Dutch League 1968/69 half way tables

Am very old school , paper and pen , love it .All games are actually played !!!!!!!!!!!!

Playing all the games is the only way to do it ! Is that one of your 'old school' exercise books

No Steve , it's a very modern A4 Project book from Wilkos mate

Nice one, Jim!
Love it!

good man just got the two Euro Finals to play before I complete this seasons records...all the lot on the computer these days...one of the Euro Finals features something of a derby game Real v Atletico

Love it That is sheer class, Jim.

But why is Willem II in the 3rd. Div?

Tell me about it Vik....Promoted though i believe

Come on lads , give me a break .I've 46 teams to fit in Willem finished 14th in the Eerste Div in 1968 , which made them 32nd in the Dutch League so to speak , which is why they're in the 4th tier , do the math chaps eh

Look at 'Go Ahead' go.
Close enough if good enough, Jim.

How about some more photos?

Still looking for a nice Willem II 2nd kit from the 70's Jim.

Re Go Ahead , very tight Eredivisie , NAC the best side for sure at half way , Go Ahead lost 4-1 at Twente last time out so we'll see .
Ian , tell you what mate , seriously considering painting Willems away kit for last season tbh , chocolate and sky stripes I kid you not
Thing is though , I've 2 different home kits for them , ones one bluebase / red disc the other white base / red disc , so don't really NEED an away kit

Do it mate...sounds lovely.

I can only find this one mate...Did they have a third kit in Chocolate?

Here you go mucker

Is it my eye's...or my computer screen...but they still look like Black stripes to me mate...although the socks look a deeper colour...seriously. When i move my lap top screen the hue changes...but it still looks black and not chocolate.

Does it look Chocolate on yours mate...or am i losing it?

Chocolate on my screen with black socks.

That sounds like another idea for a solo league. I expect Puffin is already making the teams.

Can't argue with the you tube footage , black / sky it is , thanks Ralph
Just to add I haven't painted it , it's a team Calum is gonna do , but have to say from the original link I posted , only the socks look black

its a nice strip in any case

I agree Jim...the socks looked darker than the shirt and shorts, but when i changed the angle of my laptop screen, they got darker. So it was the Link and not your eyesight bud

Tis all good stuff Ian though eh ? To be honest mate would've looked better in brown I reckon

I agree mate... I was looking forward to painting it.

I have done one before in Chocolate and Light Brown. It was a Puma kit from the 2010 African Nations Tournie, but i can't remember what Nation it was now.

Would of looked cool on a Light blue/brown inner.

I like the Chocolate Brown/Sky Blue combination ..saw Bury play in it 2009/10 season when they had the halved shirt

So did i mate...More fans owned that replica kit than the home one. Often saw a Chav wearing it, ordering his Black pudding in Bury market

as you do eat Black pudding that is not wear a Bury shirt...

we play them on Tuesday big event in Bury..

Bury indeed Leicester Fosse ....surely

very nice.....

Eredivisie Champions 1968/69 NAC , beat Sparta 3-1 in what turned out to be a winner take all last fixture


This was a couple of months back now .For 1969/70 am increasing to 53 teams 6x Divs of 8 and one of 5 .Already painted up the "new" teams , as it was , and researched most of the players I need .Struggling a bit with AGOVV and Limburgia players at the moment , so if any on here have any info , you know where to send it

Keep 'em coming Jim. More tables!

Where do you get all ya small balls from. Haven't seen them so well made.

I bought some brown ones and they were naff. Just wouldn't roll in a true line.

ooh I like the NAC kit Jim that would make a good away kit for one of my Scottish Gold/Black teams...

I got a selection of modern 18mm small balls from SW..they run true enough but are definitely a bit on the heavy side - best ones are genuine TWO panel subbuteo produced balls..I don't like the later 3 panel balls much as they have a tendancy to mishape although in fairness they are a better weight...

Thanks, Ralph. Will check them out.

Cheers Ralph , it is a nice kit , good to see you still posting on here mate

Steve , I'll bring you a couple of small balls to the next Lionhearts , got loads , because that's all I use
Final tables to follow

You're a star, Jim.

Thanks for the small ball offer.

As a bonus, perhaps you could explain how on earth you manage to lift one on to the crossbar with a retro base!

small ball society secret Steve ...to be honest if anything I actually struggle not to chip when I'm shooting with an 18mm ball mind you I can curl shots in with them as well....sometimes ! and only a slight curl but it can be done honest
