Pilgrims' Patter

It's August so it must be time to start up the Pilgrims' Patter Prediction League.
There have been a few suggestions for changes but I'm a lazy b***** and don't want the hassle of rewriting my spreadsheet that does the sums or collecting entry fees etc. So it's easiest to keep it the same as previously.
For those who haven't played before, it's all about predicting the results and attendances of Boston United's 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 and no prizes apart from the honour of being the winner. It's just a bit of fun! (Though I'll probably pester everyone to sponsor me in some running event in appreciation for me doing all the updating)
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. 8)
You get 3 points for the correct score or 1 point for the correct result.
You get 10 points if you get the attendance spot on or 3 points if within 30 or 1 point if within 60.
Soon after each game I usually manage to process the scores and update the points table and post it on Patter.
Don't forget to predict BOTH a score and an attendance.
You can edit your prediction right up until kickoff time.
In Cup games with extra time 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.
So to kick things off here's my prediction for the opening match - the Lincs Senior Cup semi-final against our noisy neighbours:
Boston United 2-1 Gainsborough Trinity (603)

Seems I was a little generous predicting a goal for Boston..and I got it wrong about Mark getting the winning goal but I suppose they all count.
And oxo you got the kicking bit the wrong way round..I mean he did kick it in the boston net..anyway Ken that must put a tinpot supporter just about top of your prediction league or dosen't it count as it's only a tinpot game? ;)
We're skint but we can still beat tinpot Boston.

Here's the table after the opening game of the season. Not many points scored as Boston fans tend to predict Boston wins. Well done to Pilgrim21 who got the attendance spot on.
