Wycombe Wanderers, League Two

When I was planning to go to Rushden and Diamonds Nene park I was
looking forward to it as from the Guide it seemed a nice modern stadium
and not to far from Wycombe. The ground was not the easiest to find
as it is not on the signposted road to Rushden, but once you get nearer
the stadium it is easier to find. The car parking is fantastic there
with lots of spaces and very organised as well.
Before the game we found it difficult to find a pub or anywhere to
drink apart from the clubs own pub which didn't seem to be letting away
fans in. As we did walk around the ground the fans seemed friendly
enough most of them seemed very young but in the home terrace there were
proper supporters.
The first impression of the ground when we walked in was that the
other stands seemed rather small but the away stand that we were allocated
half of was bigger and seemed the best stand. It did look nice
though because it was joined all the way around and nice and enclosed
(didn't stop the swirling spring winds though!).
I had to admit there was little noise being produced from the home
terrace but once they took the lead they started singing only to the reply
of "you only sing when your winning"! The stewards were quite strict
about sitting down but every time they walked away an encore of "stand up
if u love Wycombe" soon sorted that. The food was as good
as usual, balti pie was good as everywhere! Toilets were nice
as the stadium is modern, no complaints.
It was rather a pain getting out of the Nene park complex but you
get it at most Grounds these days.
Overall it was a good day out (winning in the last minute helped
this) and I would recommend it to travelling fans as a nice modern
ground.
