WYCOMBE 2 HEREFORD 1
(Sunday 26th December 2010)
A late goal from Ben Strevens saw Wanderers finally put aside bottom club Hereford United on a bitterly cold Boxing Day afternoon at Adams Park. The visitors had the better chances during the early exchanges and came closest to taking the lead in the 6th minute when Rob Purdie's shot was deflected and Nikki Bull was grateful to see the ball bounce back off the crossbar. However, Wanderers took the lead four minutes before the break when the ball broke out to Gareth Ainsworth out on the right channel and the former QPR midfielder fired home low past Adam Bartlett in the United goal. But Wanderers failed to add to the lead after the break and The Bulls got a deserved equaliser in the 79th minute when Mathieu Manset forced the ball home after substitute Joe Colbeck had crossed from the right. It was then Wanderers who grabbed the winner in the 87th minute when Strevens latched onto a Beavon cut-back from the right to fire home to the relief of the home support. With this being the only game surviving the weather in 'League Two', Wanderers move to fourth place in the table with 34 points from 20 games - four points behind leaders Chesterfield who have played one game less. Wycombe:Bull, Winfield, Westwood, Sandell, Johnson, Bloomfield, Betsy, Ainsworth, Lewis, Strevens, Beavon - subs not used: Foster, Arnold, Bennett, McCoy, Murtagh, Harris, McClure - Att:3,792 (away end 400) |

FA CUP TIE DELAYED
(Tuesday 21st December 2010)
Wanderers' Third Round FA Cup tie with either Lincoln City or Hereford United has been put on hold until Tuesday 11th January after the freezing conditions caused another postponement of the replay at Sincil Bank. The replay is now scheduled for Thursday 6th January, just two days before the original Third Round date. Wanderers officials moved quickly to arrange the provisional date of Tuesday 11th January and also re-arranged the trip to Crewe Alexendra for Saturday 8th January in order to avoid a blank Saturday. The arrangements mean that Wanderers will go into the draw for the Fourth Round of the FA Cup for only the fourth time in their history. |

SOUTHEND AWAY OFF
(Saturday 17th December 2010)
Wanderers 'League Two' fixture at Southend United fell foul to the weather on Saturday after a 10am pitch inspection ruled the surface unplayable due to the continuing freezing conditions in the South of England. Wycombe's next scheduled game is now at home to Hereford United on Sunday 26th December - kick-off 3pm. The undersoil heating at Adams Park should keep the surface playable, although safety concerns on the approaches to the stadium may still scupper plans to play the game unless a thaw sets in over the next few days. |

GASP COUNCIL PROTEST
(Monday 13th December 2010)
A crowd estimated in excess of 200 protested outside the Wycombe District Council offices on Monday evening to show opposition to the proposals of building a 'Community Stadium' for use by Wanderers and London Wasps. The protest, which coincided with the Full Council meeting was organised by the newly formed coalition group, GASP (Groups Against the Stadium Proposals). The group, who claim to represent more than 13,000 residents, have also set-up a website at www.gasp-no.org. A report on the Bucks Free Press website say that following the meetingCouncil Leader Lesley Clarke 'batted away questions about the air park location, by reiterating the council had not declared any support for this site and saying it was too early still to make such judgements'. However, it's widely assumed that Booker Air Park will be the chosen site come the announcement of the next phase of the process in January 2011. |

WYCOMBE 1 BURY 0
(Saturday 11th December 2010)
Wanderers recorded an impressive 1-0 victory over Bury at Adams Park - Scott Rendell getting the decisive goal with 20 minutes of normal time remaining. Gary Waddock named an unchanged starting XI to the one that had beaten Chelmsford City two weeks previous and in a sometimes frantic encounter the main talking point of the first half was an alledged elbow on Stuart Beavon from Efe Sodje that went unseen by the officials. Waddock apparently delivered a stirring half-time talk for his team and it paid off with a more powerful second half showing and the reward of a winning goal on 70 minutes when the ball was delivered out wide right where Gareth Ainsworth worked the ball down the wing with Matt Bloomfield eventually taking the ball into the box and laying the ball off to Rendell who slotted past the Bury 'keeper. Wanderers move to 6th in the table after this victory with the next game scheduled to be on Saturday (18th December) at Southend United. Meanwhile, Wanderers will have to wait even longer to find out who their opponents will be the Third Round of the FA Cup after the Lincoln v Hereford replay was postponed again and a new date set for 20th December. Wycombe:Bull, Westwood, Sandell, Winfield, Johnson, Ainsworth (sub 74 Strevens), Lewis, Bloomfield, Betsy, Beavon, Rendell (sub 87 Montrose) - subs not used: Arnold, Bennett, Johnson, McClure - Att:3,673 (away end 300) |
