I Predict a (rather small) Riot

"I forsee a Cunnington hat-trick today,
at the very least...."
At end of play today a very select band of Poppynetters will be nervously awaiting the result of the 2010-11 Prediction League.  Given the fact that the league table hasn't been updated since, I think, last November, we could all be in for a long, fruitless wait!

There were 42 entrants for the opening day trip to Gateshead.  This solid number soon started to droop during November to the 20 - 30 mark of die-hard Predictors.  By early 2011 it became clear that the table wasn't being updated, and the participant numbers dropped off further.

By the last month of so of the season we are down to less than 10 players.  Recent games against Wrexham and FGR have attracted just half a dozen of us who are either unwilling to let this thing die, or are so desperate be in with a shout of a win JUST IN CASE SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE IS KEEPING SCORE!

If no-one is actually keeping score anymore, do not bet against me unilaterally declaring myself the winner is the next day or so!  CHAMPIONI!  CHAMPIONI!
