    Athletic News 1912-1921 (you have these on microfilm)

  • les hoole commented  ·   ·  Report

    I would love to see the athletic news 1895 to 1898 and 1908. these date compliment the dates you already have for researching the early days of the northern union 1895 is when the great breakaway happened one of the most momentous and reported events in British sporting history. the first Australian tourists, the 'kangaroos' visited in 1908 another missing year but oh so important

    these dates are important to the history of the northern rugby football union

    Progress is very slow on this they are all on microfilm so can't see the problem really

    I would like to echo what Andy Mitchell said nearly three months ago and ask when we can expect more Athletic News pages.

    The Athletic News has been a very useful addition, but nothing has been added for a few months now. When will more years (1877-79 and after 1887) be coming on line?

    Great news! A welcome addition.

    This was also requested a year ago. Ended up with hundred of votes. BNA did nothing. Probably do not have the rights to add it. Pity.

    Thank you for the update. Sorry to nag but this title is a must!

    Can the library provide an update on the digitisation of this newspaper please. Thank you.

    Any latest on this? This newspaper would be a stellar addition to the website.

    Disappointing that you are ignoring this title. Come on do the decent thing

  • David Wood commented  ·   ·  Report

    Despite this being 2nd in the list of most voted papers to add there are still no comments from the BNA .... Will you consider this ??

  • David Pendleton commented  ·   ·  Report

    Covers all manner of sports and the comments of individual writers give a feel for issues of the day. Invaluable for rugby's great split of 1895 and the spread of football.

  • keith richards commented  ·   ·  Report

    Very good for League Football with reports and lineups of most games

  • Glenn Piper commented  ·   ·  Report

    Microfilm copies are at Manchester Central Library if you are looking for a source

  • Rick Glanvill commented  ·   ·  Report

    A similar publication worth considering/voting for is 'Football Chat'.

  • Andy Mitchell commented  ·   ·  Report

    Despite its title, this is a primary and authoritative source of information for football researchers, and would be an invaluable addition to the BNA.
