November 15[edit]

English football archives[edit]

Is there any site which would have results for English football leagues outside the Football League before 2000? There is a site called thefootballarchives.com, but results are available only to registered users. All non-league sites which I know begin at about 2000 at earliest, and I have not found any non-league results site with results also before 2000 where results would be available also to unregistered users. --40bus (talk) 08:55, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have access to newspapers of the period of interest, e.g. via a public library? --184.145.50.17 (talk) 10:26, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
No, and there was a site called tonykempster.co.uk, but is was closed few weeks ago, and it featured some results which were only in that site, and not in any other site. I am very disappointed about this closure. --40bus (talk) 11:12, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
That's because Tony died in 2009 and the site had been kept going by friends. FCHD might have some of the info you require, either on his website or by contacting him direct. Otherwise it'll be rsssf or contacting libraries. Nanonic (talk) 11:20, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Try English Non-League Archive 1965-98. Alansplodge (talk) 19:25, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Or Non-League English Football. Alansplodge (talk) 19:28, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
These sites have only tables, no results. --40bus (talk) 08:27, 16 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I want match dates, no results tables. --40bus (talk) 17:07, 21 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
