Looks great. Where will the individual points and accumulated points be shown for each person?

Good work

Good work
That'll be up soon enough, with not having a great deal of time to develop features, we're just kind of drip feeding them onto the site as they come.

It was important to start letting people enter their predictions for Saturday as early as possible, so everyone can get involved.

The plan is to have a league table up as soon as we can, so bear with us if it's not there straight after saturdays game, so keep predicting as all your scores will be counted once the table is up.

Looking very good!

One thing that might be worth 'enabling' is for people to be able to predict for multiple games at a time, people of have holidays which means they are unable to predict every week indivisually...

What web browser you running? You'll need JavaScript initially but we're looking at ways of making it possible to use whatever you're running. Even if you want to predict your score by mobile on the road heading to the match :)

Also, Magical, multiple predictions is something we're planning on doing - this is just the first version. There's lots of work still to come!

I like it and am very confident of being completely crap at predictions :thumbup:

Just to remind everyone, you have until 2:30pm tomorrow to get your predictions in.

The cut off half an hour before the game is to avoid anyone actually being in the ground having an unfair advantage in being able to see appox. how many people are there and updating it via their phone.

I've added Dowson and Chandler to the First Goalscorer options, so if you want to change your mind to either of those two, just head back to the fixtures page and choose your options again.

As it stands we've had 93 people enter a prediction so far with :
Aldershot to win: 21
Darlington to win: 38
Draw: 34
Attendance average: 3239
With Dean Windass being the most chosen player for first scorer

How many people in the ground will have the means to predict or change the prediction? The problem with those who live away from Darlington is, having to rely on such as SKY to give us the line up for the game. THis does not happen until about 5 - 10 mins before the start.

I would be quite happy to wait until 10 mins (or 1 min) before the kick off before making a prediction. Those at the match are normally pretty crap at counting anyway.

We're up to 100! :shock:

Fantastic stuff - thank you to everyone who's taking part. I will try my best to get the league table up and running before the weekend is out :D
