bpexile Posted November 26, 2018 Report Share Posted November 26, 2018 I've only just heard Frankie on "Sound of The City" talking about his injury/illness & I have to say I honestly didn't know or realise how sick the boy has been. He sounds like a great character to have around the club & wish him all the very very best in his recovery & life in general. Top man . Anyone who hasn't listened to Frankie, the audio is on the BCFC site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Army 75 Posted November 26, 2018 Report Share Posted November 26, 2018 Was a good listen. Been through it lately. Is a really top bloke. Was at a funeral I attended not so long back. Paying his respects. Frankie Fielding is back in the building Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted November 26, 2018 Report Share Posted November 26, 2018 A work colleague had viral meningitis too. Whilst in hospital the nurses were really worried and spoke to her family about her having an eating disorder, which she didn’t. It turned out she was regularly taking her food and hiding it in her bed linen, she had absolutely no recollection of doing so. Certainly knocked her for six for quite a while. Very frightening for Frankie and family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foghornred Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 So glad that he is back on the road to recovery,I think that he is now the longest serving player so it would be great to have him back between the posts although he has competition now which he didn't have for some of the time that he was number one.

Lanterne Rouge Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 I wasn`t sure what exactly viral meningitis is so googled it and it sounds bloody horrible. I just hope our Frankie can fully recover from it and get back on the pitch again soon. All the best to him and his family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is truly the worst illness I've had in my lifetime. Felt like utter, utter shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had it in my mid twenties and you immediately think "I could die from this". I was hospitalised for 3 days, but it took 3 or 4 weeks to fully recover. Fortunately, in most cases, recovery is 100% though. Good luck and wish you a full recovery too Frank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Isewater Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 Top bloke is Frankie . Is he more affective than Maenpaa ? If " yes " back in as soon as fit , if " no " waits his turn . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ll know then that it’s difficult to treat directly unlike bacteria meningitis. An anti viral like accilovar and antipyretic medication in about the best treatment available. Usually last around 10 days or so iirc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just given pain relief whilst it took its course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To this day have no idea how I got it, but was hospitalised for 2 weeks. Mentally took me a while to get used to going back to regular life after constant care and attention from nurses/doctors/assistant staff. There were 3/4 other cases in Southmead whilst I was in too, so it really is more common than you would think. Echo your sentiments, speedy recovery Frankie!

Major Isewater Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 Agreed , top bloke is Frankie, and a good back up , however Maenpaa has given us a shade more quality and should come back between the sticks when he’s fit . It’s small margins at this level and NM is the better all round keeper . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Frankie keeps performing, and we keep on winning, no reason whatsoever for Nikki to be reinstated "when he's fit" Shit happens when GK's get injured, FF should only be dropped because of performance.

Nonsense. Maenpaa is likely to earn us more points than Frankie ,, is the better goalkeeper and is only out through injury.The jersey was his and should be restored to our number 1 when he’s fit . No question. Just to add that I think Frankie is a good keeper and a really great bloke but if Nikki earns us the extra points that get us higher up then he is the one we should be playing.
