Wycombe Wanderers Supporters Trust
Update re Cambridge United

Wycombe Wanderers Supporters Trust
supports the Cambridge "Fans United Day"

Cambridge Fans United (CFU), the Cambridge United supporters' trust, designated the match again Wycombe Wanderers on Saturday 19th March 2005 as a "Fans United Day". Football fans from all over the country were invited to attend the game in a bid to raise some funds for the cash strapped U's as well as to show solidarity with other financially troubled clubs.

Cambridge United is struggling on and off the pitch. The club currently sits 92nd in the Football League, facing relegation to the Nationwide Conference and the loss of vital grants from the Football League. On the financial front, the club is in dire straits, and CFU have set out to raise £500,000 to keep the troubled club alive over the next six months.

A fanzine, United in Endeavour, has been produced to help raise funds. As an act of solidarity, the board members of Wycombe Wanderers Supporters Trust purchased 500 of the £1.00 fanzines personally. They hope to recover this money by selling the fanzines on to supporters of Wycombe Wanderers.

A cheque for £500 was presented to Cambridge Fans United on the pitch at half time on Saturday 19th March - see the photograph above.

The board of Wycombe Wanderers Supporters Trust asks that Wycombe fans back the board of WWST in making their gesture of solidarity by purchasing the fanzines from Wycombe Wanderers Supporters Trust.

Thank you to those who purchased the approximately 300 fanzines that were sold at the match against Cambridge.

The remaining 200 fanzines will be on sale price £1.00 at the match against Northampton on Friday 25th March 2005 from the following outlets:
The WWISC table in Hillbottom Road;
The Programme Caravan;
Trust members in the Vere Suite;
Trust members in the Woodlands Lounge; and
Trust members within the ground.

Copies can also be obtained by writing to the Trust at 1 Allen Drive, Walters Ash, High Wycombe, Bucks HP14 4SS price £1.50 to include postage and packaging.
