Good day fellow counters. For your consideration I present two packs of blueberries which have been clearly marked as pack A and pack B. I am intrigued as to how many Blueberries might be in each pack so I would like to invite you to estimate this. I would also like to know how many Blueberries there are in total across the two packs, this does not need to match the total of your guesses so I will not be checking any arithmetic. Please present your guesses thus :-

Pack A -
Pack B -
Total -

You have until 1pm on Saturday to register your guess and the results will be published shortly thereafter.

10 points for a correct guess or 5 points for nearest. So up to 30 points available per counter.

I hope we smash the whinging scousers. Up the Mighty Clarets, come what may.

[StayingDown4Ever]

Pack A - 115
Pack B - 116
Total - 231

Will they not be going manky by Saturday!?

[Bosscat]

Pack A = 375
Pack B = 345

Total = 720

Popped in the freezer until ready to count. Not washed them yet so they won’t stick together.

Thank you. 268 is good

Another week and another highly questionable selection. It's a tinned food count so I can't help but wonder how much of a negative impact these efforts are having. A shame really as clearly the effort and commitment is there from the willing volunteers and our counting squad.

I will not be submitting any estimates here but hope for a return to traditions and to be contributing with my own count again soon.

We have volunteers up to and including Brentford on the 16th March but if you would like to volunteer for a subsequent fixture your input would be very welcome. The counting gods certainly smiled on us last time you did the counting. Which game were you thinking of volunteering for ?

The food count lost its appeal when that Pirate guy called time on it,imposters running it now.

[CharlieinNewMexico]

Blimey!

I’m going with
Pack A : 75
Pack B : 70
Total : 145

You joined this board in 2023 ... yet are referencing The Admiral who hasn't been involved for 3 or 4 years and call us who take part/run it imposters ...

Yet nobody complained about various food stuffs last season when we were champions

[tarkys_ears]

Oh dear, now the no-lifers are trying to have a go at the food count.

This board never fails to entertain/impress/confuse/surprise.

**** em, carry on!

[Claretmisterg]

It’s like little children who call names from afar then run away knowing you can’t catch them.

Not having a go at all. Just trying to gently cajole us back to the tinned food counting traditions which once seemed to serve us so well. The main tradition being a tongue wedged firmly in cheek.

You should try and not take things too seriously, particularly if opening a thread on counting food stuffs. Keep this one close to your chest, but most of us don't really believe that this folly directly dictates towards our fortunes on the pitch.

No lifers indeed...

I don't think it was you WNP he meant ... the food count would have died out if we hadn't resurrected it ... Cmg has taken the reins this season as I did last doing around 15 out of 40 odd counts ...

I take my food counting very seriously...

I'll be delighted to reach for the counting apparatus again.

Not knowing if I'll be attending games until the week of the game (and travelling from afar) means it's hard to commit so far in advance.

Chelsea away 30th March is where I could be a fairly safe bet and should afford me just enough time to source a suitable commodity.

Not having a go at you wnp, you are a valued contributor to the counting pantheon and as such your opinions, however radical, are always welcome. To others I would say “non-players off the green”.

[Jjjack]

150 for each please. 300 overall.

Thanks!

You were a disgrace to the count the other day posting it late.

[Claretmisterg]

I hope all the bad vibes spilling over onto the food count don’t have too much of a detrimental effect on this afternoon’s sporting contest. Still over an hour to post last minute entries and build up the feel good factor.

Cmg You are top with your points for doing the count ...

I will sacrifice my points as an offering to appease the counting gods in the hope of getting something out of the game this afternoon. Straw clutching, I know.
