The magic oif the cup and the magical slaying of the Quid a Kid Hoodoo at the same time as the dragon that was Alfie May Scores Every Game has delivered an attendance prediction thread for tomorrow’s fourth round league cup game against Premier League Fulham.
For those that play reguarly this will possibly be a one off for fun and it certainly won’t count towards the 25 / 26 Tour de Season.
For those who don’t - the idea is to forecast, guess or use tea leaves to reach a definite conclusion about what the official total attendance will be for the match against Fulham and what the official away attendance will be.
Ah - I just looked on the Fulham site and see that they have sold out.
I seem to be coming clean a lot lately but, in my desperation to improve my position in @railwaysteve’s attendance prediction table, I rang the ticket office number last Friday to enquire how ticket sales to Huddersfield were going. All fair in love and war, perhaps ?
My call was answered very quickly, almost as quickly as my well deserved come-uppance when the gentleman who’d responded said he was sorry but he couldn’t help me as he was only holding the fort while the ticket office staff were at a meeting. Hence my relegation level prediction of the away component on Saturday.
2025 has been quite an odd year. Huge turnover of players. Four managers in a calendar year (after such a long period with a familiar face in the dugout). Massive financial outlay on training facilities, players & academy. Patchy results.
It will be nice to have a game where there’s no real pressure on the players and we can enjoy being the underdog.
