It would be good, even logical to know the current state of play regarding such as ownership, Mr Cleeve's current and future situation and fan involvement via The Trust. Just an interim update would be welcome.

:dontknow: sorry can’t work that out £240 for 23 league games can’t be bad value

365 i think you either misread or misunderstood my earlier message. I am not questioning the 'value' of season tickets.

The new pricing structure seems to indicate that the club still take the older generation, many of whom have been loyal supporters since the 1950's, for granted.

This means that the concession price of admission on an individual match basis if purchased online will be £1 less than last season but will still result in paying a significant premium compared with the majority of other teams in the NLN? Maybe i am in a minority but it suits my situation, due to a combination of age and health issues, to attend games as and when i am able, which will probably result in me making that decision a day or two ahead of the game.

A well run club needs good sponsorship and a commercial department helping to provide the necessary funds to back player recruitment.


Indeed Colin.

I think the Club maybe missed a trick by not having a Nail Bar and a Car Wash under the stand and open on Match days.

Supporters could have used these while eating their plant based Ice Creams.

And a Turkish barbers?

A successful football club is the sum of many parts, not just what happens on the pitch. In fact sustained 'success' more often than not is driven by what happens behind the scenes.

To be fair Rod its only 10 days since takeover was announced at which stage the Club had no manager/coach and only ten retained players plus a million things that had not been dealt with by the previous owner. Also Tsi statement did say there were lots of regulatory matters to be completed. Lets give them some time and hope that all the right things are being done to put the Club on the correct path for the future after 9 years of chaos.

I'd settle for knowing which individual is running day to day off field activities. Surely not too much to ask?!

Things seem to becoming together on the pitch but i am disappointed at the lack of clarity regarding off field activities subsequent to the announcement following the meeting with The Trust. Perhaps i should not be surprised but maybe i have missed something as i am not a regular user of social media. My main source of information is this forum and the KLTFC website. By way of example, i have not seen a formal announcement of Bal's involvement. It has just been gossip, conjecture and rumour from those who appear to have access to inside information. No official club statement???

You may well prove to be correct in your assessment of Fletcher's all round ability? However the fact that natural goal scorers at every level are 'gold dust', added to which he has scored regularly as he has progressed up the pyramid: this season 30 so far at step 4 for the first time, is it not possible that at the age of 21 with the right coaching that he might progress further?"

These were my comments a while ago in response to Paul47, who had expressed his opinion that Fletcher might not make the grade at this level. I still subscribe to the view that with the right level of coaching support and an attacking style of play that will create opportunities, Fletcher will score goals but we must be realistic in our expectation as he adjusts to playing two levels higher. Thus far he has met every challenge presented, so let's hope that he will eventually walk in the footsteps of Jack Defty, becoming a local hero, as would have Joe Taylor had he been given the opportunity before he moved on.

For the first time in quite a while i am considering once again becoming a paying supporter, just as long as Mr Cleeve has no day to day involvement in running off field activities and that admission prices are reasonable.

Good luck Fletcher !!

Such very sad news. Keith was a great servant of the club both on and off the pitch. R.I.P

Regarding Gold, I think with some people, unfortunately it’s a bit deeper than how he’s performing. I’ve witnessed people abusing him then he’s scored and they don’t applaud. Sad really . It’s about supporting the eleven representing KLFC . It’s only the end of May , let’s see who the new manager brings in before making any opinions on how we’ll do next season.
If so sad and pathetic. I've always had my doubts about him based purely on performance when at times i felt he had / has much.more to give.

I may have missed the announcement but do we know exactly who will be running the off field operation? Bal?

I thought my day was about to be made when i read the following....

'The deal, which is "subject to regulatory approval from the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and other relevant regulatory bodies", will end chairman Cleeve's nine-year association with the Linnets.'

But there are still many unanswered questions, not least that Mr Cleeve will still be involved, albeit not operationally? What exactly does that mean? Additionally, operationally who will be the main man or woman? At times i think joining the magic circle might help me navigate through the smoke and mirrors.

As an aside, i am one of that lost generation of supporters who will not contemplate returning until such time that Mr Cleeve has moved on to his next project.

From the outset this has been nothing more than  a personal vanity project. The only thing that surprises me is his continuing ability to find a means of keeping the shipwreck afloat. Smoke and mirrors coupled with snake oil salesmanship.
