Pilgrims' Patter

The season starts again in a fortnight so it's time to start up the Prediction League for 2023/4.
For those who haven't played before, it has been all about predicting the results and attendances of Boston United's competitive first team games throughout the season. As the season goes on you accumulate points and the winner is the person with the most points at the end of the season.
There's no entry fee as it's just a bit of fun.
However, Oxo (Mel) is once again generously awarding a memento to the season's winner.
All predictions must be made before kick off - although I'm open to bribes of a pint of Batemans XXXB or Dark Lord to accept predictions that are a few minutes late. ;D
You get 3 points for the correct score or 1 point for the correct result.
For attendance predictions it is 10 points if you get the attendance spot on or 3 points if within 5% or 1 point if within 10%.
Soon after each game I usually managed to process the scores and update the points table and post it on Patter.
You are allowed to edit your prediction right up until kickoff time.
In Cup games with extra time or penalties it's the score at the end of normal time that counts.
If a game is postponed or abandoned then all predictions for that match are null and void.
Just post your predictions in the thread on here for each match.
Here's my prediction for the first game:
Buxton 1-2 Boston United (1111)
There's not much to base it on. With the wholesale team changes over the summer, last season's form isn't going to help much. However here's how the season ended for Buxton and Boston.

Well done everyone. A great turnout for the first predictions of the season and lots of points gained. Here are the standings.
Twelve people got the correct score and a whopping thirty two got the attendance within 5%, with six (birstallpilgrim, doc, Keif062, Oakham Pilgrim, SMELLS LIKE VICTORY and Steviemas) doing both. Both nikko and birstallpilgrim were closest to the attendance, being just three out.
There's hope for us all as last season's winner joshb didn't score any points this time with his prediction of a 2-1 Buxton win with an attendance of 904.
