Fanzine Awards - The Winners
The winning fanzines in the ‘The New Football Pools Fanzine Awards 2008’ powered by the Football Fans Census.
Over 6,000 fans voted in the Awards and comments from the judges, are as follows:
Best Overall Fanzine – ‘A Love Supreme’ – Sunderland AFC
A high standard of design and writing, combined with exceptional levels of fan participation made ‘A Love Supreme’ a hit with the fans and judges. Original, amusing and packed with content, it fully deserves its accolade as the best football fanzine in Britain.
Best Premier League Fanzine – ‘A Love Supreme’ – Sunderland AFC
Short listed in four separate categories and receiving more nominations than any other publication, Sunderland deservedly came first in the Premier League – not a phrase you often hear.
Best Championship Fanzine – ‘A Kick Up The R’s’ – Queens Park Rangers FC
The QPR fanzine took the plaudits in the Championship, praised by the judges for its design and overall presentation, the fanzine provides a terrific read for any football fan.
Best League One Fanzine – ‘Monkey Business’ – Hartlepool United FC‘Monkey Business’ impressed with its unique brand of comedy. The first edition was published back in 1989, with letters, articles, jokes and fan photos making it a very amusing read. It’s very much a fanzine written for the love of football and for those who religiously follow the Pool week in, week out.
Best League Two Fanzine – ‘The City Gent’ – Bradford City FC‘The City Gent’ has now been running for over 20 years, oozes quality and is quite possibly the oldest active fanzine in Britain. Well-written, it contains some excellent articles and is a smart, well-presented fanzine which lives up to its name – a true city gent!
Best Non-League Fanzine – ‘We’re Not Playing on THAT pitch’ – Silsden AFC‘We’re Not Playing On THAT Pitch’ touched the judges with it’s positive approach to its club. Witty, informative and generous in spirit, it encapsulates much of what is good about the beautiful game.
Best League SPL Fanzine – ‘Follow Follow’ on Footymad – Rangers FC
The site received the highest number of nominations from fans of SPL clubs - scoring over 50% of fans nominations in this category.
Best Editor – Jonathan Fear, editor of Vital Villa – Aston Villa FC
Well respected and admired by Villa fans, Jonathan Fear, editor of Vital Villa, is described by his editorial team as ‘fun’, ‘witty’ and ‘having that rare ability to poke fun at the club he loves and at himself’. Judges were particularly impressed by the contribution he has made in improving the relationship between the fans and the club.
Best Writer – Mickey Blue Eyes, writer for Blue Kipper – Everton FC
Michael Durkin or ‘Mickey Blue Eyes’ as he is affectionately known, writes for popular Everton fanzine ‘Blue Kipper’. His original, humorous and personal style of writing, coupled with his articulate approach, earned him the biggest vote from the fans.
Best Blog – Kopblog – Liverpool FC
Another accolade for Merseyside - Kopblog received the most nominations in this award category. Frequently updated with news, match previews, well written articles and reports, Kopblog is a passionate take on the life and times of Liverpool FC.
