[Glover]

Good Morning everyone

Accurate assessment. Nothing team, nothing town.

Oh, right. So you hate chairs do you?

Standing desks, the only way to go.

Yes. I'm a pouffe man.

Wycombe's main rivals are Colchester. When they were both in the conference in the early 90s, they finished the season on the same number of points, but Colchester were promoted as champions due to a superior goal difference. There were no play-offs in those days so Wycombe missed out. I think they easily won promotion the next season. However, Wycombe v Colchester isn't a derby, they are just rivals due to their history.

I think some people confuse rivalry with derby when they are really two distinct things. A derby is a game between two rivals who are geographically close. Oxford v Wycombe is a derby, it's just not a particularly important one to us as the rivalry isn't that big. It's when there's a big rivalry at a derby game that it means the most to fans. Take Liverpool for instance. Their biggest derby match is against Everton, but their biggest rivals are Man Utd.

Couldn't give a s**t about them. Take the 3 points off them and get them relegated so they can play there proper rivals next season.

You know your irrelevant club when your striker is more famous then your whole club.

And that’s only because of the closeness the caravans they travel in by their horses isn’t to far so not much need for refreshing their horses until they reach the stadium

Extra cash for the club so good stuff. Hopefully they go home disappointed.

Le retour au stade des trois côtés - Oxford (a) - crowd speculation - Match 39 - Sat 30.03.19

"Unfinished Business" How big will the crowd be at the ground with a void? Will we make Much noise? To which club will the game be more important?

So the Oxford dictionary says:

Derby = A sports match between two rival teams from the same area
Rival = A person or thing competing with another for the same objective or for superiority in the same field of activity.

Therefore according to the definitions of our venerable local institution - the Wycombe game is a derby. It's just not one we care about all that much (other than we want those three points so we can all relax...…)

A few seasons ago (when wwfc basically lied on social media- blaming tvp for not allowing more away tickets, when it was wwfc with input from ainsworth refusing addition tickets for oufcs visit, i think?) they were trying to ramp up the game by calling oufc noisey neighbours....despite limiting oufc support to only behind the goal in a 3/4 empty ground we won that one at adams park

That far but someone like Barnsley that would be to
Far for them

i'm not going now, the thought of Wycombe taking the NS has me quivering, then they'll destroy the East Stand,leaving the left side to sort it out

Entire wycombe home support coming it appears ?..... after the limited tickets they give oufc for away games there, why are oufc allowing them 1800+ tickets? .....shouldnt the kick off be moved to 9am or similar?

it's their cup final



again........

If you have to use a dictionary to define it,then its not a derby!

I sat with the Wycombe fans at the September game. Friendly enough but fundamentally clueless about football. I consider them to be the Tranmere Rovers to our Liverpool. They don’t like Mous because he bombed them out.

Ainsworth continues to wind up the M40 El Clasico clock but we’re not having it. Good.
