h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Welcome to this, the penultimate week of Season Twelve of the Official h2g2 Fantasy Football League, the original and still the best

This week we're going to have something of a trip around where the home team is in a town or city that has some link or special meaning in my life.


Watford v Stoke
Brighton v Rotherham
Stevenage v Rochdale
Blackpool v Port Vale
Exeter v Doncaster


The closing date for all predictions is 12noon on Saturday 4th December.

And as an aside, there are 3 bonus points up for grabs if anyone can say what all FIVE of the special associations are. Three of them should be relatively easy, but the other two are very very hard.

Watford 1 2 Stoke (Akinbiyi)
Brighton 1 0 Rotherham (Knight)
Stevenage 1 2 Rochdale (Holt)
Blackpool 1 1 Port Vale (Paynter)
Exeter 1 3 Doncaster (Fortune-West)

Special associations - yes, three are relatively easy:

Watford - "I was born in a Watford suburb"
Brighton - "To be more specific I live in Brighton"
Exeter - "slip out under the wire and escape to West Somerset"

The others are just too difficult - favourite holiday in Blackpool? Grandmother in Stevenage?

Lost his virginity in Blackpool...

...To a chap called Steven?

B

Well that's two and a half right

Yes - Exeter is in Devon.

I'm going for: girlfriend is from Exeter, favourite singer is Steven Morrissey and first record bought was Mike Harding's 'The Rochdale Cowboy'.

Rochdale is an AWAY team

CM is going for all away-wins this week.

Watford 0-4 Stoke (Greenacre)
Brighton 0-1 Rotherham (Mullin)
Stevenage 0-1 Rochdale (Bertos)
Blackpool 1-2 Port Vale (Cummins)
Exeter 0-2 Doncaster (Blundell)

B

Would you like to send me that £5 now, B?

I don't know Ormy, the last three look pretty reasonable. The Exeter /Doncaster one I'd say has a goodish chance of being a full house!

Two local teams, and two teams whose results I always look out for... Hmmm. This may take a bit of thought.

True, GD, but B still has two weeks in which to make up a 37 point deficit.

Might as well get the cheque off now and beat the Christmas post, I'd say...

I see Ormy hasn't been brave enough to post his predictinos yet!!!!

Ah well I spent all my lunch time trying to find GD's connections to no sucess. Yet!!!

Watford 2 Stoke City 1 HELGUSON
Brighton and Hove Albion 1 Rotherham 0 VIRGO
Stevenage Borough 1 Rochdale Town 0 HOLT
Blackpool 0 Port Vale 2 PAYNTER
Exeter City 0 Doncaster Rovers 4 McINDOE

I meant Stevenage 1 Rochdale 2 I typed the same prediction twice bummer. After all I have a Rochdale scorer

I'm not so sure. Rochdale have a player called Holt, but I don't know anything about this team called 'Rochdale Town'.

So are you actually applying to change your prediction, DD? The destination of the mat could hinge on this, so we'd better be clear!

I will ajudicate later on this matter

I still want to know what a predictino is. Is it a little Spanish prediction?

B

I'm not chaging my prediction I can send GD the postit I wrote my predictions down on. I'm saying I mistyped the line when I cut and pasted the teams into my post. I was busy at work at the time as well so was being distracted by an irate customer so didn't realise it until I pressed post message.

However, I will abide my any adjudication and cheer on Stevenage Bourough if required.
