Now that the fixtures have been officially unveiled right here on wwfc.com, we take a look at the number of miles that the Blues will clock up on the road throughout the next twelve months as they begin to prepare for the new campaign.
Following Stockport's 3-2 success over Rochdale in the League Two play-off final on Bank Holiday Monday, Wanderers' 23 opponents for the next season have now been confirmed, and there'll be no more long trips to Edgeley Park, Wrexham's Racecourse Ground or Mansfield's Field Mill for the Blues faithful.
Instead, the Wanderers will be on the road for 280.5 fewer miles than they were in the 2007/08 campaign, with relatively local trips to Luton, Bournemouth and Aldershot to look forward to when the fixtures are published.
In total, Wycombe will travel 6516.2 round miles to the 23 away fixtures in League Two next season, compared to the 6796.7 miles clocked up for league matches over the last year. Of course, trips to Plymouth and Swansea in cup competitions and a visit to Stockport for the play-off clash added another 1150.3 miles to the count, taking the total to a massive 7947 miles.
The full list of clubs and the distances from Adams Park (taking into account journeys to and from the home of the Wanderers) is as follows:
