It's Thursday and that can mean only one thing; a new blog is up. This week we literally travel to Liverpool and metaphorically travel back to The End footballfanzineculture.blog/2025/11/27/i...

Went to the Made in Merseyside exhibition in Liverpool today. Absolutely brilliant exhibition about one of the greatest fanzines of all time.

Today’s #FanzineoftheDay is “another bumper issue of The Roots Hall Roar” (28 pages), issue 10 of the Southend fanzine from April 1992. Southend have had 12 fanzines over the years with the excellent All At Sea Fanzine being the last one standing.

Today’s #FanzineoftheDay is Bristol Rovers Trumpton Times issue 1 from December 1992. One of 6 Rovers fanzines, it features heavily in our AI vs Print blog this week but there is much more to it. Not sure they were winning cover awards vs The Pirate this year.

Today’s #FloodlightFriday post comes from 1990 when @mancity.bsky.social fanzine great Electric Blue carried this amazingly clear photo of a photo from the programme cover of the game vs Manyoo in May 1963.

It's Thursday and that can mean only one thing; a new blog is up. This week we delve into AI, Bristol Rovers' kits, ghosts, the early days of the internet and have a chat about some exciting new fanzine art footballfanzineculture.blog/2025/11/20/i...

Today’s #FanzineoftheDay is curious little thing this, first published in December 1990 BBBBs celebrated Wolves with a lot of reference to mad cow disease or Bovine spongiform encephalopathy, BSE as it was known before the papers got their hands on it.

Batting, bowling, BOSH! Not bad batting at 8 is that.

Today’s #FanzineoftheDay is Chelmsford’s famous 'To Be Frank' issue 11 from 1996. One staple, a brave choice. Remarkably we’ve found reference to 5 (FIVE!) Chelmsford City fanzines, not bad for a club that have only ever been as high as the National League south.

Despite now being a (badly hungover) DOUBLE award winning enterprise we've still made time to get a #FloodlightFriday post ready for your delight. *Warning, may contain terrible photography*

Absolutely humbled that our team won the Sporting Heritage 2025 volunteer award for the Voice of the Fans exhibition. With thanks to everyone who supported us and @leedslibraries.bsky.social and @britishlibrary.bsky.social for their patronage #SHAwards

It's Thursday and that can mean only one thing; a new blog is up. This week we explore features in fanzines, veering wildly from RL brawls to shelves and from winless streaks to fridges via fanzines from Sunday league football and Stourbridge. footballfanzineculture.blog/2025/11/13/g...

The post today contained a truly wonderful thing, a copy of the latest @gotnotgot.bsky.social adventure. Got, Not Got Sunderland by Bill Hern is a truly beautiful thing and includes a teeny tiny bit of text from yours truly about the 22 Sunderland fanzines we have traced.

Today’s #FanzineoftheDay is issue 7 of Gillingham classic Brian Moore’s Head Looks Uncannily Like London Planetarium from 1989. The cover boasts a handy A5 format. One day I will out all the fanzines that persevered with A4. Imagine Dickie Davies Eyes playing as you read this

Today's #FanzineoftheDay is Filbo Fever issue 2 from Leicester city fans. The cover hopes for dismal times for Forest (They were promoted this season) and celebrates Steve Bull being given a suspended jail sentence for driving offences.

Chesterfield vs Accrington Stanley, who are they?

Today's #FanzineoftheDay is issue 1 of Y'Army, a Norwich fanzine launched in 2002. A brave decision in a year that saw just 10 fanzines launched in the UK. They did it because all the other Norwich fanzines had long since died by then.

There were many terrible photos in fanzines, we have a growing selection of them including floodlights or bits of them anyway. So enjoy the cover of Brighton's And Smith Must Score Issue 4 from February 1989 for eg with a pylon at the Goldstone ground included. #floodlightfriday

It's Thursday and that can mean only one thing; a new blog is up. This week we learn about a (nearly) explosive fanzine and look back at the pickles fanzines got them self into and the excuses they used to get out of said pickles. footballfanzineculture.blog/2025/11/06/e...

Today's #FanzineoftheDay is issue 9 of Huddersfield fanzine Hanging On The Telephone, the name apparently a nod to manager Eoin Hand waiting in vain for Liverpool to call him back on transfer deadline day and I'd wager also based on a love of Blondie.

Mon 8 Dec - a date for the diary for anyone interested in hearing more about #LeedsOtherPaper, courtesy of the Ford Maguire Society.

Today’s #FanzineoftheDay is Wrexham’s Red Passion from February 2003 with the Reds in the 4th tier but heading for promotion. The cover money counter is the amount they had raised for various causes. They’d forgotten to update it on this issue so it’s probably worth a fortune.

✈️ Nutmeg on its travels 🇺🇸 So pleased to see Issue 37 sitting on the shelves of Politics And Prose in Washington DC. 📚 If you run an independent bookshop, or know one that you think might want to stock Nutmeg, then message us

Today’s #FanzineoftheDay is Shrewsbury’s A Large Scotch. It was going to be issue 13 from May 1992 but that saw our heroes in a terrible dudgeon about an impending relegation, so I thought I’d skip to issue 14 to see if they cheered up the next season...

