Pauline Kettleworth has set up a folding table outside Bristol Colliers' ground before every home match for over a decade, tarot cards laid out, offering a scoreline prediction to anyone who asks.

Her overall record is, by her own cheerful admission, no better than flipping a coin. Her record over the last five matches is three correct scorelines, which is either a coincidence or the best run of her career, depending who you ask.

It's started to matter to more than the regulars who stop for a laugh on the way in. Two first-team players were seen approaching her table before kickoff this month, for the first time anyone can remember, rather than after the final whistle.

Pauline says she doesn't take any of it too seriously. She has, however, started charging a pound a reading, which she didn't used to.
