Not All Ticket: "See you at Wembley Mr Slush!"
http://slush2easington.blogspot.com/2014/04/see-you-at-wembley-mr-slush_10.html
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was 'A Hull Of A Time'. Thursday, 10 April 2014. See you at Wembley Mr Slush! I could say I'm not going to Wembley this weekend on principle but I'd be lying. Little did I know when watching Mark Herman's 'See You At Wembley Frankie Walsh'. For the first time in the 1980's that almost thirty years on I'd be acting out a very similar story-line to this Hull City-related film. It was only when listening to the post-match local radio chat in the car on...

Not All Ticket: May 2014
http://slush2easington.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was 'A Hull Of A Time'. Saturday, 24 May 2014. One Day In May. As this is primarily a nostalgic look at City and all things Hull. My account of last week's trip to the FA Cup Final is on my other blog, 'A Game In Four Quarters'. However, having used this occasion as a focal point for previous posts, it appeared churlish to not at least make passing reference to it here. Anyway, off you pop and enjoy the read. Links to this post. Labels: FA Cup Final.

Of moths and man (and other stuff): July 2015
http://mothsandman.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Of moths and man (and other stuff). Sunday, July 26, 2015. With the abysmal weather of the last few days and a mounting workload before summer holidays next week, natural history has taken a bit of a sideline. I have had the moth trap a couple of times which has resulted in three new species for the garden. Firstly, Lunar-spotted Pinion Cosmia pyralina,. Not one that was on my radar and threw me at first when i turned over the egg box. Not unsusal locally though apparently. Sunday, July 19, 2015. Not one...

Not All Ticket: Fulham in Flashback
http://slush2easington.blogspot.com/2014/05/fulham-in-flashback.html
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was 'A Hull Of A Time'. Friday, 2 May 2014. England's World Cup winning captain played in the first City game I watched live.but it took memories of the Hull Daily Mail 'Green' to prove it. On Easter Monday (21st April) the Hull Daily Mail. Issued a "Flashback" special inside its usual sporting pullout. This eight-page supplement was dedicated to the much-missed (by me anyway) Saturday night Sports Mail. The caption read "BACK OF THE NET! Secondly a...

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was 'A Hull Of A Time'. Sunday, 8 February 2015. Feethams photo is one for the kit geeks. For someone like me who is a bit of a self-confessed ". Kit geek", trawling through old match programmes can prove immensely rewarding. Every so often I come across an action photo that leaves me thinking, "I never knew (insert team name) played in (insert colour)? From the Darlington v Hull City programme 28/12/82. That night the Tigers had "mashed up" the sty...

Not All Ticket: September 2014
http://slush2easington.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was 'A Hull Of A Time'. Saturday, 27 September 2014. Stuart Croft - now pub landlord but once City regular and scorer of the winner in my first away match. Later today, instead of paying fifty quid to see The Tigers entertain the reigning Premier League champions, I'll be heading off to the village of Bentley near Doncaster, where my local team Easington United meet Bentley Colliery in a Central Midlands League North fixture. Stuart Croft was a memb...
