FAO Foodcounters 2025-26

[Claretmisterg]

The new season is nigh and our intrepid SuperClarets are going to need all the help they can get from their loyal fan base in the unforgiving competition that is the Premier League. To this end I propose we continue investigating the contents of various food containers, as we have done in previous seasons, thus invoking the support of the food counting gods in achieving results on the field of play. If others are willing to participate again this season by volunteering for counts then I am happy to co-ordinate and maintain a list of scores achieved. Below are the first batch of games requiring volunteer counters :-

Sat 16/08 Spurs (a) -
Sat 23/08 Sunderland (h) -
Sat 30/08 Man U (a) - claretmisterg
Sun 14/09 Liverpool (h) -
Sat 20/09 Forest (h) -
Sat 27/09 Man C (a) -
Sat 04/10 Villa (a) -

I've put myself down for the Man U game but will happily do another one if anybody particularly wants to do the count for that game.

Come on you counters and COME ON YOU CLARETS.

[Bosscat]

I will do Spuds away

[Croydon Claret]

I'll do Liverpool on 14/09

Can I make a proposal/suggestion - points for doing a food count be increased to 5? Perhaps with a max limit on how many counts you can do in a season, to prevent volunteering for every game

[Zooniverser]

None of these work for me due to holidays or work commitments but I’ll happily do DL on 18th October if you want to extend the list.

[Dawlishclaret]

I can do Sunderland 23/08.

[Dawlishclaret]

Thanks for doing this again Claretmisterg.

[jdrobbo]

I’ll do Forest

[tarkys_ears]

I'll do city

[Eloise Laws]

I shall complete the first set and do Villa on the 4/10

[Claretmisterg]

Thanks to all the volunteers so far we have the following counters confirmed :-

Sat 16/08 Spurs (a) - Bosscat
Sat 23/08 Sunderland (h) - Dawlishclaret
Sat 30/08 Man U (a) - claretmisterg
Sun 14/09 Liverpool (h) - Croydon Claret
Sat 20/09 Forest (h) - jdrobbo
Sat 27/09 Man C (a) - tarkys_ears
Sat 04/10 Villa (a) - Eloise Laws
Sat 18/10 Leeds (h) - Zooniverser

I'll post for more volunteers after the Forest game, hopefully we'll have a few points on the board by then, but if anybody wants to volunteer for upcoming games beyond this list then just let me know and I'll add you in. I hope we have a successful and entertaining season but I doubt if we'll match the test series against India for drama (unless we have a player with only one good leg taking the decisive penalty in a shoot out to win the FA cup Final).

Up the mighty clarets, come what may.

[Bullabill]

[Claretmisterg]

Please can we have counting volunteers for the upcoming Liverpool, Cardiff and Arsenal games. New counters welcome.

[tarkys_ears]

Ill get up Lpool

[Croydon Claret]

I can do Arsenal

[BigF]

I could do the Cardiff cup game but....I work at Turf Moor and have to be there over 4 hours before kick-off and so that would mean either an early count or a very late count, (ie a couple of hours after the match finishes). Is this of any help?

We've had early counts before ... as long as folk know about it ...

[BigF]

So - asking Claretmisterg - would you like me to do the Cardiff cup game or wait to see if anyone else offers? (Considering my counting parameters )?

[BigF]

Any comments??

[Dawlishclaret]

Hi BigF and Claretmisterg, I could do the Cardiff game if it helps?

[BigF]

Hi Dawlish
That's fine with me and saves my time etc. Please go ahead and do the Cardiff game - I'll wait until a future away game.
Thanks

[Dawlishclaret]

Hi BigF. Glad to be able to help.
