The club have confirmed that there will be a signed shirt for the season long prediction competition Your closest 10 predictions will count. Rest of the details soon. Gillingham away likely to be a game where there will be a number of forecasters who will be close, so a good game to make a first time shot.

For some reason Gillingham don’t appear to have announced the gate figure - the only missing one for the whole of League 1 on the BBC app.
Steve "brown envelope" Evans is the boss. Need i say more @micra?
Came up as 4400 and something (can't remember the last two figures), on the BBC site just after the end of the game yesterday, but as you say it has now disappeared. Strange.
Gillingham had over 4500 home fans for one of their Saturday August games and over 4300 home fans for the other. With holiday time now over, I don’t really understand tbh why that would drop on a nice day against league leaders to around 4000. Which is why I am shit at this game.
Finally @WidmerWanderer deserves an honourable mention for his prediction of 533 for the number of the warm blues, closest with 11 away from the actual 524.
Best week for forecasting the attendance yet.
Happy predicting to all for the Accrington and Pompey games.

It took them a few days to come up with a figure the last time we played there if I remember correctly.
They announced it as roughly what @NewburyWanderer said, with 400-something Blues, as we left.
Only 400-something? Looked a lot more than that!

I have e-mailed Gillingham to ask what the official attendance figures were. Watch this space.
Received back from Gillingham:
"Thanks , the total was 4814 of which 542 were your supporters"
Congratulations and round of applause for this week's winner- @ValleyWanderer - who was only two away with 4816. Most excellent reading of the runes

Some tidy forecasting this past weekend.
I reckon my aggregate of 25 on Saturday won’t be beaten this season, though if it is, it’s likely to be tomorrow.
Of course, my earlier predictions were so far out that I'm sure I haven't reached average yet!
