She's Lost Control
Today it is exactly 60 years since Frank Adams opened his wallet, pulled out the Visa Electron and said "Give me a Loakes Park with fries, Wycombe's gonna own it." Yes, the greatest benefactor in the club's history (even better than miracle man Brian Kane) is a person who should always be remembered by any Chairboys fan and we are lucky that until the club find a new sponsor, the ground will be called Adams Park, or the former Causeway Stadium, or Wasps' ground. A fitting tribute.
1947 eh? The rebuilding, the austerity, the NHS, it was a time of gestures and Franco's real estate gift was nothing if not a sign of the times. Fast forward 60 years and things have changed a little. No more will supporters get to see the player of the season being announced on the pitch. Instead, a cool £65 will see you get a slap-up roast dinner and a droning procession of club officials before a bored overrated player accepts a trophy and vows to himself to get a transfer in the summer even if involves moving to the Isthmian League or Poland.
Everything has a price now at Adman's Park and in an era when it is technically illegal to send your friend details of a goal on a text message from the ground, we should be glad that it is still (currently) possible to breathe air at the ground for free. And what about the supporters' representative Keith Blagbrough? Has he come out and said that hiding the player of the season award like it's a Jew in a Dutch attic is wrong? No, he has not, he is too busy seeing how many roast potatoes he can fit on his solid gold WWFC fork. Nice work.
