Just for fun 8965 including 1265 chairboys and girls please
9,024 including 1,311 Chairfolk.
With more tickets being released by Wycombe surely all predictions should count
9001 with 1101 chairboys
8923 with 1273
8932 with 1279 away
Given as 8935 at the ground
Top Twenty for the Total Crowd: [8935]
This table looks slightly unusual in order to better present the results after the early sell out. For the same underlying reason, I reckon, there were just 24 predictions .
The blue and white entries were prior to my post noting the sell out and the yellow highlighted entries came after.
Very rare many congratulations to myself, on this rare occasion being the closest and overestimating by a single person.
Many congratulations also to @williwycombe; @Ryan_W_Kirkby; @thecatwwfc and @Erroll_Sims who all had single digit misses.
Congratulations to the entire top nineteen who were all within one hundred.
It is maybe worth noting that there didn’t seem to be much advantage to predicting after the sell out was declared - there were 10 early predictions and 14 later ones and the ten closest split 5 / 5.
Top Twenty for the Away Crowd: [1275]
Very many congratulations to @ChipsintheAdams for the second single person miss of the match - they don’t happen often two in one match hasn’t happened this season.
Many congratulations for the single digit misses to @bookertease and @Ryan_W_Kirkby.
Congratulations again to the top nineteen who were all within 5% [63.75] and commisserations to @shitcagowwfc in 20th .who missed out on this narrowly.
Top Twenty for the Home Crowd [7660]
Many congratulations to @wwfcblue who was closest on this measure and congratulations to @Ryan_W_Kirkby and @Erroll_Sims who had single digit misses.
Congratulations to the top sixteen who were all within one hundred.
@railwaysteve , if you go back through the thread you will see my prediction is one before your sell out post )& would score on my 10 best for the season).
@perfidious_albion - Ah, blow it, that’s absolutely true. I made a mistake when I did the highlighting a while back Your 63 will count.
I must have been overly pleased when I realised that my own prediction was quite close.

‘Quite close’! A great score @railwaysteve - again many thanks for organising such a fun comp through the season👍
Particularly for @perfidious_albion - but might be of interest to others.
I have just worked out what went wrong with the data - I looked at the spreadsheets as I had the Tour de Season Leaderboard 90% ready. Your 63 was already counting on there and everything else was right too on there!
So then I thought there might have been a major chaos with my highlighting and was thinking that I had misled most of the forecasters, but it turned out that a double sort of the table for Top Twenty put in identical scores of 63 for yourself and @ChipsintheAdams in the opposite order without moving the highlighting.
I have put all this down for consumption by the Gasroom because:
a) I used to do a fair bit of incident investigation when I worked on the railway and I like to know what went wrong.
b) It is a fairly interesting case study in what can go wrong with data without decent scrutiny which may have some relevance currently both in the US and closer to home.
Anyway for those of you whose patience I have been trying - I should have the Leaderboard for after the Orient game published soon.
And thanks for the kind words
