Those of you who are still interested in the Golden Boot Game might have noticed that we have now updated the HISTORY section of our website with the results from last season (2023 – 2024). This means the HISTORY section now contains a complete list of teams that have won significant prizes over the entire 21 season life of the Golden Boot Game.
On 30th June we will be removing last season’s data from the website. The most immediate consequence of this is that the website will probably have several periods when it is not possible to use it on June 30th. All tables, cup results, strikers etc. will disappear. You will no longer be able to see your team’s selections or scores from last season. Last season’s Calendar will also be removed. Crucially, the Web Log, Prizes and History section will still be accessible together with the Help section for those who might need to contact the Controllers.
If your team was one of the few who failed to win any prize tokens over the last three seasons or if your team has already exchanged all the prize tokens they have won, you will no longer be able to log in to the Golden Boot Game after 30th June. All your data held by the Golden Boot Game will be deleted. We will send each player whose data has been deleted a confirmation email within one week of their data being deleted.
Those teams that still have tokens to exchange will still be able to log in to the Golden Boot Game after 30th June. Instead of going straight to the Dashboard page, they will be directed to the My Profile page when they log in. From this page there is a direct link to the ‘exchange your tokens here’ page. There you can exchange your tokens for one or more of our prize options.
The following teams that were active last season will definitely have their data deleted on 30th June: Bury Wanderer, Cheshire Town, Eight Wizards, J1J1, Lancashire Rover, M1, Merrall’s Marauders, Ming’s Dynasty, Noboots, Pain In The Arsenal, Silly Rockets, Sofy and Upforthecup.
The seventeen other teams that played the Golden Boot Game last season still have some tokens to exchange. Teams that still have not exchanged all their prize tokens by the end of July will be sent an email reminder. Players have until 31st May 2025 to exchange their prize tokens, so there is no need to rush at this stage.
As always, we intend to process any requests to exchange prize tokens within 48 hours of us receiving them. This will be helped if you use the tokens exchange form, accessible from your team’s My Profile page, to exchange your tokens. If you email us directly, it could delay the processing of your request.
For all other maintenance we will be operating on a monthly basis. At the end of each month, we will send out reminder emails to those teams who still have prize tokens to exchange, starting at the end of July. A few days into the new month we will delete all the data for teams that have exchanged all their remaining tokens during the previous month. We will also write a weblog at about the same time, documenting the teams that have been deleted this month and those who currently still have prize tokens to exchange. This schedule will continue until all teams have exchanged all their remaining prize tokens or until April 2025, whichever is earlier.
We will be publishing weblogs at the start of each month from now on. This means your next update of news from the Golden Boot Game will be published on Wednesday 3rd July, just a few short hours before those of us who are registered can cast our vote in the UK’s general election. We expect to have news of how the exchange of tokens is progressing and we will be letting you know if there are any updates to our plans. If everything is going smoothly, it might be quite a short blog.
