Morning all.
Most of us struggle to be enthused about football in early August, even so it's good to have it back, & within a few weeks, it will be in full swing. The Premier League kicks off this Friday too, and that's a great Product.
So this week we will mainly mix football & horse-racing, unless some other event comes along that fits our bill. (Competitive betting market, takes place in the evening).
With SPT Brighton this weekend, Friday, Saturday & Sunday may be thrown together quickly, without all the added waffle I usually include, but it'll be fit for purpose, a sort of no-frills "Sunday Service".

Tonight's fayre will be the Championship affair between Huddersfield Town & the Lampard-less Derby County.
It's televised on Sky Sports, and kick off is at 7.45pm.
Yesterday, due to having to cancel Saturday's round, we did TWO betting events, & it seemed to work quite well, so we'll try the same thing again today. It's a little extra admin, but if it works, & possibly attracts new players, it's worth trying. Please feel free to say if you do or don't like it, or if you have any other ideas to keep these Comps fresh.
OK, off we go.

Here's the new Manager of Derby County, Philip Cocu.
I'm guessing when things go wrong, the oppo fans will be calling him Cocu the Clown, so don't tell them that his name is pronounced "Koky", as it might get worse & they call him Hoky.
Here's the somewhat futuristic looking Stadium in which Huddersfield Town play. Hard to believe it was built 25 years ago, I was still at school then.
Kick off is 7.45, so we'll do the cut-off thing at 7.35.
This is all you need to do;
Derby & 4 goals.
Huddersfield 3 goals.
2 goals
