THE CHAIRBOYS NEWS FROM WYCOMBE WANDERERS TRUST One of the many benefits of being a <strong>Wycombe</strong> <strong>Wanderers</strong> Trust member is access to exclusive events – like the thoroughly entertaining Q&A with Manager, Gareth Ainsworth, the night after the 1-0 win at home in the preseason friendly against Leicester. You can watch the full interview by joining the Trust today. In the meantime, here’s a taste of what happened. Nigel Kingston (Chair): So, it was a great start last night, really, wasn’t it? I mean, we won, so you must have some interesting thoughts about the coming season. Gareth: Yeah, I mean it’s preseason still, so, over the years, we know that we can’t take anything for granted off pre-season results but it was a good showing from the boys, the organisation and some of the young boys coming in, the new signings that we’ve got. I think they’re they’ve added to the squad again. I think we’ve improved this squad again this season from last season. And thank Rob (Couhig); he’s helping that and Andrew Howard is back involved, and Pete Couhig and Missy, obviously, behind the scenes working. So, it’s a better club than we were last year, even though obviously we’re down a level, but we’re definitely a better outfit. The training ground and stadium I think is evidence, for everyone to see and hopefully on the pitch as well, we can do the business. So, yeah, it excited me last night what we showed on the pitch – really well organised and some exciting prospects for the future. NK: How much does it mean to you having fans back for the first time in over a year? GA: The first question they (the reporters) asked me was “What a great result” and I said, “Forget the result, look at the fans being back, hearing the sound of the cheers and that’s probably about 16 months of iFollow coming out in frustration over 90 minutes.” It was brilliant to see them all back – familiar faces, new faces... we’ve got this group now that I haven’t seen before coming up with shirts on, teenagers, which you’re thinking ‘is this is now the start of of a new generation of <strong>Wycombe</strong> fans coming through?’. I think there’s a great feeling around the town, not just the Club but the town as well. I used to walk round the town when I first signed here and nobody knew who I was, and now I can’t NOT get stopped ten times in <strong>Wycombe</strong> if I walk round. I’m not saying it’s not great, I love that, don’t get me wrong, but it’s great for the football club that people are actually taking notice now and we’re finally on the map and I’m just not allowed to call this club a little club any more. We are this big club in League One and we want to be a contender.
