YOU have probably heard by now that Booker Airfield is probably the preferred site for a new (20,000?) stadium to house Wycombe Wanderers and London Wasps. Well, let me tell you that I and most of the people I have spoken to in the area DO NOT want it.
Ah ha, I hear you say, you Booker lot are just a crowd of NIMBYs. Yes, we are and proud of it. We like Booker Airfield the way it is and we do not want the problem of even heavier traffic not to mention heaven knows how many cars parked willy nilly clogging up our roads.
Imagine the people in Claymoor Park and Old Hornes Lane have their homes blighted by having a stadium built within a stone’s throw of them. Now, how is the stadium to be funded? By selling off our assets. Yes, your assets and my assets. Do I need to remind you of who pays the salaries of our servants at the council? Yes, we do and yet they have the breathtaking audacity to use our money to subsidise Mr Hayes and London Wasps. Mr Hayes says that if Wasps do not have a bigger stadium, they will have to leave the area. What do you say to that? I say BYEEEEEE. Go back to where you belong and find some other mug to finance your stadium.
BP Wilson, Cressex Road, High Wycombe.
Editor’s note: Wycombe District Council has stressed that any deal would be an ‘investment’ and would not incur additional cost to the taxpayer
