Pilgrims' Patter

Only three days until the first "competitive" match in the season - the Lincs Senior Cup quarter final at Lincoln United on Tuesday evening, so it must be time to start up the Pilgrims' Patter Prediction League for 2017/18.
There have been a few suggestions for changes but it would be quite a lot of hassle 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 5% or 1 point if within 10%.
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 start things off here's my prediction for the Lincs Senior Cup game:
Lincoln United 1-3 Boston United (130)
-
Lincoln 2 Boston 4 (179)
-
lincoln 1 v pilgrims 3 att 168
-
1-4 236
-
Lincoln 0 Boston 3 (148)
-
Lincoln United 2 Boston United 3
Attendance 234

Here are the standings after:
Lincoln United 0-1 Boston United (140)
Rather surprisingly nobody predicted the correct score. dt woodhall got closest to the actual attendance being just 1 out.
There was one very slightly late prediction, but as it was the first one of the season and it only picked up 1 point I'll let it go this time, but try to be on time in the future.
