Well I hope everyone had a great close or silly season whichever you prefer to call it. Gutted Evil's gone but suppose it was on the cards - Ive had to remove my signature picture now!! (Thanks to AccyStanFan for making it for me so I could use it all last season)
Anyway the prediction league is upon us once again for a brand new season and Spot the Ball will make its return next Sunday night (14th Aug) at 8pm.
So please could I have everyones prediction in here please for the serious stuff which starts next Saturday against Canvey at home?? Deadline for your entries will be kick off which is 3pm BST on Saturday (13th Aug). Not long now people

Also dont forget the Accyweb bookies where you will be able to put some Ackers where ya mouth is for this game too....
I thought I would also post up the rules for the competition in this post so everyones clear from the start so here goes...
Put your predictions in the relevant thread for the forthcoming game that I start up. Please dont put something that just says 1-0 - I need to know which side you think will win 1-0. Obviously this is not as important when predicting a draw such as 1-1 or 0-0

If you put in a prediction that isnt clear in this way Ive said, it wont be valid/counted.
Next - points system...
You get 5 points for predicting spot on, the correct scoreline to the correct team - ie predict a 2-0 Accy win and they win 2-0..
You get 3 points for predicting the correct outcome but not getting the final score right - eg - Predict 3-0 to Accy and they win 2-1 or 2-0 or 1-0, wotever. If you predict a draw, say 1-1, and it finishes 2-2 or 0-0 you get 3 points...
You get 1 point or a bonus point if you dont get either of the above but you manage to guess the right amount of goals. For example - predict a 2-1 win to Accy and it finishes 2-2, you get one point because you didnt get the score right nor the outcome but you managed to guess that Accy would score 2 goals.
If you predict correctly, and get the 5 pointer, please dont also expect 3 points for the right outcome and another 2 bonus points for the right amount of goals - its 5 points and thats it!!
Finally the league table is obviously set out in order of points but in the event of people being level on points, they are ordered by when they posted their prediction. So if 5 people are level on 10 points, the one that posted first on 10 points gets to the top of the group so theres an incentive for you to post early
I think thats covered it - so get predicting people!! As usual good luck to everyone that has a go this week and heres hopin for a big win to start off with then a BLOODY good anialiation of Alty in their own back yard. Williams Lutel wondershow?? Hahaha wot about an Ian Craney 25 yarder in the last minute to win it???? That'd do just nicely
