On iOS 10 with an iPhone7 the width of the site does not fit the entire screen, and also the post dates and share buttons (likely related to the first issue) drop down and overlap the main post area.

Thanks @OutByEaster? - Being a non-UK based fan a lot of it doesn't apply to me, but it all feels a little underwhelming

Gentlemen (and ladies),

There's another one of these meetings on the 6th June - VT will be sending a representative to listen, report back and most pertinently to ask the questions you'd like asked. 

I believe it'll be attended by Keith Wyness and there's usually a Head of Department or two there.

So, what do you want to know?

 

How this new streaming business is gonna work next season. International only? Is it through standard AVTV? How are the rights handled with other teams?

Thanks  

Final thread up...

Added bets for Rodders and andykeenan above, and imavillan below

For each prediction above i have placed a £1 bet on both the Results and also Both teams to score? Yes/No.

With every one of us going for a Leeds 2-0 win of Wigan, you can bet your bollocks to a barn dance that that result is going to be a 1-1 draw after 10 mins... wiping out every single bet!

Typical. Starts of sounding like a good idea, then with every bit of information it gets less and less appealing until it ends up sounding like a stupid half baked idea that should never have been mentioned. 

To be fair, you can't show games someone else has paid for. The only solution is to not allow anyone to buy the rights and only allow the online system. There is no way the EFL has the reach in the USA (or anywhere else for that matter) for that to be a viable model.

But of course!

So what did you vote for?

Nulion's copy protection technology was already bypassed for Prem League plus in 2024/2015, so I am sure iFollow and whatever Villa decide to go with will make its way to U.K. streamers

OK just for this 1 game.  The final game of the season.  Will it be a sell-out ?  What do you think ?

Do you track attendance in you wonderous excel sheet, Mr Stato?

Welcome to the Championship 2016/17 VT prediction league, you can join in at any time during the tournament but please make sure you follow the instructions carefully. However, if you are just thinking about just playing for a single week, or are going to lose interest after a couple of weeks, then do us all a time saving favour and don't bother playing.

-- Making a Prediction --

1. Head on over to https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JJHBdYRs_tzHsVDF1lpSoNIvr6E0nthT6nE47V_UQ44/edit#gid=2100599174
2. Make sure you are selecting the right sheet for the Gameweek (inactive sheets will be fully locked)
3. Find the first 'blank' entry with all scores set as '0-0' and 'ENTER YOUR NAME HERE' as the name
4. Green Cells are for you to enter stuff into, all other cells are not!
5. Fill in your predicted scores for each game
6. When entering your name, make sure it is EXACTLY the same as your VT name and that it doesn't have any erroneous spaces and is CaSe SeNsEtIvE
   Incorrectly entered names, even if it is just a space at the start or a capital letter, will result in tracking errors throughout the tournament
7. Once your prediction is complete, copy the cells within the dotted line and post them into this VT thread
   If you do not post the results correctly into this thread then your prediction will be ignored
8. Thread banter is encouraged!
9. Gameweek already started? No problem you can still play, just put the score for the games you have missed as N/A, e.g
   Fulham N/A - N/A Villa

-- When will prediction threads be posted up? --

• Generally I will try and post threads on Tuesday or Wednesday of each week, but this may slip at times. Just keep an eye on the forum and it'll be there before the games start.
• Gameweek matches will follow those as laid out on the BBC Championship fixtures page, let me know if I miss something due to a game being moved or postponed etc.

-- Previous Gameweek Results --

An incredible week from Daniel at the perfect time. Dem_C, Chewie, rubberman, and Czechlad all hit double points.

With that monster week the glory of being Predictor Champion 2016/2017 and the fame and fortune that comes with it is only Daniel's to lose now. rubberman looks pretty safe in 2nd place with TheAuthority, Chewie, and Dem_C the most likely of lads to finish 3rd. Never count last years predictor champion, andykeenan out of it though!

-- My (Chewie's) Prediction for this Gameweek --

When pasting your prediction table you might want to hit enter a couple of times before you post your prediction in. The editor makes life difficult to create a new line after you paste the table in if you haven't 'entered' a couple of times first.

-- Bets --

Get your predictions in early doors and i'll aim to bet on each one Friday or Saturday night, if any win you'll get 10% paid via Paypal only!

-- Good Luck --

Good luck to everyone for the week, and please don't be a bitch and mess with other people's predictions in the Google Sheet, there's a good girl

All games are Sunday 12noon. I'll post the final results and leader board up on Monday.

-- Previous Gameweek Results --

Czechlad leads the weekly table but it's a bit of a downer considering no one managed to hit double digits.

Nothing really changes in the overall table apart from andykeenan jumping up a place.

-- Bets --

In each Gameweek I will aim to select two predictions of my choosing, one for correct results and one for Both Teams to score (Yes/No). I shall then place a £1 accumulator on each of those bets, should they win I will give the predictor 20% of the winnings to be paid via Paypal. Likely to be no bets with gameweeks coming thick and fast.

While I'm not playing the game, I must come in to take my hat off to @Chewie and the Herculean effort in keeping this game running for the whole season.  Top work young man.  You're a bloody trooper is what you are!

Thanks buddy, it means a lot to see a message like this  

Hey guys,

I'm unable to get the new thread up tonight, but i'll get it live tomorrow lunch time ready for the game later that evening.

Cheers.

-- Previous Gameweek Results --

GW42

Only andykeenan hits double figures for gameweek 42, with a pretty poor showing from the rest of us.

GW43

Decent points from the handful of people that remembered Gameweek 43.

We have a new leader going into the final stretch. Daniel tops the table with rubberman dropping down to second after missing last week.

-- Previous Gameweek Results --

It's another storming week for our glorious host. Chewie with him being the only person on double points. Pitiful from the plebs below, not worth my time typing anything out about it

But alas, despite jumping up 3 places from 7th to 4th it's all a little "Villa" with it more than likely being too little, too late. rubberman and Daniel sit safely at the top, chappy drops down to 7th. Nothing else much seems to have happened.
