other possibilities would be Notts County 1997, Shrewsbury 1994 and Kettering 1992

I seem to remember taking a load to Peterborough in Martin O'Neill's last season as well

Maybe I just tend to overestimate the number of away fans

Is Sheff W All ticket for us then? (nm) — LDF, Tue Apr 24 19:51
- I think it is extremely unlikely we will be able — Benny, Tue Apr 24 20:11
  
  to buy tickets on the day. NB: this is just my opinion, it's not fact.
- - certainly will be all tickets, due to Sheff Utd fans wanting — True Blue, Tue Apr 24 21:59
    
    to get in the away end with us
  - - not going to be many — Anonymous, Tue Apr 24 22:27
      
      to fit in the expected big home crowd, we have been allocated the horrible uncovered corner of the ground - not behind goal. I'm guessing it holds no more than 1000. Poor atmosphere and view and we... more
    - - where have we heard this from? (nm) — bluey, Wed Apr 25 06:35
      - here's the (lack of) space we have! — Anonymous, Tue Apr 24 22:36
        
        the uncovered corner is shown on here - doesn't even look like 100 - nearer 500? I do hope we can get more if wee have a chance of staying up.... more
      - cant help but think of Man City when we stayed up.. — True Blue, Tue Apr 24 23:10
        
        ...sat on the scaffolding outside the ground...surely we couldnt recreate that day or could we?
        Here's another pic... — Benny, Tue Apr 24 22:53
        
        We will be sat in the uncovered seats on the far left of this pic.
        Are umbrellas allowed in the ground? — Bluey the Swan's elder cousin, Wed Apr 25 06:41
        
        ..serious question.
        I don't know — Benny, Wed Apr 25 15:09
        
        ...serious answer.
  - if it's up for grabs and we can still stay upon the last day — Tase, Tue Apr 24 21:46
    
    it's our duty to get there
  - - ill be there regardless, but how many tickets would we get? (nm) — True Blue, Tue Apr 24 21:58
    - - Hillsborough ticket sales — owl-zat, Wed Apr 25 11:39
        
        The corner holds just under 1000 and you have been allocated this due to Sheffield Wednesday expecting to sell out the rest of the stadium with our own fans. Currently less than 6,000 tickets remain... more
      - Re: Hillsborough ticket sales — Luke, Wed Apr 25 11:55
        
        Okay. I see your point. But what will happen if we need more tickets?
        Re: Hillsborough ticket sales — Anonymous, Wed Apr 25 12:31
        
        How many do you realistically think you'll bring to Hillsborough? I saw reports of Carlisle bringing 5,000 last week (which I always thought a load of rubbish as they only get that at home) and in... more
        1000 odd if there's a survival chance, about 350 if not (nm) — JSwwfc, Wed Apr 25 19:19
        
        Re: Hillsborough ticket sales — Luke, Wed Apr 25 13:20
        
        if we win on saturday and still have a chance of staying up we will bring about 1,000 maybe or more; if we dont probs only be 300 if that
        Re: Hillsborough ticket sales — Baldric, Wed Apr 25 13:25
        
        I have no idea how long you have been a Wycombe fan but have you any idea how infrequently Wycombe have travelled with over a 1,000 fans even when relatively successful? Have a reality check....
        It's more than you (and I) might have thought — Benny, Wed Apr 25 14:10
        
        Even discounting local games, we have taken 1,000 or more to the following away games north of the Watford Gap. 1955 F.A. Cup Amateur Cup Semi-Final at Doncaster Rovers. 1991 F.A. Trophy Semi-Final... more
        Another suggestion — Anonymous, Wed Apr 25 16:04
        
        1993 at Preston? The "Hayrettin" moment... (I'm only guessing, but there were a fair few that day, or it seemed like it anyway).
        I'm pretty sure we didn't take 1,000 to Deepdale in 93 — Benny, Wed Apr 25 19:47
        
        but I'm relying on my memory (such as it is).
        If you watch the season video we are packed in like sardines — Anonymous, Wed Apr 25 22:27
        
        And a quote from the ever-reliable COTN: "The trip to Deepdale to play Preston North End on Saturday 27th November 1993 was a date that been looked forward to by many Wycombe followers and it would... more
        There were certainly a lots of us at Deepdale that day — Mr Tattler, Thu Apr 26 05:12
        
        And the kind locals treated us to a game of kiss chase in the car park after the game.
        I stand corrected - whack it on the list (nm) — Benny, Wed Apr 25 22:42
        
        great shout (nm) — eric plant, Wed Apr 25 16:31
        
        ahem.... — eric plant, Wed Apr 25 14:52
        
        1992 Division Four at Carlisle United - it was 1993 1993 Division Four at Crewe Alexandra - it was 1994 "BWK"
        Shove it up your cakehole Plant! (nm) — Benny, Wed Apr 25 14:56
        
        chortle (nm) — eric plant, Wed Apr 25 15:02
        
        Thanks for that — Baldric, Wed Apr 25 14:19
        
        Genuinely interesting. It is indeed more than I expected. But such incidents are increasing rare, and there is no real reason to suppose that the final match of this season would have been such an... more
        Absolutely. I found genuinely found it interesting too — Benny, Wed Apr 25 14:25
        
        which makes both of us rather sad, but then that's hardly breaking news! I was very surprised at how often we had taken more than 1,000 fans away from home. You know my feelings on our rich heritage. ... more
        how many did we take to Birmingham City in 94/95 season? — eric plant, Wed Apr 25 14:47
        
        we played them really early on and won 1-0 courtesy of a Cyrille Regis goal
        I can't find a definitive figure — Benny, Wed Apr 25 14:55
        
        It was played on a Tuesday evening whilst St. Andrews was being re-built. From memory we only took 4-500 or so.
        I thought we took loads — eric plant, Wed Apr 25 15:01
        oh, and the Posh FA cup replay as well (nm) — eric plant, Wed Apr 25 15:03
        
        I considered all of those games — Benny, Wed Apr 25 15:08
        
        The Kettering and Posh matches were both played on Monday evenings. I don't think we reached four figures in any of them but it may well have been close.
        Kettering in the FA Trophy quarter final was a Monday — Anonymous, Wed Apr 25 16:07
        
        (and we didn't take 1000 to that one)
        Eric wasn't referring to the FAT QF in March 86 — Benny, Wed Apr 25 19:46
        
        but the GMVC game at Rockingham Road in April 92.
        I know — Anonymous, Wed Apr 25 22:30
        
        I was trying to suggest a possible reason for your confusion ;-) I remember that night for being a damp squib. Re-arranged to a silly night. Poor attendance for such a big fixture. Poor performance.... more
        Oh, hang on... — Anonymous, Wed Apr 25 22:32
        
        Yet another Kettering memory. "Too confusing"
        pretty certain Kettering was a wednesday (nm) — eric plant, Wed Apr 25 15:11
        
        Sorry, you are right again. The preceeding home game — Benny, Wed Apr 25 15:18
        
        vs Bath City was a 3pm kick off on Bank Holiday Monday (which is what made me think it was a Saturday).
        It will depends on Saturday's result vs Notts County — Benny, Wed Apr 25 12:34
        
        Even if we win I would have thought we'd still struggle to bring more than 1,000 fans.
        I think the best recent comparison — P-Bo, Wed Apr 25 14:06
        
        in terms of distance, and the significance of the game, is Port Vale away back in 2009, when mathematically we could have clinched promotion. Yet we only took a disappointing 932.... more
        Tickets for Hillsborough — owlzat, Wed Apr 25 13:59
        
        So really the corner which holds around 1,000 will be suffice and just hope it doesn't rain. To be fair I've been in that corner recently and it's O.K with no posts obscuring the view.
