Wycombe Wanderers
Directions
Adams Park is located on the outskirts of Wycombe
on the Sands Industrial Estate. Leave the M40 at Junction 4 and take the A4010 towards
Aylesbury. Turn left at the 4th roundabout into Lane End Road and then continue
straight down this road. Cross another roundabout and into Hillbottom Road. The ground is
down at the very bottom of this road. On my last visit I noticed that there were
a number of AA road signs labeled 'London Wasps' which also pointed the way to
the ground.
There is a fair sized car park located at the ground
which costs £3 per car, or some of the industrial units
provide match day parking (also at around £3). As there is only one road that leads from
the stadium, I have heard that it can be a nightmare leaving the official car park
at full time. I would recommend therefore, parking in one of the industrial
units that line Hillbottom Road towards the ground. I did this and got away alright.
Pubs
Neil Young informs me 'The nearest pub to Adams Park, is
the Hourglass in Sands (about a 15 minute walk, from the end of the road up to the
ground). Away fans are normally okay in small groups except for big games or local
derbies'. Martin Redfern a visiting Scunthorpe
United supporter adds; 'we arrived early at the ground and were able to go
into the Supporters Club at the ground, which cost £2 to enter. The Club is
one of the suites at the far end of the Main
Stand. It was a
spacious room with 2 bars and food. The atmosphere was extremely relaxed
and friendly with both home and away supporters'.
Nigel Cockram a visiting Bristol Rovers fan
adds; 'There is a great pub, (but only for the
lads) called the White Horse, at 95 West Wycombe
Road, which is the A40, about 1 & 1/2 miles from the ground.
It opens at 12.00 on Saturdays, has one real ale, BUT has gorgeous
strippers from 12.30.
Entry is free, but each girl does a collection after each act.
I thoroughly recommend this pub. Directions
- if in a car, find the Hourglass pub, near
the ground which is in Chapel Lane, follow Chapel Lane going away from the
ground, until it's end, turn right into West Wycombe Road (A40), the White
Horse is about 100 yards on the right hand side.
If walking from the Station, you have to pass the White Horse on the
way to the ground'.
By Train
If coming by train into
Wycombe station, then either take a Taxi (costs about £5) or get the football special
bus that runs from the station to the ground on match days. The Football Special
(No.501)
departs the Railway Station for the stadium at 13.55 on Saturday matchdays and
18.40 for midweek games (cost about £2.50 return). The Special returns 10
minutes after the final whistle.
