With now less than a week to go until the new season kicks off, match 1 v Shrewsbury is available on the Predicta section of the forum, here: https://robinsnestforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=31311

Old and new participants are welcome and encouraged to take part as we attempt to stop last seasons champion, theidlerich, who overturned an 8 point deficit on the final day to nick the title from long time leader Johnsons Red Army, 131 points to 130.

It's free and only a bit of fun so there's nothing to lose except your dignity and the respect of your fellow RNF posters (if you have any to begin with). I'll try to post reminders a day or two before games on this thread, and the updated table as well, but please keep your predictions to their respective threads in the Predicta competition area of the forum.

The rules and scoring system for 23-24 can be found here: https://robinsnestforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=31274

The table after MD2. Quite frankly, it is ludicrous that FIVE of us scored maximum points in this round, when it was only achieved about twice during the entirety of the last campaign. Taking advantage of the new bonus system...Well played:

Ok, this is apparently becoming far too easy to predict. We've now had as many bang on predictions in 4 rounds this season as the past 4 seasons combined (probably).

Everyone scored either 4, for predicting no goal/scorer, or 0 last time out. Not much movement.

Roll up, roll up. A dip in numbers on Saturday - are people getting fed up of easy points for predicted a loss and no goals?

Optimism well and truly crushed, I don't think we'll be seeing quite as many positive outcomes for Saturday as we had for Tuesday. The table after MD11, which didn't take long to alter:

I'd have to check the data, but RCS might score more points if he predicted more often!

Week Saturday, v Cambridge: https://robinsnestforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=31567

Only 1 point scored in the entirety of MD12; congrats to Nesty who is the first player this season to get a point for predicting the closest minute to our first goal being scored. It's been so long I actually had to double check the "new" rules I implemented this season before scoring it:
Johnsons Red Army - 132
Haitch - 102
