Prediction League 2024/25 - please confirm by 24 Aug if you haven't so far. New entrants most welcome.

Evening all.  Yes, we are back for another year. 

I've spoken to most of the usual suspects at the pre-season games, and the current position is as below.  If I've got it wrong please let me know as I wrote the answers on the back of a train ticket at the Bromley game, and it promptly got swallowed at Waterloo.  No need to clog up the forum if I've got it right but I know some of you will ignore this as per normal. It's the way you roll.

If I haven't spoken to you, please let me know if you want to re-join.  More importantly, if you would like to join up for the first time,  again please get in contact.  It's very straightforward - even Colin can manage it (and actually won last year, albeit his grandson was apparently in charge).   I will insist that new joiners use the forum for their predictions, but feel free to contact me at  jago99@outlook.com if you haven't joined the forum yet but intend to.

The first match week will be Saturday 31st August to enable 14 game-weeks and 2 play-off weeks before Christmas.  Plus a week's contingency.  So I will need all entrants confirmed by midnight on Saturday 24th Aug - then I can get the divisions finalised and the fixtures out over that Bank Holiday weekend.  Nb. All promotions/relegations are subject to rules 3.5 and 3.6 but I won't bore you with this now.

Pay what you want as normal - it all helps the club.  £10 or £20 is the normal donation to cover both "half-seasons", but anything really will do.   I'm hopimg to buy a new lounge carpet so the more the better. I'll grab you at some stage, starting with Hampton on Saturday; or in a few weeks I'm sure Paul will take in the donations at the club shop (not that I've asked him).

That's it.  Any questions - let me know.

Good Morning,

OK top man.  You're in.   Can you also give Adrian a nudge please as he got promoted so would be foolish to miss another shot at the big time.

You may indeed. 

I also have name changes incoming for Sir Colin and for UrchinYid - if anyone else wants a refresh just let me know.   Ta

Scratch that - Adrian is confirmed.   If I'd bothered to read my emails I'd have known that last week.

SO - all from last year are confirmed, though currently The Dummy Team will be playing following the merger of Salad Dodger Hotspur and HuttonDressedAsLahm into the new super club, IWannaDanceWithUdogie (!).   And Sir Colin has been forced into a name change from Ivor Stand to Ida Stand due to the sell-off of the naming rights.  It will always be THE COLIN McBRIDE stand to us though.

Anyway-  ANY MORE JOINERS?  Plenty of space - I just rejig the size of the divisions - but I need to know by Saturday night so I can get the fixtures out.   Let me know on here or via jago99@outlook.com if you are shy.  I might even remember to look at my email this week.

TVM, Jago
