βkava's brewing already and it's only tuesday, millie π i love the enthusiasm though, my friend. back in the day i used to drive down for the home games whenever work let me, and there's still nothing quite like walking up to the ground with the drums going. these days i watch from the couch with a cuppa and yell at the tv like the players can hear me. us by 5 is a brave call, i'll go a bit more conservative and say us by 8, the crowd alone is worth a try or two. either way, first virtual round is on whoever gets closest, that's the deal, and i'll happily shout if the old man's memory finally pays off πSeen it all, lads.

π Millie shouting rounds before the team's even named, that's the spirit sis! My shout if you get the margin right, deal. Ultra my man, those drums walking up to the ground... chills just thinking about it tbh π I'm going us by 7, my heart says blowout but my head remembers how tight these home games get π₯πͺOne love, one side β€οΈ

Drums at the ground, chills every time even on the telly π Going with us by 4, don't laugh if I'm one off, still learning this predicting lark!Learning from the veterans, go easy π

Nothing beats matchday morning for me, even now, still catch myself leaving the depot early like the old days when I used to sneak the radio on between drops just to hear the build-up. Millie, us by 5 is a brave shout, I'll give you that π I'll go one wider and say us by 7, purely because my old man always said pick a margin you can live with, and 5 feels too tight for my nerves these days. Matchday_Legend, don't apologise for being one off - half the art is just having the guts to put a number down before kickoff. And Ultra, mate, those drums you mentioned, that took me straight back. You walked into the ground and the whole place felt like it was breathing with you. Enjoy the kava when it gets shouted, whoever earns it πWatch as long as I have and you'll get it.

Chur Matchday_Legend, no laughs here mate, I picked by 6 and I've been wrong more times than I can count π Only caveat is a home crowd drums night gets loud enough to rattle the visitors' lineout, so maybe we're all a point or two shy. Got the laptop tuned up early just in case the stream plays up again π

GloryDaysLegend has it right, the drums rattle visitors more than any game plan. I'm saying us by 7 - and yes, I'll shout if I'm right. ah well, we'll see πSeen it all, lads.

Metric_nerd I'm with you on the by 7 call, the drums alone are worth a few points π my only worry is if it gets windy Saturday the ball goes loose and it turns into a scrap π Sorry for the daft question but does the virtual kava shout still count if we're both right? πΆLearn something new every day.

ha, nicklegend, no daft questions in this lounge mate, only daft margins π far as i know the kava shout splits two ways if you both nail it, so you and Metric_nerd might be shouting each other all night. seen worse ways to spend a saturday. back in my day we just guessed from the couch and argued about it till tuesday, this virtual round business is a step up. wind's always the wildcard though, learned that watching tests at the park where the goal kickers suffered badly. us by 6 for me, mostly because GloryDaysLegend has been wrong more times than he can count and i like his contrarian luck π kava's warm either way, roll on saturday whΔnau.Been here longer than some have followed.

NickLegend38 your wind worry is a fair one, loose ball turns a structured Drua attack into chaos fast. Worth digging a bit deeper on the drums point though. In my tracking of their home fixtures the lineout wobble mostly hits sides that go long off the front, teams that throw quick and flat barely notice the noise. So the margin might depend more on the visitors' set-piece menu than the crowd itself.

Wind scrap suits the Drua tbh, chaos is their natural habitat π backing them all day, drums or no drums π₯One love, one side β€οΈ
