Looking good for you @thedieharder !
Not sure post-teamsheet predictions are eligible though.
How do you know what the match will be like judging on the team sheets? I mean football is unpredictable so I believe it does not really make a difference.
Perhaps mistakenly, I thought there was a cut-off an hour before kick-off. Perhaps that applies to the attendance prediction which would be more logical of course but still a bit arbitrary.
I've sometimes regretted not being able to change my prediction after watching Dobbo supervise a pre-game drill where 20 or 30 shots miss the goal and hammer into the back row of the terrace.
Just to clear this up @micra and @thedieharder, there are a couple of differences in rules between "my" score prediction game and @railwaysteve crowd game.
I allow predictions right up to kickoff - if you want to judge the teams selected fine with me. railway imposes an hour cut off to stop I suppose people looking around at the crowd (or at Accy on a wet tuesday counting them).
I allow changes in predictions, Railway takes your first go. Not sure there is a lot of logic on either side - it just is.
Many a time I have been minding my own business in Darkest Devon at 2.50 when I have been smacked on the back of the head with a WWFC branded football. I assume thats when Dobbo has been doing his pre-match shooting drill to which @Wendoverman refers.

Why is it that ever game these days feels like ‘a season defining game’? But it does.

Ok, flattery and sincerity I suppose @Ned_Ludd ! (See crowd forecast thread.)

But thank you for the compliment @micra

Shooting is a dying art, especially in wartime.
