This week we were following Wycombe Wanderers.

We didn't manage to convince a fan to come on and tell us about their fandom but we did get two stories in the mailbag so we'll read those out.

That left us to jump into exploring Wycombe ourselves which led to discovering their history of big name managers as well as the famous FA cup run with a very unlikely hero in the quarter-finals.

It's time for a new season and that means the return to action of Random Fandom FC.

The seats in the stadium have been cleaned, the burger van is fully stocked, and the gift shop is selling anything we can think of to put the club crest on!

BUT.....that's not the big news.

The big news is that while we're going to keep the format of following random teams, the way we will do it is changing.

Oh, and you'll see the us...

Quick update as it's been a bit quiet on my end.

Will be back ahead of the new season.

Enjoy the summer!
