Dorking Wandering
The Dorking Wanderers FC Fans Forum
Hi all,
Is there any interest in running a mini prediction league - just for a bit of fun and to promote wider engagement on the Forum?
We could run one for all the Dorking games in each month, with a suitable prize for the winner each month. I have spoken to OLBG and they seem up for providing a suitable prize - shirt or merch perhaps. Format tbc, but something like a point for a correct result and 3 points for correct score. For those who enter, we could publish a league table each month. Or from first game in March to the end of the season. Might encourage more than the regulars to get involved and add a bit of competitive spice to our predictions!
What do people think? (A thumbs up will do)
If there is enough enthusiasm I'll have a word with OLBG and see what we can set up.
Cheers
Well, not many of us saw that performance or result coming.
The DWFCUTB jinx failed again I'm afraid, but consolation is that you go top of the table!

Congrats to @AdeB on winning the toss to claim the honour of March predictor of the month, after the tie with @HemelWanderer. Many thanks to OLBG for supplying the prize and to @DWFCUTB for standing in while I am away.
Will sort out the table for this week when I’m back on Friday.
So, another bad day on the pitch on the punting. Only the arch-pessimist, DWFCUTB, has any points to show for the weekend - and flies into commanding lead. Let's hope he crashes and burns!
And just to clarify on the scoring - its either 1 or 3 points, NOT both for the right score and result.

Well, none of us sages saw that coming 😯 so its pretty much as we were this week. I'm sure there must be some tactics to be used here to swim against the tide 🤔

Well, @Gary Munnery, you should have stuck to your pessimistic guns. Literally no-one saw that coming, so we are pretty much as we were going into the final league game .... Could it end in another play-off?

So, despite a late challenge from @GaryMunnery and @HemelWanderer (well done for being spot on for yesterday), DWFCUTB held on to secure the top punter award for April, after he somehow foresaw our end of season nosedive. Well done Paul - the natural sense of doom acquired from a lifetime of following Middlesborough has finally delivered some success! 😀
Hopefully we can arrange an OLGB / DW scarf presentation on Wednesday.
Final table for April.

Ah nevermind. Well done Paul
I was so useless that I did not even make the table. Fair enough.
@rh3 Apologies - you seemed to fall off the table - my bad. But you secured a creditable mid-table finish with a point, well above me!
Congrats to DWFCUTB for sage of April award. Hopefully the photo is accessible below:
