Wycombe boss Gareth Ainsworth has revealed he ‘can’t wait’ for his side’s home match against Sheffield Wednesday on April 23.
The St George’s Day clash is the club’s final home game of the season and it happens to not only be against their promotion-rivals, but it’s also the side they registered their first-ever Championship win over.
Our highest average attendance at Adams Park since the 2002/03 season is now guaranteed.

Your support has been phenomenal.
One giant effort needed this Saturday. Can we sell out Adams Park against Sheffield Wednesday?
We're well on the way. Book your place today.#WYCvSHW
That victory is in fact the Chairboys’ solitary win over the Owls in seven attempts, but as the Adams Park outfit continue their brilliant unbeaten run in the league, it will be anyone’s game on Saturday.
Ainsworth said: “I can’t wait, and this is what football is all about.
“I remember playing in some huge games against Sheffield Wednesday in my career, one being at Hillsborough in 2003 when QPR got promoted.
“So my connection with Sheffield Wednesday is huge.
It's been quite a year for the Adams Park car park.
