Recent additions and
updates August Andy
Hickey who runs the excellent Newtongrange
Star site, has submitted a number of additional clubs to the Directory, as well
as a few amendments. John
Meffen has again came up trumps, sending me the final, or as near to, tables
of the 1911-12 and 1914-15 Scottish
Reserve League and also results from Falkirk’s recent
tours to Europe. All sections up to D of the
Club Directory
have been completed. I’ve also made amendments to some of the finished clubs,
extended dates, grounds, and record scores. I’ll be continually updating
completed club pages as I receive new information. July Because of the Gretna episode during the summer, the elections page has been updated to reflect Annan Athletic’s elevation to the Scottish League. Also the promotion & relegation’s and play-off pages have been updated John Meffen has sent me final tables of the Central Combination, Midland League and of the Senior Stirlingshire League of 1893-94 John
and Stuart Robertson have also sent me some more results for the Dewar Shield. Bob Perkins has sent me his work
detailing every East of Scotland League table since 1923. There are still a
number of discrepancies in them, so if you can help with any amendments,
please contact me. I’ve been concentrating on
the Club Directory
and have been working on Section D. Thanks to research carried out by Stuart Robertson on the Ayrshire
Junior scene from 1933-1968, I’ve been able to update clubs in Sections A, B
& C giving high wins and defeats. Stuart has published these books and
are still available from him. I’ve also used Stewart
Davidson's Scottish Non-League Review (1987-2005) and his Scottish Junior Cup books (1960-1988) to do
likewise for clubs from other regions. A new page I’ve added is a
list of all the top First Division / SPL goalscorers since
1890-91, and for all other divisions from 1946-47. June
John Meffen has again
supplied extensive material covering the Falkirk area with results in the Cowan Cup, Stirlingshire
Coronation Trophy, Falkirk Charity
Cup, Dunedin
Cup and Dewar
Shield all featured. There are a number of missing results in the latter
two, but I hope to get these in due course. John’s also sent me some of
Falkirk’s results in the East of
Scotland League. There were a of course number of positional changes
because of these, but the major impact was in the 1904-05 competition.
Falkirk played a total of four other games I didn’t have which culminated in
then actually winning the title. May John Meffen has supplied
original research concerning the 1888-89 Falkirk &
District Junior Cup plus all the final tables of the Falkirk &
District League of 1898-1901. I’ve completed section C of
the Club Directory,
as well as a number of amendments to already completed club pages. I intend
to start work on all clubs beginning with ‘D’ and hope to have this section
completed within the next six weeks. A number of broken links
concerning the Stirlingshire
pages have been repaired. April Gordon Baird has supplied
me details of Cowdenbeath’s short-lived entry into the Midland League, as
well as more on Dunfermline Athletic’s reserve side in the 1935-36 East of
Scotland League. March Graeme McGinty has sent me
the game’s from Dalkeith
Thistle’s 1954 Norwegian tour. Kenny Napier has supplied
additional information on the 1902 British League Cup.
Alick Milne has sent me two
more sets of final tables for the East of
Scotland League’s 1931-32 and 1932-33 seasons, and members of the scottishleague.net forum have added
further tables for the 1970s and 1980s. Gordon Baird has also submitted new
details concerning I’ve added a new page
featuring clubs that have had points deducted
from their totals as well as one or two that have had points added. Thanks to research by Bob Perkins, the final tables of
the Highland
League is now complete. Bob has published numerous books featuring the
final tables of various non-league competitions and has graciously allowed me
to update my page with his work. FebruaryMalcolm Pagan has
graciously supplied his research of cup results and final tables for the
various Junior competitions in Dumfries-shire
that existed between 1881 and 1951. Malcolm has also given an extensive
directory of the numerous Junior clubs of the area and I’ve added those clubs
to the Club Directory.
I’ve also added results from the West of Scotland
Cup of the late 1870s, as well as additions to the list of reserve Edinburgh Cup winners
and an additional result to the Inter City League
of 1903-04, which takes Rangers off of the bottom! January I’ve added two new pages,
one covering promotion
and relegation since 1893, and the other detailing play-off matches since
1891. I’ve also updated the re-elections page
with some more voting figures. Rob
Bruce has also supplied details of the 1902 Rangers
Benefit Tournament for victims of the Ibrox Disaster. The Texaco Cup and Anglo-Scottish Cup
have had the dates added. The Scottish League
Challenge Cup for 2007-08 has been added, as well as the dates for the
preceeding competitions. The 1945-1952 Supplementary Cup,
1902 British
League Cup, 1938 Exhibition
Trophy and 1953 Coronation
Cup all added. |
