Count me in whatever system your going with,and yes to live Sunday games,as long as appropriate notice is given beforehand.

Spot has identified a little problem.

How do we get the new season up and running with enough players?

The enforced interruption to the Premier League means that folk won't be logging on here as often as they would and, we don't want to exclude anyone. May takes a week or two to get the message out there.

If you've not expressed your preferences for how we run the new season, please do do.

Me and Spot are ready to go whenever there are enough players.

Either one big league or, two smaller ones?

Goobs · Post by **Goobs** » Thu May 14, 2020 12:18 pm

Any way is fine by me.

The new format might suit you better, especially if Spot "handicaps" one or two

I'm happy to join in whichever format you choose. Thanks

If there is an odd number happy to take a bye to the next round if it helps

Redbeard · Post by **Redbeard** » Fri May 15, 2020 11:29 am

But are we having teams or individual participation, Ralphie?

And will it be one league or two?

And where's Brucefan when you need her?

I don't see "Rounds" until the end of season Knock-Out. We'll accommodate all comers - even "ODD" ones

Yet to be decided. People seem reluctant to express an opinion.

At present, and it may change, we see a League system (Probably one giant one) with teams playing each other on a weekly basis. This week you may be up against Goobs, next week against Buxton. 3 points per win, 1 point for a draw, for and against goals tally show the actual score for each image. This way, no one should streak ahead of the pack but, the cream should rise to the top

We like the idea of just 3 images per week. That should mean that we have enough images to last until real football comes back to us

Bottom line... we are open to suggestions

Redbeard · Post by **Redbeard** » Fri May 15, 2020 12:06 pm

That all seems good to me, Ralphie.

Don't take too much on, mate.

leedsdave · Post by **leedsdave** » Fri May 15, 2020 6:39 pm

I'll join too. I'm after finishing above that Redbeard fella and the one with the emerald plumage. Oh and Option 3 for me too. I'm happy either with or without a live Sunday game.

The three images does sound good and, with a shrinking bank of photos, keeps us in the game longer. One League is probably the way forward too.

Firthy · Post by **Firthy** » Sat May 16, 2020 10:22 am

So league option seems favourite. Ralph have you decided if it's going to be team or individual .

Still waiting on "the will of the people" but, as Spot has the casting vote, I'm guessing it'll be individual

RalphCoatesComb · Post by **RalphCoatesComb** » Sat May 16, 2020 3:30 pm

Spot has identified another slight problem. He's good at finding sh!t !

If we have ONE giant League, and everyone plays against each other, we'll be here until Doomsday.

Back to TWO Leagues me thinks

Unless you have teams of 2 or 3 then you'll only hvave half or a third many games and still one big league.

Happy with any format. Like single player but would be interested in team for something different

Don't mention "the will of the people"you'll trigger the usual suspects

Do you have definite numbers that are 100% in,might give folks a better idea of what format could work best.

If i'm not already on the list then sign me up please Ralph.
