    4850 with 200 Fat Controllers

    I like the use of historical reference - those stories are now around 70 years old from the time when Crewe was Crewe. Plus I love the image of 200 Fat Controllers rolling up.
    My children do tell me that the stories are dated, so I have experimented and it is possible, if you read to a modern Stephen or Bridget, to change the gender of the Fat Controller to female - I found it added something to the experience.

  • 4774 with 173

  • 4801 with 197 away thanks.

  • 4,876 with 197 most welcome Railwaypeople.

  • 4,766 with 213 Crewe fans

  • 4,766 with 213 Crewe fans

  • Top notch predicting of the crowd and a last minute winner. Fireworks deserved.

    Four single figure scores. Twenty two double digit scores. Lots of personal bests.

    Here are the Total Attendance top ten to be going on with:

    @Manboobs whose prediction of Predicted Total Crowd was out by Variance
    @Blue_since 1990 whose prediction of 4808 was out by 5
    @Alexo whose prediction of 4820 was out by 7
    @HCBlue whose prediction of 4822 was out by 9
    @ryan_w_kirby whose prediction of 4804 was out by 9
    @Forest_Blue whose prediction of 4801 was out by 12
    @BSE whose prediction of 4800 was out by 13
    @ValleyWanderer whose prediction of 4790 was out by 23
    @username123 whose prediction of 4789 was out by 24
    @YorkExile whose prediction of 4785 was out by 28

    Many congratulations to @Manboobs - Forecaster of the Week.
    Congratulations also to @Blue_since_1990, @Alexo and @HCblue for single digit scores.

    Away Attendance

    Another excellent week for predicting the away attendance
    - Many congratulations to @eric_plant who follows in the footsteps of @HCblue to absolutely nail the away attendance, so the second game in a row that has happened. Here follows the top ten.

    @eric_plant whose prediction of 213 was spot on
    @floyd whose prediction of 219 was out by 6
    @perfidious_albion whose prediction of 207 was out by 6
    @Blue_since 1990 whose prediction of 220 was out by 7
    @SmiroludyBlue whose prediction of 221 was out by 8
    @Manboobs whose prediction of 204 was out by 9
    @mooneyman whose prediction of 222 was out by 9
    @wwfcblue whose prediction of 200 was out by 13
    @ValleyWanderer whose prediction of 199 was out by 14
    @ryan_w_kirby whose prediction of 197 was out by 16

  • Thanks a lot for the update, @railwaysteve. If you'll forgive me, I think my prediction for this one was 4804 - the figure you gave for me was, I think, the one I gave for the Rotherham game. Don't think it makes a huge difference. In fact, if the crowd was 4813, I think it makes zero difference!

    Congrats to @eric_plant for the away prediction.

  • Disappointing that we can't get attendances above 5000. Not least because I predicted 5150!
    We do seem to have reached a bit of a ceiling of ~4600 home fans - I thought we might be able to get an extra 200 there today given our form, the fireworks, half-term.

  • That is a challenge…second in the league, watford away today…QPR away too…Reading away…I accept crewe is not an attractive oppo but how do we get the crowd over 5,000?

  • Top predictor, bang on with the score and a last minute winner. If only I’d been there to see it.

  • Blow it.
    Just missed the edit time by 3 mins.

    The top ten table all got moved by one place - Should have realised when @Manboobs won by 'Variance'. Everyone is in the right order but their actual predictions and scores belong to the person below.

    Apologies to all, I'll remember to a do a simple check before posting next time, even if when we do score a last minute winner.

    I did wonder what variance meant but hey I’ll take a win by any means possible. It’s the Wycombe way ?
