Seriously, can I have 28th April please in celebration of Millwall's last relegation. Sorry James, I know you have a soft spot for them, for very good reasons.

Good memories, but I want them relegated, and us promoted asap.
Think I haven’t thought this through, first of April I thought there’s a joke there, didn’t realise it was firstly a Sunday and secondly Easter, the joke not on Roland but me. Was the going going to have a second try of my 40th wedding anniversary but my favourite sandwich has nicked that. So can I have the next day as my second guess the 25th June. Thanks.
New arbitrary rule: you can have a second guess if either:
1. The date selected is your birthday, and the date is free, or 2. The date selected is two calendar months after your first selection and the date is free.
Just double checking... is this wager for the date of announcement of sale is made or the day it officially closes after the League checks the new owner's suitability and it announced as completed?

Legal completion date of sale, not the date of announcement. No insider trading!
Karl Robinson has dealt another blow to Charlton supporters after revealing that he’s been told the takeover of the club could be further delayed.
Unpopular Belgian owner Roland Duchatelet put on record that he was trying to offload the South Londoners when it was announced that CEO Katrien Meire was leaving the club at the end of December.
But it would appear that despite agreeing a sale price with two possible suitors, Duchatelet’s departure could still be a long way off.
“I’ve been told today it’s completely up in the air,” explained the Charlton boss.
“It could be next season. It could be the summer. It could be two weeks. It could be a month. Whoever is buying the club – come on. For the benefit of these people who support he club, the players, this is something that neds to be sorted out.
“Two weeks, two weeks, two weeks. I’ve heard today it could be a lot longer than what it is. We’ve just got to get on with it. I don’t know what that is, where they’re at. I was told this week, and then that week, and then that week.
“There’s still no real date. I wish my holiday was the same length as the ‘two weeks’ they’ve took.
“Our CEO was gone at the end of December. Our financial director has gone now. We were told the club would be done in two weeks. That was seven or eight weeks ago in the beginning of January. We thought we’d have somebody in in mid-January to try and push us forward and give us some funds. I’m stood here in mid-March and being told it’s nowhere near.
“In the owner’s defence, he’s trying to sell the club. But it’s no good in relation to us not knowing what corner to turn next. I feel for the people that come and watch us. When you’ve got family and kids and not knowing what’s happening in the summer – it can put you in a predicament.”
Robinson was speaking after his side’s lacklustre 1-0 defeat at Blackpool on Tuesday night, and said that the mentality surrounding the club desperately needs to change.
“There’s a number of things that go on behind the scenes here that need to change before we can lift spirits properly,” he added.
“There’s been too many things hanging over the club for too long a time. So when something very small goes against you it sparks a negative mentality. You’ve got players in there whose contracts are up in the summer not knowing what’s going on, who’s going to be in charge. These are answers that I can’t give to players or their agents with six weeks to go in the season.
“This is a reality check. If I’ve got to get in trouble for saying it I don’t really care. It’s the truth.
“I’d love to build something properly but how can you build something when you don’t know what corner you’re turning. We’ve created quite a good mentality around the place but we need something to take us onto the next level now. Everybody is just waiting. How long can you keep waiting? People’s careers are going down the pan. It’s as simple as that.”
New arbitrary rule: you can have a second guess if either:
1. The date selected is your birthday, and the date is free, or 2. The date selected is two calendar months after your first selection and the date is free.
It is my Birthday on the 6th August (cash, wine, or just a card welcome), but to be honest, if we have not been taken over by then I will be past caring.
Comments
Just to be sure I first asked for 14th April (my bday) and you put me down for may. You then apologised but it didn’t change.
Can I now have the whole of March by way of an apology?!
