The Cobbler's own boot

Post by GodalmingYellow »

Highest score wins. Answers per official site match report and BBC site for tables:

1. Name the top 7 teams in League 2 in order after all games have been played on Good Friday. 10 points for correctly predicting 1st, 20 for 2nd etc down to 70 points for correct 7th position prediction.

2. Name the players on the Oxford bench. Points scored will be the squad numbers of the players correctly predicted. Any incorrectly predicted will have points equivalent to squad numbers deducted. You must predict a full compliment of subs or minus 1000 points.

3. Name the players who score goals in the Northampton v Oxford match for either side. Points scored will be the squad numbers of the players correctly predicted. Predicting no scorers will give minus 100 points. Any incorrectly predicted will have points equivalent to squad numbers deducted.

4. How many yellow cards and red cards will be issued in the Northampton v Oxford match? Yellow card = 10 points. Red card = 50 points. 2nd yellow card leading to a red card will be counted as a yellow card and a red card.

5. What will be the points total of the team in eigth place in League 2 after Friday's games? Points scored will be the correctly predicted points total.

TB1: Total attendance. No repeats, earliest prediction takes precedence.

TB2: Away attendance, same rules as TB1.

Good point! Thanks Hog. I've amended the original questions (there were two requiring amendment).

So, the correct answers are:

1.
Swinedown 10
Torquay 20
Shrewsbury 30
Crawley 40
Southend 50
Cheltenham 60
Oxford 70

2.
Whing 16
Brown 21
Tonkin 3
Pitman 11
Constable 9

3.
Guttridge 22
Montano 27
Williams 9

4.
7 yellow 1 red 120

5. 63

TB1: 6,860
TB2: 1,631

By my reckoning, the winner by a wide margin, as a result of correctly predictnig the entire top 7, was Yankee Clipper with a score of 217.

Honourable mentions to Hog in a distant 2nd with 136, and Bista Yellow an even more distant third with 80.
