New banners have been erected across the Adams Park terrace ahead of Wycombe Wanderers’ season opener against Exeter City.
Members of the 1887 Club, who are a group of supporters that aim to improve the atmosphere around the stadium, visited the Hillbottom Road venue on August 4 to put several decorations around the vicinity.
This comes after weeks of constructive and positive talks with the club’s delegates along with several supporters to try and make Adams Park more ‘homely’.
Love you @JackGrimmer

Additionally, Wycombe fans have collectively donated £1,500 for the banners to be produced, with additional flags to arrive at a later date for various other sections of the stadium.
This is one of many projects to try and make the club’s presence more dominant in the town, with the Hour Glass pub on Chapel Lane decorating its establishment in Wanderers shirts, scarves, flags and pennants.
The Flint Cottage opposite the train station has also become the away day boozer for travelling fans.
Speaking on Twitter, the 1887 group said: “When this group first started, we never dreamed this would happen.
🚨And they're up!🚨

The banners are now proudly on display.
Special thanks to @wwfcofficial for their help, @MightyFTN and @sillylittledrea for the amazing designs but above all thank you to all those who have helped fund this.
