Mothball it and restart beginning of next season

I have a few questions Les.

Given that we have known about this situation for several weeks now, why has it taken so long for you to respond ?

Why was there never some kind of plan in place if this sort of thing should happen ?

Some of your earlier statements weren't very clear at all.  We needed clear leadership regarding this and not mixed messages.

Even now, you do not seem to have set a clear deadline for the decision to be made as to what will happen with the money.  How are we supposed to plan ahead?

Given that some people have already received winnings how do you intend to ensure a fair resolution to those of us that may have won ? Why should they benefit and I don't.  Surely we should all be given £50 each !!!

Are you happy that you have handled this situation in a satisfactory manner and that we should still have confidence in you?

Could you not post a daily update as to what may happen, possibly about 5pm daily.

What measures do you intend to put in place to make sure this kind of fiasco will not happen again.


And finally,







Do you think I have been watching too may Coronavirus updates.  


Whatever the final decision Les is fine by me.

This post if firmly tongue in cheek.


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

People do seem to be split on the best way forward but as a few have mentioned my preferred resolution of holding the money until we are back to normal at the start of next season  (whenever that is) then I have decided that that will be the fairest way to distribute the balance of the prize money.

Obviously people will keep the same teams and if any entrants have team who end up being relegated from The National League, then their scores in the National North or South Leagues will count.

I hope this is okay with all entrants. Okay I might earn 0.127p interest on the money going by the current interest rates but hopefully people will accept this to be the fairest way to resolve this problem.
