It's happening.

Thank fuck

Has anyone come out and actually said no takeover no game? 

Obviously the players can choose not to play but is it a requirement from efl

how about 1800 people invading the pitch at half time, as no beer is served

Only one who said it in those words more or less was Oztumer in that Instagram message. I assume that meant the takeover needed to be done so players could be paid so that they would play though.

Yet they have been paid partially before the takeover so not sure where it stands now.

So unlikely but the takeover could not be finalised and the game could still happen 

players wouldn’t agree to play

Putting myself in their shoes, having been sold the idea with the rest of us that the deal is imminent and then constant let downs, I wouldn’t want to be taken for a ride after being convinced to play on the condition the takeover is done, then on match day it’s still not done.

I would if 1800 people had paid money to buy tickets and travel 3-4 hours down the motorway to watch me.

I’d hope they’d consider that in their thinking but with only a few senior players to make that decision, who are all probably pissed off with the situation, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a team of kids at best.

I get that that, was clearing up if it was an efl requirement or not 

If I’m still alive in 20 years, I’ll remember them that played at Wycombe and I’ll remember them cunts that didn’t. 😁

Wycombe won’t know what to do

White Hot 3

Nothing to worry about tomorrow, we'll be fine.

Fucking Phoenix from the flames. 

I don’t doubt a few of kids aren’t ready for 1st team football just yet but it’s a fuckin good chance to show what they can do. 

I will be delighted to see 11 players giving their all for the cause too. It’s been far too long since we’ve seen that

One of my lads has a mate who plays in the 18s and who apparently might be starting tomorrow. Lot of pressure on them but there will be some who thrive and grow because of it, let's hope it is most of them.

So only seniors Alnwick, Mathews, Lowe ,Murphy & otzumer

Does that monster still play for these if so he will have fun against the kids 

Cometh the hour.....

Seriously, who cares

Get the game on, hopefully we start properly next week

 

 

 

In all seriousness 

The Coventry game was always the real target for everything to be in place

Tomorrow is a bit of a circus that we will be able to look back on with a weird fondness one day

Akinfenwa... Yes. Red card and/or hat trick waiting to happen.
