This is a story from the FSF archive – the FSF and SD merged to become the FSA in 2019.
After sleepless nights, tantrums, and tears we’re very pleased to announce the shortlists for The FSF Writers Awards 2011 in association with Cult Zeros. Of the six categories shortlisted three will be decided by an FSF panel while the Photography Award will be judged by renowned football photographer Stuart Roy Clarke.
The remaining two categories will be voted for by fans: The FSF Fans’ Newspaper of the Year and FSF Football Website of the Year.
