What was the attendance yesterday?

[ClaretTony]

Just starting match report and can't find it anywhere

[bfccrazy]

Between 89 and 90,000.

I noticed it didn't appear on the stats graphic on MOTD.

Why the big secret?

[FCBurnley]

Bigger than Rovers v Hull

[Colburn_Claret]

Nothing in the Sun today either....

[ClaretTony]

Neither club have given it, not on BBC nor any other reputable site. The only one I can find is the estimated 53,420.

[randomclaret2]

Yep definite tax dodge. Arab way I'm told.

[Dy1geo]

Apparently you can knock 20,000 of the figure as that’s how many empty seats they have!!

[BB8]

53,356

I don't think it was announced yesterday either over the PA, or via social media (that I could find.)

It wasn't even circulated around the press box, which might explain why it wasn't in the majority of the match reports I'd seen.

I had looked last night, and eventually I found the details on the FA's own website:

http://www.thefa.com/competitions/thefacup/results

(I can't reproduce an exact URL - you need to expand the 3rd Round Proper section, then click on the + next to our match)

There were quite a few less with 10 minutes to go, apparently.
