Following what can only be described as the phenomenal success of the world cup prediction league.................but seriously, folks........providing that Ross has no objection and there is some interest, I'd be happy to administer the following competition for the coming season.
All entrants pay an initial stake, I'm thinking a tenner, tho' happy to go with a lesser amount depending on what the general consensus might be.
Then starting with the first saturday of the new season, entrants select a team, from either the Premier League, the Championship, the First or the Second Division to win their match. If you get it wrong, you're out, if you get it right, you select a team for the following saturday, etc, etc until there is only one person remaining. That person then receives the total amount staked....less whatever it might cost me to transfer that money to them, should there be a cost....and then we can start all over again
The catch, where selecting a team is concerned, is that you can only pick any particular team just once. So, if you pick, say, Chelsea to win on the first Saturday, then you can't pick Chelsea again for as long as you remain in the competition, assuming that Chelsea win, of course
Please note that I wouldn't be messing about with paypal or similar for the stake money. It'll be a case of my bank a/c no. and sort code and trust on your part.
So, providing that Ross has no objection ( a yay or a nay on your part would obviously be appreciated, Ross) and you're interested in participating, let me know, let me know what you think is a reasonable amount and let's get this show on the road.
