“This isn’t pyros, this is just people’s vapes” 😂😂😂

Glad the original was edited, the amount of blood on Ellis’ and Ed’s hands were insane, thanks for editing it out 👍🏻

Hey Ellis, great video. We have a local game in Orkney called the Ba. In it's present form it dates back to the 1850s. The Ba is played every Christmas Day and New Years Day (unless it falls on a Sunday, then it is played on the Monday). There's a boys Ba and a mens Ba. The boys Ba starts at 10:00am and the men's Ba starts at 1:00pm, the Ba is thrown up at the Cathedral. Theres 2 sides called the 'Uppies' and the 'Doonies'. The Uppies have to get the ball to the gable end of a house where a castle used to be and the Doonies have to get the Ba to the harbour. The game ends once the ba either reaches the wall or the harbour and a winner is decided by spectators and players shouting out names, the winner gets to keep the Ba. The boy's Ba is for boy's aged 17 and younger. Local businesses and houses have to put up barriers to prevent damage as the game can get very rough because there's no rules. It's a great tradition and I would love it if you'd like to come and watch it

The greatest horror was calling those prepackaged abominations pancakes.

The way you ate the pancake is unforgivable. Criminal.

I worked in Atherstone for a couple of decades, at one point my office was opposite the window where the ball was thrown from. Never took part in the game.

I went to Atherstone for the ball game in 2018. It was absolutely insane. Before the start a local told me if the ball comes near me, do not catch it. I soon saw why.

There are probably quite a few locals who are absolutely livid you got to touch the ball before the game haha

Definitely need to look into 'Uppies and Downies' played in Workington, Cumbria. It's like this but there are goals you have to get to at each end and played in two teams

The first video wasn’t even bad 😭😭

From poshest club to most violent game - classic Platten

Pancake in a bag is crazy

Great video Ellis keep them going they get better and better every upload 🔥 🐐

There is more people standing recording on their phones than actually taking part 😂😂 2024 people

Leeds would have taken more

What a family friendly video

The plywood over the shop windows reminds me of Florida, where I live. Either boarding up your windows for a hurricane or , in certain areas, you’ll see plywood up year round so other certain people can’t see inside your house.

Thank you for the (re)upload!

Not only is this channel entertaining but very educational. Up the away days

Wow they did an exact identical copy of it all on the Wednesday aswell. That’s why it’s been uploaded twice

Loving the content keep it up man

12:15 "local resident aka the former mayor" via ed chapman video

definitely need to get yourself up to Cumbria every easter in Workington for Uppies & Downies pal you'll love it..🤜🤜💥💥

Top vid Ellis 👏

I am sure you heard about Calcio Storico in Florence, would be nice to see you go there :)

A geniune quote from a guy i played uni rugby with ": My dad was a legend he held the ball for nearly 3 minutes early on. Tbf the guy was a beast at keeping the ball

Wow that is amazing it’s the first time I’ve heard of this game

I would also recommend you go the the Ashbourne Ball Game too in Derbyshire on ash Wednesday

This is insane. Would never take part. But fun to watch.

Top video Ellis

Morning guys,was nice meeting you both at Elland Rd last Saturday

Got nothing on Ashbourne’s shrove tide, up’ards vs down’ards game

Video aside (and it was a good one), I’m a big fan of the “Ciao ciao. Bye!” sign off. Very James Richardson!

Can't wait for the wick academy video I support you for traveling to wick and back in two days

At least the one in Ashbourne they are actually trying to score

Love this. And im located near atherstone and love the ball games uniqueness

This is AWESOME.

This question begs to be answered, who in the hell thought this was a good idea way back when and how did this start? LOL. Very British and very entertaining to watch. Thanks Ellis, glad you and Ed didn't get trampled!!

Search uppies and downies… another ball game in Cumbria in the UK. Very similar concept that goes on over the Easter period… worth a watch for the experience!!

