Seeing as I can't take part in the weekends skip bridge barbel bonanza I am going to predict the winning weight.
My guess is a magnificent 8lb 4oz but would love to see a double. So what do you think,can you beat my prediction.
Best of luck to all taking part and watch out for the strange men in grey shorts !

My experience of barbel 'matches' on smaller yorkshire rivers rather than the trent is that very few fish are caught - so if anyone catches I would say a young fish about 4lb.

I think there will be 7 fish caught and Harry will get one to win it at 7lb  Unless there's a late entrance by Andy Mortia . . . Oh and also unless Deanos specially purchased Skip Bridge bait works . . . Which I doubt it will  |

How many will Harry get? How many will Rushy get? It all reminded me to have a look at the football odds for Saturday.
Brokelads, William Hell, Conall, Paddy Poorer and Lose365 all seem to agree that there will most likely be 5 - 6 goals netted in the match and I'm saying that's a reasonable 'spread' for best barbel netted at the end of the day too.
Harry 'Split' Cane and Weigh-in Rooney are each about 5/1 with most of the firms for a hat-trick in and around the box, and I also think that's reasonable for anyone to net a hat-trick of barbel on the day in and around the Nidd, like I say, the lads are gonna put it in the mixer, give 110% and that's all you can do innit?
No goals is a far-fetched 40/1 with Brokelads, and after listening to Geoff's doom-laden punditry there, I'd definitely bite your hand off if you gave me that price for no barbel on the day (well I would if I was a Skip Bridge pike with a gambling problem, anyway).
11-0 to England is available at 55/1 with MakeVictorRicher.com and I'd say the odds of an 11-0 barbel on the day are about the same but in the end we're all doing our best to win the match, I was vewy impwessed by the wesolve the team showed, and that's all you can ask isn't it? [well no, not really, since you ask Woy, a bit of tactics might help].
Slybet.com are offering all their usual "big match specials" including Rushy Rooney to be dismissed from the railway field at a generous 15/1 for the hot-headed skipper, I mean he's a top, top pro competing against against part-timers so you just never know at the end of the day, it's one cast a time and take it as it comes in this game, know what I'm saying?
An interesting long-shot is Madchester's very own left back to get the first barbel or goal of the match at 33/1 ... looks good until you realise the expensive injury-prone defender has never netted at any level of the sport.
Fill yer boots punters, you know it makes no sense.

Hi Nige I`m just going for the fishing don't know about the others but if I catch a Chub or Barbel or even both its a bonus and I`d be happy with or without a cup JB PS don't tell anybody but I think I`ll fish every peg after Rushy`s been in if he blanks lol  |

Do you intend going to extra time if it's a draw or is it a re-play? Sudden death play off! First barbel wins!! Eddie. |

GET IN IAN! :-))))) Time spent in the kitchen concocting baits that the fish shall find IMPOSSIBLE TO REFUSE is time well spent! :-)
Rushy may well throw his "slings and arrows"....he just knows that the "BAIT BOFFINS" shall prove how their scientific approach
shall pale even that "foreign muck" Garlic Spam into a has been bait! :-)))
My kitchen stinks like a tarts bedroom....there is bait to be made, reputations shall be built and destroyed on Saturday, I have work to do!
TO THE LABORATORY! :-)))
