After a very successful Airdrieonians prediction league we have decided to run one for the upcoming 2014 World Cup.
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 £5.40 cash I will assume you owed me it and spend it on beer). Please note the additional 40p entry covers PayPals admin costs.
2) All payments must be made before Thursday 12th June 2014 9:00pm UK time, Kick Off of the first match between Brazil and Croatia.
3) If you do not make your prediction before the scheduled kickoff time on match day (UK Time), there is nothing I can do the times are fixed to match the schedules.
4) A list of competitors will be produced on the Thursday 12th June , if your name is not on that list then you have not paid your £5 and you will not be entitled to the prize. The prediction league cannot be locked to paid entrants only; so anyone can take part but only those who have paid the £5 before the above date will be in the main competition.
5) All matches will be over 90 minute regulation time, extra time and penalties will not count.
6) We are looking for enough entrants to cover the cost of the prize - an Adult Airdrieonians Season ticket - if there is a small short fall I will make it up personally however if we do not get enough entrants all monies will be returned to the competitors the week following the first match on Thursday 12th June 2014 .
7) Any entry money left over and above the £225 required will be used to buy additional Airdrieonians related prizes.
8a) If you enter this competion and win but usually sit in a reserved seat you will be responsible for making up the difference. 8b) If you are an OAP or Under 16 and therefor get a reduced price season ticket there will be no cash and season ticket offer the prize is for the adult season ticket only. 8c) If you normally get a discount on your season ticket because you take part in the clubs lottery, again there will be no cash and season ticket offer.
After a discussion today i've decided I need to come up with a way of seperating competitors just incase of a draw it's never happened in the years I've been running this. So can those above please supply me with who you think will win the World Cup?
31 still needed that's a lot of people. I will sign up so down to 30 but where are we going to find 30 more in two weeks ? Ask your mates and friends if they want to play even if it's just for good friendly banter in regards to who is ahead of who in the league
I always new it would be tough especially with the experience of trying to get it up and running last season, but I thought the draw of trying to win a season ticket for £5.40 would entice some extras.
As some others have stated in many previous threads many people think the Stomp has had it's day so maybe that's as much to do with it.
Chris i will take another turn if required but will hold off to allow anyone who wants to enter so just let we know if you need diamond sab 2
Dont know how it would work about registering second entries but the offer is there
Chris Mac The only alternative I can come up with - if we get another 7 entrants then we have enough for a half season ticket and the competitions goes on?
But you guys will have to decide if that's good enough?
Maybe seven more and we are all willing to anti up another 5.40 each, I mean 10.80 still a great deal don't ya think ?
Chris Mac I will send a private meassge on Sunday 1st of June asking if current entrants would consider it, but still need the 7 to sign up before that.
I am just playing for the fun- so not bothered about winning the season ticket so I want to proceed no matter if we have 5 or 50 entries. So I'm happy with whatever is decided to do with the money.
Ok Chris finally signed up. Also I am good with any option that you decide as like most just playing for the fun of it and keep an interest in the matches.
Sabby Chris
I have got the wife to create an account "Sabby" and paid via pay pal .Predicts Brazil to win hope this helps with the numbers required
GOOD ONE, and thanks for getting behind the prediction league. Chris does everyone a huge favor by doing this so let's show him a little support and rally up a few more names or like Chris said with interest being lost we might not have a prediction league to play. (Well he didn't say that but he did say interest being lost in the stomp )
Surely we can find a few more interested parties even if it's mates at work and hey new members to the site would be a good thing to revive the topics etc
Older B there is a link on the side bar called prediction league just click on that and then there is an option that says my prediction click on that then enter your scores.
Score to the bottom of the page and click enter scores you can do one at a time or all the league matches at one.
not sure if this link work but click here and try it.
Still looking for a few more to enter the prediction league anyone still on the fence or any suggestions on how we can generate a little more interest in the League ????? Chris Mac does a great service to everyone by providing this for us but we all need to help out if we want to continue having this in the future. So let's try and make a push to get at least another ten signed up by the end of next week.

A T I D If we don't have enough for the season ticket, would it not make sence to make the prize a new kit of choice as the club would benefit anyway.....
1 X full new kit or new top and training top etc etc
You get the picture.
I'm game for any option, playing for a laugh anyway....

Now Now, I'm sure they have your size......
Spend as you wish as long as it's the club shop......
Maybe the beetroot purple would be your colour.....
Hi all,
I’m don’t think we are going to get enough entrants to justify a full season ticket, so what I am suggestion is, we use the current money as a deposit for a season ticket and the winner will then have to choose if they want the half season ticket or contribute the rest of the money towards a full ticket.
If that’s agreeable I will continue to push for more entrants and the money raised between now and the start of the world cup will go towards a second placed prize of a home or away top. Please let me know your thoughts?
If we are lucky enough to get enough numbers to get a full ticket we can revisit it?
Cheers
Chris
As an update i've had confirmation from the club that a half season ticket should we go down that route will be a ten match ticket (voucher) that can be used any time over the season. That will obviously be down to the winner to discuss with the club.
Well it's been a good week nine new names in the league, who wants to round it up to THIRTY and we will have only ten more to get next week. Way to go for all those that have signed up and good luck to all when the games begin.
Only ten more to go, do we see a late rush on the horizon to make it to 40 ? Anyone still interested have we reached out to those that may have posted in the past but have not participated in a while.
Just bumping this back up to the top as we have a late request to enter. You can enter right up until kick off time 9:00pm GMT time after that you could probably still enter if you were happy to be a match down.
£135 for a half season ticket (or contribution to a full season ticket)
I will add £5 to the total and 2nd prize get's a £30 voucher (you will have the choice whether to put the voucher to a season ticket or strip via the club or for the Supporters Trust and the stock they are selling).

I have now placed the predictions for the quarter finals and semi finals in to the prediction league, obviously I don't know who they are yet but the listing gives some indication of whose playing where.
