Samaritans Score Prediction 23/4 -
Assuming there is support, I will again run the charity fundraising score prediction contest for another season.
There is a cost of living crisis out there and I understand finances are challenging for many at the moment so slight change in the rules.
IF MAKING A DONATION IS DIFFICULT FOR YOU
That's fine. I don't need to know. Just predict as normal and don't make a donation. No questions asked
IF YOU CAN AFFORD IT
I request a donation of at least £10 be made at the following link https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/gasroomfundraising
If you can afford a little more, that would also be much appreciated as charities costs have also spiralled.
I have again chosen my local branch of the Samaritans as beneficiary as I know the difference our donations make to them. Just a reminder that calls are distributed nationally to the first available branch so it may well be that they are currently offering confidential non-judgemental support to a High Wycombe person in trouble and in desperate need of someone to talk to. Your donation pays directly for that branch's lighting, phone bills, heating, council tax, boiler repair etc. etc. and hence allows them to be there if you or your mate needs to make a call tomorrow.
Rules are unchanged as I cant be arsed to redo the spreadsheet. Summary is here but again just predict the score and I'll do the rest. https://gasroom.org/discussion/6110/annual-charity-prediction-competitions#latest)
First up is Exeter (h). Predictions here please.

Spirited fight back after early season jitters lead to first half Exeter goal.
Donation made, first match prediction Wycombe 2 Exeter 0.
@DevC , I read the rules and points scoring system, which appears to be as complicated as the explanation in this clip: (2) Giving Instructions in the Classroom - YouTube
I'm gonna donate on behalf of someone else, ie: donate but not take part.
The rules have been carefully designed such that they impenetrable to third parties and hence I can manipulate during the season to ensure I win....
Exeter just won a preseason game 8-0, and we’ve just lost one 7-0, so by that reckoning…
Wycombe 2 - 0 Exeter
🤣
Thanks @DevC I'm all paid up.
Just had a quick refresh of the rules, incredibly complex...well done!
Paid up but too bone idle/thick to read the rules. Happy to risk expulsion!
Wycombe 2 Exeter 1.
I never read the rules. I am a maverick. Hopefully there is nothing in there that will lead to legal action.
Don't worry, Bargy will defend you!
Thank you for the donation @drcongo . Much appreciated.
you be very welcome to take part in the comp but obviously that is your choice.
Thanks @DevC, donated.
I’m told it’s Prince George’s birthday today. I wonder if anyone will give him the bumps…..
Anyone else a little surprised to note that the first league game is only nine days away. Seems to be sneaking up almost unnoticed.
Wycombe 2 Exeter 1
Wycombe 1 Exeter 0
Wycombe 1-0 Exeter please. I have not donated as yet, but will when I get paid tomorrow
Thanks @DevC - donation made
I will go with Wycombe 2-0 Exeter

I’ll go 1-1

I am certainly enthused after the weekend. I'll stick to my 2-1, but not so sure Exeter will score if the defence plays as well as it did on Saturday.
(Setting myself up for a fall as trev's 'this is shite!' post clangs into the Gasroom 25 mins after kick-off...)
Not sure he will wait that long!
Thanks for organising Dev. Paid up and ready to go.
