I know for a fact that the mascot giving him the certificate was the highlight of the season for Ellis 😂

[@Myles-Sherlock]

Was it you in the mascot costume?😂

[@alehlete830]

goattt

[@mattduell3]

@@Myles-Sherlock i worded this poorly. I meant it was the highlight of the season for Ellis lol. No I was not the mascot 😂

[@drunkenhobo8020]

Honestly a bit disappointed the final scene didn't have it hung up on his wall. Would have been the perfect visual gag.

[@abm5119]

For real though. Best mascot interaction ever.

[@VilladsBk]

Instant classic, one of the best awaydays if not THE best. The mascot being a fan of awaydays, Exeter fans bringing the energy, the fan saying he’s gonna off himself, the penalty save, the certificate, the Exeter fans arguing with a player and just the whole vibe of blackpool. Absolute all time classic video, cheers Ellis

Ellis, I'm the "Dry Pastry Guy" and think I've got the best method ... upside down, inside first, crispy top last which is coated with a little spread of filling ... no mess, end with the best bit! SCONES:Cream1ST, PIES:Inside1ST 😁 . Also, Jon Beer is a legend, love the MNFC POD and someone tell Dave Q11 should've stayed in because going to Away Days is the best advice!

[@awaydaysfootball]

This is amazing

[@samkrauss2412]

I’m so glad you saw this comment Ellis.

[@anandmorris]

This method should be in the national curriculum.

[@RyanBromhead503]

The police at the beginning was there to protect everyone else from Ellis

[@seanlocke2228]

Afcon cup is on. Asian cup is on. Where’s Ellis? Blackpool. Good on ya!

[@ReeseJamPiece.]

As much as I enjoy other international leagues and competitions, it's nice for the lower-divisions of football in Britain to get coverage too.

[@seanlocke2228]

[@miffen461]

Went to Blackpool the weekend before you Ellis, walked into what was apparently the best pub in Blackpool. Within 2 minutes there was a guy threatening the barman with a pool cue... Kinda set the tone for the whole weekend

[@MI-lm1kz]

53 on the mascot's shirt is for the famous Stanley Matthews FA Cup final win over Bolton in 1953 I reckon

Blackpool isn’t really a violent place, it’s just a tourist destination for traditionally working class people. And as with any tourist destination, you just naturally end up with more crime because the tourists are often very drunk and at the same time you get more people trying to scam them. Meanwhile if you’re a local or just someone going about your day it’s a perfectly safe place like basically any other British town.

[@swc8544]

Well said pal. I'm a visitor of blackpool and love the place.

[@scottking869]

I went last year first time going as my friend moved there and i quite enjoyed it more then i thought i would

[@limericklad2000]

This. And given there's virtually no tourists there in January, Blackpool is virtually empty and very safe.

[@Lew99900]

Clickbait title sneering at the northern working class. Offer me Blackpool over parts of London every day of the week!

[@christophersmith3272]

Problem with that theory is that most of the violent crime I hear about comes from locals

[@brettnewcombe6934]

Afternoon. Part of the family who do the mascot at Blackpool (brother messaged you on instagram). Make sure you get that certificate in a frame! Was a pleasure meeting you and Ben, hope you had a decent trip!

[@ReeseJamPiece.]

As a Rangers fan, I have always liked Blackpool due to our close ties, their history, and passionate fans. I usually only follow the SPFL and J.LEAGUE but I've watched every Blackpool game since 2021. Probably my most favourite awayday video so far.

