    Due to a change in my circumstances, I won't be able to guarantee the regular posting of the predictions and results after this coming weekend, so I think perhaps it's time for a replacement.

    I've thoroughly enjoyed doing this since taking over from Sid just over two years ago (on the old BBC 606) and I hope we can find a volunteer to keep up this bit of fun and perhaps improve it for everyone.

    I really don't know what is the process for change, so I will just leave it up you folks to decide and I'm sure you will organise something for the FA cup weekend.

    Well thanks for the good work Argus, I hope you will stick around.

    Don't think we have a process, volunteers required I think, first who can commit gets it for me, what do others think?

    As said, thanks for your efforts.

    Any volunteers? And the name shall remain in Argus honour, IMO?

    What actually needs doing? i.e is it as simple putting the fixtures up mid-week and posting the results?

    If it is, I'd be willing to give it a go, albeit on a trail basis at first.

    Sorry to hear you are retiring mate hope it's nothing serious. I've got no problem doing the predictor as long as the name stays the same (Argus Predictions), keep posting when you can mate.
