Flackwell Heath F.C.
Flackwell Heath F.C. is a football club based in Flackwell Heath, near High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire, England. They were established in 1907 and joined the Hellenic League in the 1976-77 season. They have reached the third round of the FA Vase twice in their history. Following the resignation of Barking and East Ham United on 19 June 2006, Flackwell Heath were elected to the Isthmian League Division One North for the 2006-07 season but were relegated at the first attempt.
History
Flackwell Heath FC was formed in 1907 but the team did not play senior football until 1976 when they joined the Hellenic Football League, where they gained promotion from Division One at the very first attempt. In 1982 they switched to the Athenian League but two years later, with this league on the verge of collapse, they moved to the Isthmian League, initially in Division Two North, although they were switched to Division Two South after one season.
In 1991 the league was reorganised and Flackwell Heath found themselves in the new Division Three, where they played for the next eleven seasons with little success, achieving only two finishes in the top half of the table. In 2002 Division Three was renamed Division Two, and at the same time the Heathens' fortunes appeared to turn around, with three top-five finishes in four years, the last of which (a 4th place finish in 2005-06) was enough to secure them a place in Division One North when the league was reorganised once again. In their first season in this division they finished bottom and were relegated into the Hellenic League.
