Let the Nation Decide (Again)

For my Non-League Day 2012 there are games for me at only six "unvisited" Step 3 grounds. Roy Hodgson's prima donnas will decide for me as they take on San Marino at Wembley this evening.  Hopefully this table is self-explanatory and will not add significantly to anyone's burden of expectation.

SMALL PRINT:

All odds taken from the Ladbrokes website at 1900hrs BST.  Possible match outcomes arranged in order of likelihood and then divided among the six possible grounds in alphabetical order. Other companies are available to take your money in the form of betting, though some are disguised as banks and insurance companies.  If none of these outcomes occurs (e.g. a 10-0 victory for either side, or a 6-3 win for San Marino which will be compared forever as a footballing lesson with the 1953 Hungarians) then I will beat myself red raw with a stale baguette and start again with a list of 79 possible FA Vase ties at step 5 grounds.  It's not going to happen, is it.  Is it?  This should be more reliable than that thing with the nuts on the garden path.
