First game at home for a month for Cheltenham, everyone been paid recently, lots of new signings for both teams and Wycombe due to bring a sizeable contingent.
You do both know that as we won the footballing Gods will demand that you have to repeat it again and again on away trips or we will keep on losing/not winning…
Many congratulations to @DJWYC14, Forecaster of a Good Week and top of the table with a score of just 26 on a day when more of us overestimated rather than underestimated the total crowd.
Congratulations to @BSE who was the only other forecaster within one hundred.
Many congratulations indeed to @Wendoverman absolutely spot on with the impressive number of Wycombe fans who made the journey and enjoyed the game. That is the second game in a row that someone has been spot on with the away crowd - @williwycombe was spot on with the size of the Cod Army.
Many congratulations to @Alexo and @NewburyWanderer who were only out by two and four respectively and congratualtions to @MFH_Blue and @robin who were within twenty.
Top Twenty for the Home Crowd: [Actual 3583]
Congratulations to @BSE who was closest and only out by six.
The Tour de Season Leaderboard I reckon to complete later. I believe that there will be some changes across the whole Leaderboard, how dramatic there are remains to be worked out.
Well, it may just be my presence at games more than anything. This season our record with me in attendance at league games is W6 D5 L2. Our record for the games I haven't been to is W2 D5 L9.
A correction: [Top Twenty Five for the Away Crowd]
This is a corrected reissue of the Away Crowd Table for the Cheltenham game.
@perfidious_albion deserves proper credit for only missing the number of Brave Blues who made the journey to Cheltenham by a single person and I am quite a bit sorry I didn't go. Thanks also for the charming way my mistake was pointed out and I do apologise for it.
On most occasions @perfidious_albion would have been the closest and this table now properly shows him as a very commendable second closest.
The table has also been extended to include the top twenty five so that nobody is missed off and so that everybody that was within one hundred has been included. @peterparrotface, @Mandown, @williwycombe and @mwite - you appear on this table for this week for the first time.
My thanks also to anyone who has ever contributed to the science of spreadsheet construction, the science of screenshots, the science of web page design or the art of technology in general. This sort of correction and indeed this sort of 'competition' would have been impossible to achieve and publish I reckon a very short number of years ago.
@railwaysteve , the irony is I was unable to attend at the last minute having already made my away prediction as well!
As others have said this is a fun competition so many thanks for putting in all the effort to make it happen. Hope you don’t feel you’ve created ed a monster.

Late notice but we're driving and could probably help.
Just messaged you!
Really hope that arrangement goes ahead.
50 minutes to go to the deadline for predicting. Best of luck to those on their way.
We have 36 predictions in already and only the following have not predicted out of all those who have predicted at all this season - @A_Worboys @floyd @LordMandeville @username123 @Bulman22 and @Blue_since_1990.
Anyone is welcome to give it a go.
So far we say:
Average for Total Crowd: 4695
Average for Away Crowd: 555
4,181 - according to the BBC.
598 Chairfolks according to Cheltenham official site.
Thanks @LDF and thanks @NewburyWanderer. I plan to do the updated tables tomorrow.
It did!
And was highly appreciated! Thank you so much once again :)
You do both know that as we won the footballing Gods will demand that you have to repeat it again and again on away trips or we will keep on losing/not winning…
Provided that we can play Cheltenham in all the remaining away fixtures, I think it's an arrangement which could work for all involved!
Perhaps not so much for Cheltenham, though.
On that happy note of all round teamwork -
Top Twenty for the Total Crowd: [Actual 4181]

Congratulations to @BSE who was the only other forecaster within one hundred.
Mentions for @our_frank and @Blueword who were within two hundred.

Congratulations to @Blueword, @DJWYC14, @bookertease and @LDF who were all out by less the one hudred on this metric.
The Tour de Season Leaderboard I reckon to complete later. I believe that there will be some changes across the whole Leaderboard, how dramatic there are remains to be worked out.
@railwaysteve I know my total prediction was way way out but I was quite pleased with my away support guess.
Quite rightly so too. My apologies - I mis-transcibed the two predictions as 4999 and 499. I will post an improved table on Monday.
