Are there any fans who actually want Mr Cleeve still at the club. If not, then why not just boycott all games and let him get in with it. Action speaks louder than words as they say.
This forum only represents a small percentage of Lynn fans, but if the views on here are more widespread, why would SC hang around, assuming that he is aware of the general feeling towards him.

This forum doesn't represent the supporters, a small proportion or otherwise.

It just allows supporters to post their views and opinions etc to fellow supporters.

I think you will find many loyal LINNETS have already been boycotting matches. People who used to attend all matches either cherry pick fixtures to attend now or indeed do not attend at all. The attendance figures backs this up.

Setch agreed another year at Corby. So put a line through that name.

                  Contracts aren't worth the paper they are written on.

Anybody thought about Michael Gash, been proven down the road a little, obviously has local contacts, not much travelling involved for him. I would give him a call, no problem with Setch either, maybe he could team up with Josh, would need both to agree to it, and it's not a given they would, but 1st choice for me is Gashy.

No mention of Gold anywhere, I see, what's happening with him ?

  Well I have to say, when I started this thread, I really did hope the squad would prove me wrong, and I did state I hope they prove me wrong in my opinion,and they have very nearly done that. One more point I believe and we are in those playoffs without result's going our way in any other matches. We are only just behind KIDDY, in the current form guide for National North, so come on boys, I truly, hope and believe we can now do this. We have hit a good patch of form at the right time, definitely not all great performances, but points matter now.

Bal was at the game today

Yes.

Maybe just as a fan.

Again today, 2 points dropped from a home match at the Walks, I really don't want to add up how many that is now. We had a chance to climb into the playoffs again today and didn't deliver. If we could have taken  a few more points at home we would have been cemented in a playoff place well before now.

IF, we get promoted, we have to remember that AL is untested at step 1.

Previously, we have had two experienced Managers that couldn't keep us out of the bottom 4.

Without a very competitive budget, maybe even twice what we currently have, would we be expecting too much of AL?

People mention our geographical location. This is not just relevant to the Players. AL is Northern based and the NL has Southern and Midland teams, so surely his location has to come into it as well.

National league is what it says, NATIONAL, not northern or southern, it covers the whole country, therefore, if we were full time and players were accommodated around the area, they would come for money. You only need to look across the Wash, Boston can attract players of the calibre needed, they are in a similar situation regarding location as we are. We don't and never have had the infrastructure, funding or indeed support to compete with the teams in the league above us.

I have never read such doom and gloom in my life I believe some on here need to spit on their hands and get a fresh hold

Ok, so I was wrong about not getting back into the playoffs and I would love to see Lynn win promotion. I used to be an almost ever present at home games since the late 60's. We got into the National League and even had the benefit of a season there with no threat of relegation, which was just as well. Second season, we corrected nothing and got relegated. Following season we finished 24 or so points above Kidderminster and get stuffed by them at home in the playoffs. Since then I've been just 3 times, Scarborough at home, 3-0 up at half time and lost 4-3. Warrington at home, we won and then Spennymoor a couple of weeks ago, which was quite honestly embarrassing.
We have difficulty in scoring, but we don't bring in a forward. Imagine playing let's say, Scunthorpe, Kidderminster, or maybe Chester away in the playoffs. Our ground is uninviting and has seen better days too. I think that SC has taken the club as far as he can and it's time for a change.
I saw the goal against Leamington and the celebrations were great to see, but I would feel a bit more optometrist if we had a 9, or 10 who could score more than they do. Unfortunately, I've gotten out of the habit of watching Lynn, with their unattractive style of football.

We are all entitled to our opinions, mine is obviously along the same line as yours. I respect others opinions and they should respect ours.

As I said in the original post,I hope I'm proven wrong in my original opinion, and the team has proved this to be the case at the present time, but picking up home wins are even more important now, we really need to bag these  3 points at the walks, had we have done this throughout the season, we would have been in a far healthier position regarding the playoffs, than we are at present. Still hopeful we can put a mini run together and get a playoff spot and I amongst others will be well and truly proven wrong.

As I stated at the beginning of this thread I feel our playoff chances have passed IMHO, hoping I'm wrong but tomorrow is definitely a game we are capable of winning, if we are to drop more points I see no way back for this season.

They got David Newton we got Stephen Cleeve.

Agreed, but the difference is they inform their fans what is being planned and happening behind the scenes. The fans over there feel connected to the club.

Like you Dazza i attended my first  game in 5 years  having moved away , what a disappointment!
A Lynn team playing hoof ball, Lynn players pulling out of 50/50 tackles, no commitment, no desire. The club is not a NL outfit on or off the pitch that has to be rectified first. If this is full time football the sooner we return to part time the better! If the club goes p/t then I don't see AL staying so it'll be back to square one and rebuilding. In that scenario I'd go for Setch, Gash won't leave PS, Dean can only win with a cheque book in his hand. Setch would bring the crowds back, his teams always played with commitment, desire ,aggression and for the badge, I saw none of that.
I would have got better value for my £20 in TK Maxx!
From what I hear changes will be made at the top and by that I mean higher than the manager. Onwards and upwards UTL

Well put Graham, you and I are only two , but there are many more disgruntled fans out there. I would say Setch again definitely, but again would he come. Jimmy Dean is as you say very good when he has money and I know for a fact, that players he has signed are on seriously good money for our level, let alone  Spaldings level. This is all ifs and buts, still I think interesting times ahead, led by who ?.
