General Discussion / A club motto?

Maybe an opportunity to attract an anonymous sponsor?

This seems to encapsulate KLTFC?

Some excellent non league performances: not least Tamworth and Kettering. i thought it somewhat ironic though that the standout player for Kettering, who scored the equaliser and assisted the winning goal, was a 19 year old locally born academy graduate.

Our concession match day seated price of £19 is higher than Barnet and York: currently the top two in the National League. Stephen Cleeve: a modern day Dick Turpin !

General Discussion / Thank you Mr Cleeve

As a life long (from the mid 1950's) 'Linnet' supporter, i am delighted that Adam Lakeland appears to be about to deliver what he promised when he joined the club and i was particularly encouraged by his recent comment in a Lynn News article: -

"Adam Lakeland wants to restore a connection between the club and the town, by turning his side into a promotion-challenging outfit next season." Though i am with him all the way on this, i so wish the club owner was of a similar 'connecting with the town' mindset.

Perhaps there was a time when i would have turned a blind eye towards such as anonymous sponsors (how contradictory is that statement?!) and mysterious overseas investors, plus inflated admission prices. But to me now it all adds up to a prevailing attitude that treats supporters as customers, most of whom are obviously deemed to be of limited intelligence. Pay up and don't ask too many questions is seemingly the strategy.

At the age of nearly eighty, i can understand that Mr Cleeve would not view me as even a medium term investment but the level of disdain shown towards many older supporters really sticks in my craw, to the point where principle comes into play: though some might view this as 'cutting of my nose to spite my face'? The ultimate irony though is that due to personal circumstance i have only been able to pay  occasional visits to The Walks in recent seasons. Now i can......but won't!

The build up to the match and the game itself used to be eagerly anticipated and was the high spot of my week. Regrettably no longer, for the reasons outlined above. Added to which it is not financially practical for me like many, to purchase a season ticket and yes, i can afford to pay the inflated uncompetitive admission price on the day but on a point of principle i won't. Example. Concession pricing: Lynn, standing £17 seated £19. Boston (a league above - in every sense!) standing £14, seated £15..

I will still follow the club's fortunes and post on this site, unless i am barred (!) but will continue to forgo that which i miss most!

I'm delighted for him, more so after his unfortunate experience when on trial with us. Maybe our 'academy obsession' means we are missing out on some who don't take that route?

General Discussion / Radio Norfolk?

No longer seems applicable more often than not, to West Norfolk. Once again no commentary, yet a number of other non league games, including Boston, are on local BBC Radio.

Another very tough one. Probably the form team over recent games? With Rhead and Denton in the squad we can expect an aerial bombardment? With a playoff place secure, fingers crossed for three points to keep the pressure up on Fylde

I would hope that we are aware of  him and his potential but probably not?

Fylde already getting payback on what i should imagine was a sizeable investment? He scored the only goal.of the game yesterday. The difference between one point and three.
