WANDERERS’ match against Plymouth Argyle this afternoon kicked off six minutes late after the Devon club complained Wycombe’s kit was dangerous.

Argyle boss Derek Adams noticed the Blues’ GPS devices, which the players wear under their shirt to provide data on what ground the players have covered, was protruding out of the back of their shirts.

He says the hard edges of the device are dangerous and sought clarification before the kick off.

This led to a six minute delay on the pitch in full view of the fans while Blues secretary Kelly Francis produced an email confirming Wanderers had been given permission to wear the GPS which is fitted into a bra-like garment under their kit.

Plymouth boss Adams said: “The Wycombe players had GPS systems on and we had to get clarification whether they are allowed to use that.

“It was a hard object and it was sticking out of their backs. They provided an email saying they had clarification from the League to wear them but we will wait and see the outcome because it is obviously a dangerous piece pf equipment. It is a hard bit of equipment in somebody’s back and if somebody goes in to head it then that could be dangerous. You are not allowed to wear ring rings or anything dangerous on the pitch.

“I first realised they were wearing it when I was in the tunnel. There was a bulge in the back and the equipment was sticking out of some body’s jersey.

“They had a document saying it is allowed but I don’t think it should be. It’s a hard piece of equipment and there’s a number of things that could go wrong.”

Blues boss Gareth Ainsworth said: “Ainsworth said: “We have been told we can wear them. We have been told that it is safe by the FA to wear them this year so we are only going on what we’ve been told by the FA. If people think it is dangerous then they have probably got to lodge that with the FA and they will have to look at this because if there is anything dangerous we don’t want it happening out there on the football pitch.

“The GPS data has been vital for us this season. We’ve got the kit on loan, we don’t own them, but the data we get from it is really good. We are trying to up the levels of what we do here so I was a bit disappointed that the officials didn’t really know what was going on and that they needed written confirmation before the game so fair play to our secretary for getting it, albeit past three o’clock.”
