For the first time I will be watching this game from a little known remote French speaking region of the Cambridgeshire fens - I am not quite ready for a long away trip yet.
Below is the list of those who have frequently predicted and who I reckon have yet to do so for this game - which does offer a better than most chance of making a bullseye forecast.
There is no pressure - I find the "Derby County and the EFL" thread complusive reading too.
As always anyone is welcome to have a go at guessing the crowd.
I take the BBC site as gospel, but there is nothing on there yet. I'll prepare it with 3865 and a very creditable 328, but not publish until there is a confirmation. Whatever happens there look likely to be a lot of people with double digit scores - if @bluntphil knows better than the announcer then @PJS would be absolutely spot on.
Yes. Congratulations to all on very accurate crowd forecasting. The top twenty and just the top twently all within 100 of the actual attendence of 3865.
Many congratulations to @ValleyWanderer - closest and winner of the Forecaster of the Week award.
Sorry @username123 - can't even bend the rules because for once we kicked off on time. You do get a special mention for being the only person who overestimated the Wycombe following - all the rest of us were miserly with that prediction.

The away crowd predictions were all close too, although we nearly all underestimated it. The top ten were:
@bookertease whose prediction of 333 was out by 5 @eric_plant whose prediction of 322 was out by 6 @Will_i_ams whose prediction of 321 was out by 7 @MindlessDrugHoover whose prediction of 321 was out by 7 @PJS whose prediction of 310 was out by 18 @NewburyWanderer whose prediction of 307 was out by 21 @thedieharder whose prediction of 300 was out by 28 @mooneyman whose prediction of 299 was out by 29 @floyd whose prediction of 296 was out by 32 @ryan_w_kirby whose prediction of 295 was out by 33

4187/203 please. Thank you.
Enjoy the game - I trust what I imagine as the rolling Provencal countryside provides an agreeable backdrop.
3650 - 234 Wycombe
3939 including 333 of us
3831 with 295 away
Depends on which way you’re facing, I imagine.
3713 with 381 chairboys
3822, with 286 away.
3,782 with 198 most welcome and most intrepid fans from Wycombe.
3,876 with 322 away fans

Oh fuck excuse my language. I was washing the car! I’ll take a 3987 with 384 wycombe if I can be squeezed on ??
Phil has just said the attendance is 3825, with 325 from Wycombe.
Just realised that puts me only 3 out. I’d be happy if we hadn’t just conceded again.
Stadium announcer then says it’s 3865 with 328 from Wycombe. Never mind!

Safe journey to those travelling home.
3865 on the BBC. I will post very soon - probably do a top 20 to make sure everyone who has a double digit score is mentioned.
Yes. Congratulations to all on very accurate crowd forecasting. The top twenty and just the top twently all within 100 of the actual attendence of 3865.

Very good predicting this week
Probably the best ever. I know it is small compensation, but I reckon it was a small positive. Lots of credit to the 328.
Do you get any points for getting away attendance correct, or is that just for glory?
The glory and the virtual laurel wreath for Forecaster of the Week if it so happens that two people tie on closest with the match attendance forecast.
