3 winners in week 4, meaning they share the prize money giving them £18 each.

The first winner of Freds DVD offer will be revealed when the table gets published later in the week. This will probably be Friday night as I am working away for most of next week.

Stats -

175 people have had at least one go (just not in the same week!!)

85 people qualify for the first published table (3 or 4 entries)

59 people have entered in each of the first few weeks.

Thank you to everyone who has had a dabble so far. Now can we all work together and try and persuade an extra mate to have a go. Its still not too late to qualify for the table later in the season.

Overall league table should make interesting reading! Most of the matchday rabble in the Goose seem to have a go, not sure about other pubs etc.

Out of interest Derek, what's the craic with there being no coupon this weekend as I'd have thought people would still happily fill one in for the weekend's games and you could even include the Friday night games? Obviously too late for this week but one to bear in mind for future TV games?

I understand what you are saying, but what about the people who only have access to it on a Sunday. Surely we deserve the odd Sunday off to have our Sunday dinner (which my wife has already bemoaned). I worked hard to get everything done including the website updated (bar the table) by about 10.45 last night. I actually start work on the forecast on the morning of a Sunday game printing off the online entries.

It was good hearing it being talked about alot on the terrace yesterday, just wish more would do it. We can't be everywhere and we are very grateful of the help of all the collectors on board at the moment along with all the individuals who push it with their mates.

There will be a coupon or two that spreads out past the Sunday, there will be a coupon for next week, for which the deadline will be Saturday, although I could leave Leigh off and make it Sunday as normal. I will make that decision later in the week. I will also probably be doing one for the Sheffield rearranged Sunday game but again I will have to look at the fixtures from the following week to see if I have enough games for 2 coupons.

This doesn't run itself I'm afraid, but I want to do the job right and upset as few as possible, as I said the helpers we have at the moment are doing an excellent job, our new Collection point at Ginas in Pennington yielded 17 in the first week. Contrast this with when I asked for a volunteer to cover the Park Inn (all it would take is 30 minutes on a Sunday) and got no response whatsoever. Fortunately I have only had one person come out and give a reason for not doing it which was something to do with their dislike of the LISA organisation (I don't need that).

Not a criticism Derek, just a suggestion!

[size=50Especially as there should be enough games on Thursday, Friday and Saturday to leave your Sunday dinner uninterrupted[/size

Didn't take it as a criticism Matt, I was just trying to point out that while I have it running quite smoothly on a Sunday I took the opportunity of taking a week off. I have also been working away for the early part of this competition, and therefore I have been running around more than I wanted to be. I am also away till Thursday this week, and am hoping I can get away from Maidenhead by 2pm so I might get back for the game on Thursday.

I also fear when we do not have games I will have entries of under 100 which I didn't really want. The first away game v Worky we only got 95 entries.

=#FF0000edit: I will have look at whether there is a way I can maximise entries when we don't play Sundays.

Just had a quick look at my scores over last few weeks, and must say im pretty consistent. i've not been too far off top score each week, and when i came top i was pretty clear. Surely i've a decent chance of bein top of the table!

If there s ever another week you want off Ill collect them all in and mark them all no problem at all, let me know LYnda

I have added the first table of the season, which doesn't look as presentable as I 'd like but it will do for now. I will possibly update the Poker League table later on this evening from my Hotel on the Thames near Windsor

Ha ha


I had a feeling I'd be top. Happy days! Lets hope Leyth are clear at the top after tomorrow.

Well i am an healthy 6th so quite pleased.

Is it done on an average score or total score?

I think the score at the side of your team name is your average jonny.

Thats, correct its your average score

Belting, so it does'nt matter if i'm working away and miss a few games then!

Not really, best 12 (probably) will count, so you will be able to drop your bad scores from 13 onwards

Thought Id more entries tbh but ah well

There are so many names which are 'care of Lynda Pike' I reckon you have lost count but will check

Found all but one of MY actual entries, and that one hasnt had 3 goes just two so that explains it lol

This Comp is a like a Marathon , not a sprint ,i plan to make my move up the table slowly and show Frank B he knows nowt about rugby



.

The next coupon is now online, deadline is 3pm Sunday 20th March but I will be at the Barrow game on the 19th so I can take them then. They will also be available on the supporters coach/coaches.

why are fev on twice? im confused

Well it seems to me we always forcast 9 games. This weekend however South Wales Scorpions kick off at 1pm so clearly cannot be on the coupon for the 3pm final time for submission. Demon needed another fixture which is why he has included next Thursday Evening's match. qed.

Which is why, next to the fixture on both the paper coupon, it has the date Thursday 24th March. I am sure I will be able to complicate it even more between now and the end



Seriously though it is quite difficult with teams playing on different days, so sometimes I do not get enough games on the Sunday. From now on every week will have a deadline of 3pm Sunday so I would hope that some people who would normally enter by paper coupon and can't get to one of the outlets will do it online. I have no objection to doing that whatsoever and one or two used that option a couple of weeks ago. All that is required is a note in the comments section of the online coupon before you submit it. Its easy enough to meet up at some point the following week or next home game. I trust you all you see

Apologies Wayne for confusing you, but this week I will be able to tease you all with who might be in with a chance of winning after I have marked the coupons for the first 8 games.

[size=50Also can one or two of you occasionally click on an advert or two on the website.....please[/size

Sorry, I forgot to say, Frank you are spot on

this stinks LOL
could you not just of given us all a "bye" and 3 points for the 9th match this week instead of making us wait?

thannks for explaining D. i didnt notice the date on the fax game
