It's Matchday , and with 31 predictions logged the gasroom's collective average total is 5772, with 4629 Wycombe fans and 1149 of the fine folk who follow Bolton. That's almost exactly in line with yesterday, which I think makes sense as we get to Saturday, but who knows, maybe Gareth's Christmas performance'll inspire a few more attendees hoping for an encore......
I'll probably put up a second update today with a reminder for anyone who hasn't predicted by then at about 1 o'clock . COYB !!
At more or less 1.30 on Matchday, we have 34 predictions for an average of 5765 total with 4621 Wycombe fans and 1149 Bolton fans. As a reminder to all of you lovely people, Steve has a strict deadline of 2PM and posts timestamped after that won't count for the overall competition.
And for fun (at least until I figure out how to add a cell to the spreadsheet) let's make a prediction of my own. I'll say 5757 total of which 1057 are away. Up the Wyc!
Ok. It took a bit of a while to get round to this after what was a frustrating game from a distance and almost certainly was one close to as well.
Also there are two important things - the first is really unfortunate and is a rules are rules thing.
There is a one hour before kick off deadline for submissions, it is a forecast game and the closer we are to kick off the more knowable is the correct answer. An hour beforehand when lots of people are still outside, in the bars or queueing in cars seems a reasonable and consistent cut off time
So there were two close and therefore good forecasts after the deadline from people who obviously weren't aware of that at the time. Sorry @eric_plant and @username123 - and I hope that at the end of the season you have ten better predictions - this one won't count in the season long competition.
I will try and publicise the deadline more promenently in future.

This could and should be another sizeable crowd.
I go 6015 with 1051 from Bolton.
All welcome to predict. Forecasts accepted for the season long competition up to 14:00 on 20.11.21. - one hour before KO.
My Op rescheduled to Weds 17th now. Theatre lists are drawn up today, however there is still the possibility of a further change. Please keep doing the predictions.
Thank goodness we won - I don't like to see predictions not counting @eric_plant and @username123
Hi @railwaysteve And hello to all the other good people of the gas-room also after a lovely game to listen to. On to the results ...

Some very accurate predicting there, I think, and honourable mentions to @Erroll_Sims , @Manboobs and @Twizz , all of whom were also within 100 and missed very narrowly out on the top ten. My own prediction was also pretty close, only 47 out, but there was some beginners luck there I tend to think.

I was out by 60 at 5650, remembered my prediction and managed to predict with a minute to go at 1.59!
Ah, so sorry , I meant to add you and then got caught up in the game. You're now added correctly to the spreadsheet and would slot in at joint 6th with BSE in the overall top ten! Thanks for pointing it out

Fair enough, didn't know that
Great news that everything is going so well Steve. Really glad to have you back
Damn I added an extra 100 to what I was originally going to predict.
Actual 5710, I believe
