Sorry for the delay in posting the results folks but Burton don't seem to publish the number of away fans and a trawl of the Internet didn't help either. Everyone apart from me guessed that we would not provide more than 25% of the gate and so based on what I've been told by those who went (i.e. there were about 300 Oxford fans which is only 10% of the overall gate) - I've given you all a point. It doesn't affect the result anyway.

Hog - 4
Old Abingdonian, Geoff - 5
Me, Hoglette, Joepoolman - 6

I take it on the tiebreak being one goal out.

Anyone got any fresh ideas for the next Boot? I'm running out of inspiration :)

Apologies if I'm mistaken but by my reckoning the only questions I got wrong were 4, 5 and 6, which would leave me with 7 correct answers...
