And the good days just get better, great result, great support and great looking down from the top of the league. We really have nailed it over the last 2/3 weeks, we keep bagging the points with an occasional blip(Alferton), but those just below us seem to be dropping more points and more frequently than us. Titles are not won in January but a good month for the Linnets could well see us in a very healthy position. The teams around us must now be taking us as serious contenders in this title race ,after 2 very good wins against a top team like Boston United 

  Another good day at the office for the squad, only a draw but with York,Chester,Spennymoor and Southport all losing we extend our lead over all these. Farsley and Brackley winning edges them closer to us but I am sure they would rather be in our position than there's at this stage of the season. Brackley, I believe will be a threat at the business end of the season, they keep grinding out results and gently climbing the league relatively unnoticed by many, they are seasoned in this league and never seem to be far from the top come April on limited resources available to them.  Well done to the squad today a point at Alfreton is not a bad return, just warming up for Boston. COYL.

I believe I heard over tannoy yesterday about the bucket going round the new Frost/pitch protection covers. I may have heard wrong but said they need around £4-5k to be able make this happen.

I know you can get automatic rollers from either goal to goal, or side to side of pitch, and this doesn’t need much manual work to operate. So reckon this should/could be the better option, it may cost slightly more. But for the Steve (groundsman) it’d save him needing more and more volunteers to help get them on and off.

But personally didn’t see the collection bucket come near me yesterday. Boston at home games do a collection jar for all loose change that goes around every game, and I believe over last 3 seasons it’s raised £3,500 already 🤷🏻‍♂️

I seem to recall that it was originally stated that a bucket collection would be held in the away end at York Street , maybe I am wrong but if this is the case, it is a chance to all put a pound or two in to help the club along in it's quest to obtain a pitch cover. This has been mooted many times in the past, let's all join forces and help the club reach this goal.

 

Top of the league and seeing the teams, ex league teams below, I never thought I would see the day 
Just hope we can hold on to Cully and the squad, to fight for even greater honours and dare we even dream of English League Football one day!

  I have been thinking along the same lines as you Linnet, I believe there are 7 clubs below us in the league who have previously been members of the English Football League. This is definitely one of the high points in the history of this football club, and as you I hope we can keep hold of Mr Culverhouse at least until our fate in this season's title/promotion race is indeed settled.
I,as I am sure are many others,realise that our manager has ambitions to manage as higher level as possible, hopefully with KLTFC, but in reality we do expect he will indeed probably move on to better himself, but to do this hopefully he will keep winning with KLTFC thus putting himself in that managerial merrygorund melting pot.

Having received numerous comments on the recent condition of the pitch, I thought I ought to respond.

With the greatest respect to the Chairman, Management, Players and of course the fans, I cannot be called to account for the amount of rain we have had in the last couple of months. For everyone’s information, we have had, without splitting hairs, 320 mm (old money 13 inches) of rain the the last 7 weeks.

Also, for your information, one inch of water equals 113 tons of water per acre.   The pitch is one and a half acres. Therefore, we have effectively had 2,200 tons of water in 7 weeks. Even with the new drainage installed, I have no control over the amount of rain we have had.  I can assure you that I will do my best to keep the pitch flat and divot free at 3 pm. What happens during the game is out of my hands.

Rant over.

  Well said Steve, I can't give you enough praise for the state our pitch is in, excellent compared to only 12 months ago is all I can say. Being a farmer myself and being unable to get on the land to plant our crops,I fully understand your dilemmas, if indeed people are complaining. Ignore them, they have obviously got no worthwhile knowledge of soil maintenance and condition. Please keep doing what you are doing the pitch looks the best it has ever done in my near 50 years of attending the Walks.

  I was reading earlier today that York City have sold the naming  rights to there new stadium for next season to LNER (London Noth Eastern Railways , I believe), this is obviously good for them financially and a guaranteed income for next season already sorted. This is where the difference in the team behind the team are, we struggle to sell our sponsorship opportunities yet they are already sorting out next season. I realise they are ex league, but they are now in the same league as us, so therefore we need to be trying to pull in more sponsorship. Why, oh why, do KLTFC seem unable to attract sponsors? ( please do not blame the chairman). There are many large companies around West Norfolk, we really do need to keep banging on there doors while we are riding the crest of the wave and sell this football club to them. 

  just home and clicked on the internet to read the report, have to say, I have just read the Gateshead report via the link on the live feed, good balanced report and up loaded very quickly (putting KLTFC to shame) only thing I disagreed with was there attendance figure which was given in the 300s, not 1060. All in all credit to Gateshead they made it difficult, but KLTFC showed there class in the end to snatch those 3 points and keep us top of the league.
