I am Trust life member and have read the email. I don’t want to go into all the details and can see there are a lot of unresolved issues to be thrashed out. But as Trust members we elect a committee to act on our behalf and therefore should show faith in them. After all they want what is best for Lynn FC. Mr Cleeve appears to be saying he can not provide the funds to keep the club going, hence the various appeals in the last 12 months. Therefore the Trust is right to do its best to stop the club collapsing again. Apparently Mr Cleeve has never been prepared to allow the Trust to have any say in running the club. In fact, I think I am right in saying there is not even a Supporters’ Club. I agree with some comments that it seems unlikely he will relinquish control easily but the one-man show model was always likely to fail unless that man has unlimited funds. Clubs at Lynn’s level must have supporter input and a recognised board of directors to carry the burden of running the club. It is a massive shame for Adam Lakeland and the players that this has all blown up while the team is trying to reach the playoffs. It must be a worry for them, after all it is their livelihoods on the line if the club goes under.

No, sorry, didn’t enquire about anything virtual. But he did say he will reply to any queries from fans, either by email or in person at the press box on match days.

Just had a reply from Travis. Good news, match highlights will be available the day after a home game, starting this Saturday against Leamington. Apparently there has been a logistical issue which has now been resolved.

As it happens, I emailed Travis, the media man, yesterday to ask what has happened to match highlights. Will post when I get a reply.

With the improvement of media coverage in recent weeks I was hoping to see Lynn’s opening day victory on the club’s YouTube channel. Alas, so far no show. Instead, I was able to watch Warrington’s version with commentary. And very fair it is. Lynn should, at least, be able to offer this for home games which, for long-distance fans like me, would be appreciated. On the plus side, the manager gets good coverage after each match.

Sorry, I meant Crowe not Crane!

Does anyone know why Coulson, Crane, Chong and Oke are not featuring in the friendlies. The manager is interviewed after each match but he is not asked about absentees. The media department is suppose to be trying to up its game - surely this is something fans would like to know?

For many of us information coming out of the club has been patchy. I don’t do social media so am relying on the club’s website for information. This has been well below par on the whole. The head of media, Travis Wright, has now penned an update of the media team’s plans etc. He is also asking for feedback from fans. This is a good opportunity to voice our concerns and provide ideas for improvement.

Makes you wonder if anyone other than invited guests attended. Surely the local media men should have covered it. If not, why not?

Any further news on McCammon joining from Peterborough Sports? I recall he is a midfield man. When do the Linnets start training or have they started?

This smacks of the Lynn News wanting Mr Wild back as MP. On the other hand, how many constituents really give a care about Lynn FC? And will Mr Wild still be a supporter if he fails to get re-elected?

Sorry, I’m completely mystified by this topic. Can someone please enlighten me?

Keeping fans updated is very patchy. For a full-time professional club the media output is well-below par. More Southern League standard than National League. I emailed the club a couple of weeks ago pointing out the first team pen pictures on the website were hopelessly out of date and remained the same throughout last season. It included a player Adam Lakeland booted out early in his managerial reign. It remains unchanged. Having seen the club, apparently, on the brink of collapse last season I would have thought the owner would be keeping supporters informed about the current financial situation.

He has joined newly promoted Mansfield on two-year deal.

Possession-based, free flowing football and winning matches is the ideal. Man City, Arsenal and Liverpool have the players to do that. Most of the other big clubs try to match that but fall short. You have to be realistic and realise at National League level the old virtues of effort, commitment and organisation, backed by sound defending, are the main attributes. And if you are lucky your team will have two or three players with skill and flair to raise fans’ pulses. Achieving that balance is the key to next season for Lynn but so much depends on what budget is available for Mr Lakeland to attract the players he wants.
