I've just found this thread and am wondering what the current thinking is? As below, the last season documented in Gordon Macey's book is 2008-09. My understanding is that Gordon was keen to produce an updated version, but that the marketing people at the Club were not supportive at the time (there was apparently a suggestion that it should be an eBook). I have never found a digital presentation that replicates the ease and pleasures of browsing that a book provides and Gordon himself, I heard, considered that statistics were very hard to assemble and read on digital devices. You can though instantly use his book, for example it takes seconds to track through the 161 appearances Andy Sinton made for us - but reviewing full details of Akos Buzaky's 114 games - matches played and with whom etc etc just can't be done using internet resources. I've been surprised at how many of our supporters aren't aware of The Complete Record. Perhaps Christian Nourry and the club hierarchy aren't aware either? I'm sure they would support the idea of producing an up-to-date version? Following the monumental effort of Chris Guy (who worked with John Devlin) to produce the magnificent Hoops Through History, it could be that the time is right to start the equally important (and historically essential) task of updating our playing history in the format so passionately achieved by Gordon Macey. |
