My Road To Wembley
This is isn't about Wycombe exactly (although we do get a mention) but Wycombe fan Matt Bass is doing a blog, with the support of the FA, where he attempts to attend a game for every round of this season's FA Cup, whilst also meeting the people behind the scenes at the clubs involved and finding out more about the passionate work they put into keeping their sides going in this challenging climate.
I'm biased, because he's my best mate, but it really is well worth a read. Here's the first entry, I'll post the others on here as they go up.

No doubt many of you will have heard Matt's feature on the latest episode of Ringing the Blues.
Here's his latest piece, covering the First Qualifying Round, including local side Flackwell Heath; https://www.thefa.com/news/2023/sep/05/matt-bass-road-to-wembley-flackwell-heath-20230905?fbclid=IwAR2LzQ6uZSgXE9tNhOIx-Zwf1p7ndNTlCsXP2qUf-7seG8ryAsRSoiLSaWA
One question I had, which maybe @Jonny_King can answer is how Matt picks his games. He doesn't seem to be following one team, and then the team that beats them etc. Is there a pattern or just whatever takes his fancy?
With the Heathens game being abandoned I presume Matt is having to get to another game in the First Qualifying Round or his quest to go to all 14 rounds is over after 2 rounds.
Does anyone know what game he managed to get to or has his journey finished in early September.
I think he picks a shortlist at random and then asks people to choose via Twitter poll.
