| Description: | Select Guide Rating Not All-Ticket follows the rollercoaster ride of Hull City AFC in the 1980s, from receivership to redemption. First-hand terrace tales and musical memories combine to form an uplifting coming-of-age story. Told with heartfelt affection, it recounts an unforgettable chapter in the story of an unfashionable club from an often unloved city. Set in the 1980s, Not All-Ticket: From Withernsea High to Boothferry Park Halt chronicles a dramatic period in the history of Hull City AFC through the eyes of a young fan from rural East Yorkshire. From relegation and receivership to the ''Robinson renaissance'', Lusmore experiences a rollercoaster of emotions, culminating in dismay at perhaps the most contentious managerial dismissal in the club''s history. In the process, he charts a course through his coming of age, capturing how it feels to follow an unfashionable team in an often unloved city. He flirts with rival sporting attractions, then tosses them aside in favour of the small-fry team in this tatty fish town. The football-fuelled adrenalin rush is soon replicated in his first forays into the local music and club scene. Discovering the delights of Hull after dark, he soon realises that Saturday is about much more than just the match. First-hand terrace tales and musical memories abound in this uplifting memoir. |
