NO STANDING AT MACC
(Monday 10th September 2007)
Ironic that in the week that Wanderers hosted a 'Safe Standing Day' at Adams Park, that next opponents for Paul Lambert's side, Macclesfield Town, are planning to force Wanderers travelling support to sit, while the 'away' terrace will remain closed. It's claimed that Silkmen officials are not opening the terrace because they have been told to expect less than 400 Wycombe fans and want to save money on staffing the 1,500 capacity terrace, housing all away fans in a seated area along the side of the pitch. Meanwhile, Macclesfield fans will still have the option to stand opposite the seated area on the 1,300 capacity London Road terrace, or at the Star Lane End, where there are 800 standing places. Wanderers fans wishing to contact Macclesfield Town on this matter can do so by emailing office@mtfc.co.uk, where according to their Customer Charter they are obliged to respond within five days. Note that under 16's can gain entry for £5, while acompanied under 12's are admitted free. |

WYCOMBE 1 BRENTFORD 0
(Sunday 9th September 2007)
An 82nd penalty converted by Jermaine Easter was enough to snatch Wanderers all three points against Brentford in the live Sky game at Adams Park on Sunday.

The spot kick was awarded after Martin Bullock's run into the area from the right flank was ended by a trip from Grant Basey. After five games Wycombe are now 12th in the table with seven points. Next game, away to Macclesfield on Saturday 15th September. Wycombe: Young, Martin, McCracken, Johnson, Williams (sub HT Torres), Stockley, Bloomfield, Holt (sub 69 Oakes), Bullock, McGleish (sub 69 Sutton), Easter - subs not used: Shearer, Reid - Att:4,711 (away end 827) |

DOHERTY DEAL ON HOLD
(Thursday 6th September 2007)
It's been reported that Wanderers turned down the chance to sign QPR midfielder Tommy Doherty on deadline day because the west London club had asked for a fee of £50,000. Paul Lambert was quoted as saying to the Bucks Free Press, "It's a pity. They wanted money and we couldn't do it. It's a shame that we couldn't do it because I think he is well out of the picture at QPR. We worked on it as late as we could, it went right to the wire but they wouldn't budge." COTN understands that the two clubs had agreed a similar fee before the player was forced out of action during July due to an appendicitist. |
