Morning @micra, trust you're keeping well. I was only an outlet for Weather Underground (wunderground.com), whom I find surprisingly accurate with their 10 day prediction for the local area. I hope the bright conditions spur some extra folk along today to support the Blues and Bayo.
Afternoon @ValleyWanderer. I’m reduced nowadays to using an expression I used to really dislike. “Not too bad”! But life goes on, albeit with only very rare and very local trips beyond the home and garden. Even slightly wary about lunch out whilst there is still so much Covid about. In a few weeks time, after the promised booster, we’ll be resuming lunches with friends and I’ll DM you then.

Bright, cold afternoon with chance of a shower.
6000 including 500 doncastrians.
I’m clearly better at weather than bodies. I think the gate was given out as 5543 including 250 away fans. The lack of concerted chanting today and recently is very disappointing.
It seemed busier up in Blocks R and S of the Frank Adams than usual and although the Terrace seemed quiet today, the Frank Adams was noisier.
The official figures are 5943 and 250 making the journey. An impressive 5693 home fans.
Many congratulations to @DevC who is Forecaster of the Week for the second game in a row with a prediction of 5919 and a very creditable score of 24.
Congratulations to all of the top ten who all gained double digit scores. There is a special mention for @Manboobs and @ValleyWanderer who made joint second place for the week with the universal answer of 42, with predictions of 5901 and 5985 respectively.

Apologies to others for this diversion.

5943 according to the BBC
Yes Mat C announced 5943
It didn't seem like anywhere near that to me. What does everyone else think?
I thought it was a lot busier than the last few games

I thought so too...but it was very quiet.
