Wycombe return to renovated Marlow Road training ground

Wycombe will be targeting League One promotion after missing out last season

Wycombe Wanderers' first-team have returned to using an upgraded Marlow Road as their training base ahead of the new season.

The Chairboys trained at Harlington in west London last season, a training ground previously used by Chelsea and Queens Park Rangers.

But Mike Dodds's squad have reverted to using a site less than three miles from the club's Adams Park home.

They are looking to mount another League One promotion challenge in 2025-26 after running Birmingham and Wrexham close before coming up short in the play-off semi-finals against eventual winners Charlton last season.

The Marlow Road project was led by sports infrastructure specialists Ardent Sports who oversaw the development of Brentford's new training ground and have also worked with Manchester City and Liverpool.

Two new pitches to match the surface at Adams Park have been installed.

The complex has also been expanded in size to create space for additional offices and improved changing, fitness and analysis facilities, team meeting rooms and a press conference lounge.

The pitches at Marlow Road will be named in honour of Adam Ankers, a season ticket holder and young player in the Wycombe Wanderers Foundation who died last year after suffering a cardiac arrest during a game.

Wycombe's academy sides will continue to use Harlington.

Chief football officer Dan Rice said: "Returning to Marlow Road is a significant step forward for the club and we're really excited to enable the team to benefit from some of the best facilities in the EFL.

"We're looking forward to seeing the team settle into their new training ground and also plan to invite groups of supporters to look around and see the improvements for themselves."
