    Hi Ellis, I know this is a stretch, but Mbombela Stadium in South Africa, home to rugby and football games is extremely unique to the South African nature and culture. I think this would be amazing for a South African football experience

    Hey Ellis, not sure which match this is but the train only comes on specific games, and its mainly just to be an attraction. On the 23rd of August there was a match between them and first tier side Podbrezová where the train actually went through. Its a shame you didint see it but feel free to come back sometime and ill tell you which games its going trough.

    One of my all-time favourite Away Days videos - I couldn't stop laughing at the clips from the match and your despairing faces, fantastic.
    If you want to experience more despair, I would highly recommend visiting Tonbridge Angels FC for a future AwayDays vid:
    ✅ Non-league club on the up, crowds doubled since Covid and usually a good atmosphere
    ✅ Unique/stupid (delete as appropriate) club name
    ✅ Kids (average age: 15) describing themselves as ultras, complete with crowdfunded ultras flag
    ✅ Highly rated burgers. They're not as good as they were when we had a guy called Paul making burgers in a van but to be fair, Paul was a generational talent, very much west Kent's answer to Michelangelo in terms of making burgers in a van
    ✅ Brand new chip van called Fries Like An Angel. Provision of chips probably not a novelty for you, but it is for us
    ✅ No waiting around for trains to run through the ground in the arse end of Slovakia - you'd just waiting to see if we can score more than 1 goal at home this season
    If it's of interest I can see if I can sort something for you - would absolutely love to hear your commentary on a day out at Longmead and the pints would be on me (well, a pint at least). And if not, well, I tried. Keep up the great work!

    Not sure if you've done something like this (still pretty new to your channel) but randomly select a team from as many European countries as possible (other than Ukraine and Russia, obviously), and road trip across the continent for them? Have it be 1-2 countries per video for sponsor money reasons, and it would still be a: an amazing experience for you, and b: some excellent content for us.
