It's not just Paul Lambert and his staff who are busy preparing for this weekend's play-off showdown with Stockport County - the various departments within the club have been working hard behind the scenes to ensure that everything is in place for the most important match of the season by far.
Adams Park will open its doors to the biggest crowd of the campaign on Sunday evening, with over 6,000 tickets already sold by the end of Friday, and it is expected that many more supporters will turn up on the day to get behind the Blues and help them in their quest to take a first-leg lead to Edgeley Park the following weekend.
Ticket Office Manager Matt Gregg said: "The phones haven't stopped ringing all week with Wycombe fans wanting to get their hands on tickets for the two matches and it's great to see the whole town getting behind the club. The supporters have been really patient and supportive and I'd like to thank them and my staff for helping the whole process go smoothly."
Meanwhile, Food and Beverage Manager John Farrington and his team will be laying on meals for more than 300 guests in the hospitality areas, while the kiosks have been stocking up on extra supplies to keep the bumper crowd refreshed throughout the game. Now the Stoke City fan is hoping for the Blues to earn promotion to cap off a perfect few weeks for him after seeing his beloved Potters clinch a Premiership place for next season:
"It would be fantastic for this club to be playing at a higher level because of the excellent facilities around the stadium," John said. "There's nothing better than seeing a big crowd here to see Wycombe play and hopefully it will be a regular occurrence in years to come."
The F&B team have received a welcome boost ahead of the busy weekend after hearing of their nomination in two categories at the forthcoming Football Hospitality Awards: the Conference and Event Marketing Award and the Matchday Hospitality Award.
Elsewhere, the ground staff have been working hard to ensure the best possible playing conditions on the Adams Park pitch, and as the wwfc.com staff left the office on Friday evening there was no question that the surface was in an excellent condition and should benefit the Blues' passing game.
And last but by no means least, the media team have been submerged with dozens of press requests throughout the week with representatives from the BBC, Sky, TalkSport, Press Association and national newspapers all keen to cast their eye over the game.
Now do your bit! If you haven't bought tickets for Sunday's game, you can still buy tickets on the day at Adams Park, so please come along and get behind the mighty Wanderers.
