A new season brings with it a brand new Prediction League, and it starts with this weekend's game with Portsmouth.

If you've never played before, it couldn't be easier. To register, all you need is a messageboard username and you're already there. We want you to predict what you think the final score will be, and who (if any) will be the opening scorer for Dale.

If you predict the result of a match accurately (eg. 3-1) you get 3 points plus a bonus of the number of goals in that game (eg. 3+1 = bonus of 4). Otherwise, if you just correctly predict the outcome correctly (ie. home win, draw or away win) you get one point. Finally, if you guess the correct first scorer for your team then you get 2 points.

If you're the forgetful type, we can send you a reminder the day before a match so you don't lose ground on your mates and work colleagues.

You don't need to register a new account to join the Prediction League if you already use our forums or other interactive features. One profile gives you access to everything. If you want to enter more than one team in the Prediction League however, you can register multiple profiles.
