The 23,381 attendees against Colchester were the biggest league matches in the Valley Parade for 72 years, with the club at the top of the fourth tier.
The cut price ticket deal has inflated the gates significantly, urging the Bantamus to plan similar things for the crew in the week so adults can monitor the tenors on Saturday.
Alexander said:
“The support is really incredible. A lot of people I've bumped into in the last few days have said, '23,000 WOW!”
“It was a bit of a ripple, I think it helped the Premier League and Championships not playing this week.
“Obviously, they were two good teams. The two form teams in 2025 were really against each other. And you're just for big performances and wins, you'll just want, that's what we offered.
“It was a really good football game, and both sides wanted to play.
Alexander admitted that it would be a joy to come back as staff had clips of today's Debrief before Focus headed to Ashundon the following weekend.
“To be honest, I couldn't wait to see it again,” the city boss added.
“It's not like that, it's just taking out a tactical bit, but it was great to watch.
“Both teams respected each other good, so it was strong about how they approached it and clearly with the extra support we had in the stadium.
“When I got into it, I lost the previous two and maybe there were some question marks from people because Colchester was coming in really good form.
“I think that added a little more power to our players’ minds.
“Maybe the weather was added. I didn't know how wet I was until I got back to the changing room and I was soaked up everything I had!
“Soccer kept me warm. It was one game and three games, but it was a great point for all involved. We look back at it as something special.”
The city is currently switching attention to the ground with the smallest residential attendance rate across the EFL. Accrington currently averages 2,316, compared to Valley Parade's 17,095.
Alexander does not expect the surrounding contrast to affect his side.
“I think players are pretty used to that change, and that's going to be a different scenario from the valley parade, from the basis of League 2 and the majority of the different atmosphere.
“Saturday was a bit special, but I think there are realistic groups, and if possible, I will balance everything.
“We're just looking forward to it now. We always touch on it based on performance, review the game and feed it back to the players.
“But if you do it today, that's it and everything is going to be on Accrington's match.
“We have to keep our feet on the ground. I think that's a really good time for us. When there's a challenge right in front of us, we get up on it.
“There are big challenges every week, but as big as this Saturday.”
