Title: Missing League Bulletins – Can You Help?


E&E Rich

Recommended Posts

Some of you will know that I am in the process of creating the largest historical football club website in the country. www.eefconline.co.uk

 

For one of my projects I am compiling tables that cover results, result dates, attendances and even postponements where I can find that out for Epsom's first team, reserves and youths and their opponents from 1918 to the present. It involves the input of around 350,000 cells of data so it is not a small project. Oh yes and I am also covering every game of the League Cups that Epsom have entered too. This is not just Epsom results, I have almost all of those, I am covering all teams in Epsom's division or cup competition. Once completed it would make a substantial archive and is obviously free to view.

 

I am trying to fill in information for the Combined Counties League and whilst I have most of it, I have realised that the best way to do this is to get sight of the League Bulletins. I am currently reading through Isthmian League Bulletins from 1988-2006 that have been loaned to me and would like to do the same for the CCL Bulletins.

 

I do have many of these already, but am missing the following:

 

2006/07 - all season

2007/08 - all season

2008/09 - all season

2009/10 - 1,22,29,40

2011/12 - 21

2012/13 - 4, and from 34 to end of season

 

Someone somewhere must have held on to them! I have already tried lazarus but he had a computer issue last year and lost all of the old data. If anyone out there has electronic copies (or hard copies) of any of these, please can you drop me a line, either here or by PM please? 

 

I am also looking for old Suburban League Bulletins (1977/78 to 2011/12) and Southern Youth League Bulletins  (1983/84 - 2011/12) if anyone has any. I would also provide a credit on the club website for those that are able to help.

 

Thanks

Wish I could help Richard, but after my 'enforced' absence, I've lost loads and loads of bulletins.

Give me a few hours... I'll be able to bung a few of these your way. I've pulled the complete Suburban League Bulletins for 2006-07 out of my email archive and I'm about 25% of the way through 2007-08. I should also have 2008-09 as a minimum too.

 

I've also got some Southern Youth League bulletins from this period, although not a complete set. Have a look at your inbox in the morning - there should be something there.

Staggering that in this day and age with storage so cheap that people are still not backing up their vital data.

I never received that data originally, so couldn't back it up.

 

However, thanks to the assistance provided by Mal Williams, Jackie Comer and Gareth Coates I have got nearly everything that I require for now and intend to place them all on the Epsom website for reference for any other potential historians. That might not be for a few weeks but it will enable access to these documents for the future.

 

Again thanks to those who were able to help. I will produce a new update next week with the ones I am still missing.

Here's a quick update of what I still require, just in case anyone has any of these:

 

1977/78-2005/06 - All Suburban League

1983/84-2006/07 - All Southern Youth League

 

CCL (Combined Counties League) - SL (Suburban League) - SYL (Southern Youth League)

 

2006/07 - CCL - all season 

2007/08 - CCL - all season - SYL - 1,2,4,14,15,30 - SL - 21

2008/09 - CCL - 1,3,4,5

2009/10 - SYL - 24,32 - SL - 5

2010/11 - SYL - 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 - SL 1,2,3,4,5,6,7

2011/12 - SYL - from 5 to 30 inclusive, 33,34,35,any others after 36 - SL - from 5 up to end of season

 

Thanks once again to all who have helped. If you have any of the earlier bulletins in hard copy only, that's fine too, as I would take pictures and create online versions for them.

 

Finally, just to clarify a point that was raised, personal addresses and phone numbers that are on the electronic Bulletins will be deleted from the versions that I put online. I now have around 1,500 bulletins so it may take a while before this happens though! Please keep them coming to Richard.c.lambert@gmail.com
