...So you are admitting that you really are only Guessing at cancelations

Point me to the post I have said that JVB. I can assure you I was not guessing. If you cannot understand how I arrived at my figures I am not about to explain it further. The only way they can be inaccurate is if the Clubs availability figures are wrong which seems most unlikely.

JVB you are obviously confused as to what I am doing. It would appear the late availability figures for the weekends are updated in near real time and therefore change as the bookings and cancelations are made. You only have to compare one instance in time with a later one to see whether availability is changing and how. That is what I did noting the differences and recording these in spread sheets from where they could be analysed. The points represent the instances and the "x" axis represents time, in this case over four days, two days before the deadline and two after with that of the 8th March amplified into time slots. The "Y" axis shows the availability. The increase in availability over the 24hrs between the 7th and 8th of 486 pitches for the weekend of 11-13th March is almost certainly due to cancelations before the 72 hour deadline of noon on the 8th.

It's a good job it is raining hard and there is nothing on telle that interest me.

It has rained all day today, it takes all of 5 minutes to create the information for each instance and I already know enough about using spread sheets (google Excel)  to make light work of collating the information.
