Best Of
Re: Wanderers TV
Big thanks to @Erroll_Sims and @Shev who have both recorded excellent chats with me for 'Till Death Us Do Part' during pre-season, not forgetting those of you who featured last season too.
I'd love to get more of you to chat about our wonderful club! Below are the questions...
Something Old (best WW memory)
Something New (favourite current player)
Something Borrowed (favourite ever loanee or player you’d wish we’d signed
Something Blue - A great idea for a piece of WW merch or you’re favourite piece of WW merch
We record them over zoom and it takes about 20 minutes. This season it will be audio and visual so a good back drop will be appreciated!
Let me know if you want to take part either by messaging me on here or on [email protected]
Cheers and COYB!
Phil
Gasroom General Election poll
As requested on the politics thread - a poll that you are free to ignore...
The Great Ground Vote - THE FINAL
After 34 votes (well done all!) we are down to the 35th vote, and the final! Well done to both of these clubs and grounds, and their reward for making it this far is a whopping six photos each.
We have generally not got more than about 70 votes per round, so this will run as long as needed for either ground to have an unassailable lead based around that number. If the uptake is strong and it is still close around 70, I will announce an actual day and time for a vote close.
Thanks to all you Gasroomers for sticking with these through a month of voting! Thanks also to Mikheil and the new owners for kindly waiting to more or less the end of the vote before kicking summer activities into gear - they know what really matters!
Re: Dan Rice Interview
Enjoyable interview and promising plans - no mention of fixing the roof or toilets though!
I also wholeheartedly believe that not a single club have a better broadcaster than we do in Phil - everything he is in is made better by his presence. Sign him to a lifetime contract please
The Great Ground Vote - Quarter Final 1
We are down to the last eight, and with these head to head matchups there will now be the benefit of additional photos inside the grounds.
Re: End of season thanks
Something very odd happens when I @ someone on my phone.
I guess I should just leave it alone.
But I always want to post a bit more.
Even on subjects about which I'm not sure.
Final MOTM Standings
Josh Scowen swept all three categories again, and was Player of the Season for a lot of us - I think a lot of people were just bored with the status quo.
Full excel file attached for anyone who likes that kind of thing.
JJ marked his final appearance with the most romantic outcome of all - a Man of the Match award on the Gasroom!

Re: 23 / 24 Season Attendance Prediction Competition
End of the Season - After the Charlton Home Game:
Very many congratulations indeed to @NewburyWanderer - Attendance Prediction Champion of the Season as well as already being crowned Score Prediction Champion of the Season - probably better than Manchester City, which takes a considerable amount of concentration and application.
Many congratulations to @Onlooker and @Will_i_ams who ran @NewburyWanderer very close so that the result was still in doubt until the figures were in for the last game of the season.
Congratulations to @Commoner and @micra who both climbed a place on the last day to reach fourth and fifth respectively. @micra deserves a mention for the fact that he feared relegation in the early part of 2024 and has produced a Bloomfield quality turnround. Also there was some style in reaching fifth in that it was achieved by exactly matching the overall score of @wwfcblue so that the two of them ended the season in fifth equal and @wwfcblue did not lose a place.
The top four all managed at least ten predictions closer than one hundred, a tremendous achievement.
Congratulations to @Shev, @ryan_w_kirkby2, @a40 and @DevC who made up the remainder of the top ten, @DevC by a single predicted person from @MindlessDrugHoover.
Congratulations to @robin, to myself and to @Erroll_Sims who all improved scores and gained places on the Leaderboard on the last day.
The top part of the Leaderboard has 20 Forecasters for the first time this season, because of the tie in 19th between @bookertease and @perfidious_albion.
Congratulations to everyone who made it to a best ten average of better than one hundred.
Congratulations and thanks to those who made a prediction for every game this season - @NewburyWanderer, @Shev (thanks for the comments too!), @DevC (thanks for the score prediction competition at which I was terrible but enjoyed tremendously), @Manboobs (thanks for the comments), @robin (thank you for the times you posted official attendances post match) and @Twizz (who deserves a special mention more of which in minute)
Mentions for @Wendoverman, @our_frank, @thecatwwfc, @SmiroludyBlue and @LDF who achieved their positions on relatively few predictions.
Congratulations indeed to @Alexo who had the single best predicition of the season of a total attendance with a spot on forecast for our home game against Peterborough - a rather hope you will be able to repeat that (and we can repeat the score next season).
Congratulations for consistency goes to @Twizz who has all 'best ten prediction scores' all in the narrow band between 67 and 130.
Finally thanks to everyone who has made a prediction, I have really enjoyed doing it and its been a lot of fun with the ingenuity of some of the numerical arrangements. Next season I will see if I can manage the smiley emoticons for up and down movements on the Leaderboard I promised much earlier in the season.
Later in the summer I also hope to manage to produce an 'All Time Leaderboard as @Shev once suggested.
Re: 23 / 24 Season Attendance Prediction Competition
After the Barnsley Away Game:
Many congratulations to @Will_i_ams who retakes the revolving lead at the top of the Leaderboard. As one of the three who recorded the third best score of the match - (34), @Will_i_ams doesn't quite have clear water from @Onlooker and @Forest_Blue who was also one of the three with (34).
There is now a bunch of three on the shoulder of @Will_i_ams, the period when @Onlooker and @Will_i_ams had the lead to themselves may have run its course.
Congratulations to @Wendoverman who had the second best score of the Barnsley game (21), his own best score of the season so far, and in consequence jumped from 10th to 6th in the table.
Further congratulations to @ryan_w_kirkby2, Forecaster of the Week for the Barnsley game (13 scored), and one who makes a leap from 16th to 9th on the Leaderboard. He also recorded a personal best of the season so far.
Congratulations finally to @mwite, the third of the trio scoring 34, the third of the trio recording a new personal best and one of only two to leap up the table by 5 or more places.
The closest parts of the table are now 8th (@DJWYC14) to 11th (@bookertease ) separated by around 50 tpp {total predicted people), plus 18th to 21st (@Manboobs to @micra) separated by around 30 tpp.
I reckon that everyone @A_Worboys and above is within reach of the top part of the table in a single game and nearly everyone could make that move within two games.
The Shrewsbury match is Game 19 so it will still be the nine best predictions that will count for each Forecaster. However this will be the final game for which this will be the case, from then onwards until the end of the season it will be the ten best which count and the competition should settle.
Happy predicting to all for the numbers watching us against Shrewsbury.