One of the better football vloggers,

You need to check out Calcio Storico in Florence, definitely more dangerous but it is at least contained in a pitch. Its absolutely insane, also has the no murdering rule

The ball is merely the cherry or olive in the cocktail of violence 😂

Ellis at some point you need to travel to Florence, Italy to watch the "Calcio Storico Fiorentino". It's a violent variant of football that's taken place in Florence since the middle ages.

Re watched, thankfully Ed’s didn’t get taken down too 👍🏼

Plz do more ov these ❤

Should check out the Ashbourne one, goes on for 2 days.

You should go to the traditional calcio game in Florence!

love you ellis

Ed carries that cap off with aplomb....

Giving this version a watch to help Ellis’ bank account

watched the original but i guess i gotta watch it again to support our boy

It’s mad how you come to where I live 😂

The Ashbourne one is bigger/better

They should do this in Brixton

You need to check calcio fiorentino, it’s another dangerous ball game that is played in Florence italy

Ed is actually so funny 😂😂

I feel like this should be done during the summer

Ahh I can watch it now 😂

As you are planning on staying in England more for away days A match at London oldest ground Clapton cfc Sheffield fc the oldest football team in world And perhaps a match in Scotland Example Inverness or Nairn county 😊

Lee Cattermole mentioned 😍😂

you should look into calcio storico in italy

Please come to a pompey game as we are in amazing form

goes to a townwide scrap spent half the time eating 😂😂

That is one of the unique things that make England. We love a good scrap and pointless ball game. I say let the locals have it, it's all good fun. If they do try banning it the locals would still do it but it'll just become a scrap on the streets that aren't closed and no first aid attendance. It'll be a lot worse.

Cant believe you came here! I was going to go down for the ball game aswell but i was working

the indomitable human spirit

Waiting for Ellis to go cheese rolling next. ;)

You should go to Florence for Calcio storico fiorentino

ive lived in atherstone my entire life and never seen that mural at 2:05 before, where even is that

Nowt on Sedgefield ball game

If you visit Greece (olympiacos vs panathinaikos ) you will watch a real derby

Thank God Ellis didn't get involved in the match, giving everyone else a chance at winning

You should Watch nrk’s coverage of this. ‘Helt Ramme Sporter’

Remember last year it was carnage

You should check out calcio storico in Florence… I’d argue it’s more intense than this

great vid Ellis. Up the AD’s. up the gafknee. up the pancakes you had for lunch

It’s back!

You should do now is return and watch Atherton real football club play

This is naff compared to uppies and downies, held 3 games every year over easter. 2 sides of the town go to war with a goal at either end of the town. The only rule is there are no rules

I seen the original video it was insane!! There were horses and a man on fire and Ed killed a guy with a trident. Unfortunately he was disqualified which is why they just stood at the side at the end, shame.

wtf 😂 I’m going next year to watch 😂

Next, calcio storico in Italy. That'll be wild lol.

Hope u aint lost her by going to Warwickshire when u dont want to?❤

8:50 on the left 🥶🥶

The reason for the pancakes is because traditionally Christians are supposed to give up dairy/fats (butter) for Lent (the 40 days from Ash Wednesday to Easter), so making pancakes is a good way to use up those ingredients beforehand!

Hahah yes lad

I'd love to see you look into East German football, particular the teams that were in the old top division before reunification of Germany. Recently read a book called the The Turning Season on the subject. Really interesting.

I live in that town 😊

Do you like lasagne? You should do a video about lasagne.

I think I’ve seen this film before

Scarface🤣🤣🤣

Real

Shrove Tuesday is just English Mardi Gras

I feel like only Ellis in a Besiktas shirt would satisfy my confused body. All 6ft7 of him. *Shudder* 😍

If only you did a little bit of research you would have known that the ribbons on the ball are worth money and that's why people fight for the ball from the start

Liked and comment

Note the spelling of Atherstone at the start few seconds in

this is peak hooliganism 🤣, but why on pancake day?
