CHARTERLEAGUE 2010

HISTORY - 1995-2001

 

Welcome to the Charterleague main menu.

THE BEGINNING

Charterleague began in 1995 in a completely different format to the one known today.  Seasons would take place over the period of a month and entrants would be required to predict scorelines to Premiership football matches with three points being awarded for a correct prediction and one point being awarded for a correct result prediction.  This format lasted for two real football seasons until 1997, and at one time contained 46 participants.  The cost of each season was just £2.

 

 

THE REINVENTION

Charterleague returned in 1999 in the format that we know today.  Selections were made in the Green Man public house in Takeley, Essex and participants would contribute 50p a week to the prize fund.  On the final day of the season, competitors would gather at the pub and watch the crucial last day results unfold with a beer in their hand.  This period lasted for two seasons until 2001.

 

THE RE-EMERGENCE

In 2006 the Charterleague went online and restarted after a five year hiatus.  It is my sincere hope that I can continue it for as long as possible.
