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

By the inclusion of a Premiership match in this week's list, you can surmise that there is a connection this week

It's not an easy one either. Though I do think that there are a couple of you more suited to getting the answer right than others will be.

I think that I will award TWO bonus points for the first person to suggest the correct connection alongside their week's predictions


Portsmouth v Charlton
Torquay v Milton Keynes Dons
Colchester v Hartlepool
Hereford v York
Berwick Rangers v Stranraer


All predictions to be in by 12noon on Saturday, 9th April.

Having spent this afternoon on the campaign trail, I was in just the right frame of mind to spot the connection. All five games are taking place in Parliamentary constituencies (Portsmouth South, Torbay, Colchester, Hereford and Berwick-upon-Tweed) held by the Liberal Democrats!

I've continued the political theme (sort of) with my choice of scorer in the Berwick-Stranraer match...

Portsmouth 1-1 Charlton (Yakubu)
Torquay 0-0 Milton Keynes Dons
Colchester 2-1 Hartlepool (Danns)
Hereford 2-0 York (Stansfield)
Berwick Rangers 1-2 Stranraer (Michael Moore)

DD will be furious.

I think he's heard already. Just look at that face...

Mind you, apparently I live in a LibDem constituency. Won't stop me voting Tory, mind.

B

You're a Tory, B? Well, that explains why it was so hard to get you to honour your commitments when you lost our last bet.

And the connection in me

I have stayed at a friend’s house in Portsmouth less than a mile from the ground.

I used to live near Wimbledon less than a mile from Plough Lane

I Delivered leaflet in Hartlepool for Jody Dunn in the bye-election on the street the ground is on.

I was interviewed for a job in York in the shadows of the stadium

As a student I often caught a ferry from Stranrear guess how close to the ground the stadium is.

Ah, but what exactly do the Milton Keynes Dons have to do with Wimbledon?

Franchise united played there 2 grounds ago.

That's what I meant.

Speaking as a supporter of Franchise Thistle is Scotland I'm less judgemental.

Did workers at the Ferranti factory object at all when they moved to Meadowbank?

Actually they moved to City stadium first the biggest objection was teh lose of Ferranti from the team name Meadowbank Thistle was a compromise.

But on the flipside, the people at Caledonian lager are laughing.
