Apparently yes ? he's corrected himself.
Have to say, the crowd did appear to be very sparse. Considerably less than either of the published figures I reckon. Looks like lots of disgruntled season ticket holders might not have turned up.
No response from Crewe Alex - email, twitter or voicemail asking if they can explain the discrepency.
So I will use the BBC figure as I have said I would do in the past. This from the Morecambe away thread.

I take the BBC site as gospel, but there is nothing on there yet. I'll prepare it with 3865 and a very creditable 328, but not publish until there is a confirmation. Whatever happens there look likely to be a lot of people with double digit scores - if @bluntphil knows better than the announcer then @PJS would be absolutely spot on.
Safe journey to those travelling home.
Actual results to follow soon with 4031 as the official attendance.
First of all - an apology for the delay. Keen readers will know that Crewe twitter gave out a different figure to the BBC.
There is a top fifteen this week, in order to show all those with single and double digit scores and those that were close. So in the end it was a close week for forecasts. Lots of these will be scoring in the season long competition.
Top congratulations to @BlueBoy - Forecaster of the Week with a very creditable score of just five.

4026, with 305 away.
4200 with 400 away
4100 with 423 Chairboys
Sat 13:50:
28 predictions on record:
Average for Total Crowd: 4118
Average for Away Crowd 351
Does look very similar to a Tuesday night home game for us
I was rather hoping that it wouldn't be necessary to relegate anyone - but I will probably have to imagine myself on a beach shortly.
4000 with 400 Chairfolk.
3883 with 383
In Majorca and guess I've missed the deadline but I'd have put 4333 including 333 Chairfolk if I'd not had an travel addled brain!
4031 according to the BBC
4301 with 459 away according to Crewe Twitter account
Who transposed their digits. Crewe I hope!
@ValleyWanderer obviously hopes it’s the BBC!
I have just replied to the Crewe tweet asking them to confirm it is the BBC with the mistake.
Oh, Steve, I was hoping you were ringing the Beeb!
Hopefully the BBC are wrong here!
Hopefully, they aren’t!
Swords clanking.
Never trusted the Beeb myself!?
I quite liked Bebie Daniels Lyon. Life with the Lyons (circa 1954).
Similar to our own announced attendance on Tuesday, there was nowhere near 4000 there today.
That said, given my prediction, 4031 would do very nicely.
Have now emailed both sources with screenshots. I would advise against holding breath on a quick response.
A photo finish?
I like that Crew account
This is how it stands:
@ValleyWanderer got a 4333 in late.
Nothing on Crewe Twitter or in my email inbox yet.
GasMan says 4301. Is he ever wrong? ?
Confirmed official attendance of 4031
I had a prediction of 4100 about 10 mins before the deadline

Apologies for nothing definitive on the attendance at Crewe. I have left a voicemail with the Crewe Alex Press Office.
All the football statistic sites I have checked give 4031 as the attendance
Two examples -

https://www.11v11.com/matches/crewe-alexandra-v-wycombe-wanderers-05-march-2022-374297/
The bbc continue to give 4031 as the attendance.
