in April 2005, the magazine contained articles criticising the Premier
League for opposing UEFA's proposals for more home-grown players to be
included in first-team squads, alternative solutions to the ten point
rule for deterring clubs from administration, a report based on the
FSF's first comprehensive survey of ticket prices at English league
clubs and a brief history of Grimsby Town.
It also had the usual smattering of letters, e-mails, columns and comments, as well as now-regular favourites like Feverbitch.  |  | |
| |  | Published at the start of the 2005/06 season in September 2005, issue two carries a feature article on the Glazers' summer takeover of Manchester United, told from the perspective of the fans it affected.
Italian ultra culture is examined from two perspectives and the FSF investigates the notorious vaguaries of the fixture computer.
TFS Issue two was high on humour, saw the maiden appearance of Dear Famous Celebrity (Emmerdale's Charlie Hardwick kicking us off in fine style) and also featured a stunning Stuart Clarke (of the Homes of Football fame) photographic centre spread for the first time. | | |

January 2006 saw the launch of TFS issue three amidst a blaze of serenity. In depth features on Red Bull's takeover of Austria Salzburg, the Premiership's dwindling crowds and the ticketing situation for the then forthcoming Germany World Cup, make this a weighty tome of important issues.
But wait! What's this? Attack of the Mildly Restless Letter-Writing Pedant, Feverbitch and a zany, off-the-wall and somewhat 'left-field' reviews section mean that you won't die of boredom when reading it. | | |
| |  |
Reviews of the FSF's biggest ever operation at a World Cup and in this case in Germany, the 2006 FSF Fans' Parliament grace the delightful pages of this fine publication alongside the firm family favourites now synonymous with TFS.
The iridescent Feverbitch, the irrepressible Attack of the Mildly Restless Letter-writing Pedant and the irritating Vic Crescit all provide added perk, and wait until you hear who we got for Dear Famous Celebrity - it's only Dave Spikey of Phoenix Nights fame. | | |
| |  |
In this issue you'll find an indepth report into the issue of Safe Standing and how the situation works in Germany which can be seen in more detail in the the FSF Safe Standing Report launched at the end of May.
You'll also find the iridescent Feverbitch, the scarily-accurate footballing horrorscopes and a look at all the campaigns that the FSF have been involved with over the past couple of months all packed in for your enjoyment. | | |
| |  | The newly-relaunched tfs 006 features an indepth interview with Eco-Warrior and Premiership 'keeper David James and a look at goaline technology with Hawk-Eye inventor Paul Hawkins.
But wait! What's this? Feverbitch and our resident fashionista reviews some of the silliest strips ever to keep you mildly amused from cover to cover.

| |  | tfs 7 features an in-depth interview with Ken Loach (the bloke who wrote Kes) about football, films and finance; Dear Famous Celebrity with ex- Eastender Tom Watt; Fight your corner with a head to head debate about the Football League's treatment of Leeds United nestling amongst all the normal tfs light-hearted features including the much-loved Feverbitch guaranteed to keep you mildly amused from cover to cover. | | |
| |  | Packed with all the usual festive frolics and Christmas capers, tfs 008 is sure to be on everyone's wishlist. With a hard-hitting look at the issue of club ownership including the Fit & Proper Persons' Test and the recent takeover of Ebbsfleet United by MyFootballClub, alongside interviews with Nick Hancock, Fulham's very own Lee Cook and Rushden & Diamonds' Andy Burgess - it's guaranteed to make anyone's Christmas. | | |
| |  | tfs 009 is bursting with all the sort of life-enhancing stuff and nonsense we know you simply can’t live without. tfs 009 includes everything you need to know about the Premier League’s plan to pimp the English game out to the highest bidder – plus how you can help us make sure they don’t get away with it. And also features an exclusive interview with Reading’s controversial Irish international star Stephen Hunt. | | |
| |  | As you contemplate the full horrors of the forthcoming close season, compounded this summer by our national teams’ collective failiure to qualify for this summer’s European Championships, you may find that even the first rays of summer sunshine are failing to put a spring in your step. But fear not – there’s a brand new issue of our members’ magazine The Football Supporter on the streets. And it’s brimful of stuff and nonsense which we hope will soften the blow of the football season finishing.
tfs 010 features interviews with, amongst others, Britain’s favourite Agony Aunt Denise Robertson and Burnley’s visionary Chairman Barry Kilby, all manner of musings on football’s current buzz-word “Respect”, and all the usual stuff and nonsense which we know you simply can’t live without.
