Another question [MENTION=118]Hiney[/MENTION] - are you aware of any other clubs that have, or will, start to put their home programmes on their website and make them available for free?

This is an amazing resource! Not just for the football, but for little social snippets as well. My sister gave me some old programmes recently, and I was fascinated looking at the adverts for TV's that take 'less than 10 seconds' to warm up, and so on. And one of them was just after we got drawn against Liverpool in the cup in 1983 and it had the arrangements for the match; Charter Train and Terrace Ticket - £13.00!

Now you've done this site, I'll never be short of reading material...

That's seriously impressive [MENTION=118]Hiney[/MENTION] – I've just lost myself in the 1991/92 season (my first one) and I'm sure that many more hours will be spent looking over all of those.

Top effort!

Just out of interest [MENTION=118]Hiney[/MENTION] - from your tweet, it looks as though the club plan to have all post-war home progs on the official website eventually. I appreciate this will take time, but what are the implications for your seagullsprogrammes website when that becomes reality? Will you close it down or will it remain?

It will remain. There is a lot more on the seagulls programmes website - fanzines for example - so there will still be loads of unique content on my site.

Not aware of any clubs. Albion only did it because they have a lunatic fan who has spent the last 8 years in front of a scanner!!! We also have an active Historians Society that works closely with the club.

There are a few other fans that have similar archives, but not full scans. The Cardiff City guy is excellent, as is the guy who does one for West Ham

The Seagulls Programmes website has a new look:-

[TWEET]1199671123119661057[/TWEET]

Which gives me another opportunity to state that what [MENTION=118]Hiney[/MENTION] has done with this website is nothing short of extraordinary. I cannot begin to contemplate how many hours have been put into this effort so that anyone and everyone can have access to, free of charge, decades' worth of Albion home programmes. You are a star, [MENTION=118]Hiney[/MENTION].

Brilliant, much easier to flick through the programmes now (and my youth).

[MENTION=118]Hiney[/MENTION] - a couple of questions for you. I notice that the .pdf files of recent seasons' programmes that had been added to the old official Albion website don't appear to have been migrated over to the new website. Do you happen to know if they will be re-instated at some point?

Secondly: on your website, it states that scans of 2018-19 are "coming soon". Any idea when that might be?

Yes they will. I'm still working on the older PDFs and hopefully, it will be up again soon.

As for 18/19, I was waiting for the new (Seagulls Programmes) site to go properly live. They will hopefully be up by the end of this week.

Thanks for all the feedback by the way. It's very much appreciated and makes all the scanning worthwhile.
