As you’ve possibly noticed this week, we’ve been running a competition this week to win a lovely cashmere scarf in Latics colours courtesy of the chaps at Savile Rogue. All people had to do was send us an email containing the name of the Latics mascot pictured below and they’d go in the draw for […]

I know that half of you have set reminders in your calendar and will have been tapping your watches watching for this, the other half of you will be just getting in from shopping/the game/pretending you were at a game but being in the pub or are on your way back from Southend.  Either way, […]

You may recall that we started a competition a few weeks back to win a lovely Savile Rogue scarf in Latics colours through our prediction league.  We’ve got three things to announce. Firstly, congratulations to Martin Jolley who rose from a mass of mediocre predictions to finish top of the mini-league we ran to decide who […]

The weather hasn’t got any warmer, but with 3 more people joining in this week, things are certainly heating up in the TNS prediction league*.

All the leaves are bown, the sky is grey everything is soaking wet through and, if we’re a bit honest, even with our big coats on, it’s a little colder than we’d like it to be.   Because we love you so much, we’ve decided to do something about it by getting in touch with […]

Patent Predictions has been running for […]

This weekend sees the return of our almost regular prediction competition. The rules are simple.  Each week, I’ll put three fixtures up on the This Northern Soul message board.  People try to guess what the scores will be and then get points based on how right they are.  At the end of the season, we […]

We promised that there would be two world cup based competitions today and unusually we’re being good to our word.  The guys from Art of Football have got back in touch to offer their commiserations on the FA Cup loss and to offer you a chance to win one of their World Cup themed shirts.

Sign up for the first of two great world-cup related opportunities we’ll be offering today. If you’re a regular on our forums then you’ll have spotted the prediction league that we (dis)organised over the second half of the season.  Well it’s back for the world cup and, yet again, there could be more than bragging […]

A few months ago, with our usual levels of organisation, pre-planning and attention span, I started a prediction league on the TNS forum.  I was so good at organising it that I didn’t even notice that it had finished, but finished it has and so I thought it best to tell you about what happened.