For #FloodlightFriday we present to you the cover of issue 3 of Gillingham fanzine The Donkeys Tale from December 1989. I'm not sure Priestfield's floodlights were that good at the time but still, cracking little fanzine.

It's Thursday and that can mean only one thing; a new blog is up. This week we pay tribute to Prunella Scales, cover shock news that a fanzine spoke too soon, cuddly chairmen, making history and a 300 issue fanzine still holding its club accountable. footballfanzineculture.blog/2025/10/30/i...

As well as print, fan creativity is far from being dead as well!! This is sublime, even sung in a distinguishable accent. x.com/HeartsGoals/...

Congratulations again to @leytonorientear.com on a brilliant and uncommon achievement. As usual a superb fanzine and a brilliantly creative idea included in this very special edition. Here’s to another 300!!

Today's #FanzineoftheDay is once again from Brizzle but to maintain our impartiality it is from the City fanzine One Team in Bristol, a very unimpartial (?! - Ed) name.

Almost concluded our groundbreaking research into the eating habits of footballers in the 70s and 80s via the medium of Shoot! profiles Spoiler alert: Steak wins....... #Shoot #shootmagazine

Today's #FanzineoftheDay is Gashead issue 15 in the name of Bristol Rovers. May 1989 saw 3rd division play off fever in one half of the city though by now they were playing in Bath after Eastville was sold. Eastville had flower beds behind each goal and is now the site of an Ikea.

I only have a handful of issues 1 & 2 of the fanzine remaining, so act fast if you'd like them... linktr.ee/1882fanzine

The post has arrived, no idea what could possibly be in here.

Today's #FanzineoftheDay is issue 6 of Scunthorpe's 'Get A Grip, Ref'. As with many fanzines it was difficult to work out when this was from but news of a 6-1 defeat at Maidstone settled it to Autumn 1990 and as you can imagine sets the tone for the mood in the fanzine.

Fantastic milestone, brilliant creativity, congratulations guys.

It's Thursday and that can mean only one thing: A new blog is up. This week we channel The Carpenters, talk pie, Bovril, beer and confectionery but most of all, promote the very important @thefsa.bsky.social Fanzine of the Year award (plus one what we got) footballfanzineculture.blog/2025/10/23/f...

Today's #FanzineoftheDay issue 19 of The Mad Axeman, a review of the reasonably successful 93/94 season in the Northern Premier League division 1. Giant Axe is Lancaster City's home ground since 1905, named for its axe-head shape..

Today's #FanzineoftheDay is the always magnificent Crooked Spireite, no 48 from 1994. Chesterfield's season (The 114th Football league season) was petering out to a close but no cigar 8th place finish in Div 3 & Steve Norris was top scorer for the 3rd season running with 20 goals

It's Thursday and that can mean only one thing: A new blog is up. This week we explore the wonderful world of adverts in fanzines, F1, big brands, coach travel, driving schools, Top Dj's, 99p pints, Greek restaurants, bullion and a lot of bitter(ness) footballfanzineculture.blog/2025/10/16/t...

Today's #fanzineoftheday is from 1998, Bury's Dead and Bury(ed). Fantastic cover and name. The 97-98 season saw the Shakers in the heady heights of the first division, now of course the championship.

Today's #FanzineoftheDay is issue 3 of Classic The Soup from Kidderminster Harriers in April 1990. Renamed The Satanic Soup for this issue with a very frisky front cover.

I’m here at Leeds museum giving tours today, fanzines and much much more, (including a Leeds shirt) come on down.

Today we're going to do a special #NotQuiteaFanzineoftheDay. Quite often when I buy job lots of fanzines little oddities get thrown in that are, well, fanzine adjacent. Take this for example, the 10p programme for a Capital League fixture between Wycombe and Brentford.

It's Thursday and that can mean only one thing; a new blog is up. This week we talk about the Scottish Premier League of fanzines per club and speak to a resident of St John's Toun. footballfanzineculture.blog/2025/10/09/m...

Today's #FanzineoftheDay is from 1998 with no 3 of Aldershot's Redan Hill 90210. Redan hill is the former military practice ground next to the EBB. 90210 makes this the 2nd non league zine named after a TV show that next to Dulwich Hamlet's Champion Hill Street Blues.

Today's #FanzineoftheDay is Rodney Rodney issue 6 published in 1990 from Manchester. It's a curious beast this, full of all sorts of things about football, some of it interesting, other bits very niche (Though some still interesting). Great cover as well.

Today's #FanzineoftheDay is Haggis Supper, dedicated to the Scottish national team. Who wouldn't buy something with a cover like that and a free poster for £1.

It's Thursday and that can mean only one thing, a new blog is up. This week we reference the genesis of Punk in the GDR vs the FDR and look at a survey from the desk of an Oxford academic...I'm not selling this very well am I? Just read it, OK? footballfanzineculture.blog/2025/10/02/w...

Today's #FanzineoftheDay is the Mag from Newcastle, issue 9 in late 1989. Great name/pun. The cover commemorates Toons emphatic division 2 opening win of 5–2 win over Leeds at St. James' with Mickey Quinn/Bob Carolgees scoring 4. Leeds fans should look away n...oh, too late.
