Stickied League One Away Support Thread 2023/24

First time to Wycombe next week. Any pubs likely to be open before the game for away fans?

Been a while since I have been, and the last time we won promotion there (well it was all but done baring Cheltenham winning 28-0) so they laid on a massive gazeebo with beer etc for us with us having a huge following but when I have been prior to that I am sure I went drinking in the town and they had a shuttle bus in place. Recall having a great time with their fans before, good bunch they were but this was about 2009!

Very picturesque ground but right on the edge of town.

Reading have been banned from bringing inflatables tomorrow. Total killjoys we are.

Apple doesn't fall far from the tree in terms of your chairman and his daughter who is our CEO. We do love a good killjoy.

She was hardly a barrel of laughs when she was at our place. Wouldn’t appear on your documentary either.

There's some half decent food stalls on the way into the ground and a scaled back fan zone/beer tent now the egg chasers have gone.

But we have always had a warm welcome and decent beer (less certain for food) at the Hour Glass - nearest thing to a Northern pub south of the M40 that I've seen, even with the new owners. Ham and Cheese cobs behind the bar for £2 and even a Meat Raffle. If you're lucky, they sometimes have a food van (Mexican last time we struck lucky) outside the pub on match days.

Would be excellent if you took her back!

I've heard rumours that could happen.

No thanks. We have her dad who is pissing the fanbase off ( bar the few that will not have anything said against him ). So please keep her with you…

For the first time since our brief sojourn in the Natty we’ve actually reduced the away allocation today. Understandable as I doubt many Fleetwood fans want to come and watch themselves get relegated, and there aren’t exactly many in the first place.

133 Cods. Good on ‘em.

It was a sell-out at Cheltenham, which I think I read as 1,055.

Couldn't see anything sadly. Assuming they sold out so went for 1300

Slightly off topic, someone has posted this on our board. It relates to games in the old Div 4 (now L2) in 1986. Just look at the attendances, 6 teams had less than 2000 (Wrexham only just into four figures), 4 with less than 3000,though bizarrely Mansfield had 8000, presumably a promotion party.

Just goes to show how far we have come since those days.

Trouble was rife
Used get taken 3 or 4 a season when my dad decided that the opposition wouldn't cause trouble
