Smith's 08/09 Predictions

Legendary Boston United fanzine From Behind Your Fences is sadly defunct, but with the pageantry and fanfare one might associate with a Spice Girls reunion world tour, impsTALK has wheeled out FBYF’s editor, Richard O. Smith, to take part in our pre-season predictionisation feature.... MORE

It's been a long time coming: impsCAST 12

Want to hear two blokes chatting in a car park on a Sunday afternoon about Boston United saying 'y'know' every two seconds? Don't answer that.

But DO listen to the first impsCAST of the new season as we review the demotion and preview the season ahead.....MORE


08/09 Predictions

Picking a prospective winner from a two-bob provincial amateur league like the Northern Premier League is impossible.

It's a bit like trying to pick which Guided by Voices album is the best: it’s impossible. It cannot be done.

Many have tried. All have failed. But we're going to give it a damn good go, if only because we're a bit bored of writing the rough guides and need a break..... MORE

Laird hit back. Or at least try to.

'Dave', presumably a Cammell Laird supporter, has kindly taken time out to write to impsTALK and give us a few more details on his team and the town in response to our rough guide of a few days ago.

Take it away Dave:

"Where also famous for Paul 'O' Grady Aka Lilly Stavage,"
he sniffs. "Paul Heaton Of The Housemartins and Beautiful South Fame Lived 2 Miles From Rock Ferry In A Place Called Brombrough And His Father Played For Everton And Tranmere. Elvis Costello Singer When To School On The Wirral. Omd Pop Group From The 80s Where Form On The Wirral.

Which is all excellent stuff. But what really irks David, it seems, is our crass lack of knowledge when it comes to the area's shipbuilding heritage. This is, clearly, unforgivable.

"And For The Ship Building We Had Ships That Help Sink The Pride Of The German Navy The Bismark!,"
Dave roars, his hands now pummeling the keyboard in volcanic rage. "Try Putting Cammel Laird In A Seach Engine And You Be Surpraise What You Find Out About The Place. They Also Have Won A Contract With The Royal Navy That Worth A Billion Pounds"

A billion pounds? Why, that's almost as much as Bankrupt Park Avenue's weekly wage bill.

Dave continues: "And I Bet The Team You Surported Is A Run Down Slum Of Ground In A Crime Ridden Area. Full Of Single Mothers And Druggies.

P.s Duffy Not From Rock Ferry Her Relative Are From Rock Ferry."


Cheers for that Dave - you've given us a real insight into what we can expect if we make the trip over to your neck of the woods.

Incidentally, if you happen to be a visiting fan and want to add any more details to the rough guides, feel free to send us an e-mail. The guides are are work in progress and we'll add more info as appropriate. And more insults if you're a precious Cammell Laird fan.

My Muddy Valentine

The Northern Premier League. We shouldn’t have to put up with this. We’re a Football League club for God’s sake. Well, Football League in all but status, facilities, finances, past legal accounting and crowd size. Never mind the fact we’re lucky to be here at all: we’re big time. We’re above all this non-league tinpottery. So clue up on the 'teams' we're dragging ourselves to next season with the 2008/2009 impsTALK NPL Rough Guide.... MORE
