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

Why the big secret?

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

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

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. :D
