Another milestone reached today. Finished the 2010's. Just two more seasons to go now. At least it should be done before the first of the new season's start to come in.

Having started this at the begining of September I have (at last) just uploaded last season.
There are over 3,600 progs that have been scanned in.
Nearly 6.500 images overall.

Would I have started it if I had known how long it would take? God knows.

Any feedback on ways to improve it would be appreciated.
Or scans of missing programmes will be great.

Cheers, Jamie

Congratulations Bow

I can fill in a few of the gaps. Where do you want me to start?

I still have a few of the newspaper type ones to put on. Have to use the camera as they are too big for the scanner. I supose that starting with the oldest first will be best but anywhere will do.

Just uploaded the yearbooks by the way.

Cheers, Jamie.

Jamie, your site is fantastic. It will be invaluable to me as I slowly build my Rovers collection!

Do you need/want a scan from the friendly match away at street in the Cica Tournement from 96/97? I went to the game, the cover is signed but I know I have a copy at home.

Ash

Yes please Ash, that would be great. Could you let me know the size in mm, how many pages and the price it cost on the day as well.

Thanks for your help, Jamie.

No worries Jamie. I want to do a bit of programme sorting over the weekend, so will sort it then and send a scan over to you.

Jamie, your website is excellent. Keep up the good work. Do you have a spare copy of the Colchester United v Bristol Rovers 08/09 programme available for sale in excellent clean condition? This was the Official Opening of the Weston Homes Community Stadium.

Top effort - well done !

Every team should have one

Bloody hell it's pretty much done.

Started 1st October finished 5th August.

310 days. 132 pages on the site. Approx 3,580 scans.

What sort of idiot decides to do such a thing?

Interesting to see you have the 1st Leg of this odd fixture played in Bristol and I have the second leg played in Macclesfield.

Great stuff MPW.
I will add that one when I get home from work if that's ok.
Will give you a mention as the supplier as well.
Could you let me know the size and amount of pages though?
Cheers, Jamie.

The measurements are the same and this programme was also only a four pager. It was played on the 3rd of September 1949 so I don't know whether the date on your home leg is incorrect or they also met a year previously?

The two of those programmes were sold by me to you both.
You could have rubbed the £10 price tag off Wink

I believe the one I have has been sold on since you possessed them bazza. I bought mine from somebody who has since sold his collection Thumbs Up

one of my favourites too

I left the price on because I still can't believe how much I paid for it. Laughing

That must have been over 10 years ago. I got them off an old boy that played in both matches

If you need images against Leeds then please let me know, I will only be too happy to help.

Do you want to exchange links?

It's taken a while but if you still fancy swopping links give me a shout.

Cheers, Jamie.
