Well done to the 119 that travelled for that shit.
Wish I hadn't...
Greg, in the OP you said:
"Please place your away attendance predictions for the Oldham game by
2PM TUESDAY 13TH FEBRUARY"
Then on Monday lunchtime you said:
"Keep those guesses coming before
midday tomorrow."
Walsall away cutoff was
12PM.
Northampton away cutoff was
12PM.Scunthorpe away cutoff was
12PM.Oxford away cutoff was
12PM.Rotherham away cutoff was
12PM.Doncaster away cutoff was
12PM.All
12PM, as normal.
What was the intended cutoff for Oldham -
12PM as normal (just missed typing the 1 from 12PM to leave 2PM?), or was it really intended as
2PM for some reason?
Then there's the question of the significant flurry of prediction & edits after
12PM yesterday:

Inside info?
The coaches departed Stadium MK at 2pm yesterday...
There were also 2 predictions / edits outside the cutoff, even if it was intended to be
2PM:

Whatever the reason behind all those, shouldn't the cut-off always be
12pm or 2 hours before the coaches depart, whichever is earlier, to avoid a similar flurry of edits attempting to so significantly affect the results, occurring again in future?
The rules say:
"As before, predictions must be made by
midnight the night before the game."
"Please keep your predictions to one post - if you wish to change, please
edit your original post (before the deadline).
I'm putting this request for clarification, and your adjudication onto the forum for all to see & discuss openly, unlike the cowardly actions of some others on a different occasion with another competition on here...
Many thanks for looking into all this, clarifying the intended cutoff and/or reason for the exceptionally late Oldham game cutoff if intentional, clarifying/modifying the cutoff in the Rules to at least ensure consistency from this point onwards, and clarifying your conclusion & adjudication for the Oldham game predictions, for the benefit of everyone involved.
