gonna hit 100k soon :)
The umbrella hat 😂
Bloody good thumbnail.
Best personality on the internet.
Great video ed
Thank you!
Get to Ashbourne for Shrovetide, makes this look like a walk in the park.
Surely the key is to wait until 1 hour 45 minutes has gone by and they are all knackered then put a gumshield in, grease yourself up and grab hold of it? It's great though, living history.
I keep missing this every year.
I really need to try to find time to go next year
If it happens that is
"you wait and see" is the most ominous thing I've ever heard. My stresses were entirely alleviated by the umbrella hat thankfully.
8.47 thought that was a Bad boy chiller crew video for a minute,Ed.
In the August bak holiday you have the Bourton on the Water Football in the River match. Might make an interesting video.
Been looking forward to this lol 😆
Looked like the Duncan on a Saturday night 👍🏻🍻😂
This is bizarre 😂😂😂😂😂
I love your channel your the best ❤
This is just the 3am content I was looking for... 😆 😂
Really clever choice 👏 I'm only 30 minutes from Atherstone and would have never even thought of going lol.
The Appleby horse fair next Ed that would be insane 😂 The ginger hair will keep you incognito 😅
Love it !
just learnt about this on the happy hour pod!! you would be a sick guest on there
Nah. The most dangerous sport is the UK's Cooper's Hill Cheese Rolling annual event 😄
Given how violent it can apparently get, it's pretty shocking to me to see so many older people and people with their young kids so close to it all.
Yeah I couldn't believe how many young kids were knocking about
Oh calm down mark ya melt
@@EdChapman23Exactly, like it looks like they're fairly good at keeping the "action" contained to those who are willingly taking part, but i mean accidents happen and it just seems like it's asking for trouble having a load of big guys, all amped up, getting rough, with little kids so near by.
Chin the postman😂😂
This is why we love being British!! 😂😂
In kirkwall orkney they call this the ba
Best video in a while 😊
"You can chin the postman." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Diary of a Wimpy Kid - The Worlds Most Dangerous Game lol
Bro been here loads of times!!!!!!!!
Well that was unexpected 😅 Never heard of it! Bizarre. I don't blame you for not getting involved 😂
Is that Will Sasso in the thumbnail? 😂
Next time try the Haxey hood, similar thing
Show this video to anyone who denies that evolution is real.... The Neanderthals didn't fully die out ! 😂🤦
I can't believe people take there kids to this 😂😂 what a family day out 😂😂
Ellis looks like he's entering a war zone. Great coverage.
Another one for you Ed check out haxey hood start of every year
I bet you were scared for your life pulling out that scotch egg.
What app do u use to edit
I think Ashbourne's is bigger than this tbh
Please do the cheese roll challenge - not sure where the hill is that they roll it on?
good to see ellis on top form
i felt unsafe in leeds until i watched this video 💀
Jumpers for goalposts isn’t it wasn’t it little boys in the park wonderful 😂like watching Leeds play :)
3pm on a tuesday
a good time had by all
My other fave English "sports" are shin kicking and cheese rolling..
that was just plain daft!! no worse than the spanish tomato fight or bull running!
Nah you need to go to uppies and downies i would say thats more brutal
You made me want to be reckless. Well done. I'd have stolen that ball and cowered over it.
trip to spud man on the way back ed?
Cheese rolling when??
Heavily policed >.> There is two bobbies on the street.
The cheese rolling event is more entertaining
We all ways enjoy what you make. Have you thought about doing a you tube from Jay wick xx
I thought you were at a Millwall game
i thought there was a red stain on my pc screen before loading ;P
Did I blink and miss you playing? A bit like when you went to the mean streets of Blackpool, and spent the whole time in your hotel room. Love your videos tho.
I won it
What is more disturbing is all the boarded up businesses.
I thought the most dangerous sport in the UK was the St Barth hot cross buns giveaway?
I think you should do a youtube collab with Joe Weller, an exploring video. I would be able to die in peace tbh.
And I thought cheese-rolling was bonkers! Fair play to those taking a battering 🤣
I live 5 minutes away from atherstone and had no idea about it haha
