Well if we can't play in High Wycombe lets play at home

Following the cancellation of last weekend's game away to Wasps following a dramatic and unbelieveably quick freezing of the pitch, Edgeley Park allow us now to look forward to next weeken'd visit from Leeds:

Philippe looks ahead to Friday's game

Looking ahead to this weekend’s game, Philippe Saint Andre said, “We travelled back from Wasps on Sunday evening and we put all the players through their paces on Monday. This Friday’s Guinness Premiership game against Leeds Carnegie should be a very competitive game as we both need to win for different reasons. We need the points to keep up our top four challenge and Leeds need the points in the efforts to pull away from the foot of the table. The game at Headingley earlier in the season saw us under the hammer in the early part of the game but we weathered the storm to return home 34-20 winners.

We have all the international players back this weekend including Sheridan,Faure,White,Wigglesworth, Lamont as well as the Lobbe brothers who have been in Argentina at Juan's wedding."

Speaking about the postponed game at Wasps Philippe said, “Last weekend was a big disappointment for everyone connected to the club with the late cancellation. We had prepared well, travelled down the day before and the players were ready for the challenge. A lot of fans had travelled too and it was sad to see them after the game was called off as they are so dedicated to the club, but we have to respect the referees decision. The postponement now means that we will have to play the game midweek.
