After a great win today spurred on by us food counters I am setting up the FA cup round. Keeping it regular for us counters it's a big bag of prunes.
500g Aldi bag.

The count and points are as follows.
Number of Prunes
Weight of empty bag in grams
The time stamp on the bag when it went through quality control. This is a time between 13:00 and 13:59

10 points each for correct number of prunes, weight and time stamp.
5 points for nearest if no exact answer.

Up The Clarets. NNN

71 Prunes ...
15g bag ...

Don't eat them all at once

Cheers Longsider

Bump.

Come on you food counters. Let's get this cup run underway

BRILLIANT idea with the time stamp Longsider, it's like trying to guess the first number out of a lottery draw with an extra ball. If I guess it correctly I will be using them as a couple of my numbers for a few week.

The bag is open. The count is closed.

Dawlish has smashed it and got the exact number of prunes. 89 prunes. 10 points to Dawlish. There will be dancing tonight on the beaches of south Devon.

BigF just one gram of the exact bag weight of 10g and picks up 5 points.

And despite Croydon Claret thinking he didn't have a clue, he was closest to the time stamp and picks up 5 points.

Thanks Longsider. Yep I will be on the beach tonight celebrating!

Well done to all you Claret Counters. Hopefully all our efforts will kick start a cup run.
If someone can update the Count League Table.

Come on Yooooooooou Clarets.

Up the points

Cheers

Dawlish is still on the toilet celebrating

Congratulations to our points scorers.
Dawlishclaret continues to steam ahead now over 40 points clear in first place on 184 points, surely only a matter of time before the 200 point barrier is smashed.
5 points sees BigF increase his tally to 143 points, now in joint 2nd, and Croydon Claret move up to 8th place now on 97 points.
Thanks again to Longsider for an excellent count, here’s hoping you do another 5 cup counts to see us all the way to Wembley.
Thanks to all you counters. With the combination of this count and the return of Ash the Bash the mighty clarets will surely be hyper motivated and absolutely roger the Royals.
Up the Mighty Clarets, come what may.
