The Prediction League Is Back - Get Involved!

It's that time again! The first match of the season kicks off on Saturday and we'd like you to register your predictions in our 2011/12 Prediction League.

The Prediction League is one of the more popular features on our site and last season was won by long-term site member RSCOSWORTH, with then reigning champion Barsidepete coming second place.

To get involved, go to our Prediction League page and enter your predictions for the next match. You can make any number of predictions for a single match, but only the last one will count. So, feel free to change your prediction as many times as you wish. You will of course need to be a site member to take part - if you're not already, then you can register here for free.

Points are awarded for correct outcomes, correct scores and correctly predicting the U's first goalscorer - there are also bonus points available if you guess all those factors correctly.

Good luck!

Note that the Prediction League is an automated league which only covers Colchester United league games. The editor's decision will be final regarding any question over the eventual winner.
