New daily process

Just a bit of advance warning - I'm implementing a new process that will run daily and run matches and all the usual things that happen.

I have been testing this locally over the last few weeks, and it seems OK. However, I'm always conscious that live data may have some scenarios that I have forgotten about, so I apologise in advance if the site is down longer than expected, or it comes back up and processes have been missed.

In the worst case scenario, I'll have to do a restore of the data, and processes may have to run again - including matches, especially if they ran wrongly.

The reason for this is twofold - one is to make it use the same processes that the new site uses (so future development will rely on one codebase), and also because I am aiming to store extra data from matches in order to have more information displayed for players and matches.

It is also going to start using the captain and penalty taker lists from the new website, but with one caveat - this list will be changed to have the match-selected ones inserted as first choice as I don't expect most teams have looked at the new site yet.

Hopefully you won't notice much different initially, but then in the future, this work should become more apparent.
