However, the last one I saw sold for £70. On the other hand, I'm hoping to self-publish an edited and expanded collection of the historical articles I've been writing for the match programme over the last few years. It will, however, be a collection of stories rather than a complete history. Ian King's meticulously researched history of the club must be more or less finished and a couple of us have been discussing self-publishing with him. (*sings*) "Have a little patience" The stories from the program book sounds interesting from a neutral perspective. TBH some official histories are obviously labours of love but aren't so great to read as they can be a bit dry and stat-oriented. Be sure to let us know one way o the other if anything comes out because I'd be into reading it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know, there have been four books/booklets published about junior football in Irvine: "The History of Irvine Meadow XI F.C." by James F Delury (published around 1960) "The Wee Vics" by Forbes D Brown (pub. 1997) "The Legend of Vics & Meadow" by Lesley Hunter (pub 1986) "Irvine Meadow XI FC Centenary Brochure" (pub 1997) About a year or so ago, Vics were selling some second-hand copies of "The Vics" for £4 each. It's a really good book, which I often use for research, and I now wish I had bought myself a spare copy. Does anybody know if there are any left? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll keep an eye out on e-bay for these as I'm going through a wee spell of trying to pick up Junior books so if you or anyone knows of any good ones I'd love some recommendations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darvel Pie Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 What was your thoughts on the game?I thought it was a pretty even game but we did miss the better chances 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 What was your thoughts on the game?I thought it was a pretty even game but we did miss the better chances Yeah both teams could have scored 2 or 3 goals easily with better finishing and both keepers done well too. You guys did miss a few guilt edged chances especially in second half. A draw probably a fair result on the day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
