Any content creator knows that getting the facts right and doing your research the proper way is both the core of any decent podcast, video or blog entry, but also the hardest variable to control (except the views of course). Reading books is a big investment of your time. Youtube videos do a poor job of referencing original source material. Newspaper articles frequently get the facts wrong. And podcast episodes normally serve to inflate the ego of the hosts, bruh.
The farmer boys from Enschede gave us an amazing demonstration of Dutch away support when they played and beat SC Telstar back in 2018. In spite of heavy rain, the atmosphere was good and the attendance high, and the Vak P Ultras of Enschede produced a fun and colourful tifo in the away end and were rewarded with 3 points on their way to promotion back to the Eredivisie that season.
Our beloved Hull City might be sat in the dumpster of the Championship table as we speak, but such a lowly standing will never tarnish our love for our home town club. FTBG presents a new range of fan designs that you will see on game day soon.
This week we’re going Greek with a sleek design from the Super 3 group from Aris Thessaloniki FC – simple, clear, creative and immediately recognisable.
With some trepidation, I stepped into the carriage and grabbed onto a handrail. Not a single seat was available at peak transit time so I had to politely stand among Manhattan’s finest. One of the Big Apple’s scarier boroughs lay at the end of the line, but as the doors closed and the wagon jutted forward, it wasn’t the wild characters heading back to the Bronx that were giving me the heebie-jeebies. I was apprehensive of who or what might be waiting for me at the first ever live Football (read: soccer) game I was about to attend in the World’s greatest city.
The platform was entirely empty as I stepped out. A single stairway led to an uncovered footbridge across the trainlines and towards the exit of the train station. As I climbed, the regional train shuddered into motion and continued its routine journey along the coast. A few moments later and silence resumed. It’s true, I was arriving in the town several hours before kick-off. But as I passed through the small train station and onto the main road, the silence was unnerving. With my backpack hoisted high on my shoulders, I began the ascent uphill to the stadium.
A cool and stylish design from the boys of Hapoel Tel Aviv’s Gate Five crew.
We’re late to turn this adventure into a post, but our story of travelling away to watch our beloved Hull City AFC play a pre-season friendly away on the Sunshine Coast was too unorthodox to ignore it. The Brighton and Hove Albion reserves and La Segunda big club Málaga CF were the opponents on the same day in the Marbella Football Center, but last minute plans to travel down from Barcelona without taking time off work made it anything but a conventional away day…..
14:40 – close my laptop with a vague message to my manager about “got somewhere to be” and leave the office quickly.
15:37 – walk through the door of my flat and jump into the shower as quickly as possible knowing I won’t have another chance to do so for 2 full days….
