I've lived in Wycombe 25 years and not once have I heard Flackwell pronounced any way other than exactly how it reads.
I think the locals (at least those that have lived there for a few decades) call it Flackle.
Can only imagine the doc is suggesting it's pronounced FLACK-WUL, instead of a hard WELL at the end.
Let the music play, down at flackwell rock
It’s not a Hanlan day. Need to sort sooner rather than later. I know, cue a wonder showing but I doubt it .
It’s down to the disappearance of the old Wycombe accent. My grandparents always called it ‘Flackle.’
I still can't quite believe we can watch every game in good quality, minimal delay, with replays and commentary.
It doesn't seem that long ago the only way I used to get mid-game updates was via quite pricy text messages on my Nokia 3310.
20secs with their defender taking a throw. Ref points at him to get it moving.
Passes it to their long throw goon who polishes the ball for a bit, pointing at some ballboy with a towel.
Steals 10 yards, ref goes over again, and well over a minute wasted.
Unreal.
Off the post doh.
I've always known it as Frackle, as in Frackle Fryers.
Thank you.
Can we do MacGillivray now ?
It doesn't seem that long ago that it seemed amazing we could get a single camera dodgy quality footage from a friendly.
A word of praise for Toby Large. Excellent Co-commentator. And a very pleasant voice.
Scowen for Freeman must be now, if he's not fit enough to play he shouldn't be on the bench
Grimmer's having a difficult one today.
Some of the crossing has been dreadful when we do get near.
Scant consolation, but Bolton are two down as well.
McCarthy
The final ball and lack of movement in the box has been woeful so far. Genuinely think we can get goals here.
Freeman is the only player creating right now.
Campbells problem is people think he's the new Eze
If results stay the same it will be starting to look like only Bolton who are catchable.
Scrappy though, If it helps get Wing further forward maybe but probably TJ for Hanlan first
We need some urgency now. We are going down with a whimper here.
Lived in Flackwell for many years and never heard it pronounced Frackle.
It must be a thing though - the chip shop is called Frackle Fryers.
Oh TJay.
Oh dear Tj
De Barr from about 3 yards out, all the space in the world. Painful. It's a chance though and we've not been creating loads.
Terrible miss. I could have put that away.
It's so painful to have no faith in a team to turn a game around, even against 10 men.
