Missed this, but made a donation.
I'd take Wigan, match to be played at a neutral ground?
Good work!

could those who 'missed' this have a pop at guessing who we'll play in the Pizza cup draw which is on Thursday?

I couldn't see how to shoehorn the Pizza Cup into the competition. I could have extended some League games to be in combination with something like the first Pizza Cup game at home / first Pizza Cup game away, but that would be unfair to the 46 competing. I'll give it some thought next year, as the draw could probably be extended to 60 or so. Of course, next season, we'll be in the Championship with 42 games.

A huge crowd joined me for the draw live on Zoom. I did like the fact that @lancashire lad got Wigan away. 

Good luck to everyone, and thanks very much to everyone who supported this great cause.

Stevenage at home, that's a game to get the pulse racing...

BR7_addick

Lincoln (a)
Nailed on I win last game of the season, that’s got mid table end of season written all over it.

addickson

I'm guessing a lot of folk want @SaySomething to get the booby prize?!

sam3110

Peterborough Home, would be a stern test at the start of the season, especially as both of us haven't started recruiting yet compared to a lot of the teams expected to be in and around the top 6

BR7_addick

Calling it now, it’ll be Northampton or Stevenage at home.

You’re right. It’s Stevenage at home (possibly).

How about extending it to other dates eg Boxing Day fixture, last game of the season? If there is sufficient demand

Reading at home the crossrail derby for me.

Everyone seems to know it’s either Stevenage at home or Stevenage away. What an anticlimax?

That's what my son has told me and he knew about the Orient friendly in Marbella before it was announced, so I'm hopeful for you.

Well done for organising this fundraiser - been a bit of fun too and a welcome distraction from take over stuff!
