I am conscious that for some this game doesn't exist - my own view is that it is worth 3 points and the money is ours. So here is a very gentle nudge for those who often predict:
The fact that the terrace has only just sold out suggests that today’s attendance will be significantly below the Oxford ‘gate’. I’d be surprised, though, if MK don’t come close to filling the away end. They have a short journey and they are serious playoff contenders.
1 @DJWYC14 whose prediction of 7345 absolutely spot on
2 @thedieharder whose prediction of 7300 was out by 45
3 @ryan_w_kirby whose prediction of 7286 was out by 59
4 @railwaysteve whose prediction of 7444 was out by 99
5 @Will_i_ams whose prediction of 7238 was out by 107
6 @NewburyWanderer whose prediction of 7218 was out by 127
7 @Forest_Blue whose prediction of 7500 was out by 155
8 @micra whose prediction of 7500 was out by 155
9 @LDF whose prediction of 7500 was out by 155
10 @DevC whose prediction of 7529 was out by 184
Should manage the update to the 'Tour de Season' competition soon.
Could be worth doing a competition on what time a match finishes sometime!
Thanks @micra - I think we all need cheering up a bit after that game and that worked for me - I comtemplated congratulating myself but held back as 99 'the ice cream score' whilst quite tasty is only just a double digit prediction.

Terrace sold out just according to our Twitter.

7500, 1600 away.
Think I’ve been over optimistic. May I go 7054 with 1280 MK?

I’ll go 7500 including 1650 unmentionables.
Whoops! Have just seen @LDF’s prediction.
Great minds, perhaps.
7529 with 1462 mostly decent people supporting their local team.
I think you’re over pessimistic!?
7650 - 1450 MK
This post almost dead on the deadline at moments after 14:00. 32 predictions.
We say:
Average for Total Crowd: 7640
Average for Away Crowd 1643
That just shy of 6000 glorious home supporters, a couple of hundred less than the Oxford.
Sorry @perfidious_albion - there are only a few special occasions when changess are allowed.
7286 with 1306 away
This one counts as I predict we kick off 4 mins late.
Fair enough. @NewburyWanderer gets it for me. Looking like everyone is over optimistic, sorry @micra?
7,345 announced
Sad to say, @DevC, the volume of what sounded like the vast majority of MK fans chanting vile abuse against Bayo
suggests otherwise.
Top, top congratulations to @DJWYC14 who for the first time this season produced a completely accurate prediction for the attendence. Take a bow Sir.
Congratulations to @thedieharder and @ryan_w_kirkby who landed good double digit predictions.
The popular prediction of 7500 was out by 155.

Tip of the hat to @DJWYC14!
