To kill a bit of time before the season starts, is anyone interested in a competition "Guess Town's First League Opponents Next Season"
We did something similar last season but then we weren't sure what Division we would be in.
This time we have 23 definite opponents next season, with home and away added that makes 46 different possibilities.
Fixtures are released a week tomorrow (21st) so we would need to get a move on.
Who'd be willing to enter at a fiver a go (have as many goes as you wish) with winner-takes-all.
If by any chance all 46 possibilities don't go and a "not taken" team is the first game, then the money will be donated to a nominated charity.
If we can get about 20 or so willing to enter I will start taking entries tomorrow via Paypal.

Do we choose Les or is it numbers out of a hat ? I would hate to duplicate somebody else's guess when it's completely random. And as a greedy b@stard that already gives to charity, may I suggest that if no one gets the first fixture right, it goes to the second, third etc ?? Sorry to muscle in mate and I'm in whatever the rules.

What I was thinking is that each person chooses what they want but it'll be first come first served as only one person can have each prediction. I'm open to suggestions sbout other ways to do it though.

You can double the numbers by having to predict whether it's home or away for each team.

Okay, seems like we have enough interest to run with this.
Entries via Paypal to lesbrechin@hotmail.com or by bank transfer (PM me if you don't know them)
Choose you team plus home or away, first come, first served, only one person can have each prediction.
If we don't get 46 entries then the winner will be whoever predicted the actual team. IE if someone predicted Exeter away which no one predicted but they predicted Exeter at home then they would win the pot. If it's not won on the first game it will go onto the 2nd game and so on, so someone will definitely win the pot. Entries need to be in by 9am next Wednesday. (21st)
Possible first games are....
Accrington Stanley Home Accrington Stanley Away Barnet Home Barnet Away Cambridge United Home Cambridge United Away Carlisle United Home Carlisle United Away Cheltenham Town Home - Thefish Cheltenham Town Away Chesterfield Home Chesterfield Away - Crusty Ole Pie Colchester United Home Colchester United Away Coventry City Home - Grimal Coventry City Away Crawley Town Home Crawley Town Away Crewe Alexandra Home Crewe Alexandra Away Exeter City Home Exeter City Away Forest Green Rovers Home Forest Green Rovers Away - Lukeo Lincoln City Home Lincoln City Away Luton Town Home Luton Town Away Mansfield Town Home Mansfield Town Away Morecambe Home Morecambe Away Newport County Home - Civvyatlast Newport County Away Notts County Home Notts County Away Port Vale Home - Shaun The Sheep Port Vale Away Stevenage Home Stevenage Away Swindon Town Home Swindon Town Away Wycombe Wanderers Home Wycombe Wanderers Away Yeovil Town Home Yeovil Town Away
Don't forget to let me know who you want, either by a note via Paypal or a PM on here.
I will update the list on a regular basis. First update will be after the England game tonight.

Civvyatlast has already chosen Newport at home. If he wants to change his prediction he can but he might want to stick with it. Be a bit unfair really to make him change his prediction, as it'll cause a bit of uproar if we do get Newport at home first game and it was chosen before we knew they wouldn't have a home game first.

Up to 39 entries now so £195 awaits the winner. Not too many choices left now but I will taken entries up to 10pm tonight. Just a reminder that IF the actual first fixtures is not taken, then the winner will be the person who has predicted the actual team, Lincoln are the only team that has not been taken yet, so IF we do get Lincoln for the first game and no one takes Lincoln today we will go by the 2nd game.

Just pure specualtion that though, due to the fact they've been at home every season since they returned to the league and we're the team who they've faced on the opening day most often. Don't forget, deadline for entries is 10pm tonight.
