@railwaysteve I thought I'd made more than that, maybe I've missed a cut-off time on previous ones.
I predict 3,562 with 451 hardy souls making their way from South Bucks to the town that is the arch nemesis of profanity filters
3489 the attendance - I haven't found any figures for the away crowd yet - please post if anyone has them.
A good day for those who forecast - a total of 23 gasroomers did so and 11 recorded predictions within one hundred of the actual attendance.
Closest was @thedieharder - first prediction and only 10 away with 3479 - congratulations indeed.
Next closest @NorsQuarters - 11 away with 3500 - congratulations for fine predicting.
Congratulations to our two top current predictors who stayed in close contention at the very top of the 'Tour de Season' table - @Shev whose prediction of 3433 was 56 away and @Manboobs whose prediction of 3412 was 77 away.
Blue Average was out by only 52 - 3437 was our collective prediction.
So I am trying to put today's result behind me, I guess it could have been somewhat frustrating for those who were there, it was bad enough hearing the @bluntphil telling the sad tale and he does it very well.
I will put the forecast thread up for the Coventry game hopefully this evening.
Will it be a bumper crowd? Here's to next year.
