Big in the noughties. Blast from past. Living on past glories. A shadow of its former self. #afcb https://www.rednblack.net https://rednblack-net.redbubble.com
That's awesome! Thank you Jon 👍

We're pretty confident in saying that the museum is already now the most complete set of AFCB data on the internet and we have lots more to come - and can start to build out additional views on the data we have amassed as well..

Enjoy!

It's taken a lot of work and there's a bit of data cleansing to do still but it's a big update..

You can now also click through to player records from their entry in match lineups - including opposition players - and see their record for/against AFCB!

...and the rabbit hole we went down researching this threw up another completely unrelated gem that just happens to have the same name.. but wouldn't be out of place over the tannoy at Dean Court!

This version gives us vibes of Everton's Z-Cars and Liquidator at Chelsea...

... maybe a little nod to our fans of a century ago could figure in some of our pre-match presentation again in future?

The song gave its name to a Cadbury's chocolate bar in Australia and a rocked-up version of the tune was used in an advert in the 1960s:

We'd never heard of the song so did a little searching around.. it turns out it was composed in 1825 but was particularly popular at the time of World War and into the 1920s.

...as always, everything we do will be published here on BlueSky first.

We've resurrected our old defunct Facebook presence in recent weeks to help with the museum and provide a point of contact there - so please give a like/follow/join there!

We hope you enjoy what's there and can see the potential of this project. Many many hours of work have already gone into this and thousands more are to come...

...and we're going to need *your* help to get there! #afcb

We still want the exhibits, the curios, the stories, the memories. Having our database of players and results as a backbone will give us a framework to hang this all one and create something of massive value for our community.
