Wycombe Wanderers have confirmed they are keen to ‘work with supporters’ following a rise in anti-social behaviour at Adams Park.
This comes after three fans were ejected from the stadium in the Chairboys’ 4-3 win over Morecambe on October 2, a match that saw Gareth Ainsworth’s men come back from 2-0 down.
To tackle this, the club have banned musical instruments from the ground ‘for the foreseeable future’.

An extract from a statement that was published on October 7, two days before Wanderers’ next home game against Gillingham, the club reads: “Wycombe Wanderers are keen to work with its supporters to create a more harmonious environment on the terrace, due to a rise in anti-social behaviour at recent matches and has made the decision to ban all musical instruments from Adams Park for the foreseeable future.
“The club has taken on board feedback from supporters in the terrace, and from those who travel to away games, and recently employed a fan in a mediating role in the terrace in an attempt to calm tensions.
“However, following the ejection of three home fans at last weekend’s game against Morecambe, as well as a recent decline in ticket sales in the terrace, the club feels that it is now time to take action and temporarily ban the use of instruments across the stadium.”
The club also confirmed that the situation will be ‘monitored’ and that fans will be updated ‘of any change in policy in this area in the future.’
The statement continues: “The club hopes that this move will encourage more fans to buy tickets to help pack out the terrace, and asks all supporters to work together to generate the best possible atmosphere to spur the team on to victory.”
The match against Gillingham on Saturday will kick-off at 3pm.
