    If Wing was only on a one year contract he has obviously refused to sign again, I would think the club had no option but to release him, could be the same with Nick Freeman

    Wing's contract expired. Obviously thinks he can get Championship football as a free agent

    I wouldn’t be surprised, plus we may see some quality loan signings come the other way.

    We seemed to keep clear of loan signings until last January

    Quality loans seems to be the way to go to get promoted, particularly from the Premiership. But then what happens when they go back?

    Unfortunately Premiership clubs seem to send their youngsters out on loan to Championship clubs or big L1 clubs that looked destined for the Championship

    Attracting higher attendance looks a major challenge. How much marketing effort and finance goes into this?

    They should come up with some incentives to attract those from further afield. It would be better to offer some free entries rather than have a half empty stadium. Obviously it would have to be to attract people that otherwise wouldn't have come. Don't know how to control that. We need some creative thinkers to find a way of getting more through the gates. Do some research to find out why people aren't coming. Advertise in the town and outer villages/towns. Do something because with those small attendances we have a problem; the owners might opt out for a start if we don't have enough income to afford the players we need. There is scope for a lot more income at Adams Park outside football. How much is that being tapped. Good to see they are renting out the ground for squads of 30 players to experience playing at Adams Park. Must admit I was tempted to get a squad from France and arrange a tournament with squads from England. Hopefully all the slots will be taken up. It will be a major disappointment if they aren't

    Havn't lived in Wycombe for a very long afraid I can not comment on why people are not turning up, especially when you look at 27,000 odd at Wembly in May they can't all live in France like you Ron or Southampton & Cardiff like a couple of us on here.

    Buy a season ticket before the 19th May, 12noon to secure your place for the 23/24 campaign at a frozen price!
