This report has to start with a virtual minute's applause, please, in memory of Bernard, who as Revived Red has played the Prediction League throughout the time Jeff and I have been running it, and probably for years before that. And after the applause, let's raise a glass to him.
That said, I have to report 100% participation
in the league for this afternoon's game down the line at Crewe, with a good majority anticipating a third win on the trot
, despite the fact that we've only previously managed 3 wins from the first 4 games once since rejoining the League. 18 for us
, 5 on the fence
and 5 fearing the worst
.
4 of the 18 took maxis
, and they are all in the top 4 places (though 4th is a 3-way tie, so there are 6 in the top 4
). Mike A is top of the heap with 15 points, Tom D sits 3rd with 14, and Andy D and Ossy Kid are 2 of the 3 in 4th
with 13. They are joined up top by Shurm in 2nd, equal points with Mike but behind on countback (no maxis, while Mike has 2) and Nige B, the 3rd of the 3 in 4th
who are equal in all countback measures.
Everybody who is playing has picked up at least 5 points from the 4 games so far (but people always get more points when Stanley are winning
- and long may it continue
).
The first table of the season is attached. This is the time for anyone who's serious
about results to check and see if they've got the points they think they should have. If my end-of-season data rollover has gone wrong
, I need to know about it pronto!!
So off we roll to concrete cow land to take on the franchise. Pretty much mid-table - scoring lots
and conceding lots
- 4 out of 5 doesn't look impossible ....
On Stanley On!!
