A dart, a UK map and a match in Wakefield for AwayDays
Alfie turned up for the trip on his birthday, the same day he learned he is going to be a dad, and that is what most viewers are writing about.

Throwing a Dart at a UK Map And Watching Football Where It Hits
The dart landed on Wakefield. Ellis's newest AwayDays video lets a throw at a map of the UK decide where the lads go to watch football, and it took them to a city that, as one local points out in the comments, has no professional club of its own. The match they found was grassroots football with Hall Green.
The trip has a better story than the fixture. Alfie made the long journey on his birthday, and the day brought him news that he is going to be a father. That is the moment viewers keep coming back to, along with a guest called Minimise, a four-star hotel many think was nothing of the sort, and a running question about where Ben Gibbs has gone. In true AwayDays style, the football only kicks off with about ten minutes of the video left. The description sets a target: reach 20,000 likes and the next dart gets thrown internationally.
The video passed 380,000 views in five days, and it remains the channel's busiest.
The other upload was episode 17 of 'I'm Turning £1 Into A Football Club'. With his eBay account in trouble, Ellis switched to selling on Vinted and has made £310 so far. This time he took the money to Leeds United's training ground to chase autographs on football cards, and the description admits he realized he had made a mistake in his planning as soon as he got there.
The channel as a whole is running slower than usual, at a little over half its normal daily views, and it gained about a thousand subscribers. Among the football creators close to it in size, OzanB Goalkeeper and Shea Woodsford had the big weeks, while Chris Dixon kept things quiet.
