After running the first ever Sponsor a Player Prediction League during season 2012 - 2013 and getting a very positive response we decided to try it again for season 2013 -2014. The decision to run it came late and we initially struggled to get the 30 names so this year I’m launching it early. I have created a PAYPAL account specifically for this.
I’ve not managed to speak to anyone at Airdrieonians FC but I’m positive we will receive their support for the idea, I will confirm the cost and the players name once one has been allocated, I will announce all when this are fixed up.
Like last season I will not be entering the live competition myself and will add £25 to the kitty, so in essence we need to get 30 people willing to pay £5 for a chance to win a signed shirt at the end of season 2013-2014.
The Rules
1) To enter you must have paid £5.40 using the PayPal link below, I will not accept any other forms of payment. (If you give me £5 cash I will assume you owed me it and spend it on beer). You do not need a PayPal account to enter, there is an option to pay via a debit or credit card on the check out screen.
2) All payments must be made before Saturday 26th of July 2014 3pm, this gives me time to cancel the arrangement with the club should we not get enough entrants.
3) If you do not make your prediction before 3pm of a match day, 7:45pm for a weekday match or should matches be re-arranged for some other stupid time due to T.V. coverage there is nothing I can do.
4) A list of competitors will be produced on the 27nd of July, if your name is not on that list then you have not paid your £5.40 and you will not be entitled to the prize.
5) Playoffs, league matches and cup games will count towards the final tally; friendly matches will not count towards the prediction league.
6) All matches will be over 90minute regulation time, extra time and penalties will not count.
7) Any entry money left over and above the £175 will be used to buy additional prizes. Once again thank to Diamond F for contributing last season’s second placed prize, I’m sure it was well received.
8) The prediction league cannot be locked to paid entrants only; so anyone can take part but only those who have paid the £5.40 before the 27th of July 2013 will win any of the prizes.
On a side note thanks to everyone who has supported the various prediction leagues over the seasons, I’m very great full.
Chris ,
I have paid x2 for diamond sab and Sabby to both enter the league Payment for both coming from my pay pal account.Hope this has gone through ok .Any problems give me a shout
Thanks Billy
Chris Mac Meesh71 makes it 14 with just under a month until the first ball is kicked in anger
Chris,
RustyTX just paid should be number 15. Ok only 15 more to go and we have 34 in the World Cup prediction league so let's make a rush to sign up and not wait to the last minute and make Chris's life harder than it has to be running this for us.
All he is asking for is THIRTY people so answer the call.
quote Chris Mac]Just a reminder that I'm on holiday as of Thur 10th of July and won't be back for two weeks meaning I would like to get things up and running asap.
I'm happy to skip the cup games at the beginning of the season but would rather not.[/quote]
Chris that should be me signed up. Can you confirm.
Ok not had a single entry while i was off on holiday so options-
1) like last season drop the early cup games and hope for more entries
2) Entry cost are doubled to £10.80 and everyone who has entered pays another £5.40
3) Scrap the idea?

I will be adding the fixtures today and tomorrow.
<> Not an ideal position to be in, but I would choose option 1) if it buys you more time, review it mid/end of following week. C'mon people! <>

Agree with Diamond Forever but also willing to pay more. BUT come on everyone why do we struggle every time to get thirty people unless we beg ? Chris goes out of his way to do this and I am sure it's no fun when you feel like why bother nobody else cares. So let's get behind this and have a little fun or we won't have it any more.
I've done a little comparison of those who have entered the competition and those who have predicted but will not be able to win the top.
We've got 27 registered entries including myself all listed on the first page - Sammy Conn, DBW1878, Pesadilla, Meesh71, 33f57d7, Mistykai 1 and Tory Boy never managed to put a prediction in ahead of the Rovers Game.
Newbroom, Carlukediamond, Diamond Diehard, Clan Chief, Bigdi@mond all predicted but are not eligible to win the signed shirt.
Could 33f57d7 please confirm that I don't have you down as one of the ineligible predictors please?
