Bluboy is having a good old stir of the pot.

I wonder why?

It's a forum where you discuss things , I don't gain anything and it's also been asked else where
by others .. people will take their own view of the situation and at the end of the day fans will only go by results and not care about what goes on in dressing room when the season starts

I don't kno where you're getting info from..defo not what I heard, not what Ive heard!! 

The reliable grapevine delivers again.

Adam Lakeland has today been sacked

Is this a true story, or someone muddying the waters before the meeting next week.

Adam Lakeland confirms a 30% cut of his playing budget for next season on BBC Radio Norfolk and says he is disappointed with the lack of ambition.

Fresh off the old Lynn town grapevine...

Joe and co have slashed playing budget and possible mass exodus of playing staff and manager this is why we haven't seen a retained list yet...awful if true.

Another of Joe's achievements?

Heard on the grapevine apparently it was the head of media who started it and pushed it through the club. Maybe Joe has shaken the magic money tree? (Not that we will ever find out!) 

Regardless nice to see some investment

Concur with the above.  Good to see people at the Club being proactive.   When we think back to  the dross being put out in previous times under the old guard, it makes one feel more appreciative.

Makes me wonder what on earth the media team from years gone by were doing!! 

Really enjoying the new mobile app the club has released. Well done to media team & all involved.

Nice little 3 min videos.  Enjoyable watch.  Toon spot on.  The media content has 100% improved since Bal joined.  I see he has arranged for a £3 discount on the Brackley game for next week.  Talk about proactive.

The use of the 'Nest' is that in some way connected to Norwich City ?  If so great tie up.

Betting in play, you could be right although I'd think it was to do with the fact that Linnet is a bird and the club is like a nest. Speculation maybe!

I have to say, especially compared to a couple years ago - the media side of the club has gotten so much better.

Well done to all involved

Most Managers always protect their own backs.  So a culture of blaming everything except themselves tends to be the order of the day.  They can't blame the team because they bring the players to the Club and play them. 

The idea we missed out on Sam Osbourne seems strange one.  Have we not got enough wide players in the squad?  With no strikers on the bench again yesterday surely that has to be the priority. 

Go back to Culverhouse he look for locally for his signings.  Didn't do him any harm, at this level.

I am pretty sure he lives 15 minutes away from Alfreton, so there's your answer.

So having read the forum yesterday I got the impression that we were pretty lame to say the least.

But in the LN article Lakeland appeared to blame the pitch, names a couple of players, bewails the fact that potential signings have gone elsewhere and anything else he could think of.

Nowhere does he take any blame himself 😕

Oh, I forgot the one about our location 🙄

The fans apparently escaped censure this time, but I'm sure we'll be back in the next report.

He's now starting to come across to me as delusional 😔

And I know we've been up in the playoffs for a while, until yesterday, but perhaps it says more about the opposition playing badly than us playing well. Time will tell ⏰😒

We actually played very well and I think if we put in performances like that against most teams in most games we would get a result. We had 20 shots compared to their 5. I don't know who your sources are for performance of the game but it would indicate that your sources may have not been at the game.

It's a great deal, but I might as well cut up my season ticket for all the value I got from it. Even buying it as early bird, I'm wondering just why I bothered 😕

And please spare me the old platitudes about "supporting the club" it doesn't wash with me I'm afraid. Simple maths, at a time when people's wallets are hurting, tells me a season ticket is simply a waste of money 😔
Dick Turpin springs to mind 💸💸💸

Complain, complain, complain. "Give me something because someone else has got something" i think it's lovely that the club are willing to make at least one game available to those who might need a small break.

I'm a season ticket holder and don't mind the offers as hopefully it'll attract new fans. Always the chance a club will do offers throughout the season. And it's half term so hopefully a really good crowd 👍

To be fair, you have a choice between the £8 chips and the much cheaper ones. It's personal choice. Nobody is making you buy £8 chips.

You'd known that if you've been to The Walks.

A bit harsh from John H
If the guy is passionate about doing commentary and prepared to give up his time I don't think comments like yours are very helpful. Not having to hunt around for links to be able to listen and feel involved in our club is a great asset. If John thinks he can do better put your name forward.

He's obviously a very young Norfolk chap, injects a bit of humour and wants the team to do well. All good traits in my book but I suppose some would prefer a more mature voice, but for me as long as a commentator helps you picture the game, which I feel he does very good, that's A-ok with me!
