Could the Flint Cottage in Wycombe be the town's away day pub?

The Flint Cottage, which is situated directly opposite Wycombe Train Station, is encouraging travelling football fans to come to the Amersham Hill establishments when their respective side take on Wycombe Wanderers.

Clive Grace, who has been the pub’s holding general manager since March, revealed exclusively to the Free Press that due to the public house’s prime location where travelling spectators will be present, now is the right time to ‘promote the pub’ as much as possible.

This comes after several bars have shut all across Buckinghamshire due to the cost of food produce and the lack of customers.

Official government figures have revealed that more than 150 pubs in England and Wales shut down in the first three months of this year.

Clive told the Free Press: “I thought about this coming up to the end of last season and with the new campaign coming up, I really want to push this.

“I recently joined the League One Facebook page, expressed my plan and I’ve had a lot of good feedback from fans all over the division.

“When the football season is up and running, pubs are the heart and soul of any team, especially like us who are close to the train station where there will be many fans.

“It will be a great way to get involved in the football.

“I thought it would be a nice way to promote the pub for when the away fans come to the town.”

Clive also explained that even though he aims to have the pub primarily for away supporters, the bar will still be useable for any fan regardless of allegiance.

And with several teams in the division next season being relatively close to Wycombe geographically, such as Reading, Oxford, Leyton Orient, Northampton Town and Stevenage respectively, he hopes his project can take off.

He continued: “I know Wycombe is a football town but some pubs here don’t let people in wearing a football shirt.

"I have no problem with that.

“It’s all about being safe and having a good environment, and we are an LGBTQ+ friendly pub.

"We won’t tolerate any rude behaviour or comments from punters.

“With the local teams, Wycombe’s main rival [now that MK went down], is Oxford, and last season, even though I wasn’t here for the game, I remember being told it was very busy.”

The first batch of away fans to visit Adams Park next season will be Cardiff City for Joe Jacobson’s testimonial on July 29.
