Hi Y'all.
I'm agreeing with the old Gringo here, I love playing this game just for the fun of it but thought that the 1st, 2nd and 3rd added a bit extra oomph to the comp. Lot to be said for going to 4th or 5th as well if we have a load more punters joining like Clacher says, but I'd happily stick with the first three format. Even if I drop out of the running for a place early on I still like to have a go.
Good idea about a standing team. I don't get on as much as before because of more stringent site blocking rules at work so sometimes find it difficult to get on and I missed some Naps and NPL stuff last season.
Don't see any harm in sticking with Div 1 even though we're in it again. When we first started I think I remember Bob saying it helped not having Caley Jags there so yer bet wasn't influenced by yer heart - nae bother, heart comes into supporting yer team not betting against them if it's the best bet of the day - and it helps soften the blow if you get thrashed but pocket a winner
I can see the point in sticking to just the SFL games but I like taking a dip into the early round cup games when there's no league matches scheduled. Perhaps we could go for this before the big boys from the SPL join in? It also helps to stick an extra dimension into the mix of the competition. But I'd rather give the internationals a miss.
