The performance of the Funds are now beginning to take shape. At the end of February, the Championship Fund is up 118%, Premier League Fund up 48% and the Trading Fund up 408%. Most of the gains in February have come from Championship tips including yesterday’s tips to back Notts Forest at Reading and Plymouth at Wolves.
