Thanks for doing this. I see I had Bury second from bottom, I think my reasoning was that they were a basket case financially and would get called out at some point.

Many thanks, Jason.

Will it be compulsory to have Argiggle 24th next season?
I think for those who believe in precedent we should all pick them to finish up top, with one brave soul picking them to finish 11th.

They were such a difficult one (I think I had them struggling too) - like Oldham too, I was convinced one of them would "do a Chesterfield".

Many thanks for sorting this, I'm glad I didn't end up with the wooden spoon this year but have decided not to hand it back as its covered in burnt-on beans

FFS, wooden spoons don't grow on trees, you know.

42= scottus86 190
42= Stuffy 190
44 Billy The Fish 196

...

45 contrabombarde 216

Had our average predictions been an entry, we'd have scored 158 so would have slotted into 19th place.

In the end we called Colchester spot on, the only club that finished exactly level with the median prediction. On the other hand, four clubs either did much better or worse than predicted - Bury (median 15th, actual 2nd), Forest Green (median 20th, actual 5th), Newport (median 19th, actual 7th) and of course Notts County (median 2nd, actual 23rd). They were the highest predicted finisher amongst us lot, and even the most pessimistic poster had them 11th.

Thanks to everyone who took part, and see you again next season.
Bah - so close!!

Now safely converted to HF68
Thanks Jason for Organising - to be honest I find the hardest part making sure I don't repeat a team in the line up consequently leaving someone out altogether - that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it
