Old Man Andrews This Adams Park access talk is complete nonsense. Like I have said previously this The stylin', profilin', limousine riding, jet flying, kiss-stealing, wheelin' and dealin' son of a gun has never had one issue parking there or getting out of there, it is a myth created by jealous Reading supporters who hold a grudge against Wycombe and cannot bring themselves to acknowledge their achievements.

Stranded Don't drive there then. If fans are allowed next season, always found best way to get there is train to Marlow. Drink in the Donkey, if it's still there, and 10mins in a cab from there.

Book the same taxi on way back and repeat. Job done.


The 800 or 805 from Twyford for me. Their ground is genuinely one of the easiest grounds to get in and out of.

I get there six hours before the game so traffic not too bad and before the car park attendant arrives.

Walk round bored for an hour then sleep in the car for three hours. Then go to the pub, then back up the road to the game.

After the match I have a four hour sleep until the exit jam has cleared

EASY!

I remember having major issues getting there in the league game back in 01/02 season, although;

a) it was midweek
b) it was pissing down with rain
c) we were running quite late
d) we forgot where we parked the car so it took us ages to get home as well

So bad experience but most of the blame could certainly be placed on us. :lol:

What does Ainsworth do now? Stay at Wycombe for another season, or jump ship while his stock's high?

stay. The latter never works. Look at that fraud Nathan Jones or Eddie Jones when he went from Bournemouth to Burnley

Well it depends on who comes in for him I guess. If you look at the Championship sides who could need a new manager there are some big ones out there. Sheffield Wednesday and Bristol City are the two that stand out. Sheff Wed are a bit of a basket case of a club so it wouldn't be too wise going there imo and Bristol City would probably want more of a proven Championship promotion specialist such as Chris Hughton. Ainsworth has turned down 3 bigger clubs before in Barnsley, Sunderland and QPR so he is seemingly happy where he is, especially now after the promotion. Was close to getting the Reading job before Gomes too.

If I were him I would stay put and see how things go with Wycombe, he can't really lose. Hoping Wycombe get some extra financial investment now they have gone up and can at least get a couple of decent loan players in to help them out a bit.

Nameless Impressive for a team who weren’t actually in the playoff places to win the playoff final.
They’ll do well to finish 23rd next season I suspect.
Hope they enjoy their moment, however you do it, winning promotion is a great thing.



They weren’t in the playoff places?


I think they were one place outside them when the season ground to a halt. Because they then rejigged the league on point per game basis Wycombe benefitted because they had a game in hand and the way the maths worked they jumped up into the playoff spots.
Extreme circumstances, they had to find a way to approximate an even finish and the way they chose worked In Wycombe’s favour. It’s no more than a quirk and obviously us8ng the formula the league chose they did qualify legitimately for the PO’s but it will always be one of those where they didn’t actually do what was needed to qualify, they could easily have lost that game in hand whereas it was assumed they would get points.

They were 8th I think and that's why the perennial basket case choke artists Peterborough were crying so much, as were "we are too big for league 1" sunderLOLand

stay. The latter never works. Look at that fraud Nathan Jones or Eddie Jones when he went from Bournemouth to Burnley


And the guy from Shrewsbury who went to Ipswich.

There must be a reason Ainsworth has not got a job elsewhere at a higher level, it could be down to loyalty he's stayed but that's so rare these days.

I normally find it difficult to disagree with you Lux, but ‘penalty looked dodgy’. :shock: I can only assume you’re joking

Agree.....definate penalty....but it was an accident and tight, could it have been a clear goal scoring opportunity? Debatable.. Ref got it perfectly right, good decision. Wonder how many refs would have been flashing a red card?
