WANDERERS OPENING DAY HOODOO
Wanderers will be looking to break an eight year Football League opening day hoodoo when they commence the 2002/3 programme on Saturday 10th August with an away fixture at Notts County. Wycombe haven't won their opening game of the season since 1994 when Cambridge United were thrashed 3-0 in Wanderers' first ever Division Two campaign.Wanderers finished in 6th place that season with a haul of 78 points and it's a position that the succession of Managers after Martin O'Neill have failed to emulate. Lawrie Sanchez came closest last season when Wanderers accumulated 64 points to finish in 11th place. Wycombe opened last season with a 1-0 defeat at Cardiff City and in previous seasons have failed to win against Crewe Alexandra (drew 1-1 at home 1995/96), Shrewsbury (drew 1-1 away 1996/97), Wigan (lost 5-2 away 1997/98), Luton Town (lost 1-0 home 1998/99), Burnley (drew 1-1 home 1999/2000) and Stoke City (drew 0-0 away 2000/2001).
