Amber Nectar is a fanzine for the Football League Team Hull City A.F.C., created in 1998 by Tigers supporters Les Motherby and Andy Dalton.
The pair decided to create a fanzine after the end of Tiger Rag (1994-97) and its predecessors Hull, Hell and Happiness (1988-92), On Cloud Seven (1990-92), From Hull To Eternity (1990-92), Last Train To Boothferry Halt (1993) and Look Back In Amber (1992-94). Described as 'an uncensored forum for the Tiger Nation', the first issue was released on February 21st 1998. The hardcopy fanzine has not been published for some time, Amber Nectar now exists primarily on the Internet.
Motherby and Dalton are members of the Fans Liaison Committee (FLC), a fans task force that regularly meets with Hull City chairman Adam Pearson to discuss supporter issues. The FLC is responsible for many changes in club policies regarding ticket allocation, merchandising, stewarding and policing. The forums on the Amber Nectar website are used to post questions and topics that are taken to the FLC meetings for discussion.
Amber Nectar is not bound by rules or regulations concerning language, argument or respect and therefore is known among Hull City fans for being forthright and unrestricted in its opinions. It also maintains a high level of articulacy and has a policy of reprimanding members who use "text speak".
