BBC say 11821 which makes @DJWYC14 the closest with 11765. Congratulations on accurate predicting.
I know it was a close run thing but at 14.08 @thedieharder's is less than an hour before kick
The only honourable mention is for @Wendoverman who was 79 out with 11900 - mayhap he numbers for the noisy and sometimes incensed away crowd will reveal further close predictions.

Chairboys!
Very nice little town Penistone - my ex missus's family was from Barnsley over in the Darkside (ie Yorkshire!) and we lived for a bit in the village of Thurlstone just outside Penistone. Small world.
I did wonder at the time @mooneyman but refrained from comment. My confidence took a nasty blow when I missed out on a hat-trick of extremely close consecutive calls as a result of my revised prediction for Luton being disallowed.
I really thought that the forecast of a springlike day and their arrival in the automatics would put 5-10% on their average gate. I thought I might well have been 300-400 too high but that I’d nevertheless be one of the closest.
Lesson learned.
Don’t hesitate to be guided by my score predictions. They’re usually quite good!

Pretty sure the away crowd was announced as 411.
411 puts @BlueBoy spot on - and is a very creditable number by us.
It was indeed 411. A small personal highlight from an otherwise tough afternoon at Oakwell.
Well done @BlueBoy. @mooneyman and I had grossly exaggerated expectations of the pulling power of a visit from the Old Bucks Boys.
That's the last time I follow your advice @micra!

Whoops! Had forgotten that you’re above me (and were in top spot until the emergence of Oxford and Forever as the ones to beat).
