• Burnley v Brentford tinned food count

Posted: **Mon Oct 25, 2021 1:16 pm**

We need a change of luck,I know Redbeard is the "King of the tinned food count" and a I certainly don't want to take his place,but if the tinned food counting posters on here are having withdrawal symptoms and our club need a change of luck...I will do one for this game if we have posters who will except someone other than Redbeard to run it
Should I do one? Thoughts please.

Go for it fella!

Great offer, Steve1956! Cheers & God speed.

Joooosay!

Posted: **Mon Oct 25, 2021 1:44 pm**

Go for it. This coupled with the fact I won't be there on Saturday should see us good.

Posted: **Mon Oct 25, 2021 1:47 pm**

Go for it, do redbeard proud! He might not administer the count, but maybe he’ll play along. Let’s have something red!!!

That sounds great, thank you Steve

Give it the "Beans" Steve just don't "pea" anyone off ... sorry for the "corn"y puns

Go for it

No worries guys I'll give it a go
Can someone tell me when I should start it looking back at old TFC it looks like they started on a Friday before a Saturday game,giving a short period to get your estimates in is that right?
Would like to keep it true to the old format, or if someone has the rules for it or know of a thread with the rules on can you point me in the right directionI hope we can get other volunteers to run it as we go along
I think it's worth a try and if the TFC gives us 3 points on Saturday against Brentford even once will be worth it.

)

I knew I could rely on you for help,and I knew you would remember the olive affair,the wife just said do they really take this seriously and I mentioned I was accused of eating an olive on one particular count I did ...she shook her head and buggered off into the kitchen.

Hi Steve,

generally all entries should be received by 2 hours before kick-off and there should be at least 24 hours for participants

...so details should be posted by 13:00pm Friday 29th October - I think!

Unless you want to do a practice using the Spurs game - then entries would be from 17:45 Tues 26th - 17:45 Wed 27th

good luck...and I hope Redbeard participates - he didn't get many opportunities previously as he was officiating so often.

Welcome back Tinned Food Count!

"Guess the gate" has become "Guess whether the clubs going to release the attendance or not"

I'll give this a go if you're running it for the Brentford game Steve.

Posted: **Mon Oct 25, 2021 11:08 pm**

Seems like there is some interest in resurrecting this old Claretsmad tradition I won't try to emulate Red or anything like that I hope all the old counters will give it a go,things will be a tad less strict than Redbeards rules,
I'll post the thread a few days before a game
5 points for correct Beanage
3 points for correct Juiceage
If posters forecast the same I'll just award full points to each poster...no half points
Any suggestions on how to run it will be greatly welcomed and we can make it up as we all go along
Let's hope TFC gets our season back on track,looking back at old threads of the TFC it was mentioned on one thread there was only about ten posters estimating when it first started but it built and built let's see what happens eh?
And maybe we can have some fun along the way and some better results.

The problem will come when it needs to be shared around who's doing it,so if I do the Brentford game then you do the next one Chelsea?

....and take it from there we can only try

Posted: **Mon Oct 25, 2021 11:31 pm**

I did it a few times Steve, almost thought about doing it at the weekend too.

Don't be worried about your first time, the captain will help along with the officiating.

Just start it 25 hours before the kickoff and end it an hour before. Take a few pics and do some counting, you'll be reet!

I've done it a few times last season TE I did a FAO of Redbeard asking him about doing it for the coming season,there was no appetite for it from anyone so Redbeard unfortunately kicked it into touch,I asked him again last week to try again he was adamant he was finished with it and wouldn't change his mind

Posted: **Tue Oct 26, 2021 8:35 am**

Please let’s not do beans or garbanzos or whatever it was 32 times in a row last year.

For the hundredth time, Steve, they are NOT my rules, but those of the WTFCA and BTFCA.
They allow for 24 hours' Estimating - no more - as Tarky's and Claretblue have reminded you.
Any deviation from this risks alienation of the Ethereal Powers and therefore complete disaster.

I suspect however that your idea of awarding full points rather than sharing them out for multiple winners will be acceptable to the CA. I can contact our local rep Carrots123 today and forward his response later on if you like.

Regarding earlier posts on this thread, btw, it's ship, not 'boat', if you don't mind.

Actually you're mistaken on two things here, CB.

It's 24 hours maximum in fact.
