Countdown to LP5: The Roadie #42 blog sweepstakes (part seven!)

Following on from Cobalt's excellent Prospekt entry sweepstakes back in March 2008 onwards, the time has come to continue the new phase - Roadie #42 LP5 blog sweepstakes (bookmark the thread - new polls will start after every blog!) - which will lead all the way up to the release of said (as yet untitled) album. Congratulations to Elena35 who won the previous poll on September 28th! The next poll to guess when the next Roadie blog will be posted, is now open...

Look out for some mega polls coming your way over the next few months - all you have to do is decide when the next blog will be published, and enjoy the countdown. So far there have been five LP5 blogs, the polling continues with the SEVENTH at the Coldplay forum now. Roadie #42 if you're reading this, only you have the power to decide who WINS each of the sweepstakes!

Each new LP5 blog will also come with a post winner - the first person to start discussion on the blog in the coldplay.com updates thread. The winner of the mega poll for that entry will also be updated into this post! Bit of fun, will no doubt alleviate the boredom of waiting for new Coldplay! Note: You must be logged into the forums at the time of registering your vote - anonymous votes do not count towards your identity!

Betting forecast (updated 29th September 2010):

- Four of the previous five LP5 blogs have arrived on a Thursday, one appearing on a Tuesday and one on Friday.

- Two blogs have appeared very early on in the month (2nd and 3rd) with the others appearing in the middle and the end of the month (16th, 24th adn 28th).

- Two blogs have appeared in April and June. No blogs at all occured in May, and so far none in July either. Two came in September. This means that the pattern dictates that there will be two in October, now that the holidays are out of the way.

- The maximum time between blogs was 48 days, between blogs 2 and 3. The shortest was 14 days, between blogs 1 and 2, and between blogs 5 and 6.

- Previous Prospekt entries came about once a month. If there's an entry missing from a previous month, usually the next month had two Prospekt entries, one earlier in the month and another later. Prospekt entries were around the 20th-30th a whopping seven times out of nine. They were also posted five times out of nine on a Friday, and the other four times they've either been on a Wednesday or a Thursday.
