So well done to Russgas, and I'm pretty sure Hugo Admin said something about a special prize that he's got safely stored in a cup with a bit of cardboard over the top of it...

Apologies for the unexpected 'downtime' towards the end of the tournament, but I actually found myself in Germany for the end of the tournament (sadly with limited wifi access!) But never mind...betcha wondering who finished where in the prediction game And so here is the final table...along with some weird stats and comments too! The tiebreakers were i) correct scores and then ii) who entered the first round first....I will figure out better tie-breakers before the main season game I promise! 1st Russgas 66 (a worthy champion with 11 correct scores, leading or tied at the end of every round) 2nd RD 59 (chased russgas hard with 9 correct scores, fell away after the second round...) 3rd Big Dave 49 (after a slow start flirting with relegation I came good later in the tournament) 4th Finnish Gas 45 (fought hard and was consistent throughout) 5th equal @mcchisel 43 (6 correct scores) (the start of a massive tie for fifth place!)
5th equal Gasper 43 (6 correct scores) 5th equal Rovers 12th Man 43 (6 correct scores) 5th equal gregsy 43 (5 correct scores) 9th Hugo Admin 42 10th BishopstonBRFC 39 11th lincsblue 37 12th equal inee 36 (5 correct scores) 12th equal seanclevedongas 36 (3 correct scores) Mark Lawrenson from the BBC (if playing by our rules) 36 14th Gas Go Marching In 32 15th Jon the Stripe 26 16th @hugotheelder 24
17th glostergas 21 18th Quartermaster 19 19th I Voted For Kodos 9 20th templegas78 4

I meant to put 8-0 but typed a 3 by mistake. You're still the closest I think doesn't get you extra points sadly...

A few comments on Facebook that people had heard there was some 'Bad News' coming today, so I thought I would pop to the forum & find out what it was. So here's hoping it's just rubbish rumour mongering, but what was this 'Bad news' due today people were concerned about? thanks, There was a photo earlier of a green pitch...I assume (like others) it was photoshopped or painted...

I think you're just a melody, talent, good looks and a couple of verses away from a number one song... Fixed that for you. At least someone knew what I was on about in terms of a song and also knew how much I hate pop music....

Noone will be banned henbury. The way I see it, if you want to troll a forum then you cant really be surprised if someone bites back at some point. Oldie obviously doesn't like it here and likes to make comments which are inflammatory towards other users and this forum in general. Why he does this is anyone's guess, my advice is to stay away if you don't like it. And mods, please, DNFTT. That is all. The funny thing Ras he always has a pop at me on the forum and its one of the reasons i don't post any important info on there anymore This one is far more civilized and respectful of other peoples opinions Whilst this advice might sound condescending, it's something I learnt a long time ago on forums much less 'cultured' than this... ...win or ignore... ...if you're questioned, prove you're right either with experience or evidence... ...if you can't prove it, ignore it...

I recon we may have delayed it too to make sure we could still afford it. Having looked at it, I recon we can't afford NOT to do it. I am keeping everything crossed, but this looks like good news. Hope I'm not wrong .... After reading that it reminded me that delaying it under contractual obligations isn't as bad as I first thought it was...

Ive asked my planning mate to speak to his colleagues over at SC to see whats there stance on the whole thing is, i will post more when i know more ! Ok here we go...... He spoke to the planning officer who is "overseeing" the Whole complex not just the UWE Bristol Stadium element and he said the following :- the paperwork that has been posted on the website should have been into SC weeks ago but has only just been made available within the last few days....." Not sure if that is good news or not ! Based on that I will make a personal assumption. BRFC delayed the paperwork based on the ongoing fear of relegation, using minor technical delays (ie the English Heritage thing) to ensure they didn't break contractual agreements with other parties... Discuss...

So everything is go as far as the planning department know? Or a series of documents have just been published? Ive asked my planning mate to speak to his colleagues over at SC to see whats there stance on the whole thing is, i will post more when i know more ! That's the key...incidentally, sure Ras and the others will let you post as 'El Henbury' if you need some level of anonymity

Every document I've read so far is dated from (August) 2013, so is this from someone who is just behind on their filing or is it progress? Na just had a word with my planning friend and he said that's normal, its the date they were issued not the date SC received them. they are put on the web site a few days after acceptance for public view/review So everything is go as far as the planning department know? Or a series of documents have just been published?
