    Have to wait for opposing teams to announce attendance as we never do. Perhaps new SM will

    If that’s even remotely accurate it’s pretty impressive, even allowing for a full JS stand.

    Remembered while at the game today, that we gave Brighton the upper west for the cup game.

    Whatever the official attendance or the unofficial attendance, that was the busiest I've seen the Valley since the Brighton game and probably the most positive atmosphere around the ground for a good while.

    Definitely the busiest non-discounted league match for yonks.

    Correct - busiest I have seen it around the ground for a long long time when I got off train at Charlton at circa 1.10 - walked to the Oak, and it was packed out - if we get some traction and look like contenders, then it’s going to get even busier - hopefully

    Don’t know, probably around 16k. East felt no real busier out back than normal (thank god as only had 4 turnstiles working). 

    Streets and area felt noticeably busier though, was a much better buzz around the place than for a long time, really encouraging. Around the station at 1.15 felt like 2.30 last season. Hope everyone comes back regularly, fans have a huge part to play in getting us back.

    good numbers and  much more than I expected, I reckon 16k in there … 12.5-13k home fans, which is brilliant after years of shitness 
    Near halfway line didn’t think either team had much vocal support 
    after the initial start with some noise , then late on there was some as you’d expect with them chasing it and us cheering on for a victory

    No way there was 9k empty seats acc to your calculations

    There was definitely far more in the ground than i expected . Not sure why some people are saying there was 14k in the ground because that's obviously nonsense. I'd say around 17k at least

    West 4K
    East 2.5K
    North 7K (difficult to tell when you're in it)
    South 3K
    16.5K announced as 18.5K
    Whatever it was, it was a great attendance.

    Probably only Portsmouth/Derby out of the 22 teams who will fill the Jimmy Seed. Hopefully, by the time we play them in February we will be able to get past the 20k mark.

    We’re all guessing, so who knows what it was. @Airman Brown knows more about this than most and I’m fairly confident he would say that people always think the actual attendance is more than it actually is.

    Turnstile count was just over 16k

    Thought so.
    Bloody excellent when most games last season possibly had a count of half that.

    Got talking to a bloke in the Valley Cafe before the match and he was a Leyton Orient season ticket holder from Dumfries.
    Goes to all their matches. Proper quality supporter I thought.

    That feels about right. There would have been 7-8,000 unused seats in the side stands, 1,500 in the quads, 1,000 in the Covered End and hundreds in the JS.

    Better than I’d have predicted, to be fair.

    If travelling from Dumfries that could be a very large carbon footprint, unless he's offsetting somehow. Did he mention whether he travelled by train or other mode?

    Without discrediting him as this is a monumental effort by the fella, on a Saturday you can do it comfortably in  a day by train.
    A fair wedge though.

    Bolton potentially could as i expect them to have a good season and be well followed. They had just over 20k yesterday.
    Barnsley perhaps if they're going for promotion as we play them late in the season and it could be a big game.
    Only other maybe is Oxford on new year's day if they're going well. If they're not then no chance.

     I believe it was definitely close to the suggested attendance.
