Brilliant work, Hiney!
Any plans to index or tag the programmes, so that if you wished to read the player profile of, say, Garry Nelson in 1987/88, you don't have to go through each one that season to hunt it down?
Thanks for the scans. Together, it must have taken more hours than many of us work in a week. Looking through them, I have to say what a nasty kit we had in the 1993/94 season. Also, there was real variation in the quality of the photography in the programmes. Some of it looks like it was taken...

Any help on this appreciated!
Do you scan one page of a programme at a time or do you have 23 scanners on the go, each gradually working its way through an individual matchday magazine?
