This seems like a long long time ago now, but it is only six days. I think the @Forest_Blue is correct to believe that there were some giveaways to boost that crowd, although the really large away crowd may indicate the attendance of some holidaymakers, perhaps all round the ground.
Anyway collectively we were terrible at predicting this game, The actual crowd of 6832 was more than 50% over our average prediction for the total crowd of 4462! @Will_i_ams was the closest to the actual crowd by a considerable amount. Credit and congratulations are due to @Will_i_ams as the current owner of the title of Forecaster of the Midweek.
This table is just the top fifteen, to show just how far out you can be and finish fifeenth.
We also underestimated the away crowd. Credit and congratulations to @Commoner closest to the number.
The much better Barnsley crowd prediction results are up and posted on that thread and I am working soon on a first update for the season long competition.
Happy predicting. Don't forget to predict for the Charlton game!

4500 with 250 away
4,554 including 280 Chairs.
Could be standing room only.
4343 with 232 Chairboys
4652 with 241 away fans.
Published figure 6,832, incredibly.
Wish we could get that sort of figure for a run of the mill Tuesday night match.
367 Chairboys fans, decent turnout from us. Well done to all!
Did they give a lot of tickets to the schools? Great attendance for a midweek.
It did look a decent crowd, fair play to them.
Those poor 367 chairfolk. Relieved this was a rare one I had to give a miss.
Looked like it to me on ifollow after the 1st goal went in.
