Hi Folks!
Well, what can I say?!?! We are Ull, we are Ull, we are Ullull!! Who needs Mourinho? We?ve got Phil Brown-eeoh!!! We are going up, say we are going up!!!
Can you believe Hull City AFC have been promoted to join the big guns of the world famous Premiership?!? What a fantastic weekend I have just had. Hull City at Wembley stadium, there was no way I could miss such a momentous event. I got a very cheap return flight with Easy Jet to and from Gatwick; I landed on the Friday afternoon and headed off to my Good friends Malcolm and Ruth Samson?s house in Herts. I would like to thank them for their wonderfully kind hospitality.
I headed into London on the Saturday morning to meet up with our Mally, Murray and half of Hull that travelled down from East Yorkshire! We all met up at the St. James Park tube station, booked into our hotel and headed off to Wembley to savour the atmosphere. What an atmosphere down the Famous Wembley way!
The two contrasting colours of both sets of fans made this one of the most colourful finals to have taken place at the all new Wembley!
The Stadium itself must be thee best in the world. It is absolutely MASSIVE! It dwarfs the old Wembley. The facilities are world class and the arch is a wonderful piece of engineering.
Anyway, on to the game: The mighty Tigers had nothing to lose; Ull City have never been in the top flight of football, considering that Ull is the seventh largest City in the UK, and we were actually playing for the first time at Wembley! Just being there was enough for me.
And what a result!! It was so fitting that an Ull born and bred legend, by the name of Dean Windass scored the now historic volley that secured our top flight football for many, many days to come!! Notice I said days instead of years. I am already fed up with everybody commenting on how long we will last. Listen!! We are still celebrating our promotion, if we go straight back down again, then so be it. We will still be celebrating!! Eight years ago we were fighting for our lives to actually stay in the football league! We had the gates of the Boothferry Park chained up by the bailiffs! Very dark days indeed. So now we are going to enjoy every kick, every defeat and pinch ourselves when we see Hull City versus Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool!! Come on City Ull.
Talk soon my friends, please leave your name if you have read this article. I really appreciate it.
