Linnets' Fans' Forum

Well what more needs to be said, we are definitely in a relegation scrap now, and on recent showings I really don't hold a lot of hope of us avoiding it, something drastic has to happen and very quickly if we are to avoid playing at a lower level next season.

  I have to say 5 points from the last 9 is most welcome by us LINNETS,  great score draw today at South Shields, the team at the top of the pile this morning.  We'll done to Ian, Bazza and the boys selected today, onwards and upwards. 

 Fletcher has been sent out on " long term loan " to Stamford, he will train with Lynn full time still, but appears to be surplus to requirements at this moment in time. There was a lot said about Fletcher on his return to the walks, but does not appear to be in James Rowes planning for the team at this present moment. Good luck Fletcher across the border in Lincolnshire and hopefully we will see a local lad back at the Walks, in the future leading our frontline.

  The blue and gold scarf is definitely getting a good airing this year, after Adam Marriott's re signing, I make it 7 times it has been pictured recently. Our new manager has definitely decided to strike while the irons hot and we have a squad assembling in June, well done James, we LINNETS are not used to such early announcements about playing staff. You are definitely doing your job, now for the boys to have a break and then, soon we will be in pre season training and matches and the fans will then have a chance to do their best to encourage your newly assembled squad.

  James Rowe has been employed as KLTFC manager and full time status to be retained.
    Welcome James, hopefully you can help steady the ship, which is KLTFC, play attacking football, engage with the fans and most of all be honest and the crowds will return.

  I personally have not commented on the forum as much recently as I used too, due mostly down to the fact I have moved from King's Lynn and don't attend matches as regularly as I have done for over 40 years. I however felt it was time to come back and say my piece, I feel we are now almost definitely out of the playoff picture (hope I'm wrong), but this team what I have seen of it is INCONSISTENT to say the least, BEST MANAGER IN THE LEAGUE, come on, who you trying to fool, it's now his team and it just doesn't cut the mustard. I personally think we have lost out on the playoffs because we have dropped far too many points at the Walks, yesterday was a very good opportunity to take 3 points against a part time team who had a long coach journey, but again we blew the opportunity. I will now definitely not attend again this season and we will see what happens in the close season. I think a more local manager with local links towards players around the East Midlands/ Yorkshire region is what we require, not North west based. Give Gashy a chance in my opinion, done very well with a limited budget,but would he come is the big question!

  I see our home attendances are up by 20% so far this season, we are averaging around 1150 per home game. We are however early  days into a season we hope will hold much better results than last season.
I am just curious as to what other people think our average attendance will be come the end of the season ? . I personally feel that the numbers at present are a true reflection of our support level, this may rise by 2/300 if we are indeed fighting at the top of the table, but will also decline by 2/300 or possibly more if we struggle. We are currently the 12th best supported team in National League North, showing how well other clubs are supported in this league. I'm interested to hear other people's thoughts on this matter.

On the bench tonight for Aldershot, Widdrington jnr also on bench.

 Has moved to Swindon from Burton on deadline day, been on loan but now made permanent. Fraser is becoming a bit of a journeyman since leaving KLTFC, but good luck to him in his latest move.
