Best Of

Regarding a town centre stadium, I personally think the only place it could have been would have been the old broomwade site that stretched from Morrisons all the way to Hughenden Park. You may well have just about been able to squeeze a stadium and infrastructure for parking or excellent public transport links there and the train station and bus station being walking distance (or indeed bus station based at that site instead of where it was relocated when Eden was built).

But seeing as they stuck students and Old folks as neighbours (which I always thought was an interesting mixture) and a housing estate, that idea has long gone. And what was actually built was probably vastly more profitable for the council.

Plenty of stadiums around with very limited parking - AFC Wimbledon and Brentford both come to mind with basically no on site parking for fans, from what I can remember

There would be plenty of available land close to the town centre if not for Wycombe Abbey. The amount of land occupied by private schools is nothing short of obscene.

Remember the brass neck of Wycombe District Councillors appearing on the balcony of the council offices to bask in the reflected glory of our FA Trophy win in 1991?

The thousands of Wycombe fans there let them know exactly what we thought of them. I've rarely been prouder to be a Wycombe fan.

There are many things that can be improved and tweaked but I think right now our focus should be 100 per cent on the next 15 games. If they go well then a lot of the issues surrounding our attendances will become a lot easier to solve.

Well done for finding this excellent summary of the problems the club faced, they were even worse than I remembered. I particularly liked the bit about how a successful football club can enhance the image and reputation of a town that otherwise would mean nothing to most people outside High Wycombe.

Blimey. We owe Brian Lee an enormous debt of gratitude, and the council really didn't like the football club!

Ballses up the sponsorship...but obviously wish him all the best for his move!

'Top of the League and we're only getting 8,000...what is going on?'

Agreed. Game by game, tick off the wins, and see if we can make an even more glorious ascent to the 2nd tier.

Last time was brilliant, but very few got to experience anything in the flesh and whilst Wembley is a glorious way to go up - again none of us were there (apart from a few hangers on).

To go up automatically, and be at the grounds is mouth watering.

Then we can worry about how massively chaotic 8-9,000 every week is going to be.

It'll need more than one bus in and those 80 spaces at a school a mile away!
