[bigc]

Isn't it nearer to Bury?

 

[Gary Nelson]

does anyone know the way to Oldham?
I used to LOVE that joke

 

[Safeway]

can you get there on public transport?

The nearest you will get is Henley-on-Thames. Since High Wycombe became a rogue state in 1969, with it's own laws and EVERYTHING, you have to walk in and hire a bicycle. No motor-powered vehicles are allowed, apart from the 'Wycomber' Fire Brigade and ambulance service.

Follow the yellow brick road.

It's where they filmed that cult classic film starring Edward Woodward and Britt Ekland...

Ah, well I was coming from Huddersfield so yes, we're both right

It's difficult by public transport as it's miles from the nearest train station. Be warned - if you go by car it's in an industrial estate at the back of a housing estate. The parking is awful - I went last time we played there and parked about half a mile away. I was lucky though as I got there early.

Wycombe Wanderers' new stadium is in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

But I'm not sure whether they have a nearby duckpond.

The Council obviously have a sense of humour as they have a whole campaign for 'Oldham Together' which is used on adverts etc. For an example go to:

Its a bitch on the M40.
But I guess you won't take as many fans as we did , as you're not so close.

Loved the Wycombe games. Their top 5 or something attendances are all against Reading.

Like the chants of "we're the left side..." etc... followed by loads of Reading fans in the home end singing "we're the home end, we're the home end...". Quality days out.

Except losing 5-3 of course.

BTW - There really isn't anything in Wycombe. Its about the size of Shoreham.

on one of the football ground websites it says you can get a bus to the ground from the station, so result!

seems I'm having no luck tracking down my year 11 girl from comart though,lol
