Create your football history archive. Every match you've been to is already part of football's record — the scores, the scorers, the grounds, the dates, sitting in archives somewhere. Bootleg Stub gives you your slice of it. Search for a match and it comes with everything attached. Or write in the ones the records missed — the 1999 final, the midweek cup replay nobody covered. The most-watched sport in the world, on your shelf. - Log live, log later. A match you went to last night, a match you went to in 1999. Both go in the same archive. - Claim the matches you're going to. Tell Stub who you support and you'll get a heads-up the day before they play. Tap Going, and the stub fills itself in at full time — then asks how it was. - Find the next one. See what's on near you or in any city, and save the matches you're eyeing. - Friends, not followers. Your stubs are visible to the people you choose. No public profiles, no leaderboards, no metrics dressed up as encouragement. - The archive builds itself. Every match you log adds to your map of grounds, teams, competitions, countries — the shape of your football, drawn over time. - A stub is a thing to share. Send a finished stub to a friend. Or keep it. Free — no subscription, nothing held back. Keep the stub.
