  WHAT HAPPENED?

• WHAT MCELHENNEY SAID

  There was more drama for A-list guests to enjoy at the start of a new season, as Phil Parkinson’s side claimed a 3-2 victory over Wycombe at SToK Racecourse, and McElhenney is daring to dream big once again. He told when asked what can be achieved over the next nine months: “What can we hope for? To win. Win and get promoted. That’s what you can hope for. Is that going to happen? Don’t know, that’s why we’ve got to win games.”

He said when asked when he will attend another game: “I’ll be back here some time in the fall.”
