Ten things...
Wycombe
1 By the time those Romans arrived in the Wye valley, they found prehistoric buildings and ancient earthworks on surrounding hills. Apparently it was an early attempt to find a pitch with a slope of much less than a steep gradient.
2 In the 17th century somebody made a multiple folding chair and sat on it for 90 minutes. As it didn't collapse, people have been using that particular prototype as a model for all-seater stadiums since.
3 In 1761 the Adams brothers built a 'little market house' called Shambles. Its curious octagonal shape was once considered as a futuristic footprint for the shambolic new Wembley project development.
4 Wanderers evolved from a furniture industry workers side and by 1887 were ready to go with complete self assembly, plus a flat pack four.
5 Before WW1 when everyone else was turning pro, they joined the Great Western Suburban League. Obviously there was more money in knocking up chairs for Furniture Village retail parks, leaving sport suitably cushioned.
6 Wanderers were the epitome of folk holding an amateur ethic from the time FL third division was regionalised in 1921 right through to 1993. They patently weren't just in it full time for discounted DFS sponsorship money.
7 For decades a match committee met every Monday morning to fill in a team sheet for Saturday. Loakes Park may have been democratic but it took all week to reach eleven decisions.
8 In 1969 they found a manager to take the club to top of the Isthmian League. Of course he had a special, if not to say official chair as a new Wycombe artisan with sole professional status.
9 Adams Park was opened in 1990 on an AONB. As a Conference club they had succeeded at the 14th attempt to gain planning permission. Talk about prolonged discussion and an exchange of environmental viewpoints by definition.
10 In the nineties Wycombe were on the up. A number of big name managers took to the chair, then furthered careers elsewhere. As in football generally, none especially tended to sit around for too long.