[@briclark2001]

Rangers fans always welcome in Blackpool

[@Tnrcasey]

769 violent crimes per 10k residents is insane. I live in a town that’s considered bad, and it only had 229 violent crimes last year and I’m in Florida and they are almost equal in population

[@davidwilliamgay4821]

Ellis and Ben that was simply a laugh and great video. Just gets better. Those Exeter fans with their beach shirts cracked me up, and your pre game look at Blackpool was a killer. There are videos on KZbin also showing the plight of Blackpool as a resort, because they have lost sight of the times. Grimsby, once the worlds, yes the worlds no1 fishing port, is the same. Luckily, a few towns in england have realised that they just cannot live in the past. One of your funniest videos so far

[@Turner94-]

Proper enjoyed this one mate, the editing is amazing, and the content is always class, those fans were mint, keep up the great work 👍👍

[@uk-hon5769]

As a reporter on Sunday newspapers in the late 1980s/early 1990s football violence was viscerally real. I know I saw it. Better policing (primarily keeping known trouble makers apart/banning orders/etc, have changed the picture and (I hope) the younger generations are more interested in the beautiful game than a melee. But football-related violence was (and is) a thing.

[@stanwilliams4]

unfortunately there's some young fans who idolise the 'old school', but they're a very little minority - for the most part, football is the priority

[@gregsaunders4]

A lot has changed since you were on the terrace 😂

[@Sp3ar.]

I think it’s the CCTV that’s everywhere that stops a lot of it from happening. A lot harder to go and have a scrap at the football and get away with it than it was 40 years ago

[@aaronhurst4379]

@@stanwilliams4 And their parents/guardians need to have a hard look at themselves if they're encouraging it

[@iandonachie9549]

This has to be one of the funnest football blogs Ive seen in years. Fair play to you guys for bigging it up. On the violence side I take the light heart humour and the sensational titles, its all about click bait and getting subscribers and likes. Good to see what you put up as an adventure as if we just relied on the football the you might just get 60 seconds worth. Anyway well fine keep it going and maybe your make a million subscribers one day... I did all of this sort of thing 40+ years ago, I'm now chilling out in Asia content on watching you guys earning your stripes.... in my time, violence was at every corner, that just as it was way back then... good vid worth several laughs

[@Manu-ry3uy]

love the channel, keep it up. PS my grandparents live near there in lytham, I've been to every place in the video!

[@RHVlogs_]

This is one of your best ever videos! Perfect combo of your new style and old school AwayDays!

[@N0_1DEA.]

Keep up the good work Ellis!

[@BlackpoolFcFanTv]

Absolutely class video. Was gutted I didn't get the chance to meet you as your my favourite football KZbinr. Once again the content was incredible and a good laugh. Hopefully you come back to Blackpool 😂 even though it's not the nicest of places. Anyway keep the content up. UTMP🍊

[@leewelch1247]

[@PeteRumley]

I'm glad you were proved wrong about blackpool, to be fair the area you stayed is absolutely horrid but when you travel 5 mins away from that area its a nice place with good people those stats are probably the town centre alone... glad you had a good trip mate 👏

[@Leojw10]

Blackpool crime rate is also higher then London but it also depends what area you go to also the popular english seaside rock sweets apparently come from Blackpool

[@donrevie721]

This is GOLD !! Give you guys a Victoria Cross EACH and a Knighthood.

[@williamwilliams3358]

From the many times ive been to blackpool I've never found the people who live their any more violent than in any other town. Most of the violence comes from the visitors who drink excessively and cause problems galore, especially in hot summer months.

I seen Exeter play twice one hole and away and fans were class both times

You’re right to say it’s a hole

[@kyzer1996]

That certificate is like the one I got for Wolfie when I did a stadium walk round with him

[@DJ_KHALID_LifeIsRoblox]

Hey away days! I’ve got a question….. where do you buy your football shirts? (Any one can response so please tell me any one😅)

[@amlmorris]

I would imagine most problems would occur in the high season in Blackpool,you would get a lot of groups of lads out getting pissed up & from different parts of the country. Blackpool & Torquay are the biggest seaside resorts in Britain & are very busy between June -september,the rest of the year these are ghost towns with nothing much going on & most things are closed,I don't believe it's got much to do do with football.

[@manchester1972]

Tell u what Ellis.. Out of all your vids I have never seen you smile as much. 😊😊😊😊... Great to see you had a wonderful time.. Blackpool is a cool place.. Is like Margate of the North...
