Prediction league 21/22 round 1 - 7 August - GET ON BOARD!

[DangerousSausage]

Another football season is about to begin, so it's once again time for the famous PON prediction league!

Everyone is welcome to have a go - whether you're a grizzled old campaigner with a sophisticated algorithm-based prediction supercomputer, or a complete newbie who just goes with gut feeling. The more the merrier! And this is how it works:

At least two days before every matchday I will post a thread with eight matches to predict, two each from the Championship, League One, League Two and (from late August) the Conference. You then reply with your predicted scores. The cut-off time for posting is kick-off. At the end of it all I'll then post a table with the current standings.

Scoring system: 3 points for a correct score and 1 for a correct result. So if you predict Oldham to beat Bradford 2-1 and they do, you get 3 points; if Oldham win 1-0, you get 1 point. Each round you can also choose one match as your joker - any points you win for that match are then doubled.

Simply post your predictions under this thread! The opening fixtures kick off at 3pm this coming Saturday and are:

 

Bristol City v Blackpool

Luton Town v Peterborough United

Cambridge United v Oxford United

Rotherham United v Plymouth Argyle

Sunderland v Wigan Athletic

Exeter City v Bradford City

Hartlepool United v Crawley Town

Tranmere Rovers v Walsall

Was hoping for our games to be included, oh well perhaps next season

It starts this Saturday! So now I'm going to be cheeky and nudge those of you who took part last season (although newbies/returnees are also very welcome):

@Dripsey3, @super_ram, @william1984, @GrannyPie, @barnet11uk, @magpiejue, @jimbob, @liampie, @CliftonMagpie, @KB1862, @Chris, @allardyces tash, @TheSkipper, @Alex, @Canadian, @weymouthPIE

Regarding the format, the object is to predict the wider Football League rather than just concentrating on Notts. As was the case for the previous two seasons, the Bananarama League will be included, but it doesn't start for another couple of weeks. To ensure that at least two divisions are always playing (and to ensure we have 46 rounds), rounds will take place on matchdays when Leagues One and Two are in action.

There wasn't a single away win among that bunch, and so there were plenty of points in our first round. @Dan is our first leader on 13 points, with @nottsnutter close behind on 12 and no less than three others on double figures!

@Dan - 13
@nottsnutter - 12
@ARLukomski, @magpiejue, @Dripsey3 - 11
@DangerousSausage - 9
@gtownjohnno - 8
@GrannyPie - 7
@4everapie - 6
@Feral Fox, @super_ram - 5
@jimbob - 4
@Megan_Elizax, @KB1862 - 2

The next round of matches is on Saturday, but I'll post the fixtures a little bit earlier than usual this time in the hope of getting one or two more on board - so probably on Monday or Tuesday. Thank you all for playing and see you then!
