3 Up 3 Down #2

Eary doors, and quite shockingly awful predictions so far. The full pro rata-ed table is printed below :-

As regards the relegation teams, if things carry on as they are only Stockport feature in ANY predictions (21 of us). We seem to be better up at the top - 7 predicted Fulham as Champions, with another 10 predicting promotion in 2nd or 3rd. Watford had 18 preditions of promotion, with 7 predictions of 2nd. Bolton had 13 predictions of promotion, of which 6 were for 3rd position.

So, in terms of predictions, someone who isn't on the list is in the lead, Steve Meek (brother of Bill, son of Bill). He predicted Bolton, Fulham Watford then Gillingham, Crewe Stockport. So 4 out of 6 ain't bad.

Now then, Town. Four people (Mr Rob, Jon Frow, Richard Dawson and Claudia) said Town would be 15th and three (Nick Jackson, Andrew Lumbard and Keith Collins) said Town would get 49 points.

Keith C is maintaining last year's form as he also predicted Watford to go up and Stockport to go down. He's still the daddio to catchio.

There are far too many people with absolutely nothing right whatsoever to mention them all. So I'll mention Miles Moss, Matt Hare, John Firth, Pete Conboy, Bar Larder, pete green, Dave Whincup and Nigel Beane. Oh, that's all of you.

Nick0, the man with the coat, you scraped in with Stockport. Scrape is the right word to use near Stockport, isn't it.

Now which of you predicted Huddersfield to go up? I won't name and shame until they go down.
