The Adams Park Years - 1990 to present

Following a move to Adams Park in 1990 Wycombe have enjoyed their most successful period in their history. Between 1991 and 1994 there were three victorious visits to Wembley and promotion to the Football League under Manager Martin O'Neill. Just ten years after the '91 Wembley appearance there was a remarkable run in the FA Cup that only ended at the Semi-Final stage in April 2001 to Liverpool. In the 2006/7 season Wanderers reached the Semi-Final of the Football League Cup as a fourth tier side - eventually bowing out over two legs to Chelsea. Having diced with relegation from the Football League in May 2014, the Club flourished under Gareth Ainsworth, reaching a League Two play-off at Wembley in 2015 before automatic promotion in 2018. During the Covid effected season of 2019/20, Wanderers achieved a remarkable play-off success at Wembley to play in the second tier of English football for the first time. Sadly for those connected with the Club, there was relegation back to League One after just one season played almost entirely behind closed doors. A immediate return was missed after losing out to Sunderland in a League One play-off at Wembley. But the remarkable story goes on... These are links to those seasons, right up to present day. Where available, details of individual matches are linked from each result.
