Many congratulations to @NewburyWanderer closest and Forecaster of the Week with a score of 52. Congratulations to @Glenactico and @Commoner who were the only two other forecasters within one hundred.
Our average prediction was 6137 which was an underestimate by just over 10%.
Pleasant surprise all round for this. I thought as a special treat I was going to highlight all those who predicted 5000+, but our Forecaster of the Week, @NewburyWanderer, was the only one!
Many congratulations again to @NewburyWanderer who missed this heartening number by only two.
Also congratulations to @Glenactico who was the only other forecaster within one hundred.
I might not have the 'Tour de Season' updates done until Monday evening.
The knowledge that Oxford had only 100 tickets left was certainly a major factor. The increase in the number of home fans (20%?) compared with the Peterborough match must have exceeded the expectations of even the most optimistic of Wycombe fans.
At least a dozen of us seriously underestimated the impact of the Peterborough result and performance. Very welcome elasticity of demand. Let’s home the present trajectory can be sustained.
I’m not sure a couple of days off the month would have made much difference. I know it all depends on the timing of preceding months’ payments but, in my case, it is a five week month for weekly grocery deliveries !

It seems that your son is more optimistic than your good self @Twizz !
Haven’t noticed if that is reflected in the score predictions though.
I think he's started using science when making a prediction rather than my guess work.
I make a guess every week based on about 30 seconds of thought.
This week's thought process was 5 goals + win + short month + local derby = bigger crowd.
* + better weather
You knew the home terrace was closed to sell-out = science

Just noticed that @Glenactico doesn't chance his arm when it comes to score predictions.
It's no wonder when you see how badly I'm doing?
