Score Prediction League - 2008/09

Following suggestions on the Messageboard I have set up a Score Prediction League for the coming season. The league can be found here or via the link o the left hand Contents part of the website.
Scoring will be 1 point for making any prediction (to encourage people to keep doing it), 2 points for getting Poole score right, 2 points for getting opponents score right, 2 points for predicting win / draw /defeat and 2 points for getting exact score right. You can predict any score irrespective of whether someone else has also predicted the same score.

I will set up a messageboard thread for each match after the preceding game and anyone can feel free to leave their predictions on that thread. Cut-off should be an hour before kick-off. 
The prediction league is open to anyone to join at any time (although the later you join the further behind you will be!)
