Legendary combo here. You should do a series, as you are both lovely people who don't take things too seriously. Good vibe to watch on a Sunday evening. God bless
Wakefield is actually where the word 'nonce' originated (or Wakefield prison to be more exact). It was an acronym that stood for Not On Normal Courtyard Exercise and was written on the cell cards of prisoners who may have been at risk of being attacked by other prisoners (and the meaning of the word kind of gives away the reason why...)
Literally saw you both while I was on the bus near trinity walk lol. Was wondering why you was in Wakefield I thought they must have got lost on the way to leeds lol.
if theres ever a cause to get behind its lady Stuntpegs fight to bring the meal deals down to 3 pounds!!! Nieve is so funny! yet another great video Mr Knox!
Belle Vue ...remember enjoying the rugby league games in the early 80s despite the bone chilling cold, biting wind and horizontal rain. Very true what you say, the centre is quite small but there are lots of interesting things to do within an easy 5 or 6 mile radius. The coal mining museum is really worth a visit, maybe 20 minutes on the bus from Westgate station! 🚌
What about the empty boarded up shops opposite the cathedral, we once had a thriving market, long gone, we had shops, long gone, all that is left an empty shopping centre, Trinity new "shopping centre" main shop Debenhams gone, The Ridings, again once a thriving shopping centre, gone we are left with a city full of charity shops, coffee shops, empty buildings, homeless on the streets, have lived Wakefield most of my life a once pround city gone to pot.
16:19 I was actually surprised (and quite relieved) that Wakey Wines didn't make the video, especially considering Nieve obviously knows about it. Wakefield is top 5 nicest cities in Europe, glad you enjoyed it.
I have lived in Wakey since 1998 and adore its charms. When i arrived, it had a night life second to none and a historical backdrop that needs to be remembered can you name me a city that has more pubs in a straight mile. Wakefield is rough but it is also beautiful
I've been here about 23 years. It's not the worst place to live. I love all the nature around. But could be more job opportunities and less arseholes 😂.
I can’t wait to visit Wakefield. I’m a Wakefield Trinity Rugby League fan. Can’t wait to see them play in person. I wear my Wakey kits everywhere. I live outside of Los Angeles. We’re coming up next season.
I rejected cauliflower when I started to have middle-class girlfriends and moved over to broccoli . After decades I decided I had , Had enough of pretending to be a broccoli lover. And reclaimed my working class devotion to the cauliflower long before it became the new middle-class cauliflower steak frenzy
@@RobbieKnox maybe now but in late 80s and the 90s , the broccoli was the new kid on the block beloved of the middle-class Cauliflower was clearly the working class vegetable.
I'm from Wakefield, lived in Yorkshire all my life. That "Sculpture" is the most pointless thing about Wakefield. I always end up in a debate about it. . 😂😂 The council spent 200k on that horrendous "sculpture". Money that should have gone elsewhere, Wakefield is extremely run down full of homelessness, drugs, you name it. But I love the North and I love Yorkshire it's my shithole. ❤ It's NOT a football club it's a rugby club! 😂 Wakefield Trinty and Coal mining museum is in South Yorkshire, Barnsley. Love all the videos! J.
should of come to pontefract nearby. we have a better castle. a big park area and race course. we used to have 2 greggs across from eachother but now its all barber shops. the only haribo factory outside germany was here but its partly moved to castleford now and pontefract cakes are rank. we used to have the most pubs in a square mile in the uk, but we dont now. ummm , harold shipman worked here..... in fact dont bother its shit. we used to be a proper town
You should’ve gone and tracked down the incredible George Green, of Wakefield . It’s certainly a mission that I want to undertake. He seems to be the big cheese in the fish and chip world.
Nieve has such a fun, down to earth personality, she's a great companion for this series. Not really giving a shit about football I would never have been introduced to her without Robbie. For the same reason I wouldn't have known about Robbie if it wasn't for putting the bins out or a wormery or something.
You two are brilliant together. So glad I found your channels. You bring some much needed calm and charm (I'll let you decide who is which) to the world. Thank you.
It's a shame you couldn't have visited 50 years ago when Wakefield was a bustling market town and people came by the tripload to visit. Sorry though, wrong Richard! It was Richard the 3rd Duke of York who died at Wakefield and not King Richard III, he died at the battle of Bosworth Field in 1485. King Richard III was also the Duke of Gloucester. The Battle of Wakefield took place in December 1460 (I almost remember it well,).
Bridge inn is my local, sandal castle is a stone throw away from my house, can see belle vue ground from my window, its brilliant to see people come to our city and enjoy it! Love wakey and living here
If you’d have gone down manygates lane you should have sung the song The Grand old Duke of York and would have seen his plinth where the Duke of York died down from the castle, in my old school Manygates middle school.
If im a medieval castle, I can't speak because I'm a castle might be the greatest quote on this channel only rivalled by Jaackmaate had sex with a horse.
A'reyt Robbie. I am a StuntPegg subscriber living near Wakefield, though from Bradford originally, on the other side of the Rhubarb Triangle, which I was surprised you missed. Please bring Nieve back to do a Five Towns video, as I enjoyed this. It could be like a Rugby League excursion for her. My home district, Manningham, were the first champions, but are now Bradford City. Welcome to my world. You could contact Catherine Warr for some local knowledge?
Did you see the mice carved into the cathedral pews? For next time Wakefield has lots of great fish and chip shops - it's tradition to sit outside the cathedral and feed the pigeons scraps..
As a wakefield native, its surreal seeing the underappreciated (not really) locations i frequent often being represented in a huge piece of media such as a Robbie Knox video. All we had before was a brief mention in the M. Night Shyamalan movie Signs.
I enjoyed that, but you’ve got a really serious mustache, and the lady reminds me of one of those ladies that comes around every generation that’s just something very different , the sort of girlfriend a semi intellectual oddball dreams about .
This is a series we have to see 🔥 get Barnstaple on the list - you’ve never heard of it but the history there would shock you, used to have it’s own language, used to be a bigger port than Liverpool. Now nothing 😆 Jo Brand described it as the only place in Devon that’s not posh (I raise you Torquay and Brixham but there we are)
Legendary combo here. You should do a series, as you are both lovely people who don't take things too seriously. Good vibe to watch on a Sunday evening. God bless
Robbie you and Nieve would be a great pair presenting a travel programme.
Yh but you can't have two robbies in the title, whoever the other one is
@@teejay9881haha
Yes he’s very good and funny 👌
Neive is so naturally funny
Great chemistry. Could watch you two visiting anywhere!
Aw, thanks Dan.

