Am I too late to put my name down for this?

Nope, if you're sure you can keep up with the forecasting each week then welcome aboard.

I'll add your name.

Please read the rules on page 1 to hit the ground running. You'll need to keep up to date with the thread once the season starts for mid-week and rearranged matches.

I'll post the first fixtures nearer the season start date...maybe a fortnight beforehand together with the deadline for your predictions.

Welcome aboard and good luck JurassicGTS.

Unfortunately this means that Gone a bit AMG (GABA) is relegated and his place taken by JurassicGTS as GABA came 2nd bottom last season.

As GABA had a good forecasting record he qualifies for automatic readmittance in season 24/25 should he so wish. If we don't get to 20 players he will also get invited back this upcoming season.

Sorry to see you go GABA, I'm sure you'll be back though.

Them’s the rules.

Enjoy, I will become a pundit.

Like Glovermart your input is always welcome fella

[Gadgetmac]

Just Lotus Notes & v15ben from last year's players still to register for 23/24 plus 1 more newbie if they come forward.

[Gadgetmac]

So - here's the situation...

Newbies have until the 21st July to register to play and even then we can only admit 1 more newbie so it's next-come next-served. Should somebody register then it's unfortunately Ronstein who's relegation is confirmed as he came 3rd from bottom last season.

If nobody new registers we have our 20 for next season (including Ronstein)!

Ronstein: Check in after the 21st July to confirm that you've squeezed into next seasons 'thon and try harder next season to avoid this situation happening again

Sadly Ronstein with Fluid now registering to play it means that you are unfortunately relegated this season. On the plus side you get the very first refusal to rejoin in 24/25 as you have an exemplary posting record and came 3rd from bottom this season.

So hopefully you'll be back!

I would like to register to play this coming season if there is space. Is it as easy as letting you know on here or do I need to DM?

Hi Fluid.

Nope, simply asking to play on here is enough - I have enough DM's from 'thoners asking for tips on how to win this thing as it is...

The simplest route is to actually run the thing, obvs!

Right...if you're 100% sure you can keep up with the forecasting each week and at other ad-hoc times then you're in.

I'll add your name.

Please read the rules on page 1 very carefully to hit the ground running, especially regarding the first weeks forecasts. You'll need to keep up to date with the thread once the season starts for mid-week and rearranged matches. Please remember, edited posts are not allowed, once you hit the 'submit' button that's it - there's no going back.

The ethos of this thread is that club allegiances are left at the door as you enter so that it doesn't descend into a slagging match in here.

I'll post the first fixtures nearer the season start date...maybe a fortnight beforehand together with the deadline for your predictions.

Welcome aboard and good luck Fluid.

3rd prediction from the bottom you've put a '-' between the numbers and not a blank space but other than that it's a valiant effort, 8/10

Yeah, all correct this time...but unfortunately you can't post twice.

I'll give you some latitude as you're clearly trying.

Nope, you've cocked that up.
3rd game down should read 0 3.

Watch him, Gadge, he’s starting early this year

Ridiculous isn't it? As if West Ham are gonna beat the mighty Cherries.

Jasey_ said:

Going soft in your old age gadge.

Well in week one I do boot out the newbies immediately who don't post at all so I figure this chap is trying his damnedest to comply so he can get the benefit of my benevolence

If he fks up next week though...

I'm a spectator again this year - but still like watching this thread. Have fun!

Why not join in next season?

JurassicGTS said:

Shame I still have to suffer seeing Notts Forest

I think Jasey's winding you up, he's like that

If you look back at the page 6 where I first posted this weekends fixtures I put in Nottm Forest and this was continued onwards by the first few contestants submitting their forecasts...until you get to Jasey who has changed it back to Notts Forest.

My hands are clean.
