    Following on from Wiz's successful and popular - Guess the Score and Gate, I'd like to run a similar competition this season open to Bristol City and Bristol Rovers posters plus any other individual who cares to enter.

    the rules are similar to wiz's format and the format I used for the Euro 2012 matches.
    ***1 point for guessing the result - eg Bristol City win / Nottm Forest win / draw.
    ***5 points for guessing the exact score eg 2-1 ,3-3, 0-1

    for guessing the gate-home matches only.
    ***5 points for closest, 4 points for 2nd closest, 3 points for 3rd closest, 2 points for 4th closest and 1 point for 5th closest.
    ***10 extra points to everyone who predicts within 50 of the total attendance.

    All predictions and edits must be in prior to kick-off.

    I'll add a guess the scorer at the end of August, when our squad is fully known.

    I'd also like to add to embrace in true Olympic spirit both Bristol football clubs- a Bristol City and Bristol Rovers guess the score and gate- if no objections at the end of the month.

    First two matches....

    Tuesday August 14th- Bristol City v Gillingham FLCup Home / Guess the Gate / score after 120 mins if extra time is needed.
    it would be good if for a change we managed to get a win in the league cup-somehow we never seem motivated against lower league opposition.
    it would also be nice on a personal note because my great uncle, Alan Hardacre, secretary of the Footbal League, was the instigator of the first ever League Cup in 1962.



    Saturday August 18th- Nottingham Forest v Bristol City
    Bristol City achieved their first ever win at Forest for 50 years in April. A result which tilted the pendulum of safety in our favour. Can we repeat it against a side with big aspirations, but like ourselves very much in transition.

    Good luck

    Cheers wiz, hope you have had a great summer so far-at least you had a week of hot weather, on this rain-soaked isle we managed 1 day- certainly wasn't alleviated by Mark Cavendish failure to get a medal- would have been the first gold medal for a Manxman in the Olympic games since 1912- pinning our hopes on Peter Kennaugh now in the GB cycling pursuit on Friday.

    Is the format OK- and have you any suggestions how I can fine-tune it. The Guess the score / guess the gate was your conception.



    Edit......Hi manx,the way you did the euro's was brilliant,you carry on mate it's all yours and I'm in it to win it......wiz..

    Bristol City 3-0 Gillingham (10,056)

    Nottingham Forest 2-2 Bristol City

    Have a feeling we will mirror our start from a couple of seasons ago when we went to Preston on the opening day and got a credible 2-2 draw.
