 Admin, lock the thread for Gawd's sake. Ken Rout
Keep it going,loving seeing Stan squirming,can't wait to have a drink with him, Mallard and Kes in the bar,I will get the first round,It will be cheap because I am actually all of them. 
Well, I have offered to meet Mallard, KES80 and Dazzarugby65 on numerous occasions but they never appear. You and I have met after I wrote a letter to the Chairman arguing the case for your ban to be lifted and whilst I acknowledge that I wasn't the only supporter to defend your case, my letter does appear to have tipped the balance in your favour as your ban was lifted soon after. If you ever fancy getting me a beer, I won't refuse.
With regards to the issue of poster identity, you and a number of other posters on this thread support the idea of posters being honest about who they are. The only poster to challenge this is KES80/Mallard who has made a number of
lengthy posts on this thread attacking me and my supposed motives, yet still won't reveal his identity. The trust admin have remained curiously and suspiciously silent on this subject.
So no, I'm not squirming as I have nothing to squirm about. You probably know KES80/Mallard and despite your support for the Idea of posters being honest about who they are, prefer to pretend that I am somehow squirming rather than acknowledge that Mallard/KES80 doth protest too much, making it look to posters that they really are the same person.
This thread could have been a very short one if KES80/Mallard had just revealed his identity; not doing so pretty much confirms that they are the same person and/or have close links to the trust. As Marcus says, so what if this person is close to the trust and that's true but it would be healthy for debate for fans of the club to know who the person behind these views is. Having two or more profiles has been used to shut down debate on numerous occasions. I think it's only fair to supporters that we know who is shutting down that debate, don't you?
Stan, I am definitely me and me only, I am a farmer, I am 53 years old, Dazza is my nickname and my children were both rugby players, from this many people will know who I am, but I certainly don't need or indeed intend to put my full name on an open forum.

 Whilst there is much positivity about the chairman, I am bemused by the frequent reference to his "mistakes" etc., which is laced in with all the praise. Why do some feel the need to even mention this? Is it because those who previously criticised the chairman the most now have so much egg on their faces that they have to try to justify their previous criticism be frequently reminding us of these? Can we please move on from this constant reiteration of the chairman's previous so called errors of judgement.
Sorry Stan this post leaves egg on your face,nobody has to justify their previous criticism if they thought the actions at that time made him look a cock they said you are a cock! If now he has listened to critisism and reined himself in on social media and going the way that fans wish the club to go in then there will be praise? Mr Cleeve and myself have had our differences of opinion in the past,but every meeting between us is met with a handshake and polite conversation,so why do you try to stir up something which isn't there?
Thank you Griss, I often find myself disagreeing with many of your posts, but on this one we agree.

Sorry Stan,this thread was started as a positive and not a negative, if it has offended you I apologise , but this is a pat on the back for our chairman that I feel is well deserved for his positive reactions to criticism pinned on him in the past.i agree with you onwards and upwards but you can't just delete the past,what happened, happened.

Just a small sidenote, after yesterday's attendance our average home attendances for the current season are 64% higher than last season's, yes I realise it is early doors in terms of fixtures played but we still have some big attendances I am sure to come at home, we still have to play Boston and York at home to name but two, I firmly believe Mr Cleeve will support Mr Culverhouse with more funds if promotion is a possibility and bigger attendances helps this process .

I have to say what has happened to all the people on this forum who in the not to distant past were slaughtering our chairman with words of discontent and often bordering on hatred. This man has saved our club from mediocrity and driven us on to heights, that 14 months ago would have just been pipe dreams. He has made mistakes (Mr Culverhouse, Mr Clarke, the supporters trust, to name just a few) but has realised the errors he made and has done his best to rectify them. We now have good facilities, yes there is more to be done,but small steps at a time, we have a great looking team, yes we need more players added to make a great squad, hopefully bigger attendances will help in this regard. We really are punching above our weight at this moment in time, yes we are a big club, but there are definitely a lot bigger clubs playing at our level, the credit for this must go to Mr Culverhouse and Mr Bastock, we now have a playing surface to be proud of and can play the entertaining football the management wanted to play. Ultimately we must put the credit for this down to Mr Cleeve, well done and hopefully you and your team can deliver at least a play off spot again this season.

