Presumably to make sure everyone who turns up on the day will get in in case it turns out we can win the title there.

Bought mine the other day, I think it was 900 allocation

900 – always think it puts people off if you cant just decide on the morning, turn up and pay on the gate.

I think their away stand holds more - I suspect we'll get another lot if that 900 gets close to selling out.

Is it 1 or 2 tiers there?

Single tier behind goal,

Away fans are mostly located at one end of the ground in the Dreams Stand, where just over 2,000 supporters can be accommodated. For teams with a larger following then 350 seats are also made available in the Main Stand, increasing the total allocation to 2,350.

I personally had an enjoyable day at Wycombe. The club has a relaxed friendly feel about it. The ground is situated in a nice setting with a wooded hill over looking the ground (this normally has a small contingent of supporters watching the game for nothing) and with green fields surrounding the other sides. The standard football ground fayre of Cheeseburgers (£3), Hot Dogs (£3), Double Cheeseburgers (£4.50), Phat's Chicken Balti Pie (£3) and Pasties (Cheese or Cornish £3), Sausage Rolls (£2.70) and Chips (£2), are available from the refreshment kiosk.

David Abbott a visiting Northampton Town supporter informs me; 'I have to say what an excellent ground Adams Park is. Good signposting around the ground, good organisation, good atmosphere, excellent view from the away end  and friendly fans. It was a very pleasant visit and if all grounds and supporters were as welcoming and well-behaved as Wycombe the game would be all the better for it'.

Toby Hillier a visiting Brentford fan adds; 'The ground is absolutely splendid and set in wonderful surroundings. Although the atmosphere was pretty flat on my visit, the beating of a drum in the home end often rallied the home fans behind the team. The home fans are a friendly bunch and all of the staff that we encountered were also very friendly. You can park at the ground itself, however it is a nightmare trying to get out at the end of the game. It took us 50 minutes to do the 2 miles back to the motorway. My suggestion would be to park a mile or so away from the ground and walk. This should provide you with a quicker route away from the game'.

Mike Jordan a visiting Torquay United fan tells me; 'I found the home fans, stewards and staff of Wycombe to be friendly & welcoming towards away supporters. Also, for visitors interested in wildlife, at half time or during dull moments, look out for Red Kites drifting over the ground!'

Well, if you can't get a ticket, just go and watch on the hill. :laugh:

As with most clubs, if you live away from Doncaster you can potentially get in the home stands as a neutral?

From our site and the seating plan it looks like we've only sold about 400 so there's plenty of availability.

or buy a ticket from Rovers and ask to pick it up at Wycombe on the day if you're not at the KM beforehand - they'll send 'em down for collection, or stick 'em in the post to you at home in good time...

Reads like a brochure for a holiday the above. The ground's in an industrial estate, albeit a rather up market one but then it is Wycombe. Parking's a beast and their only claim to fame is that smug bloke who used to be on BBC breakfast and kept bees. Bet he never slept on a station platform following the chairboys lol

I live near the Wycombe ground and can recommend the White Horse pub, on the A40 West Wycombe Road between the town centre and the ground. Strippers from lunchtime (£1 in a pot) and they say that they're the away fans pub. (No charge to get in) If the weather's good park there and walk to the ground  (25 - 30 minutes) otherwise taxi.
