Just using a bit of poetic licence, instead of the best away game, how about the ''best'' in terms of sheer terror? I went on the Supporters Club coaches to Millwall in the mid-'70s. Everything went well until we reached the New Kent Road, when lots of people who were drinking on the side of the road would smash their beer glass and show us the jagged edges as we passed by. I was definitely a little on edge. When we were dropped off we made our way down Cold Blow Lane towards the stadium, and people were coming out of houses to confront the Rovers supporters. I particularly remember an elderly man kicking a Rovers supporter wearing his slippers. We eventually made it to the ground and took our seat in the stands, opposite us was a ship sailing up what must have been a canal. It really was surreal. The Millwall fans made a hell of a fuss throughout the game (Knees Up Mother Brown, and Maybe It's Because I'm A Londoner and all the other London songs) until the Rovers scored. 0-1 was not the ''right'' score, and foolishly we all celebrated the goal. Bad error on our part, and the Millwall fans let us all know all about it. The stand that we were sitting in was a wooden stand similar to the South Stand at Eastville, and very soon small fires started appearing and fans were trying to climb from the terraces into the stand. The police were doing their best, but I really was getting concerned. Thank goodness Millwall eventually scored, and in time the game ended. The game passed by in a haze, and I was relieved when it was all over. Outside of the ground some Millwall supporters were physically trying to ''tip'' a police horse over, and very nearly succeeded as well, by using brute force and marbles. The whole game was an absolute nightmare from start to finish, and it's the only game that I have ever attended that I have been relieved to get out alive. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to compare some scenes to a war zone. I've been to all the ''big'' grounds, but I've never witnessed scenes like I did that day. I heard later that some Millwall fans had followed some Rovers supporters as far as Paddington, with obvious results.

Could turn into a proper legal battle "royale". Wycombe's solicitors are Farrer and Co who also act for the RFU, Man City, Arsenal and Spurs and also happen to be the private solicitors to Her Majesty. Do you really think that Wycombe would be able to find the funds to pay Farrer's to defend them. I cant imagine that Farrers would let them run up an account when they have no money. All the other names you mention have money Maybe someone more to lose than Wycombe are funding this to protect themselves seems like this could be a domino effect with everyone looking after themselves someone who has a Skelton in their cupboard could be very nervous

What is it with or board and cosying up to the local tories? First that Charlotte Leslie and now Sajid Javid guy, just seen some report on the local news, just another example of how they are alienating their working class fanbase, explains why there out of touch they are in terms of prices and selling overpriced s***. BOD gone down even further in my estimation. The owners of our club are all multi millionaires who have no interest in working class people other than exploiting them they are without exception all Tory supporters most likely members of the illumanati .the days of football being the opera of the masses have long gone it's all about money and the whole of football is rotten to the core

It's interesting that you say that Henbury. Last season the Indonesian Oil company owner Rubb Minutts hired out an executive box for the last two home games. Word at the time is that they were there to give a hand. What does that even mean though? Would that not be a conflict of interest an oil company taking over the gas
