Add a match card not in the list (any LMS fixture)

For LMS matches the scraper hasn't picked up (e.g. non-Lichfield matches you want to embed in a news post). Paste the LMS URL or just the fixture id; optional date and league name flesh out the card's header. After running the generated command on the server, click Refresh list above to see the new card.

Run that one-liner in Terminal. It fetches the card via the ECF proxy, writes it to match-cards.json alongside the regular Lichfield cards, and prints the embed snippet you can drop into Ghost.

Remove a match card from the archive

Deletes an entry from match-cards.json. Any Ghost posts that embed the removed card will render an empty-state placeholder. If the fid is a Lichfield fixture from the active season, the next regular scraper run will re-add it — this is most useful for manually-added one-offs or past-season cleanup.

After running the command, click Refresh list at the top to see the card disappear from the list.

HTML snippet

In Ghost: edit the match-report → click +HTML → paste → save. The card refreshes automatically when the scraper picks up corrections.

Only LMS-sourced fixtures (Birmingham, Cannock, Derby) have match cards. WDCL match cards live behind a JavaScript modal with no permalink and aren't available here.
