Re: Match Day Thread: Stevenage
I'm no expert on the technical side of radio waves etc, but the weather conditions on Boxing Day may have contributed to the poor signal. HW is very much on the edge of the BBC3CR 98FM frequency range too.
Wycombe Sound106.6FM is another option if you are in HW but that would involve having to listen to me.
Re: Where would you like us to be in the future?
The state of Wycombe (formerly General) Hospital is pretty damning, but even more so that it is far from the most ramshackle hospital in the NHS. The half-hearted proposal from the unlamented previous MP was to knock it down and have a super hospital in Holyport at the end of the A404 (M), 12 miles away from Wycombe town centre. With all the redevelopment going on around the old gasworks, it's incredible that no thought has seemingly been put in to building new facilities to ensure that basic healthcare for a district of 120,000 people has at the very least A&E and maternity services.
When Loakes Park has a compulsory purchase order placed on it, I got the feeling that although it put Wycombe Wanderers in a difficult position owing to the uncooperative district council denying planning permission for every proposal WWFC put forward, ensuring the suitability of the General Hospital site for generations to come was seen to be of greater importance. It's disgraceful how we've ended up where we are now with no plan in sight to have a modern hospital in the heart of the community.

Re: Rumour Mill
Look Here I don't want the Police on My Back so the plan is to send in the Sandinista! to do the Rebel Waltz to the Sound of Sinners, and a Crooked Beat, so that with Shepherds Delight we'll have a Street Parade with Bloomfield as The Leader along Broadway to Mensforth Hill to celebrate Something About England just One More Time to convince our players that their best Career Opportunities are to have the Call Up as Chairboys rather than just Living in Fame elsewhere and new and extended contracts are handed out to the Magnificent Seven then Lets Go Crazy celebrating but remember this is just one possible Version Pardner and as ever guided by the immortal words Charlie Don't Surf
Re: Where would you like us to be in the future?
The key to accessing Brighton's ground is train travel to Falmer station (next to the ground). Your match ticket entitles you to free train & bus travel to the match from approximately 10 miles away.
Additionally, there are dozens of buses that come in from local towns/villages but the local buses to/from Brighton are a bit more sporadic. Considering you are moving 30,000 people after a match it works quite well. Therefore, in my opinion, any new ground would need to be easily accessible by rail in order to get the volume of people away quickly.

Reopen West Wycombe railway station (closed 1958) with gondola cable car link over to AP. Best of both.
Re: Where would you like us to be in the future?
There surely isn't anywhere near enough space to replicate the Wycombe hospital, associated buildings and current parking at the Adams Park site is there? You'd probably need double the land, or even more?
And that's before you ask if moving that most critical of things - an accessible hospital right out of town is the right thing to do.
