I blame the A47. Firstly Peterborough, now Norwich and Kings Lynn.

However, Peterborough Sports have a play off final tomorrow.

On a similar train of thought Northern Premier League play off final is being live streamed on you tube tomorrow. Scarborough v Warrington; free of charge bur donations welcomed for charities they support. Hope Scarborough win; nice place to visit next season!

I prefer Weymouth myself.

Who are the "scurrilous elements that hang about on the fringes of KLTFC"  Who Mr Lakey  refers to in EDP today?

AKA "Buffoons"?    :dontknow:

I wonder if he'd like to put some meat on the bones of that comment? That could well be a scurrilous comment in itself.

Good that Lakey mentions the Chairman not being afraid to dip his hand in his pocket, but for balance no mention of the £500k loan he’s saddled the Club with

Hypothetical i accept and i haven't researched the actual numbers but i wonder if the goals scored by Marriott, Morias and Gyasi after they left us: when added to the short sighted wholly illogical decision not to offer Joe Taylor a chance to further his development before as was inevitable he moved on, might have been the difference between survival and relegation?

And, I believe the half a million pound loan now needs to be serviced. Something that didn't need to be done last season.

I seem to recall SC added a quid on the admission for each person that was set aside to pay off that £500k loan.   How much would that equate to this season?

And "ring fenced" it if memory serves me well. Must be a few bob put away there already.

What was the total attendance for the season (League games only)?

He didn't say what day of the week that he goes round to clean Cleeve's car, either.

As Lakey covers  Norfolk Local sport you would  think could have  dedicated more column inches to the exciting Thurlow Nunn Prem title fight.  Gorleston and Wroxham surely deserved some of those inches that Lakey gave  over to Cleeve’s ramblings.

Laughable really. Someone just sent me a copy of a Facebook post where he obviously objects to someone’s opinion and claims the “sweeping comments are very unfair……”.

Then he goes and makes a massive sweeping comment himself.   :laughcry:

Newspapers losing readers and football clubs losing supporters……..and they wonder why that is!

Something similar mentioned on Facebook:

“Such a shame Archant………………………….. has lavished so much time and coverage on this embarrassment of a club, whilst virtually ignoring a Eastetn Counties League title race involving 2 Norfolk sides, which went down to the final 9 minutes of the season”.

In the region of 26,000.

Knock a few off for season ticket holders, concessions etc, there must still be well in excess of 20k that's been ring fenced for the loan repayment.

That will be a good start and a massive contribution towards reducing the 500k.

25 years seems about right, if it’s interest free.
