But, whatever takes our mind off football for 2 months, here we are again, a few days before the new season, and whilst we seem to have the perennial discussions on here about how thin our squad is, why we haven't bought players for certain positions that it is blindingly obvious we need, where all our JPT and sell on money has gone, and why we allow Villa to advertise outside our 'stadium', we have the distraction that is the Prediction League for our league 1 season!
For those who aren't old hands at it by now, it is basically a fun, banter filled prediction competition between posters on here based on predicting the correct result / scoreline of 3 league one fixtures of your choice from each fixture week (can be a Saturday or midweek set of fixtures). After 46 weeks we see who the winner is! Anyone and everyone is free to enter and as the weeks unfold, you'll see it get pretty fractious and tactical on here between people! Below is the final table from last season's competition to remind people of who won / where you finished. This thread will be for table updates throughout the season (please sticky it mods!)
The first week's prediction thread is up and running now so go to it to check out the rules and make your 3 predictions.
Final table from last season (you can see how close it was!):
