The 'OFFICIAL' Accrington Stanley FC Prediction League 2009/10
 

Hello everyone!

The prediction league is back and is better than ever this year! It is now officially the Accrington Stanley FC Prediction League :)
There will be a link from the official site to the prediction league on here and there will be regular predicting newsy type updates (perhaps once or twice a week) by myself on the Official Site to let everyone know how people are getting on as well as the usual information on here :)

The table and the competition will still be run on Accyweb so dont panic!
As the club have yet again this season kindly donated the prizes for the competition, it is only right they should get their name on the competition so to speak. The winner will receive a £20 Stanley Store Voucher and the runner-up will receive a £10 Stanley Store Voucher.

So here we go again people!

For anyone new or for anyone who wants to have a refresher on the rules, heres how the competition works :

All you need to do is predict the score of the nextleague game in the relevant thread that I will post up before each game (usually a week before but can be less than that if I am busy) and all I ask from you when you post your prediction is that it must be before kick-off and it must be a clear prediction - just putting 2-1 for example will mean your prediction will become void. I need you to post who you want to win 2-1 or loose 2-1 whichever the case may be (obviously doesnt matter if you want to predict a draw :) ).

Points Awarding :

5 for a correct spot on prediction for the right final score and to the right team.

3 for predicting the right final outcome but not the right score - for example, Stanley win 1-0 and you predicted 2-1 to Stanley.

1 bonus point if all you manage to predict correctly come the final whistle is the amount of goals scored. For example - you predict 5-1 to Stanley and the opposition win 1-0 - you get a point for predicting that 1 opposition goal.

Hope thats clear and no you dont get 10 points for a correct prediction because you got 5 for getting it completely right, 3 for the right outcome and 2 bonus points for predicting the amount of goals correctly for both sides :)

Formalities over with so lets get crackin with the nitty gritty.


Our fourth consecutive league football campaign sees the frivolites of the 2009/10 season kick off with Stanley heading straight over those Pennines and deep into White Rose country to take on Rotherham United at the Don Valley Stadium this coming Saturday. The Millers made a sterling effort last season after starting on -17 to stay up, ending up finishing 2 places above us on +58 points. The past fixtures between us have seen 2 home defeats for Stanley and a win and a draw for Stanley at the Don Valley. How do you think things will go this time around??

Deadline for all predictions is this Saturday 8th August, 15:00BST.

So - get predicting and all the very best of luck to everyone this season (except Bagpuss :) ) and of course to Stanley :)

You did this all last season and once again it's the same, if you want to play we have rules it's not that difficult to say who the one goal is for, unless you're an idiot.:)

Thanks again jimbo for carrying on. Going to be optimistic and say:

Rotherham 1

Re: The 'OFFICIAL' Accrington Stanley FC Prediction League 2009/10
 

First season for me so thanks for the game
1v1 for me please

Re: The 'OFFICIAL' Accrington Stanley FC Prediction League 2009/10
 

Absolutely gutted we were robbed in the last minute today but seeing as the first prediction league is the easiest one to do :), it is now up and posted and can be seen by clicking the link below :

http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/f...ame-48737.html

Or alternatively find the thread called ASFC Prediction League Table after Rotherham game and open the attachment.

So here we go then - first congratulations of the season go to dabeast, madkev and ossy kid, all correctly predicting a 1-0 win today for the Millers. dabeast takes the honours of being top on the first game, please dont look at who is bottom :D At least you cant claim this competition is fixed...

Thanks everyone for predicting and hello to the usual seasoners that have posted this week (that includes me being well chuffed to see Michigan Red back as well) and a big welcome to the competition noobies, Redfred and smileycat63 :) Hope you carry on playing all season guys :)

Re: The 'OFFICIAL' Accrington Stanley FC Prediction League 2009/10
 

Ha Ha, now if you had said 0-1 to Rotherham.............:D

Re: The 'OFFICIAL' Accrington Stanley FC Prediction League 2009/10
 

Not even bothering any more with this one Bagpuss - especially as the rules are stated at the start of this thread and the bit that means the prediction doesnt count was highlighted in bold for gods sake (plus your warning on top of that). They have done the same for the Lincoln thread even if its a draw thats been predicted. Sometimes Bagpuss, sometimes... :rolleyes:

Jimbo T :horn8:blower

Re: The 'OFFICIAL' Accrington Stanley FC Prediction League 2009/10
 

Look at it this way Jimbo (and don't check who's next to you, but only because he posted a guess before you did) - the only way is up!:o

Re: The 'OFFICIAL' Accrington Stanley FC Prediction League 2009/10
 

Gutted :mad: - one blooming minute away from being top of the league tonight !
