Missy Couhig first arrived at Wycombe in 2019, and has since worked for the club from afar, but she was back at Adams Park this week at the EFL Season Launch.
In the first time she has spoken to the media, she admitted that it’s great to see all the improvements to the ground and shop in person.
Sitting on the Board of Directors, she has had to play her role through Zoom since the start of the pandemic, but her return to Adams Park on a matchday is something she is very much looking forward to.

Providing a better match day experience and improving the range of merchandise is a part of her role, and Mrs Couhig has been working hard on behind the scenes over the past year.
She said: "We were involved every day, so while we weren’t physically here, thanks to the magic of Zoom, we were here every day through the entire year and lockdown meeting with different people.
“It’s not a one-day event to get a new scoreboard and get a new pitch done.
“We have lots of great help and Pete was amazing, but every day we were on the phone or email for different items trying to make sure everything works smoothly.
“A lot of the things I had ideas for and ordered I have not seen physically before walking in this week, so it's been a lot of fun playing with all the new stuff."
When first arriving at the club, she took the advice of people around her to see what areas the shop could expand into.

Missy Couhig continued: “I didn’t know what fans would want to purchase so people gave me their wish list and it was things like beach towels, baby bibs, dishes, dog leads and now every one of them is in the shop today.
“Of course, I have since got more lists from people but there’s always tomorrow and we can always improve."
With the opening game of the season edging closer, Mrs Couhig cannot wait to welcome fans back into Adams Park so they can see all the improvements for themselves.
She continued: “I’m so looking forward to the game, I think it will be an absolute celebration on Saturday.
“I will be in the shop this Saturday but I also want to have time to meet the fans and spend time in the village.
“I hope the fans enjoy it as much I plan to because the family atmosphere we have found here at Adams Park is so warm and so welcoming and we are just thrilled to be part of it and welcome you back into your own home.”
