  • In the post this week this beautiful little fanzine arrived. I’d never even heard of From London To Manchester before but eBay turns up all sorts of wonderful things. Issue 3 seems to be from the early 90s as on…

    #FloodlightFriday; From London To Manchester
  • I feel a bit bad that the first “feature” with Off The Ball (Issue 16, Winter 1988, 50p) is just a mini blog because this was a real titan amongst fanzines. After Foul blazed the trail, OTB came along albeit…

  • OK, this hashtag and the resultant blogs are supposed to include floodlights pictures for people to say oooh to but…well nothing was ever straightforward with fanzines so the back cover of The Tea Party issue 10 from March 1992 gives…

  • For any American listeners, it’s pronounced Leicester. This week’s floodlit extravaganza takes us to the home of insipid cheese, ol’ jug ears and crisps as we dip into a best of edition of the venerable old boy, The Fox in…

  • This week’s #FloodlightFriday escapade comes to you from Not The 8502, the classic AFC Bournemouth (sic) fanzine. Issue 30 covers March and April of 1993 with the team about to finish 17th in the 2nd (3rd) division, a young chap…

  • Before we get to the #FloodlightFriday bit I need to clear up the obvious confusion here. This fanzine was “better” known as ‘The Keeper Looks Like Elvis‘ but by issue 12 in December 1996 they changed the name (temporarily I…

  • Last week we enjoyed this tremendous photo of Leeds Road from issue 9 of Shrewsbury’s A Large Scotch. This, from May 1991, accompanied a grudging 2 word match report after a 4-0 reversal vs Fulham. (There was a report of…

    #FloodlightFriday; (Another) Large Scotch, Shrewsbury.
  • Issue 9 of the rather splendid long running Shrewsbury fanzine A Large Scotch came out around April time in 1991. It was a “relegation special” issue but we’re using it for #FloodlightFriday purposes today. At the time it looked like…
