Well everybody overestimated the crowd and that was despite the low key tone of posts before the game across the Gasroom.
So apologies to all for going first with a prediction that was out by 20%.
Many congratulations to @LDF who was close enough for it not to count as an overestimate - just a very near miss - a prediction of 3400 missed by only 9. Forecaster of the Week no less.
Congratulations to @DevC who has the only double digit score - 82 with a forecast of 3473.

Not suprisingly, we were much closer with the away crowd predictions, although again we nearly all overestimated the attraction of the fixture.
Hats off for @NewburyWanderer who forecaster exactly the number of travelling Cods who would have something to talk about on the long journey home.

Watch out for the Portsmouth thread. Vital game and maybe not to difficult to make a close prediction.
I'm not sure it's much of a surprise. Prices for absolutely everything are going through the roof. Fuel, food and petrol all massively squeezing the budgets.
How many of our more casual fans or even those who don't use social media even realised the fixture had been brought forward from the 26th.
I would think those without Season tickets were also choosing between Pompey away or Fleetwood at home.

I think the better than normal big crowds make last nights look small. Having said that though the club do seem to be actively promoting midweek Wanderers TV as opposed to going live and the constant service cancellations don’t make it attractive.
Interesting to compare the attendance for the Long Crendon B&B game to last night.
I think there's a bigger difference between our Saturday and Tuesday home attendances than there is with many other clubs. I often wonder why that is. Think it's probably to do with our supporter base, which consists of a lot of families with young children, so midweek evening matches can be a problem. It may also be the fact that a relatively large proportion of our supporters live well outside Wycombe, meaning they also find it hard to make midweek games.

Very good!
3678 with 93 from Fleetwood
Attendance 3,391. Believe the away contingent was 61, might have misheard that.
Gasman says 61 away fans, so that's OK ?

Same number of away fans as home to Fleetwood on 11th February 2020
Ooh, I've won. I wish I hadn't though, it's really worrying that our support seems to be in such decline.

As matches are available to view on TV surely that must also have a negative impact on attendance/ Are figures available for those watching?
