Premiership Fulham FC are scheduled to play their first Europa League Qualifying match on 30th June 2011, and so signal the start of the 2011-2012 football season. Is it me, or does the closed season seem to grow shorter every year?
Having had 13 memorable years working for Wycombe Wanderers at Adams Park I also remember we had 10 successive seasons in Coca-Cola League One, which was not bad for our first ever Football League campaign, having won successive promotions from the Vauxhall Conference as it was then then via the Third Division Play-Off Final in 1994 at Wembley under the inspirational leadership of Martin O’Neill. The Blues beat Preston North End 4-2, having been 2-1 down at half-time, in for me is the best…
Last night saw the big match (no not Manchester United in the Champions League), but the cream from amongst Hazlemere Window Company fabricators, taking on the office administrators from Hazlemere Windows Head Office at the Cressex Astroturf football pitch in High Wycombe, Bucks. The match was the idea of lifelong Arsenal fan Tony Beale, the Sales Director.The factory boys flew into a 2-0 lead in-front a of a surprisingly large crowd of fellow work colleagues, friends and family who came along for a goof laugh, and were not to be disappointed. Eventually as the match wore on, the more experienced heads on the office side, started to pass the ball around and gradually fitness became a deciding factor.
The only booking of the match was…
Dear Supporter,
The results of the Wycombe District Council’s consultation on a new community stadium and sports village have just been published and we wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for your support.
The consultation generated a huge response with nearly 8,400 replies received by the Council. We are delighted to say that of these over 70% were supporting a new stadium and sports village at Wycombe Air Park at Booker.
This is a very positive step for a new stadium for Wycombe Wanderers and Wasps as well as a new sports village for Wycombe.
We have been ‘Backing Booker’ right from the start because it is the only site in the District that will enable our vision for a community stadium…
Wycombe Wanderers 1-0 win over high flying Gillingham is their fifth win in a row, keeping them on course for possible automatic promotion to Coca-Cola League One. Apart from a 100% record over Christmas, and getting three points this Bank Holiday Monday against a Gillingham side who had won their last 5 League matches, the best news is keeping a clean sheet, as this is something the Chairboys have struggled to do this season.
As a Blues fan for the last 20 seasons, I first started supporting Wycombe when they were in the Vauxhall Conference whilst Martin O’Neill was there Manager. I remember watching my first match in 1991 when Dave Carroll scored a wonder goal in a 5-0 win over Merthyr Tdyfil. Despite finishing…
Having been privileged enough to watch Windsor and Eton Football Club beat VT FC 1-0 at Stag Meadow last night to clinch promotion to the Zamaretto Premership and the Championship title, I was thrilled for both their Manager Keith Scott (former Wycombe Wanderers striker) and everyone connected with the Royalists, as it happened to be the first season Hazlemere Window Company have sponsored the St. Leonards Road based Club.
The entire night almost ended in disaster, after more than half the floodlights failed during the first half! Enormous credit is due to both the referee and VT FC, who were prepared to play on till about 8.34pm in descending darkness till half-time was reached, during which an electrician did his best to get as many…
The truth is, that at present, no one knows, but if the reported debts in today’s Daily Mail of £82-£86m are true, the future is certainly not a bright one. The fact is that for Portsmouth FC to come out of administration an agreement with the majority of it’s debtors will need to be found quickly. Who on earth would invest now in a football club in the current climate? Especially not maybe the “former” Nationwide Blue Square Premiership Chester City Football Club, or the Coca-Cola Football League’s oldest club Notts County FC, or Southend United FC, Cardiff City FC, Crystal Palace FC and AFC Bournemouth Football Club? – to name but a few!!
Take my own football club, Coca-Cola Football League One side Wycombe…
Gary Waddock watched Wycombe Wanderers make a bright start against old rivals Colchester United with a 1-1 draw in the Coca-Cola Football League One match at Adams Park, equalising Colchester’s first half goal thanks to a shot into the bottom left hand corner of the goal from just outside the penalty area on 87 minutes by Wycombe Wanderers striker Jon-Paul Pittman.
Having left Coca-Cola League Two side Aldershot Town, Gary Waddock saw a positive and encouraging performance by the Blues in his first match in charge as Wycombe Wanderers Manager. Former Wycombe Wanderers Manager Peter Taylor left the club by “mutual consent” having failed to see his side make any progress in League One. The only way for the Blues is up as currently are…
I am delighted to say Hazlemere Windows have increased their level of support for Bucks based Beaconsfield SYCOB at Holloways Park, opposite Beaconsfield Motorway Services on junction 2 of the M40 Motorway. Hazlemere Conservatories are proud sponsors of Beaconsfield Slough Youth Club Old Boys Football Club, taking additional advertising signage at the ground.
In addition to being Beaconsfield SYCOB “Official Website Sponsors”, Hazlemere Windows are now the sponsors of the advertising board that advertises which match is on next at Holloways Park. Beaconsfield Football Club ground share with Slough Town FC, so the fixture board gets well used! Hazlemere Windows now have seven advertising boards at Holloways Park, one of which is above the main clubhouse as Hazlemere Windows, Doors & Conservatories are also “Official…
