There is an ACTUAL topic dealing with EXACTLY that question (I hope that doesn’t sound too precious).

Travel from High Wycombe roughly about 7-8 games a season, no links to Warrington fell in love with Rugby League in 95 been supporting Wire since then.

Great commitment!

Especially when you have top flight RU teams like Saracens and Northampton (comparatively) on your doorstep.

Nice one, Been traveling to Wycombe from Warrington for near on 40 years.
Family - in-laws ‘darn sarf’.

Been to loads of Wycombe Wanderers games - like the ground and set up there. Reminds me more of a rugby league ground - family atmosphere.

Keep up the good work!

We try to do Wire Friday night games when Wycombe are playing up north, stay in Warrington the night for the fantastic pubs you have then onto the Wycombe game on the Saturday afternoon.
Once did Hull away on the Friday night then traveled across country to watch Wycombe in Morecambe, stayed in Blackpool till Monday then traveled home. Love it when we make the Challenge Cup Final seeing my home town full of primrose & blue as it’s only a few train stops from Wembley.

Where are those then mate?

I was brought up in Warrington and have been going back for years, and even I don't think we have (many) decent pubs - especially not in the town centre.

First off the price of a pint is a lot cheaper We love The Lower Angel the real ale selection is good, proper old school boozer and also 9Gallon. The Looking Glass then onto The Kings Head before the match you can’t go wrong.
