I cant scan them, but they are packed with stickers, photos and match reports of every game for those seasons. I've just dug them out and a quick skim through showed some interesting stuff like Rangers v Hibs at Ibrox with a crowd of 16,000 in March 84 or a crowd of 15,000 for Celtic v Hibs at Celtic park in March 84 ... it seems the greatest fans in the world weren't so great when their team wasn't doing well :greengrin
Also in January 1985 Hibs chairman Kenny Waugh was in the papers denying he was about to sell the club to some guy called 'Tom Farmer'
Amusingly given current events, in February 1985 Hibs were kicking up a stink about a Hearts fanzine that had published disparaging pen pictures of the Hibs squad and staff .... with Hearts chairman Wallace Mercer apologising for it and making it clear Hearts had nothing to do with it :greengrin
I would be happy to pass on the scrapbooks to any Hibs historian who wants them, I'm sure there will be content in them you cant source any more.
