Slugger lands in Belfast…

Just landed in Belfast and am pleasantly surprised by the good weather. The pilot described it as a balmy 12 degrees as we appraoched from just above Port Patrick in Scotland! We came into the International Airport out on the shores of Lough Neagh. It was a ghost of itself from just few years ago – all the business users fly straight to the smaller, but more convenient. Of course, I didn’t know the taxi driver, but he was on first name terms with good number of my extended family! Ah, it’s good to be ‘home’!

We are reader supported. Donate to keep Slugger lit!

For over 20 years, Slugger has been an independent place for debate and new ideas. We have published over 40,000 posts and over one and a half million comments on the site. Each month we have over 70,000 readers. All this we have accomplished with only volunteers we have never had any paid staff.

Slugger does not receive any funding, and we respect our readers, so we will never run intrusive ads or sponsored posts. Instead, we are reader-supported. Help us keep Slugger independent by becoming a friend of Slugger. While we run a tight ship and no one gets paid to write, we need money to help us cover our costs.

If you like what we do, we are asking you to consider giving a monthly donation of any amount, or you can give a one-off donation. Any amount is appreciated.
