GGOA Readers' Survey: Omiya In J1 2011

With the J1 2011 season now just a few days away, fans of all eighteen clubs will generally be at their most optimistic: not a ball has been kicked, not a whistle blown or card issued, not a last-minute goal conceded*. In short, nothing has yet gone wrong, even for the Squirrels. We have a nice new shirt design, a new slogan, some good new young players and a coach who seems to have a reasonable idea what he's doing. How many times in the past have we been able to say all of those things?

So now it's time to predict where Ardija will finish in J1 this season. Are Omiya going to stun the whole of the J-League and get a top three spot? Will we spend the whole of the year stuck to the bottom of the table? Or will we be pretty bad for most of the time, look in the autumn as if we're going to get properly dragged into the relegation places and then finally emerge as being a bit better than three other teams? Or some other scenario, maybe? Anyhow, the box is over there on the right-hand side of this page. Get voting!

* The scoring of last-minute goals is, I understand, also possible.
