I try and avoid twitter as a rule, but caught sight of a number of yoofs actually trying to argue that what was thrown wasn’t a “missile” and saying that has army / warfare connotations!
Talk about missing the point.
There was a time in the terrace where when we scored, some of the yoof got in the habit of sprinting to the front and clattering anyone in their way. Often into the boards.
Pretty sure someone on the fb group used to suggest that was their own fault for standing there knowing what happens!

I think you mean CEF. That’s where I usually park. For a bog standard league game it’s not as bad as it looks and by the time you’ve done the walk things start to clear. However, I usually get there early enough to get one of the marked spaces. On one occasion I got put right down the back of the unit which is a single file reverse in. One chap didn’t come back to his car for ages and was blocking me in. Myself and the car of Bolton fans right at the back had to do a nervy go around, mirrors in, inching around with beads of sweat jobbie. Not fun but just about doable.
Had a quick google - no not there - although that place is as you describe.
It’s the next one along - which looks to be Sabeti Wain Aerospace behind blue gates. If you’re first in you are utterly rammed in, at the whim of 7 or 8 cars
Young men are allowed to have fun in my opinion.When that used to happen the atmosphere on the terrace was far superior to how it currently is.They stopped coming due to yellow lines and enthusiastic stewarding.The atmosphere now doesn’t touch it.
I had no problem with that and had no issue standing further along to let them have their fun.

No one objects to people having fun. Most people should object when someone’s fun is someone else’s avoidable misery.
Simple. Respect other people.

Actually, when the team played on the cricket ground, the opposition goalkeeper would be pelted with snowballs. Worse happened after a match against Maidenhead Reserves in 1891-92 on the cricket ground, when opposition players were assaulted on their way back to the Nags Head. Allegedly. It received national coverage but WWFC Chairman Robert Wood described the reports as “untrue and malicious statements”.

What I am doing is respecting young mens right to be young men and have fun the way a lot of young men tend to.Rather than feeling so entitled that they should not do so because at the age off 55 I want to stand where they do it (or did it as the case may be) .
There is plenty of room in the terrace to allow for that.It was not the riot some suggest anyway.Having experienced standing half way up the clock end (terrace) at Highbury in 1986 at the age of 16 I can assure you of this.
The end result of them being chased off is that it may please you but the attendence in the terrace is down and the atmosphere muted.
Simple.

Yes I agree…. He was solid…. He really really REALLY…. Needs to cut getting caught in possession out of his game though…. I was livid at the time 
cos I’ve seen it before on too many occasions…. But other than that he was worth his weight in gold

If you are suggesting that there is any racial slur behind that chant then that is nothing short of ridiculous. A black person that bodybuilds would have more chance of looking like Akinfenwa that just any black person. Therefore, the similarity is linked with the former.
I think insinuating that Alfie May is a “pikey” is worse but it is all in gest.
Regards the bottle incident. I had 4 lads behind me on the terrace, about 16 years old at a guess. Did not stop talking nonsense. One of them was even chanting “white and blue army” so I doubt they are regulars. On the way out they lit a joint and I couldn’t get the smell off me for ages! They DID NOT STOP talking! That was more offensive to my senses.

You sound like you live in Bassetsbury Lane…
Don’t take action into your own hands. Like painting brothel on walls, or throwing bottles at referee/ assistance. You’ll get yourself into trouble.

I know it’s not the same. But Newcastle away would have been great.

Not on a Tuesday or Wednesday evening. Save it for the FA cup.
See what above?
Hahahaahha. Very funny timing.
Wycombe has a very bad problem with so many brothels. I know this is a football forum, but I really wish TVP would stop investigating teenage empty plastic bottle throwers at the football and start investigating horrific crimes in the town. I don’t mind dying on that hill.

In the final year of my Law degree, I had to research and write a dissertation on the topic “The Oldest Profession: Should It Be Legalised?”
Under the Sexual Offences Act 2003, a brothel is defined as two or more sex workers offering services from a premises, whereas a single woman operating alone is doing nothing illegal.
There are indeed quite a few of these in High Wycombe, although for some reason Milton Keynes has many more. The UK falls between two extremes compared with the rest of the world - New Zealand has government licensed brothels in every town and city, whereas in Sweden a punter can be arrested for even trying to pay for sex.
TVP, along with most police forces, know exactly where these places are, but take the view that it’s better that it goes on behind closed doors rather than have hookers walking the streets.
The TVP haven’t been down Desborough Road of an evening then…. (heard it from a friend).