Would love Nieve to become like Becky, a Robbie Knox regular! Love your chemistry!
Enjoyed every moment! Classic cross-over that I'd be glad to see more of!
Literally saw you both while I was on the bus near trinity walk lol. Was wondering why you was in Wakefield I thought they must have got lost on the way to leeds lol.
Nieve has got to be one of the funniest personalities on UA-cam, what a gal.
if theres ever a cause to get behind its lady Stuntpegs fight to bring the meal deals down to 3 pounds!!! Nieve is so funny! yet another great video Mr Knox!
She’s amazing!
Not Nieve's normal stuff but I really enjoyed what you put together. Wakey is so understated. (And so are you two!).
Justice for Rochester!! Great video, more Robbie and Stunt Pegg.

Very true
This video is extremely surreal seen as though I’ve watched Robbie for years and live about 2 minutes outside the city centre. Great vid.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I thought it was so cool the way you played the jazz guitar at Nieve in order for her to be able to eat her cauliflower.
It worked.
16:19 I was actually surprised (and quite relieved) that Wakey Wines didn't make the video, especially considering Nieve obviously knows about it. Wakefield is top 5 nicest cities in Europe, glad you enjoyed it.
Top 5 nicest cities in Europe 😂😂🤥

This lass is really funny. Such dry humour.
Nieve has that classical slapstick kind of comedy that is sorely missed
Wakefield is the only place that's made me happy to get home to Peterborough.
We use to climb on the ruins as kids in the 1960’s
I can’t wait to visit Wakefield. I’m a Wakefield Trinity Rugby League fan. Can’t wait to see them play in person. I wear my Wakey kits everywhere. I live outside of Los Angeles. We’re coming up next season.
we meet again fella, you watch these videos often haha?
@@jat2319 Ha. Yeah. Going on a trip and packing my Wakey kit. Shocker against Toulouse.
You should go to Hawes and then visit the highest pub in Britain at Tan Hill
Those cheese straws from cooplands are phenomenal. 10/10 would recommend
The Bridge Inn is in a lovely location right on the Canal. It was called The Ruddy Duck previously and they did decent stonebaked pizza.
Hey up robbie. Get jack and stevie up and get on the Westgate run experience, you'll love it 😂😂
I rejected cauliflower when I started to have middle-class girlfriends and moved over to broccoli . After decades I decided I had , Had enough of pretending to be a broccoli lover.
And reclaimed my working class devotion to the cauliflower long before it became the new middle-class cauliflower steak frenzy
I think both cauliflower and broccoli can live side by side, irrespective of class.
@@RobbieKnox maybe now but in late 80s and the 90s , the broccoli was the new kid on the block beloved of the middle-class Cauliflower was clearly the working class vegetable.
It's definitely a cathedral, the statue is a character from a children's book
I Iive in Wakefield, it's gone down hill over the years, that's why I'm planning to to move to the cotswolds with my family
I'm from Wakefield, lived in Yorkshire all my life. That "Sculpture" is the most pointless thing about Wakefield. I always end up in a debate about it. . 😂😂

But I love the North and I love Yorkshire it's my shithole. ❤
It's NOT a football club it's a rugby club! 😂 Wakefield Trinty and Coal mining museum is in South Yorkshire, Barnsley.
Love all the videos! J.
NCM is on Overton, on the way to Huddersfield from Wakefield, but it's definitely in Wakefield, not Barnsley. I don't know where you got that from.
