Many congratulations to @robin for being the first Forecaster of the Week of the Season, and with a single figure miss which will quite probably count in the personal best ten at the end of the season.
Special mentions foor @Pilot_Phonic and @theRoyalBiscuit both competing for the first time on here and both making it into the top twenty. Also it is worth noting that this was the first time we have two forecasts from 'opposition club supporters'.
Anyone is welcome to forecast for our Birmingham home game, You need to make at least ten forecasts over the whole season to stand a chance of being lauded as Forecaster of the Season, above ten forecasts and all those which are not in your best ten are discarded.
I will probably start the Birmingham attendance prediction thread tomorrow - Monday and complete the tables post the tables for the away and home fans on this thread. We are away for the weekend - not in Wrexham - a holiday was arranged long before the fixture list was fixed and we turned out to be the lucky League One team to go there first.
I am happy to learn of any ,mistakes, it is an updated spreadsheet doing the work on a new computer.
One revised table for the first game of the season. Three people positioned or repositioned in the table because of corrected scores.
Congratulations to @wwfcblue (moved to 3rd). Congratulations to @PJS now properly in the table in 5th and congratulations to @perfidious_albion now properly in the table at 10th. Thanks to all three for the corrections.
Ten forecasters now with very respectable sub 100 scores. And the Top 20 Table is graced by two opposition supporters.
Firstly very many congratulations to @MindlessDrugHoover who was very close - missing by just two.
Then a comment that if the competition required the home crowd to be predicted rather than the away support, I am absolutely certain that the spot on number - 12123 - would have been a popular choice. Amazing that @MindlessDrugHoover chose / worked out another ''magic number' - 12121 and came so close. Super credit for this - whether or not it was deliberate!
There was quite a cluster of forecasters who were out by close to a hundred - @MFH_Blue and @mooneyman have a mention here because they were both out by 99. Congratulations to them and to @robin, @PJS, @a40, @Manboobs, @DevC and @ryan_w_kirkby2 who all were within 100.
Please look out for the Birmingham home game thread which should be up soon.

Hi Steve,
My guess was 13173, not the 13313 you have in the table.
41 away from the 13214.
Think this puts me in the 100 club as well? @railwaysteve . Maybe the @wwfcblue score on the chart was mine?
Must have gone too soon. I knew a few days later that I’d underestimated but didn’t realise that I wouldn’t even make the top 20 !
Hi @railwaysteve hope all is good with you. Have a feeling you have missed my prediction! Best wishes
Looks like the table is going to need an overhaul and republishing tomorrow! Apologies to all concerned.
No need to apologise mate, I think everyone appreciates the time and effort you put in.
Well appreciated @railwaysteve !
If you could somehow make my prediction closer to the actual total that would be good. 👍

Other tables to follow - probably tomorrow now.
Top Twenty for the very creditable Away Attendance: [Actual 1091]
Many congratulations to @PJS - closest to our contribution to what was their largest crowd for a league game since 1980.
Congratulations also to @93Chairboy, @Pilot_Phonic, @LDF and @Onlooker who were all within ten.
Top Twenty for Home Crowd: [Actual 12123!]
