    You can tell the difference by the split of home draws and aways.

    2019/20. Homes 42% Draws 31% Aways 27%.

    2020/21. Homes 37% Draws 27% Aways 36%. (Excellent spread!!)

    2021/22 to date. Homes 49% Draws 27% Aways 24%. (Heavily skewered towards home wins.)

    The change was requested because at least one individual, possibly two, thought the old system gave Griff an advantage.

    I try to do the same say Carlisle vs Oldham for a scrap or Man City vs Burnley for the odd upset…

    Have thrown out a suggestion on ours as there are 12 Saturdays and advance notice we are having a double header Easter weekend for the Fri & Mon have to be in before 3pm Friday for both…

    There are 23 in our league & I am messaging at random to select games the week after this one in advance of being published the weekend if that makes sense….

    🐶 needs a rest….

    Ps. Griff, don’t bother refreshing your e mails 🤣
