CUP FEVER HITS TOWN
The
Wycombe v Wolves tie on Saturday 27th January set a new
record attendance of 9,617 at Adams Park. The previous best attendance of 9,007, set when West Ham
visited in the FA Cup in 1995, was blown away as Cup fever hit High Wycombe following The Wanderers historical victory over
Grimsby Town in the Third Round.
Ticket sales for the Fourth Round tie with Wolves were the busiest since Wycombe moved to Adams Park ten
years ago. Wolves sold out their 1,800 allocation within two days of tickets
going on sale and local demand forced the Club to make the game ALL-TICKET
following insistence from the local Police. Ticket sales had topped 8,000
after less than four days of sales and the last few tickets were
snapped up on the Tuesday morning prior to the game. The final attendance
figure of 9,617 was just under the
normal 10,000 capacity due to segregation and safety requirements.
