Big, Big Prediction Game, 2020/21

Just giving a quick nudge for this, now that the deadline for entries is but a week away.

Many thanks to those who have already sent in their predictions via PM.

I think that Macc probably will count as one, given that the club has yet to, but inevitably will, be formally expelled from the League.

In the unlikely event of a reprieve, of course, Macc can, if predictors so judge, constitute one of their for candidates for the drop. 

If any other entrants need to adjust their predictions, or, like H, wish to nominate a club to discard from the relegation places, please drop me a PM.

Tie-break question:

Time for an update on this, now that all of the leagues and most of the knockout competitions in play have been concluded for the season...

The one tournament to have been paused (at its Quarter-final stage) is the Women's FA Cup. It will get completed, albeit not until the rescheduled Final-date of 5th December. The Welsh FA Cup, meanwhile, was officially abandoned back in March - and before that, of course, National Leagues North and South were declared null and void, meaning that there is no relegation from the top-tier NL.

So far as our competition is concerned, then, there are cancelled questions here and there - and it will be late 2021 before the very final results are set in stone. But, that said, we do have enough to go on in the meantime by way of our own meaningful league table.

So, watch this space!

So, in the event, 41 points to play for in total, rather than the original full 50. And this is how our standings currently look, with numbers/teams in brackets referring to potential score additions later this year from the Women's FAC:
