Database Files (For personal use)
SoccerData databases are in use by many private individuals and by corporate bodies such as Sky Sports and the Football Association. They were first sold under licence in 1992, and are regarded as the most accurate on the market. However, after 22 years, Tony has decided to withdraw the databases from the market at the end of 2014. No further updates will be provided, though you can of course visit the English National Football Archive at www.enfa.co.uk
They databases are supplied as “raw” data files for you to analyse and process however you wish. You will need a database program such as Access, or a spreadsheet such as Excel, or you should be familiar with computer languages such as Visual Basic.
The prices quoted are for personal use on a single computer and are inclusive of media, postage and packing. Some people I have dealt with ignored the licence terms and supplied the data to commercial organisations, who then profited from the use of the data. I don’t think that is fair! I have been obliged to take legal action in the past and will not hesitate to do so again. If you intend to use the data for commercial purposes, on more than one computer, build it into a program of your own that you plan to sell, or use the it on the internet, you need a commercial licence. Ask me for details.
The ‘raw’ databases are supplied in both dBASE or ASCII comma delimited format. dBASE format can be used by spreadsheets such as Excel and databases such as Access. ASCII format is used if you plan to use a word processor or write your own programs. Data is supplied on CD-ROM or can be e-mailed to you.
Paypal "buy it now" buttons are provided for the most popular choices, but if there is something you need that does not have a button please email me at soccer@innotts.co.uk
The database includes only those games that contributed to final League tables. Therefore excluded are abandoned games, those of season 1939/40, test matches, play-offs, the expunged records of Accrington Stanley, Wigan Borough and Aldershot, and the Scunthorpe v. Exeter game of 1973/74, which was never played. The complete results require 6Mb of hard disc space.
The complete results £60

results of these competitions for non-league clubs are priced at £30 each or

same as that used for the F.A. Cup, except that the qualifying round group
number is not used. Dates of games
are not included.
Single
user licence terms
Soccer Data databases are the result of man-years of development by
the author. You are entitled to use
the Soccer Data databases for private purposes on a single computer.
An additional licence to use the databases commercially, on more than one
computer, on the Internet, or to distribute them to third parties, is available
subject to the payment of a negotiated fee.
You are of course
permitted to duplicate the data on your own machine for purposes of back-up and
security. It is recommended that
you do this regularly, and keep the master discs safe in case you corrupt the
data by accident.
