I think every Lynn fan wants them to play at the highest level and we all secretly dream of league football HOWEVER... I think the reason many are dubious and perhaps don't support the dream

I agree that every fan wants the Club to play at the highest level, but I would add, "that it can afford".

I really don't believe that we all secretly dream of league football. There may be some but I really don't believe that's high on the agenda for most.

Again yes, I think sustainability and transparency is key. Just to feel like a well run club with the fans at its core!

I overheard someone say "This town doesn't deserve a football club". I can certainly sympathise with that statement

I disagree with that.

Of course the Town deserves a football Club, although I think it should be more of a case of what kind of Club the supporters really want.

I think its quite obvious now that the majority of the Town does not care for the dream that some have of league football, but that's different than not deserving a Club.

For a very few supporters its the ambition of playing at a level that the Club can't afford (as long as someone else pays for it).

For others it an ambition to have a Club that really is part of the community, plays at a level it can afford, and not to keep repeating these boom or bust scenario's.

And for the majority, they don't give a sh*t as long as they can watch 90 minutes on a Saturday afternoon (at whatever the level the Club is at) without putting their hands in their pockets other than for the entrance fee.

They then head off home and wait for the next home game.

I think every Lynn fan wants them to play at the highest level and we all secretly dream of league football HOWEVER... I think the reason many are dubious and perhaps don't support the dream as proposed currently is down to the ownership/communication side of things.

I think most peoples issues are due to the fact its sometimes hard to feel like a supporter when you are kept in the dark with alot of goings on at the club, the Joe thing still looms over (what is his role, is he investing/has he invested etc etc)

There has been numerous strange comments from above and activities that sometimes make you lose faith a little in the club most of us grew up supporting/fell in love with.

I for one want a club I can support, be a part of and feel involved in - being made aware of the goings on, the plans (to a point - more the clarity then of course being involved). It would be nice to turn up on a Saturday see Lynn play, read the comms from the club and that be it rather than second guessing everything going on and wondering whether to believe what we hear.

As for threatening libel for asking questions (elsewhere not from yourself), this forum never fails to amaze.
