    Entry is now open for the 2022/23 Prediction League.
    I’ve made the decision to lower the entry fee to £10 in an attempt to boost numbers as we did not have as many entrants last season.
    Cash prizes are on offer for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place.
    You can enter via the Paypal donate button below.
    Thank you for your continued support!

    Done!

    Should be interesting, particularly having to predict the likes of Dorking Wanderers v Wealdstone!

    Iron nil every week should get us a few points though.

    Will be doing it usual way if that is ok ?

    Could I fail twice and have 2 teams, to do that do I need to register twice or can you do it ?

    Yeah it’s a tough one to predict tbf and loads of results you don’t expect.

    What’s the prediction every game every week?

    There is some good away days though in the NL i live down south so got to loads down here Eastleigh, Woking and Aldershot enjoyable
    Weymouth was my personal favourite because they let you drink a pint by the side of the pitch but they went down so you won’t get that one

    Think home games against the weaker teams will be massive for you, hopefully the fixtures don’t put you up against a load of the better teams first up as it might destroy confidence (especially if you still have mainly kids playing) just don’t expect many big away followings from the smaller southern teams

    5 games every match day that The Iron are playing, selected by SST. Always includes our game, I’m sure SST will post the rules for newcomers. (Free Tip:- Iron nil usually gets you points)

    “Weymouth was my personal favourite because they let you drink a pint by the side of the pitch but they went down so you won’t get that one”.

    Presumably that included the players, which is why they went down!

    When I was playing in the Newcastle Corinthians League we had a cup-tie against a lower division outfit. They had a Turkish lad on the wing who spent most of the game stood on the touch line with his girlfriend smoking a cigarette. When the ball came towards him he passed the fag to her, did his little run up the wing, then when they lost possession he sauntered back to his smoke.

    Bizarre!

    Shame some of our players couldn’t pass the ball as successfully as he passed his fag, they wouldn’t have got it back like he did.

    How’s recruitment going Matt? Have we got a stronger squad than The Iron at this stage?

    In it and looking forward to pitching our respective football knowledge in a whole ‘New’ world.

    Going to be fun. Remember this helps Matt run the Forum so hope all from last season and previous seasons join and rejoin. YOUR website needs YOU and of course the ridiculously low sum of £10.

    So much fun ahead.

    Let’s just hope that The Iron’s results are not as predictable as last season.

    Until we beef up the forward line putting 0 next to Scunthorpe United will remain a safe bet!

    I will start with wanton optimism [usually do]. I do not expect to hear of targeting in any game, I expect to go for a win in every game. If the manager adopts negativity it will only end one way – badly !

    Joined! Hard to believe, but I actually won the prediction league many many moons ago, and last season I was pleased to end up third from bottom, just out of the relegation spots.

    (Also a refresher for us oldies with memory issues)

    If you would prefer to do BACS I can accommodate.

    Predictions can now found on the site menu. Let me know if you can’t find them.

    Thank you
