2008/2009 Predictions - Johnny Chapman

Johnny Chapman, Boston fan

Who is going to walk away with the 2008/2009 NPL title?
I don't know much about the other teams so I'll say Bradford Park Avenue as they seem to be throwing lots of money around.

What are your realistic expectations for Boston?
We'll be in the playoffs.

Which away trip are you most looking forward to?
Kendal as I haven't been to the town for years.

Which team do you most want to see Boston absolutely tear apart 12-0?
Bradford Park Avenue. I see it as a mercy killing. Otherwise they'll only get promoted, build up loads of debts yet still end up resolutely mid table in some league or other so that eventually Bob Bradford loses interest and bails. The club then goes into administration and endure random relegations down to the Northern Counties. We stuff them now, OK they'll still owe folk, but just not as much.

What's the worst joke you've ever heard?
It’s not the worst joke I've heard, just the only one I remember: "There's a position in the Kama Sutra called the plumber. You stay in all day and no one comes."

Who would win in a game of Monopoly: sinister ex-Boston chairman Jon Sotnick or sinister Bradford Park Avenue(1988) chairman Bob Blackburn?
Blackburn. When it got difficult for Sotnick, he'd notice a game of Cluedo going on across the room and leave abruptly to join that.

Will you be taking the Harry Ramsden's fish and chip challenge in Guiseley? If so, provide an estimate of time elapsed between first forkful and last forkful, to the nearest second.
No, I'm a vegetarian and haven't eaten fish since the 1980s.

Which away trip would you happily gouge your own eyes out to avoid?
Living in Sheffield, most away games are within easy reach. There are no unfeasibly long trips like Dover or Barrow or scary places like Donny and er, Barrow. Since the fixtures appeared however, I am reconsidering my original intention to camp after the Whitby game.

Which is your favourite ship built by the world famous Cammell Laird shipyard?
Pa Roberts.

Who is going to be Boston's key player this season?
Leabon, his pace should get him a few goals.
