Wycombe Wanderers co-owner Missy Couhig has described the club’s promotion push to the Championship as ‘incredibly exciting’, following the Chairboys’ 2-0 win over MK on May 5.
The win has given the Adams Park club the advantage going into the second leg on Sunday, May 8, which will see 2,000 Wanderers fans make the trip up the A4010 and A418 to Stadium: MK.
Great to spend this afternoon at Wycombe’s #EFLSeasonLaunch and to celebrate the great work of all the volunteers around the club! Also grabbed a word with Rob and Missy Couhig as well as Gareth Ainsworth #wwfc #chair pic.twitter.com/YUhjbgQ3tq

It will be the third time this season that Wycombe will go to north Buckinghamshire.
The Couhigs are now in their third season of owing the club, which has seen them challenge for the Championship twice, as well as have a stint in the second tier.
Speaking exclusively to the Bucks Free Press, Missy Couhig said:” This is so incredibly exciting! I could not be happier to be here.
Can’t help getting excited about where @wwfcofficial is going. @RCouhig , @petecouhig and Missy exude class, enthusiasm, commercial acumen and expertise, jand drive and I’m still amazed at our good fortune in the Couhig’s buying the club.

“The guys have worked so incredibly hard.
“I would never have dreamed a couple of years ago that would be here twice having to miss it the first time, but now we’re experiencing it live and this is amazing.
“When we saw the fans hold up the lights, we not long went to a concert in Baton Rouge, Louisiana “this week and it was Garth Brooks.
Have lost internet connection so will get the articles up tomorrow. Spoke to the boss, Jacobson, Missy Couhig (who is so enthusiastic about Wycombe) plus more. Have a great evening everyone! #Chairboys pic.twitter.com/m7pYro9l6R