Nieve is so funny, she’s like the new Diane Morgan
We NEED to see Hull, I’ll send you a mundane list of things that are here to go and see
The art gallery is free for everyone
Visit Ripon, it's apparently a city.
Great video. Of course, the spicehead running past screaming wakey wines is to round it out and sums up the city's people
Missed out not doing the coal mining museum
Love the Tach. Robbie's is good too.
should of come to pontefract nearby. we have a better castle. a big park area and race course. we used to have 2 greggs across from eachother but now its all barber shops. the only haribo factory outside germany was here but its partly moved to castleford now and pontefract cakes are rank. we used to have the most pubs in a square mile in the uk, but we dont now. ummm , harold shipman worked here.....
in fact dont bother its shit. we used to be a proper town
Do Huddersfield next!!!
Nieve is awesome
She’s so great.
Please do Winchester next
Unreal scenes
Come to Ripley (Derbyshire one), most English town, also high up on worst towns in the uk 😂
Would imagine there is more to do than on a Monday in manningtree
You should’ve gone and tracked down the incredible George Green, of Wakefield . It’s certainly a mission that I want to undertake. He seems to be the big cheese in the fish and chip world.
George A Green Fisheries in this case.
@@SimonNemeth ?
@@KKTR3 That 'A' can make a difference in a Google search.
As a man from Wakefield, who hasn’t yet watched I shall answer for you. No it is not good x
Succinct. I admire that.
Anymore ski videos coming bruv?
Currently in the Alps!
@@RobbieKnox baller, looking forward to it. Big mountains no kidz 4 !
Have you really been to Wakefield if you haven’t seen Jane McDonald’s star in the walk of fame pavement?
Hi Robbie. Let me know if you're up this way again & i'll show you around Todmorden & Hebden Bridge. Take care
York Minster _is_ a cathedral because it's the seat of the Archbishop of York.
Lloyd Griffith is a liar then.
its a rugby league stadium
Stop going on bloody mondays
I need to learn my lesson.
Just run by a woke council !!
What does Ringo know about real life in Wakefield?🤗
Literally just what’s in the video pal.
How are the kebabs in Wakefield?
Should have gone Barnsley
How can you go to Wakefield and not go to the mining museum.
Too far out of Wakey to properly count.
Yes to be fair it is a bit on the outskirts.
The centre of Wakefield is dull and depressing.
Rhubarb
@stuntpegg visits failing European Cathedral
Very selective editing. Shame you didn't turn the camera around once or twice but that would have spoiled your narrative.
Umm why are u hanging around with my gf? 😅
Nieve has such a fun, down to earth personality, she's a great companion for this series. Not really giving a shit about football I would never have been introduced to her without Robbie. For the same reason I wouldn't have known about Robbie if it wasn't for putting the bins out or a wormery or something.
She’s terrific.
@@RobbieKnox is Nieve your girlfriend or just a friend? she is amazing either way you are lucky to have her :)
A fantastic tag team if there ever was one. I could watch you two bimbling around anywhere.
Great aren’t they, so well matched to go on these adventures.
This is my favourite collab on UA-cam. Loved the previous one too. More, please!
You’re very kind!
You two are brilliant together. So glad I found your channels. You bring some much needed calm and charm (I'll let you decide who is which) to the world. Thank you.
Aw, bless. I assume Nieve is both calm and charm.
Don't underestimate yourself mate...@@RobbieKnox

