Great idea.

If a hit is it worth looking at getting this set up electronically so predictions could be submitted online via the Trust website (a la the POM on the Fishy) and then setting it up, if not done so already, so payment can be done by direct debit automatically? For example, I don't have PayPal currently so can't play.

Less hassle for all parties and will encourage people to keep playing.

Good work PSG. Commendable.

Am in - predictions and reference e-mailed to you. For those who don't have Paypal it is very straightforward and safe to set up and use.

I've just done this, and it's worth pointing out that you don't have to have a Paypal account to make a payment.  Once you have created a logon and added the entry to your basket, you will be presented with just the option to pay by Paypal.  If you click next you will be directed to the Paypal screen, which contains the magic words "If you do not have a Paypal account.....".  You can complete payment using your credit or debit card as you would on any other website.

If this takes off, it mught be worth adding options for 5 / 10 / 20 entries so people can pay up front and just PM their predictions (rather than having to pay individually each time).  Maybe even a season ticket in the longer term

There have been 15 entries paid for and submitted, but quite a few others have indicated they will do it later today / tomorrow.

So, the pot is currently £30 meaning £12 for the prize fund and £18 for the Trust.

Was hoping for a quite a few more than this to be honest, so fingers crossed we get some more entries before 2.30pm tomorrow.

I have already posted on Grim Outlook but I can't access the superb new official site from work and don't have a log in.

If anyone can post on there for me it would be appreciated.
