EditorialWait! The people in the back didn’t hear me…Wycombe is in the Championship!A year later and I’m still basking in the warm glow of our Wembley glory. And why not?Many fans of lower league clubs go their entire lives without seeing their team win a majorhonour, or compete higher than the bottom two divisions, so we should absolutely savourthat incredible moment in our history and be thankful we were there to witness it, even ifwe did have to settle for watching it in our living rooms, as opposed to Wembley Stadium.We were lucky enough to witness Wycombe Wanderers win the League One Playoff Final,lucky enough to see Joe Jacobson’s penalty hit the back of the net, lucky enough to see MattBloomfield hold the trophy aloft and lucky enough to see Wycombe Wanderers compete inthe Championship for the first time in our history. Who cares if that meant we had to watchit all on a screen? Many loyal fans of other clubs will never get to see their team reach suchdizzying heights - I’d previously feared I was going to be one of them. Having missed out onthe Martin O’Neill glory days of the early nineties, the only silverwear I’d seen a Wycombecaptain lift was the Berks and Bucks Senior Cup in 2012 and as the years passed, I had begunto wonder if beating Chesham United on penalties was as good as it was ever going to getfor me. Even now, twelve months on, I still worry that this is all a dream and I’m going towake up to find it’s the 14 th of July 2020 and Oxford won 3-0.I personally haven’t been to a live game since Bolton away on 15 th February 2020 and I can’teven remember the last time I sat down to write an editorial. It’s been an extraordinaryeighteen months and we still don’t know when we’ll all be able to get back into Adams Parkto cheer on our beloved Chairboys. This also means we don’t as yet know when we’re nextgoing to be able to bring out a copy of The Wanderer. I never thought I’d say this, but what Iwouldn’t give to be standing out on Hillbottom Road in the rain, with people coming up tome and asking ‘is that the matchday programme?’ In the meantime, we’ve put together thisspecial promotion issue (only a year late!) to celebrate our historic achievement and paytribute to our Wembley heroes. Please spread the word to your fellow Chairboys that thereis a free online edition. If they’ve never read The Wanderer before, now is their chance toenjoy a free sample before we hopefully return to normal sometime soon.Our first ever season in the second tier may have ended in relegation, but we can hold ourheads high for how well we played and how valiantly we battled. I have full confidence wewill find our way back into the Championship and when we do, we can look forward to allwatching it happen together, as it should be. We may not have the best players, the mostfans, the richest owners, or the biggest stadium, but I believe there is no-one in the FootballLeague who can match us for desire, commitment, team spirit and togetherness. The futurelooks incredibly bright for Wycombe Wanderers. This isn’t the end of something, it’s thebeginning; The Chairboys are coming - and the people at the back are going to hear us.Forever Chairboy.Jonny4
