CTFC vs Leyton Orient Sat 15th February 2020
Well a cheerful and elated squad on the long and tedious journey back from the Northern hinterlands shortly to be joined by a new ultra fast and horrendously expensive white elephant project in a decade or so's time [...never if our own A417 is anything to go by!) to the favoured South East. I digress, congrats to the team for the win; hopefully that will continue Saturday at home against the Orient.
I'll go for a 2-1 win with May to score first.
5/5/5=15

I had this match as a firm home win but then checked current form and saw that Orient are a point to the better:
4th L Orient 11 pts,
7th Cheltenham 10 pts.
So checked home & away form which did confirm my original thought:
[home] 9th Cheltenham 11 pts
[away] 11th Orient 7 pts but that included away win at Stevenage.
My forecast: Cheltenham 2-0 Orient, May to score
5/5/0-10

Not part of this competition but I did check and read average attendance is 3439 and this year in 2020 has been fairly consistent between 3029 to 3868.RegencyCheltenhamSpa wrote: How about attendances?
Weather is expected to be bad on Saturday which might deter some but Cheltenham are on a good run that will attract others.
My guess would be 3567.
What's yours?

Not so, not so at all.
Everybody could see the elephant trap that you were digging, so I carefully avoided it.
Actually I'm well pleased with that attendance forecast. On other prediction competitions it would have won me a few points.

BTW I am currently joint top scorer on this competition and set ready to reclaim my title that you won last season in my absence.
