I saw the same thing, couldn't believe how unsafe the away end looks.

I've been there twice and all I remember was that it's quite a shallow terrace. But then even though one of those games was late on in the league 2 play off final season we definitely didn't sell it out.
It sounded like it's the sell out element that made it a bit fraught.

Attendance is 4,440, no word on Chairboys numbers yet.
I think it was an away sellout of 1650, wasn’t it.
I’m chuffed to bits to have been within 60 of the overall attendance figure. And if the “missing@ 28 Wycombe fans had been able to make it (hope they’re not still lost somewhere in the West Midlands) I’d have been within 32 !
So 4440 with 1622 in the away end. The second highest league attendance at the Pirelli Stadium this season - only Sheffield Weds attracted more - 4763 on 6th Feb.
I am almost sorry I sang "You're only here for the Wycombe", because on the way back to the car from the ground after the game I was greeted by a Burton fan who wished us well for the playoffs.
Top Ten for the Overall Attendance:
1 @micra whose prediction of 4500 was out by 60
2 @MindlessDrugHoover whose prediction of 4348 was out by 92
3 @ryan_w_kirby2 whose prediction of 4329 was out by 111
4 @Manboobs whose prediction of 4321 was out by 119
5 @floyd whose prediction of 4301 was out by 139
6 @robin whose prediction of 4290 was out by 150
7 @Errol_Sims whose prediction of 4651 was out by 211
8 @bigred87 whose prediction of 4658 was out by 218
9 @peterparrotface whose prediction of 4189 was out by 251
10 @YorkExile whose prediction of 4141 was out by 299
Many congratulations to @micra - Forecaster of the Week by a margin - I hope I am allowed to say, "Well done young chap". Congratulations to @MindlessDrugHoover for the only other double digit score.
Collectively we rather underestimated the attraction of our wonderful football team. @shev
Burton gave the away crowd as 1622.
Congratulations to @robin who was closest, 8 out with 1630. There are honourable mentions for @shev [1633 / 11] and @DJWYC14 [1635 / 13].
I am about to update the 'Tour de Season' Leaderboard to see how much closer to the top @micra will appear.

Wow! Great for Burton but hopeless for my prediction. ?♂️
Panic when I realised at 11.20 that I had not predicted and my 4g was not working.
No good anyhow, gate was way higher than expected. Second biggest for Burton this season
1,622 Wycombe reported by BAFC.

Hopefully @micra hasn't breached the FFP Rules!
Imagine the thread. Nightmare.
