Stats: Wycombe 2 BRFC 1 - 39% - 61% - Shots 15-14 - On Target 5-5 - Corners 3-7 - Yellows 3-2 - Referee: Sunny Sukhvir Gill - Attendance: 6,664 Wycombe 6th BRFC 10th I saw very different stats and questioned that so thank you for posting this. Thing is, it’s goals that win and we just gave them 2 horrid goals. I don’t normally have hate on any team but i do for Wycombe. Horrible club and seemingly fans that look to start arguments. It does , sometimes, make me wish for the days of the Tote. I shall leave it at that |

Hopefully they’ll sink like a stone to somewhere like the Hellenic league. Really dislike them as a club - almost as much as the s**theads and more than Swindle. Am so gutted we blew our chance to pay it back and send them on their way when we lost at home to Mansfield. Can’t think they’ll get more than about 2000 at home when back in their rightful place in non league I am sure i saw that they were either for sale or had been bought. I’d really rather enjoy seeing them do a Yeovil but Ainsworth, for all of his strangeness, seems to know how to deal with what he has. I know this will not be liked but i do see some resemblances to us, when at Twerton. |

I think its quite sweet they give us so much time and attention. The notion of a rivalry suggests that both sides have a comparable history, status and standing in the game.....something like Woking or Maidenhead FC would be more up their street. The daft thing is that if they didn’t act like such weapons grade bell ends Gasheads would likely have a bit of a soft spot for them. Small club in small catchment area punching well above their weight also with distinctive quartered kit. Should stick to annoying geographical rivals like Reading or oxford. Now I’ll have real schadenfreude when their bubble eventually bursts and it will sooner or later. Bit like Yeovil. Really wanted them to do well before they became a league club and got way above themselves. Now I am quite happy to see them on the verge of conference South and then deeper into non league. Compare that to Cheltenham and FGR whose fans seem mostly to have conducted themselves with dignity not bankrupt though, as we know it can be fairly easy to get out of that but playing at the level you suggest would be suitable. |

Whether or not he’d be able to replicate that elsewhere is open to question but suspect someone will take a punt on him at some point. That could be the point at which they implode especially if they don’t replace him well. I get what you are saying about the Twerton comparison but their facilities are much better than we’ve ever had and we still drew from a bigger catchment area even when playing 20 miles away from it. Also like to think that we didn’t behave like Billy Big Bollocks to other clubs though WBA fans might not have such a high opinion of us. Lots of our peer clubs seem to respect us which for me is the telling thing. Thinking of the likes of proper clubs like Port Vale, Cardiff, Lincoln, Rochdale, Blackpool etc not plastic clubs like Wycombe |

Find a box of Quality Streets, grab a glass (or bottle) of Baileys, and console yourself with the insight that they will soon go the way of Rushden and Diamonds. |

I doubt Wycombe are just one man's play thing, even when Ainsworth eventually moves on they'll survive as a league club in some capacity. Not really sure we have any issues with Wycombe fans or present owner/manager just the "lightning" issue sticks in the mind. |

Think you are mostly right but they have proved annoyingly resilient. Bit like a turd that refuses to flush. Hopefully they’ll get waterlogged at some point and be gone. Good to have a few teams to dislike as well as the 82ers |

Lots of our peer clubs seem to respect us which for me is the telling thing. Thinking of the likes of proper clubs like Port Vale, Cardiff, Lincoln, Rochdale, Blackpool etc not plastic clubs like Wycombe Agreed. I used Twerton mainly due to their really quite poor attendances, especially given what i feel has been overachieving but so did we, overachieve i mean, we were better than the sum of our parts and Twerton then became a fortress. Their fans seems to wish to feel disliked and are doing a good job, in that aim. It’s nice to feel that Rovers, now post Barton appointment, are being talked of well. Let’s be honest, it’s always nice to be liked although i get the feeling our Joey doesn’t care. I was worried that this ended with his appointment but news and sport TV and media seem to be talking well of us, again. I don’t hate on people/teams in normal circumstances but Wycombe , well, they do themselves no favours. I really hope we do have some decent players lined up, for the next window although i do not think we will be close to a play off berth, not unless we do get some good upgrades and i am not sure what WAQ is prepared to spend. I really hope to be proved wrong. We have some top sides to play and this will show our true position. I wish i had the confidence that others have. Totally with you re proper clubs. Once again though, Ainsworth seems to know how to get the most from that team, fair play for that. |

Not really sure we have any issues with Wycombe fans or present owner/manager just the "lightning" issue sticks in the mind. Not sure if you do twitter but they have some really strange people who pass comment and they to provoke. Funny really as although above us, they do not seem to be in the same league. Odd is being kind |

They do seem a particularly odd bunch.
The psychology of football fans is fascinating. I've noticed how all the bigger clubs forums (Ipswich, sheff wed, derby) have been a lot more respectful towards us than the smaller club's. Wycombe seem to have taken it too another level.
Maybe it's a backs to the walls reaction, maybe they feel a closer knit fanbase and group psychology takes them further from reality. I've really no idea but it's stood out a mile on forums this year.
I guess the upside is the crash that will hit them, I can't see Ainsworth being there much longer, I think I saw that they have the oldest team in the league as well, it could unravel very quickly.

Like i said, odd is being kind and it’s obvious that many do not understand the lengths some will go, to find you. Seem to have some very young angry agent provocateurs. The guy who put up the sign, from Yeovil certainly learned the hard way, that sometimes it’s better to not provoke and especially when not far away. There is banter then there is stupidity and some of the prolific posters fall into the latter group |

They're not your typical quick rise and fall non-league club though, so all this talk of them dropping back to where they belong is pure nonsense. Their record is better than ours, with an FA Cup semi and a League Cup semi outshining our three FA Cup quarter finals and two League Cup quarter finals. They've also been in the Championship and have a decent stadium, and they only became a league club in 92-93 - seventy years after us. They played some decent football under Martin O'Neil, not the s**thousery that Ainsworth dishes up. We let ourselves get dragged into that and threw three points away (imo).

As mentioned before, Coburn looks offside. Like all good strikers, he plays on the edge, takes a chance, and it often comes off.
I see we wore last year's away shirt. Not sure whether that was because Wycombe's colours clash with both our current home and away shirts, or we wanted to make it an aesthetically pleasing 'clash of the quarters'.
Tonight we'll be playing at home in our away shirts, again for awareness of the charity Shelter.
As to Wycombe Wanderers the team, I really couldn't give a stuff about them. I wish them no ill - they mean nothing to me.

Agreed and you are right, whether I like it or not. I am not great on any football history but I am shocked to see you say we only became a league club in, as you date it, 1922/23. Am I right in that please ? Thanks |

1920 when the league formed a third division. We were Southern League and were invited to join along with Tottenham, among others. Getting relegated enabled us to join the league under our own steam :-). Seventy years give or take 2 or 3

While on the theme of get-up-our-nose clubs, Accrington Stanley were one of the founding members of the football league.  |
