Welcome to Football Predictions.org

This is the new online predictions, based on the longstanding paper versions that Steve Robs has been running since 1992. Times change and we must change with them, so please be patient and loyal and we can hopefully  emulate the game online and slowly add different features as we go.  For the up and coming World Cup and 2010 / 2011 football league season, you can hopefully choose to do it through the traditional method (hard copy) or through the website and then print off a copy for yourself. Both cost £5 and all the money put into the same pot.  Money recieved  will pay for any web based expenses, provide prize money (usually £100 for 1st, £50 for 2nd and £25 for 3rd) and also a decent lump sum to a local junior football club (usually about £100+). Twenty people have chosen to fill it in and pay on-line over the last 3 competitions with no problems. The payment is secure, using "PayPal" which is the same as Ebay. Hopefully this will increase this year.

This on-line method will not be perfect straight away but neither was the paper version when it originally came out, but as we go along I will listen to suggestions and ideas and taylor the site to how the users think it will work best. Hopefully we can make this work so you can have fun and the kids can get money for their football club.

Regards

Robs
