Adams Park has been the home for Wycombe Wanderers since 1990, and has seen Championship football. But, why are attendances falling behind, despite recent success?

How far can Bromley's academy graduate go?
Swindon have to be sensible. Where would Sinclair fit into the systems and squad put together in pretty regimental fashion by manager Ian Holloway and his recruitment team these past two-and-a-half months?

Alex Hartridge deserves another chance at Adams Park.
18.07.25Opinion
Smith may be 30 years old, and may only have one year remaining on his current deal, but his value to the Robins is vastly more than the sum of his contractual parts.
17.07.25Opinion
Allowing this situation to take the appearance of a disagreement between an 18-year-old and one of the most experienced managers in the game feels like a dereliction of duty by those charged with looking after the forward.
30.06.25Opinion
People move jobs all the time, and in isolation each of these departures would not necessarily cause a ripple. But when five are seen so close together, there is a reasonable question that needs to be asked: why?
16.06.25Opinion
Renovation is closer now than it has been since the construction of the Don Rogers Stand in 1994. And yet, there is every chance the fans will object. What a mad state of affairs we have found ourselves in.
03.06.25Opinion
Reading the report blind, it would be very difficult to envisage a club on its record fifth straight year in the bottom division, supporters warring with themselves, and the ownership struggling to maintain or win back trust of disillusioned fans.
20.05.25Opinion
Well, that didn’t last long. From heralded signing in February 2025 to goodbye by the end of the season, Harry McKirdy’s stay in BR2 was all too brief.

REVIEW: The book, like the man, finds it hard to sit still. It bounces between thoughts on a whim. It takes inspiration from a broad spectrum of muses – from the paranormal to psychologists to players past and present.
09.05.25Opinion
This forum was a far cry from the chaos of January 2024, or the confusion of September 2023. But it underlined a fundamental split in how different sets of supporters view the club, and how the club views different sets of supporters.
02.05.25Opinion
What we do know is that there has been no official word from Bromley to confirm that Andy has signed a contract extension, and he recently lost his long-time assistant, Alan Dunne, with the former Millwall man stepping away from the game for the foreseeable future.
16.04.25Opinion
It has become difficult for some supporters to believe that a club with this track record will make the right appointments, and set the right standards, for a project that will define their football-going experiences for the rest of their lives.
Holloway’s resurrection job has given Swindon the longest possible pre-season for 2025/26. They will have nearly five months to prepare, yet it is hard to shake the feeling that the opportunity is already being wasted.
27.03.25Opinion
Ian Holloway's contract, the backroom stucture, the future of a dozen players, redevelopment plans... Swindon have a chance to get ahead of the game for 2025/26, so what is the hold up?
19.03.25Opinion
Club, manager and fans are all ready to take the relationship further, and yet there is seemingly stasis. Why? What is getting in the way? And how long can this go on before it becomes detrimental to the Swindon cause.
12.03.25Opinion
Trust between a section of Town supporters and the current ownership continues to be undermined by missed deadlines and public perception. It's got to the point where an upturn on the pitch will not be enough to win supporters around.
19.02.25Opinion
What is all the fuss about? What background is essential to know when discussing this subject? What are the major concerns? And how will this all play out?
18.02.25Opinion
Fans who want to protest have a right to do so: the club and the police have accepted as much. Fans who do not want to protest are entitled to their views. Neither set has the god-given right to abuse or belittle the other.
11.02.25Opinion
Enjoyment has been rarer than a Frenchman’s steak. Optimism has proven elusive. Dawns have too often been false, promises have too often been broken. And so the year has ended in scenes of protest and division, with the fabric of this club’s community feeling fundamentally fractured.

On this weekend of all weekends, it is not particularly surprising that when reading the headline ‘red warning of risk to life in the south west’ my mind did not go to the poor Somerset towns about to be besieged by winter winds.
06.12.24Opinion
Should Morecambe better Town’s result, when they visit Tranmere Rovers, Swindon will be left to prop up everyone else. Season’s greetings, all. Here’s a mince pie and a Tuesday-night trip to Gateshead.
02.12.24Opinion
It is not fun anymore. When football is no longer fun, and if supporters cannot identify with what is put in front of them, everything falls apart. Make no mistake, everything is on the edge of falling apart.