I'm not sure I can describe what "Wife Material" means, but I know Nieve definitely fits the bill. She's lovely. :3

Nothing wrong with Wakefield or "Wakey" to the locals, its given us a legend that is Jane McDonald
Looks like my ancestors left Britain a nice city.
___________
Yes, my real name.
Blessings.
You guys are great together. Please do more collabs! Also, thank you for introducing me to the Too Good To Go app.
Rubbish at rugby 🏉 great video as ever
that was thoroughly enjoyable.
I love Nieve and apparently I love Robbie too
stuntpegg is so sweet and funny ❤
She’s excellent!
I thought that the grand old Duke of York had 10,000 men? :)
If im a medieval castle, I can't speak because I'm a castle might be the greatest quote on this channel only rivalled by Jaackmaate had sex with a horse.
Come to Barnsley!! Not a city but would love a Robbie Knox review
I’m from liverpool and have lived in Wakefield for eight years, what a dump, it’s the land time forgot
I live in Wakefield and I couldn't agree more.
Niece is so funny, I didn’t really know if her before the pod, but she’s great
Love when you and Nieve collab!
A'reyt Robbie. I am a StuntPegg subscriber living near Wakefield, though from Bradford originally, on the other side of the Rhubarb Triangle, which I was surprised you missed.

Nieve really is just getting better and better with age 😵💫
Cooplands Cheese straws bang
Was a decent straw.
Did you see the mice carved into the cathedral pews?
For next time Wakefield has lots of great fish and chip shops - it's tradition to sit outside the cathedral and feed the pigeons scraps..
Please give this lady a job in the media working in football..Very talented and knows her stuff, great video thanks 👍
Its so weird seing my local city on UA-cam 😅
should've visited wakey wines bro
As a wakefield native, its surreal seeing the underappreciated (not really) locations i frequent often being represented in a huge piece of media such as a Robbie Knox video.
All we had before was a brief mention in the M. Night Shyamalan movie Signs.
We had a lovely time there!
Keep it up robadillio
You should go to Newark-on-Trent, a small market town in Nottinghamshire.
Pls get Ed Chapman on this series !
thank you my daugter lives there and loves it, she grew up in Vanvouver, BC
I used to live in Vancouver! Great city!
You are amazing Robbie
Thanks champ.
I enjoyed that, but you’ve got a really serious mustache, and the lady reminds me of one of those ladies that comes around every generation that’s just something very different , the sort of girlfriend a semi intellectual oddball dreams about .
Of course there is the downside she seems to possess a passion for football !!!
I don't know about Wakefield but I've just been to York and it's gorgeous. 😍
