Food Count v Millwall 21 Feb

BigF · Post by **BigF** » Sun Feb 19, 2023 3:01 pm

If no-one wishes to take up the count for this week's Millwall game then I will offer this. I would hate to see the competition disrupted. (If anyone has planned to do a count please let me know).

Opies mini Gherkins in vinegar, 227g. The usual points are for number of Gherkins and amount of vinegar, (ml). Count closes at 6pm on Tuesday.

The clever money seems to be going 18 gherkins, so I’ll go
19 gherkins
115 ml vinegar.

Fingers crossed for Tuesday night. UTC!

Oppycat · Post by **Oppycat** » Mon Feb 20, 2023 11:22 pm

Thanks for counting but it’s all over -14 gherkins, 111ml of pickle water. Close the thread

Bump
The small turnout on Saturday nearly cost us.The present poor response for our twelfth thirteenth and fourteenth "man" will end in disaster tonight if counters dont turn up today. Only 12 cannot guarantee a result we need at least another 10 ideally 18

Over to Saturdays Tin/Jar and another 3 points

Cheers again BigF cracking Gherkin count

BigF · Post by **BigF** » Tue Feb 21, 2023 6:51 pm

I suppose that I now need to eat the gherkins to stop them going to waste. Hmmmmm...........

Eloise Laws · Post by **Eloise Laws** » Tue Feb 21, 2023 7:07 pm

I don’t mind sharing top spot! My guesstimates have been way off lately it would appear…..and I have done a few counts to allow others to catch up

Thanks for tonight’s count BigF….I would have no problem helping out to eat the gherkins

Here’s to a good game, and 3 points coming home to where it really matters

A hard fought point for the clarets tonight

I’ll initiate the thread for the Huddersfield count tomorrow p.m.

I tried 2 or 3 of the gherkins Eloise and they were crunchy and not too bad. You are more than welcome to share them if you wish.

The wife chops them up into little bits and adds them to home made potato salad

It's worth a try.

Thanks for doing the league table. I might get a chance to increase my total with the next count.
