Over the past week or so, Warky1970 has been collecting predictions from the message board regulars and has emailed us with the results.
The idea is to come up with a scoring system and at the end of the season, see who has best predicted Town's fortunes for 2006/07.
Highest Predicted Finish: 1st (Dale1978 and AuntieBlue)
Lowest Predicted Finish: 21st (Yorkshire)
Therefore out of 112 board members no one predicts relegation.
Average Predicted Finish: 10th
Average Predicted League Cup Exit: 3rd Round
Average predicted FA Cup Exit: 4th Round
Furthest predicted League Cup Run: 7th Round/Final! (yorkshire)
Furthest predicted FA Cup Run: Winners !!!!!!

(I think this has to be judged on a new player who has not really featured for the first team and becomes a regular on the bench or in starting 11. Some have nominated Casement or Haynes who in my opinion have already broken
through.)
