TB Cup 2024

Every week there will be a series of fixtures (or questions) for you to predict the results of. This will be a perfect chance for you to show how much you know about football (or how little) and prove that you are the smartest Ipswich fan. The 2024/25 season will feature the Main Competition including a repeat of last years Promotion/Relegation format and the popular addition of the 'Head to Head' Competition. We will also play for the coveted TB Cup which will commence in January 2025, which is based around the real FA Cup fixture dates!

With only Charnwood (clinging on by the skin of his teeth) and current holder Lucy being the only previous winners still left in the competition the odds look high that a new name will be engraved on the 🏆 this year.

You have to be kidding me, I have choked in every final I have been in.

Didn't I score 1 point one year in either the H2H or FA Cup final?

Yeah but you’re a likeable fella. I wonder how odds have been manipulated over time to suit the more popular challengers? I won’t mention horse racing, btw! :lol:

Odds are simply a replica of the FA Cup winners odds matched to order of ranking in the Individual Prediction League table. Simple as that 🤣

Exactly Johnny there’s no science to it or manipulation as as has been suggested. It’s simply a mirror of the FA Cup which is how the draw is done and any odds quoted. It’s done this way to try to avoid the sort of comments made by Number 9 and is totally transparent.
