Linnets' Fans' Forum

Keeping supporters informed appears to be a low priority for the club. Perhaps a little digging and asking some pertinent questions from the local media might throw light on the current situation. 

Just when Lynn seemed to be in calmer waters after a summer of turmoil and upheaval. The club statement was an insult to supporters who deserve a better explanation. I doubt we will hear from Mr Rowe as I can not remember hearing him once speak directly to the local media, always through the club media man. No doubt social media will be spilling the beans, so surely it would be better if the club came out with a fuller explanation now.

Is this some new game on the forum - guess what it means?  Can someone please enlighten me? 

Well done to James Rowe clearly winning over fans and guiding his young team to play attractive football. One thing I've noticed - has anybody else? - is, so far, no after-match questions from the local press or Radio Norfolk.  He answers a few brief questions from the club media man which are posted on YouTube. His comments are the used by the Lynn News and EDP. Last season's mini Press conferences with Mr Lakeland were informative and not just answers to what the club wanted to ask.

I don't comment too often but read the forum each day. This is getting unpleasant and a line should be drawn now.

Tommy has signed for Southern League Bury Town.

Joined Halifax.

Former Football League club. Good luck to Mr Lakeland and Sam Walker, who saved Lynn from relegation and turned them into a playoff team. I wonder how many of his Lynn signings will end up at Halifax?

A welcome increase in membership. It would be good to see that growing even more to give the Trust a show of strength in negotiations in the future. Agree with Mallard, an update of what is actually happening would be appreciated.

Since my post yesterday re the club's website section Our People, it now says :This page can't be found.
Is that suspicious or just a gremlin at work? Will it show tomorrow Mr Cleeve back as chairman.....?

I see the club website has updated the Our People section, removing Mr Cleeve as chairman and showing Mr Bal Srai as Chief Executive Officer .

Agreed a new one-year deal to stay at Tamworth, BBC National League news report.

You can not divorce the way a club is run from the football side of it. The lack of financial prudence and the woeful infrastructure at Lynn over the years has quite clearly impacted what has happened on the field. For instance, the budget was clearly an issue when Mr Hughes was made manager and recruitment was not of the quality needed to sustain NLN standards, hence the relegation threat that followed. Mr Lakeland improved the squad but the financial fallout that has followed has been a price too high.
A well run club needs good sponsorship and a commercial department helping to provide the necessary funds to back player recruitment. Have Lynn had either of these consistently during Mr Cleeve's tenure?

I recall Keith breaking into the first ream alongside the likes of Reg Davies, Mick Wright, Malcolm Lindsay, Dave Brooks, David Clarke. Top players playing in what was regarded as the premier non-league, the old Southern League. He had an eye for goal, a languid style playing inside forward but probably not the quickest.
I think he was the first local lad to make the grade after the departure of goalkeeper Mick Manning in the early 1960s.
Keith is alongside Mick Wright and Malcolm Lindsay as true Lynn legends.

BBC Sport report he has been released by Stockport County.
