Well done, that man. And this season, you can have @lookersstandandy bombarding you with emails, messages, texts and carrier pigeons to make sure you don't forget to post your predictions. 

thank you. i am really looking forward to it. there were times last year when i thought i'd almost got the hang of it.

There are many OWTB members who prefer to watch/read and not post a great deal. Prediction League is for you too, just like it is for @milnrow latics, @aidan_latics, @a259 & @Ak's11. Why not join them?

 

All you have to do is, pay the £10 entrance fee via PayPal to stevie_j@owtb.co.uk (Please note the underscore) with your OWTB username in the comments box. Half the money goes into the prize fund, the other half split between OWTB running costs & O4U's chosen charity.

 

Then, place your Prediction for the MK Dons (h) game in the following thread;

It was also suggested to change "The Terraces" to "Opinions4u Latics Forum".

Have mods considered going ahead with this?

Chuffed to be part of such a coveted list but I'll have to decline. A bit like any time I've joined a fantasy football league, I know my enthusiasm for the competition will wain pretty quickly. I'd be more than happy to contribute to O4U's chosen charity though when details are announced.

This is exactly where I am too.

Obviously the mods would need to ok this. But I really couldn't think of anything better than doing this in his memory.

Respected OWTB members - in the all time reputation leaderboard - with whom the competition & beneficiaries would greatly benefit, that are yet to have actively participated in Prediction League; Can we convince some of you to join up?

Thanks for the kind invite Andy. I'll have to sit it out unfortunately as I'd start off keen and just end up doing what I normally do with Fantasy Football leagues and lose interest after 2-3 weeks.

There are 5 Predictors with a guaranteed place in this season's Championship who are yet to renew. @Latics_Fanatic, @NewBlue, @Stainrod, @underdog & @yarddog73. If any of these Predictors choose not to rejoin, then their Championship places will go to the highest placed [Championship] relegated Predictors from last season, who are Lawman, @Runningman, @simplythemostimportantkick, @Handsy & @HarryBosch, assuming these Predictors also renew.

Just seen your message. As others have said, thanks for the invite! As others have also said, I struggle to get time to even login here these days and I've orphaned too many fantasy football teams before the end of September to know that I'd fade just as quick with this
