Tommy's on an ethnographic adventure 💚

Off to a match today? Got an idea of something football-themed to write?

Good luck to the Ferriby lads today at Consett and best wishes to those travelling. Here's a photo (1929) and map showing their former Vicarage Field ground and a 1962 map showing their, now redeveloped, Belle Vue. Photo from Historic England

Cranking the gears on our issue 29 - the independent voice for North Ferriby fans.. As always, we welcome your missives, doodles, stories etc to [email protected]. Get scribbling. Deadline earlyish December. Will be on sale 26 Dec vs Brid Town 💚

Tonight's highlight was bumping into former Ferriby favourite, Ben Leyland...as seen on TV with Pickering Town. And of course all the fan chat and laughs in the stand.

Disappointingly, down and out of the @EastRidingFA Senior Cup already.. Lads battled but @HornseaTownAFC took their chances and could have scored more. OK, I understood we'd have a weakened side but zero strength on the bench. Perhaps just take the fine next season 🙄

We've braved it for @north_ferribyfc vs @HornseaTownAFC in the @EastRidingFA Senior Cup. Horrible conditions so we've opted for the covered stand. Think i stepped in every puddle on the way to the ground.

@altona93fanzines.bsky.social @letomagic.bsky.social Just dropped off a LeToMagic with Ru @ozdfest.bsky.social

Eldest daughter spotted this in Frankfurt and thought of me/Ferriby. Think I'd prefer it in hoops rather than stripes 😉

Hey @ben-cansonthetrain.bsky.social, just found the programme of my only visit to Newport Pagnell back in 1994 in the county cup. We went confident against lower league opposition, but were whupped. And £9k for a new Cavalier 👌

Very pleased to have donated £130 to Hull-based Welcome House, who support asylum seekers and refugees, from the profits of our Issue 28. Many thanks to everyone who bought a copy. Hope you enjoyed our zine 💚

Proud to be featured in the latest 11 Freunde alongside some fab UK zine creators, following the success of this summer's Voice of the Fans expo. There's a ref to you too, @altona93fanzines.bsky.social 👌👍

It was a tie with Sam Aynsley so a casting vote went to Josh Thacker for his worldie the other week. Many congrats to Josh, our #FerribyFanzine Player of the Month for October 💚

1-1 draw against Blyth Spartans, yesterday. We should have put it to bed but at only 1-0 ahead, we all said, "we know how this ends". Again, very few chances. We sorely missed Clements (suspended) and Whiteley (ankle injury). Walker's goal was a peach, however.

We're back with Steeple Sinderby Wanderers' FA Cup action. Today they take on Hartlepool.

This is how our October Player of the Month is shaping up. Still time to vote over there or comment below. x.com/VFTAE/status...

Only a week to get your fanzine nominations in, folks.

Trump: ”If somebody is doing a bad job and if I feel there's unsafe conditions, I would call Gianni, the head of FIFA, who's phenomenal, and I would say, let's move it to another location. And he would do that," FIFA / Infantino = MAGA lapdog.

Frustrating night. Started really well but Ossett scored at crucial times. We switched off for their equaliser. They kept battling. Not many chances. Clements' sending off after final whistle will cause us problems. Ref never seemed in control. Good #PatheticCasuals attendance.

Steeple Sinderby FA Cup news....

Shout it loud....

Was so excited to have a nosy around @bpafcofficial.bsky.social's former Park Ave ground during the week, and what remains of the old covered terrace behind the goal. So evocative. Painted floodlight concrete blocks, counted c. 41 steps, toilet block & pre-decimal pricing.

The Ferriby lads were on fire last night. Kept 12 match unbeaten BPA at bay. Game of few chances but we pushed well in the 2nd half. Charlie Clements once again added another dimension. Stars across the pitch and we kept up the tempo. Most enjoyable night.

Game of two halves, today. Absorbed pressure in the 1st w/ top defence and were class in the 2nd. Charlie Clements was inspired coming off the bench. Top performance all round especially Sam Aynsley, Louis Kirk, Josh Whiteley and some fancy footwork from Lewis Dennison. 💚

It's Steeple Sinderby FA Cup action today...

Excited to be down at the all new Kit Kat Crescent for my partner's beloved Carlisle United vs York. Always good to get a copy of Y front too. Keeping tabs on North Ferriby away, obvs.

Today's #FanzineoftheDay is one of the big Sheffield Wednesday fanzines, Spitting Feathers. Some things never change, we join the gang in a dudgeon with Danny Wilson sacked and the club seemingly in freefall. You're still in the premier league lads, just but lighten up a bit!

For tonight's Ferriby game it's got to be this by @bobpetesarah.bsky.social @rockingbob.bsky.social. Rare opportunity for apt lyrics There's a fixture on Friday night I hope it won't rain Gonna be there for 7:45 Will I see you again? Though, we're not at Halifax. www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_fd...

Mega announcement. Now, someone, please hide his passport.

Was really pleased to present 4 cans of supermarket lager to Elliot Walker, our August player of the month, on Saturday. He's settled really well in the middle alongside Kiirky. Loving those silver boots too. Bravo, fella.

Get yer #FerribyFanzine

Enjoyable article. I suspect church folk helped establish football in Ferriby. And of course North Ferriby United was formed in the the East Riding Church League in 1934. Here's the league allocation in 1937/38. © Trinity Mirror www.footballheritage.co.uk/saturday-ser...

Hey @thefsa.bsky.social, look who I bumped into, down at North Ferriby vs Blyth Spartans, yesterday.

And many thanks to everyone who purchased a copy of our latest zine 💚💚

Cracking result and well-played lads, beating Blyth Spartans 1-0, whilst down to 10 men. Ran their socks off. Special cheers for Sam Aynsley and Louis Kirk. A well-deserved victory. & Jason St Juste playing in the FA Trophy for Ferriby again, after Wembley. Into the next round 💚

We're in our usual place. Is that the programme? I'm gamekeeper turned poacher.....was selling raffle tix last week. This week it's our #FerribyFanzine

Respect the point, I guess. Solid in defence but still lacking up front. Can't recall a good chance. We can't seem to fix this. Always fun doing the raffle, however, and chatting to folk inc Emley fans. Emley still not scored at ours since 1982...thanks to Ben Bottomley 💪

Get down to Ferriby. The beer's going down well. Don't forget to get your raffle tickets 💚💚
