These boots are made for Woking

Predictions as they were meant to be. Or not. Whatever.

Well, except that ...

Hey folks, apparently the place to have a beer is the Crown and Anchor on Old Woking High Street ... a relatively straightforward walk to the ground. Don't forget to wear your colours ...

First question: Total Crowd. Anyone within 15% stays in. Anyone more than 15% out is eliminated.

Then cascade.

Result.
Goals scored by Grebis.
Goals scored by Woking.
Goals scored by Oxford.

Tie breaker: How many Oxford Shirts do I see in the pub I go in before the match?

I make that no one's Boot. Baboo was the only one who predicted an Oxford defeat (was it that much of a surprise? evidently so), but he wasn't within 15% of the attendance, so he's eliminated immediately anyway. The only person who predicted 0 goals for Grebis, one for Woking, and none for Oxford, was DLT, but as it's a cascade he's presumably eliminated by virtue of predicting a draw as the result? Otherwise it's his Boot, not that he deserves it after taking the piss out of me queueing for an hour in my unsuccessful attempt to buy a veggie burger at that tinpot shithole we were at last night.

We have to get promotion - I never want to have to go back to Woking ever again (except as a possible pre-season friendly venue).

DLTs prediction doesn't make sense as he predicted a draw, but Woking scoring more goals than Oxford!!

Yeah, I thought it was DLT's ... on the grounds that if everyone qualifying fails a category, then you move onto the next one? Fitting that the boot should be awarded for inconsistency!!

Or a deliberate ploy to improve his chances of winning :lol:

Like AC, I assume that once the first eliminator had neen passed, where everyone failed a question, the cascade moves on to the next question.

DLT's boot.

Baboo missses out by being eliminated by 37 spectators.

The cascade does not contain elimination rounds so DLT wins when you get to the goals for Oxford.

BTW - there were 5 shirts including mine and Hogs in the Kingfield Arms.
