(I hope all well with you @railwaysteve and that this being Shrewsbury isn't giving you uncomfortable memories.)
That is considerate, thank you @ValleyWanderer - I am doing ok - I personally washed the car today, the last time was for the last Shrewsbury experience.
I do have positive memories of the game, as I was taken into the ground and spent it in the medical room - I was sensible enough by the start of the second half to recognise from the shouting when we scored, (twice). The ambulance team, were two Shrewsbury supporting women who were not so happy.
It does seem significant and I wish I could make it tonight but it is too far still to drive back to Cambridge from Wycombe alone.
Will do an update for the tonight gate predicition competition very shortly.
Congratulations to @our_frank - Forecaster of the Week [3820 predicted - actual 3871]
Honourable metions for all those with double digit scores. @DevC who was the next closest - and thanks for the mention on here that 700 watched at home - (I see that the club tweeted out that figure @NewburyWanderer continues a good run of form and @a40 with the magic double digit score of 99.
Overall we overestimated the attendence and perhaps underestimated the draw of Wanderers TV - the average prediction was just shy of 400 too high.
For the away attendence of 249 we were collectively much better - our average was 237.
Although there is no season long competition for away crowds, this week there is a special mention for @bookertease who said 250.

Whoops. I am very sorry. Thanks @floyd, and thanks to @ryan_w_kirkby2 and @Erroll_Sims - I haven't worked out yet what went wrong, but the figures below are good.
The top congratulations for away crowd prediction properly go to @thedieharder although @bookertease wasn't far off.

Tea time update - Deadline - just over an hour away.
34 posts including this one - 31 predictions to date.
We are saying:
Average for Total Crowd: 4275
Average for Away Crowd 239
Gentle reminders for:
@bookertease
@DevC
@eric_plant
@ForeverBlue
@HCBlue
@JohnBoy
@perfidious_albion
@username123 (and Lady TF)
@LDF
Let’s go for an optimistic 4343 including 232
no feel for this (as per most games some would say).
3811 (253)
4,093 with 154 Salopians.
Crowd was 3871 - not great for a promotion chasing league 1 side.
700 watched from home!
