Not looking too good again.

COVID-19 cases are "rising exponentially" across England, with the latest estimates putting the R number at 1.44.

Infections increased by 50% between 3 May and 7 June coinciding with the rise of the Delta variant, which has become dominant in the UK since first being detected in India.

Delta has overtaken the Alpha (Kent) variant, and now accounts for up to 90% of coronavirus cases.

The number of COVID-19 cases is doubling every 11 days, according to data from the REACT-1 study by scientists at Imperial College London, who said their findings showed a "rapid switch" from the Alpha variant to Delta.

The figures also show that one in 670 people was infected, with the highest prevalence in the North West.

Stephen Riley, professor of infectious disease dynamics at Imperial and one of the study authors, said the exponential increase in prevalence is being driven by infections among younger people.



IMHO, dealing with the very nature of a Pandemic and the gradual easing of the restrictions, it's no real surprise that this is happening. It maybe also goes someway in explaining why some segments of the entertainment/hospitality industry are seeing their restrictions being lifted quicker than others.

Yes we need people on the committee who are forward thinking and to increase the membership but in my opinion the biggest thing that would increase the membership would be to change the name from Friends of the Linnets to Kings Lynn FC Supporters Club and be more transparent to the members. So there’s my thoughts on what needs to happen.

Malcolm, who's on the Committee at the moment?

At the last committee meeting only four people where there I have never seen a full committee in full attendance far from it

I had heard it was light on numbers. Who are actually involved with running it (i.e. on the committee) at this moment in time?

 

.....and there's the rub !

Promising youngster.... hopefully he can have a great season with Wroxham and be appearing a couple of rungs higher within a season or two, he then may be in contention for a NL berth.........that would be a similar journey to Danny Wright at Torquay ( as mentioned by Mallard in other thread) who has played at NL level for ten years or more via Histon and Cambridge City.

Kes, I think it was United, not City and didn’t come through via an Academy.

Well done Malcolm. Go for it!

 

Wasn't advocating the club creating anything in termsof the ressies........think someone else from outside will set something up....... unlikely to be in competition with the club as the levels are quite distinct.

I didn't think that you were advocating the Club does something. What I meant is if someone did set up another Club, it would have come about due to the Club deciding they didn't want a Reserve team.

Any football played locally is in competition with Lynn, irrespective of the different levels. If one person decides he would like to go to Heacham rather than Lynn, that's £20 plus that Lynn don't receive. With the Reserves following over the years, combined with other matters, I think you could be looking at nearer the 100 figure initially if a another Club was formed. Depending on success that figure could increase. That's serious money.

I wouldn't worry about it too much though...............I can't see it happening any time soon.