Evening Coastal. Firstly congratulations on the trip to Alfreton....glad you enjoyed it......a true supporter obviously.
As you say, a friendly part of the world.
The thread is certainly not about telling IC who to pick (as well you understand, I suspect) and in any case why on earth would IC pay any heed to me. If memory serves me you contributed to the thread earlier advocating a strong starting eleven, so you have done the same as me, albeit on the othet side of the fence.
I started the thread because I think it is important to actually look at the situation of a cup run from a clear financial perspective......there seems to be a general consensus that a run will generate extra revenue come what may.....I am just trying to show that this may not be the case if it adversely affects league form and related attendances. It is my view that the last two seasons have seen the main focus being on league results over cup runs. I personally believe that IC would do the same this year if he could. Hopefully the sorts of calculations I put forward here, are being done within the club, before they embark on a certain course of action ..it is in my opinion vital, so that the club makes the best use of its opportunities going forward, especially when it is currently a small fish in a big sea. I appreciate that many will find this a bit "cold", but it makes sense to me at least
Well KES, have sat back and read this thread as it progresses, have to say I can not agree with you on this one, I would always take a winning settled team to every match you could in a season. I agree we have a squad to use but in realism, we have a very small squad of players compared to many, an odd change is ok but keep that winning side together. Whether it be a cup game or league game, I have always wanted any team I have represented or supported to go out and win. The money from any cup run must be a bonus and the further you can progress the financial rewards are vast to clubs of our stature, I really do not think a cup run will affect league attendances at the Walks. Our current level of support is verging on the maximum we can realistically hope for at this moment in time, and personally I feel will wain when the weather changes.

Attendances not quite up to the 2008-09 level just yet.

many thanks for that admin, my point proven there, we are at the level of support this club can be expected to generate at this present time in our history. We could possibly push on and average 14 /1500 gates but that is where I personally see our support level. We live in a relatively small town compared to many clubs in this league hence the difference in attendance levels, York, Chester, Hereford. Darlington to name but a few are much bigger conurbations with much larger populations hence there support level.

Just reflecting on things.
Lynn have one of the best managers ever.
Also one of the best squads ever.
A chairman who has made these and other positives happen.
Huge catchment area for fans and business.
With sufficient funding the on pitch set up would be capable of getting to step 1 and off pitch significant investment would be required.
These set of circumstances may not be around for that long, due to player age and individual ambition.
Is the town and surrounds missing a huge opportunity here and do enough people out there really care about the club.
Is an attendance of 1000 home fans really the best the area can do for a side top of Conference North ?
Aren't there enough businesses in the area to throw a bit of financial clout into the pot to make a significant difference ?
If ever there was a time for things to really crack on off the pitch, this start to the season really should provide the incentive and impetus.... wouldn't you think ?
I agree with a lot of what you say, however in the many years I have been watching the LINNETS , our attendances have not been much higher than they are averaging now, yes you get the odd game with 2/2.5 k people in attendance, which in turn helps the season average, but at this moment in time 1200 or so is a good attendance for KLTFC. I recall many matches on a cold evenings in the Northern premier league when we were glad of 400. I would also like to say that there is a lot of uncertainty in business and can also see why companies are reluctant to release money for sponsorship, yes other clubs pull in sponsorship but we need people at the club to work on this and as I see it we are still a 1 man band on this point.

I do wonder if being given a run in first-team too soon effected him long term, or if his promise was never quite there.
Personally think it was the latter Loughborough, drafted into a squad and smoke blown up somewhere, when not quite possibly up to the standard required. Good luck to the young man.

Alfreton at home on Tuesday night is the perfect time to announce to this league that we are not just in it for the ride and are extremely serious about pushing for promotion. Yes I realise it is early doors in terms of the season so far, but 2 nd in the league beating 3rd in the league does indeed send out that STATEMENT. If York were to be beaten or held things would deffo look good on Wednesday morning. COYL, KEEP THE FAITH AND TURN OUT IN NUMBERS TO SUPPORT THIS SQUAD, the best we have seen at Lynn for many a year.
