Have you escaped ?

That’s the one. Two old(er) ladies pulling pints like their lives depended on it to a throng of thirsty customers.

This is my favourite post ever sir

Top Twenty for the Total Crowd: [27522]

Congratulations to @williwycombe, Forecaster of the Week.

Most were blindsided by the maximum capacity being less for us than it was for Reading, Wrexham and Newcastle earlier this season.

Nobody was within one hundred and @Alexo was the only other forecaster within two hundred.

Those shown in yellow are entries which came after @railwaybeth's kind post on my behalf to say that further entries would not count in the 'Tour de Season' because, as @DevC pointed out, both clubs had declared a complete sell out.

That same rule has been applied in the past and will apply for at least the rest of this season, so I will put up a thread for the Wrexham game soon.

Top Twenty Four for the Away Crowd: [1930]

Many Congratulations to @NewburyWanderer who was closest to our number, with the only underestimate in the top 24.

Everyone was within 5% [96.5] - so congratulations all round.

Top Twenty for the Home Crowd: [Calculated 25,592]

Many congratulations to @williwycombe who was closest for the home crowd as well as the total crowd, not surprising considering how close to each other all the away crowd predictions were.

Congratulations to @Alexo who was the only other forecaster within one hundred.

I will start other prediction threads before updating the 'Tour de Season' updates for the Birmingham match.

I made the long stroll from the train station to the ground and had a pint at (outside) The Cricketers, a lovely old boozer with no hint of trouble. Albeit it was being watched by a few coppers. I’m sure it gets more hostile when ‘bigger’ clubs with larger groups of motley idiots come to town but on the whole I found it pretty relaxed. I liked the murals and club crests dotted about and outside pubs, gave the place a sense of identity. Would be nice if our local civics could at least erect a few WWFC banners in the town or up Crendon Street. The football club is the only thing putting the town on the map after all.

I’d be very surprised if decent supporters of our rivals still think the same way today. We’re second on merit, and whilst the heady heights of Stockport away are now a long, gone memory, I’d like to think we’ve earned our rivals’ respect. Maybe not! I suppose we’ll always be ‘little Wycombe’ to many.

We went to The Cricketers Arm for a swift pint pre-game, if that's where you mean, @williwycombe. I believe I saw our very own @Erroll_Sims stroll in as well?

The current on is great. But a great man serves two.

To the tune of Zombie by the Cranberries..

It does seem a bit careless not to be able to get on a bus because you have advertised who you support.

Pre game I popped into a 'home fans only' pub and enjoyed 'rat in my kitchen' playing on the speakers. Possibly the perfect Birmingham music soundtrack.

(Not a slur against Birmingham btw..easily in my top ten tracks of all time)
