Thank you very kindly @DevC and @ValleyWanderer - I believe @railwaybeth will be on holiday tonight somewhere in Europe. Her brother has a ticket for the game though.
Apologies - only just got working on the spreadsheets. Wednesday's allocated time for football was spent sorting tickets for the Wimbledon game!
Top Ten for the Cambridge Game
1= @a40 whose prediction of 4750 was out by 1
1= @Forest_Blue whose prediction of 4750 was out by 1
3 @Will_i_ams whose prediction of 4765 was out by 14
4 @robin whose prediction of 4730 was out by 21
5 @Manboobs whose prediction of 4789 was out by 38
6 @micra whose prediction of 4800 was out by 49
7 @NewburyWanderer whose prediction of 4849 was out by 98
8 @bigred87 whose prediction of 4634 was out by 117
9 @Shev whose prediction of 4888 was out by 137
10 @perfidious_albion whose prediction of 4901 was out by 150
Many congratulations to @Forest_Blue and @A40 for very tidy accurate predictions - 4750 just one short of the actual attendence. That is quite an achievement and there is every chance that you will both appear in the Season's 'Hall of Fame' somewhere.
Welcome to @Cecil - first prediction of the season. Out by 322 - roughly halfway to the top ten.
Congratulations to all the top ten: there are some tidy double digit scores there and I have checked - everyone in this game's top ten has a counting score for the season long competition with the exception of @NewburyWanderer who leads that competition and whose best ten predictions are all sub 100 already.
Congratulations and Commiserations both to @Twizz [4799 - 48] and @BlueBoy [4622 - 131] whose posts came after the game, perhaps due to 'technical difficulties'. The comments for recording a top ten score apply to both of you. @BlueBoy yours would not have improved your position in the very tight season long competition.
I will make the post on that thread soon and good luck to all with predicting the Gillingham attendence.
I think I will need to make special rules for predicting the Plymouth and Sheffield Weds games and start those threads early - as total sell-outs seem possible.

Hi @railwaysteve I think you may have missed my prediction in your calculations! Sorry - thanks for all you do on this - great fun across the season.
Yes, 5 predictions missed in all, I used my own update posts as markers and on this occasion didn't check that anyone had posted a prediction in the gap between me starting to write and the update post and it appearing on the thread. My mistake and apologies to all affected.
Alterations already done and posted on the 'Tour de Season'.
Here is a new top fifteen for that wonderful game at the Abbey. Unfortunately or fortunately most of the predictions that I missed were quite good. Missed predictions in bold.

All the best @railwaysteve and @railwaybeth, I'm going 4988 including 468 Chairfolk.
4901 with 464 mostly standing well away from the travelling ‘drummer’.
5,050 including 505 Wanderers

4429 with 637 Chairboys
4750 with 400 Wanderers
I'm not going so knock 1 off, @micra.

Damn, just realised I didn't hit the post button on this! I know it won't count now but I'll post it anyway.
Looks like a great crowd.
The attendance was 4,751 with 454 Chairboys.
Oops, for some reason my prediction didn’t send. For what it’s worth it was 4662, with 367 in the away end.
