Talent Unloaded For Nothing XI
Kevin Blackwell Considered by all those in the know to be the main reason behind Scarborough’s Football League promotion winning side in a season in which he received the club’s Player of the Year as well as his GMVC Championship medal. Literally given away by United after some marvellous service to us, culminating in a […]
Dover Colne’s Dead Body
Without a doubt, the GMVC may well be sunbathing in its increased media exposure, especially with aggregate attendances which seem as certain to increase annually as the inflation rate. During the 1989-90 season 660,181 paid to watch Conference football – an average of 1,429 per game (or a lot more if you disregard Fisher’s crowds). […]
It’s All Downhill At Yeovil
Whatever is happening to Yeovil Town at the moment, it certainly cannot be described as non-league football.
Mr T. ASH of ROTHERHITHE (& FARNBORO) 1, BOSTON UTD 0

Feeding 5000 Without The Miracle
Obviously the most important thing on a Saturday is watching football, a point so obvious that there is really no need to state it, a little like saying that the sky is big or the sun is hot. Yet, regrettably, during this day of football one also has to eat.
Runcorn’s Dirty Foul Masterclass
Even though thousands of gallons of ink have been wasted by the so-called popular press on the cynical dirty play favoured by teams like Wimbledon and Portsmouth amongst many others, the brave stab at the dirty foul big time by little Runcorn has gone by almost without notice. I refer, of course, to the Runcorn […]
FROM THE EDITOR: The First Ever FBYF Editorial
For far too long a time football in this country had been a cause without a rebel. Then came the advent of the football fanzines, publications produced by supporters for supporters. “From Behind Your Fences” belongs to this vein; the aim is to promote honest football and our small club Boston United who we dedicatedly […]
