Well, in the absence of a strong backhander, I guess at least you just served a few lazy lobs. Let's just see if we can all rally behind the boys tomorrow, and help them pick up three match points.  :clap:  :comeon:

Quote from: rod on November 20, 2025, 07:56:11 PMSuch a shame that neither Roger Taylor (Queen) or George Russell (F1) appear to be interested in football?!

Did I miss their films? :laughcry:

Why?

Would you rather them fall into a trap and lose their hard earned money, so a few people get to watch 90 minutes of football on a Saturday afternoon at a level higher than the club can afford or at a price they are willing to pay? I've never understood why some supporters (not just Lynn) think that their Saturday afternoon entertainment should be subsidised by others.

I'd much rather any investor join us and be aware of everything, warts and all. I'd rather them do full due diligence and take notice of as much information they can find out there.

Maybe that's a lesson Jo has learned from his experience.  :dontknow: My money's on that he'd never repeat anything such as this again. If he was going to, surely TSI would be far more involved with other projects already, and not have Lynn FC as their only customer.

"We never expected to end up owning a football Club".

Either I've  hit a nerve and there has been an attempt to divert from my point, that there is an awful lot of negativity and general grumbling on this forum, or this was a genuine belief that I would like someone to invest "their hard earned money", in a football team without them doing the proper research into a club's finances and overall situation.

I would suggest, that there is little likelihood that someone who had the nous and ability to "earn" £millions would not do their homework. I would also suggest, the last place they would start, if wishing to do a deep dive into the financial status of said club is the fan's forum. Maybe the inherited super rich would simply take a punt on a whim.

On that note, let's hope we don't discourage any famous Hollywood actors.  :thanks:

General Discussion / Re: Heart break for away Linnets.

Thanks Dilly, I guess I was thinking more about set ups and substitutions. When changes are needed substitutions appear to be like-for-like. Who else would like to see Gyasi and Kamara given a chance together? Others may disagree, but Kamara looks a good, young prospect to me, but so often seems to be willingly chasing around up front, totally unsupported. He's too young for that imo, and needs someone useful and experienced alongside.

Who can work out how many points we've lost from winning positions this season? I'll bet it's not a lot less than we've actually got.

Is that tactics from the sidelines or in the player's heads?

Wow. Looking at the draw, there are going to be a lot of good Northern based teams in our league, going out in the next round of the FA Cup.

Great to see. Well done to all who attended.
