Hi everyone,
Following on from last season's nailbiting conclusion to the "guess how many Stones will lose by this time" prediction league, it's time to start over. Will it be Raymondo and nws duking it out again at the top, or will stewjm prevail this time by starting at the same time as everyone else?
Rules:
You can join anytime, but you must make your prediction in advance of kick off, I will ignore any predictions (or edits) made after a time when it appears beyond or close to kick off time. Points are awarded as follows:
1 pt just for posting a prediction
2 pts for getting the correct outcome (W/L/D)
5 pts for getting the correct score
2 pts for the closest attendance prediction, but 5pts if predicted exactly.
Predictions are welcome, please keep them to this thread - I might not see them elsewhere, and if you change your mind at any point, put a new post in by quoting your original one - I record them as they are posted and I might miss an edit. Good luck everyone!
Just to clarify for everyone - new and old to this - this only covers NLS games (and the play-offs if we get there). Feel free to predict cup games if you like, but they won't count for the table.
New rule from 10th January. If you are posting a prediction within two hours of kick off, please also post the actual time of your prediction. When I come to include late predictions after the game the time of posting is not always displayed accurately by the software.
Updated following the heartbreak at Worthing.
Martin Luther King once said "We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope", and so as we climb out of the pit of despair we have to look forward to another season in the NLS and in the words of Angus Kinnear (Leeds Utd's CEO speaking after Leeds choked against Derby in the play offs in 2019) we have to hope that "We're not dicking around with the play offs next time."
So here below is the final table, and congratulations go to daveu who essentially just needed to turn up this week to ensure that he couldn't be caught.
Nothing remarkable in the points won this week, Clydestone and bear5 finished strongly with a correct result, and many had backed Worthing perhaps planning for the worst and hoping for the best. Hongkongstone picked up the points for closest on the attendance despite being almost 12% over the "official" total. One has to wonder if HMRC will be doing a headcount from the tv pictures.
New entrants are still welcome.
