Recent additions and updates

November

Robert Hutchison has sent in more results for the 1919-20 Central League Cup

.

October

John Meffen has sent me a link to material he had researched on football in Falkirk & district in the 19th Century and put on the web. Due to circumstances, he hadn’t been able to update it. However this stuff is like gold-dust and the site can now be seen through the above link.

September

All of the Senior clubs in Section E of the Club Directory have been completed. I’ve also gone back and updated some of the previously completed clubs in the preceding sections with new information.

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.

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.
