Linnets' Fans' Forum

Just read the post regarding the Trusts annual Xmas raffle results. What a great effort by the Trust and all those that supported the raffle through sponsorship or buying tickets. A big increase in ticket sales over last year. All of the money will help the Trust to support the Club moving forward and with everyone supporting the Club financially irrelevant of the amount it will make it more like a community Club rather than funded by one individual.
Something that can only be good for the Club in the long run and a good New Years resolution without fans there is no Club but we all need to do our bit.

Just been suspended from National League for financial issues. Tough choices being a fan these days to keep your Club alive.

Nice article on Club website today about how squad is coming together and the development of the players. Well done James a manager who wants to keep supporters informed long may it continue.

Whilst like most fans I'm delighted at the speed, quality and age profile of players that have been signed by the new coach for which he deserves credit along with the new owners making the decisions albeit not with the formality of there names on Companies house yet. Does anyone really believe with the exception of a couple of naysayers that this will not happen in due course when agreements with the DCMS and I assume the Trust are concluded.
However my only slight concern is the financing of this new squad against the background of the impending DCMS repayments and that the Club lost over £200k last season with a similar size squad. The only difference so far seems that at least 6/7 of the players are locally based which must save some money on accomodation and travel expenses. I just hope that the new owners are not just keeping fans happy whilst taking there eye off the bottom line. After the Cleeve years of " jam tomorrow " we now want an owner who is realistic and matches expectations to income.
