Going out away to Eastwood Town 2-0 in the 2nd round of the FA Cup is bitterly disappointing as a Wycombe Wanderers fan, yet it may be a blessing? We are already thankfully out of the JP Trophy, Carling Cup and now FA Cup, so only have Coca Cola League Two to concentrate on, so hopefully the lads, and the former England Under 21’s Manager Peter Taylor (Wycombe Wanderers Football Club’s current Manager), will now be fully focused on gaining promotion. Yes, i would rather have been in the FA Cup 3rd Round draw, but you have to look on the bright side, and hope we don’t come down with the Christmas decorations!

Since London Wasps moved from Loftus Road to Adams Park they have won the Premiership, Heineken Cup and dominated Club Rugby Union – until this season. With 7 Guinness Premiership matches played, London Wasps have only mustered one win and are second bottom. Fair enough, a lot of their players have been on International Duty, but so have other Clubs.
Adams Park is no longer the fortress it was for London Wasps. Instead, their landlords, Wycombe Wanderers from Coca-Cola League Two, who Hazlemere Windows have been sponsoring for years, are showing up their tenants by not only being top of the League after 17 matches, but also unbeaten in the League, in fact going into December 2008 the Blues are the only unbeaten professional football team in the UK.

It was not just the winning 2-1 last night, but the performance that brought this so called “friendly” match alive. It was great to see England outclassing Germany on their own soil. John Terry proved his credentials as a leader by taking full responsibility for Germany’s equalizer, when it was clear he had little help from Scott Carson. For Terry to get such an excellent winner and be the first footballing side to beat Germany in Berlin since 1973, demonstrates how far he and England have come under England Manager Fabio Cappello. Well done lads, a great watch!

Hazlemere Windows have agreed to be the “Official Clubhouse Sponsors” of Beaconsfield Football Club for the next three seasons. Beaconsfield SYCOB (as they are known) play at Holloways Park, which is located almost on junction 2 of the M40 Motorway at Beaconsfield, Bucks. As with Burnham Football Club, Hazlemere Windows used to have a high street Showroom in Beaconsfield New Town for many years, so it was a logical step to continue supporting the community via grass roots football.
Slough Town FC ground share with Beaconsfield FC, bringing in much needed revenue. The modern Clubhouse at Beaconsfield Football Club incorporates excellent facilities, taking bookings of up to 120 persons for wedding receptions, parties and discos etc. It has a stage for a disco or band etc. and a fully equipped kitchen. Hazlemere Windows have six advertising boards at the ground, two either side of each goal and two outside the stadium.

Hazlemere Window Company is proud to sponsor the new facilities at The Gore, the home of Burnham Football Club. The new stadium is very impressive and has a modern sizeable Conference & Banqueting Centre that many sporting clubs would give their right arm for. Hazlemere have agreed to be “Official Clubhouse Sponsors” for the next 3 years, and has several advertising boards at the stadium as a result.
Burnham Football Club play in the British Gas Business League Division One South & West. All the Blues fixtures are on www.burnhamfc.com or www.southern-football-league.co.uk
Hazlemere Windows used to have a Showroom Burnham for years, so their tie-up with Burnham Football Club is a continuation of a long term presence in the community. Nowadays Hazlemere’s has a dedicated 4,000 square feet showroom in Wellington Road, Cressex Business Park. Burnham Football Club Conference Centre can seat up to 150 for a reception or 170 theatre style in its main room, which has a bar and up to 70 persons in the adjoining Chiltern Suite. Ideal for both weddings and business functions with lots of free on-site parking, the venue offers excellent value for money.

Liverpool FC’s loss to Spurs in the Premier League last Saturday, means the ONLY professional UK football team unbeaten in the League is Wycombe Wanderers. This has largely been down to clean sheets, having only conceded 6 goals at home and away in Coca Cola League Two to date. I have no idea how long it can last, so lets hope my fellow Blues fans enjoy it while it lasts, as it is not being unbeaten that matters, but 3 points and getting automatic promotion come the Spring, so whilst it is nice to remain unbeaten, it will all count as nothing unless Wycombe Wanderers build on their best ever start to a League campaign and this season go all the way.

Hazlemere Windows had long been sponsoring the Chairboys before I joined the Club as Commercial Manager in 1992. Little did I know I was going to end up working there till 2004! My first contact with Hazlemere Windows, came when Wycombe Wanderers were still in the GM Vauxhall Conference as it was then (non-League). Hazlemere Windows even provided the trailer for the Club’s Matchday Programme Shop, which is still in the car park at Adams Park till this day!
When I moved in Beaconsfield in 1994, I obviously got a quote from Hazlemere Windows, given they were major sponsors at Wycombe Wanderers, and had such a good name locally. They replaced all the windows and doors in our new home with aluminium Monarch windows and doors. Subsequently they also replaced all the cladding, fascias, soffits, gutters and downpipes, so I now have a virtually maintenance free home.
Hazlemere became major sponsors at Wycombe Wanderers, and still support events at the Club such as the Sportsman’s Dinners and Boxing Nights, given their head office and showroom is just up the hill in Cressex. The Blues progress into the Football League and immediate promotion to Division Two (as it was then) under Martin O’Neill obviously assisted me in getting sponsorship for the Club.
Hazlemere Windows also currently sponsor Beaconsfield SYCOB Football Club and Burnham Football Club, both towns where they once had high street showrooms. However, several years ago Hazlemere sold all its outlying showrooms and built a 4,000 square feet showroom in Wellington Road, Cressex, large enough to display several full size conservatories in both aluminium and UPVC.
Like Wycombe Wanderers (at present anyway), Hazlemere Windows are top of their league and both institutions are well entrenched within the local community. So if I had not worked at Wycombe Wanderers I may have never met the Directors of Hazlemere Windows, who have become close friends over the years, even after left Adams Park to go to Queens Park Rangers FC as Commercial Director in 2005. It was their friendly approach last year that encouraged me to join their team and well established family business earlier this year. I still make it to the majority of Wycombe Wanderers home matches, hoping this might be the season that sees promotion “back” to Coca Cola League One!

Mike Phillips, Wycombe Wanderers Football Club Promotions Manager mantra is “You’ve got to be in it to win it”, so we knew that given the explosion of social media, adding a Blog to our website is the right thing to do, given Hazlemere Windows rather privileged, established and trusted local brand position. The aim of “our” blog, therefore, is to be informative and helpful, and not just full of “us” and “sell”. We will be blogging about a wide range of issues, and not just replacement double glazing! So enjoy!
