Don't think people should feel to down after this one. Ok we gave up 2 points at the death.  8th place, with W3 D3 L2. is not a bad start for a team put together in a few short weeks.  We are going to get bumps in the Road.

Hopefully Jo and his side kick Bal will be satisfied with the start. If JR needs a few extra recruits in I'm sure Bal and the Trust will find a few quid to help out.

Still waiting to see who the new Director(s) are going to be.  Didn't someone say that was happening this past week.?

Questions questions
Give me no answers.
That's all they ever give me.
Questions questions.

Tomorrow Jo, Bal and a Trust Board member ( as a representative) added as new Directors ?

Mallard &  Blue & Gold should be on that list. With their intelligence networks, they would be invaluable to the running of the Club

Picked my season ticket up yesterday. Incidentally I am not the Blueboy who initiated this post, perhaps admin can explain how 2 people can have the same username.

This needs nipping in the bud, before others start sharing usernames 

Give them enough rope

I don't kno where you're getting info from..defo not what I heard, not what Ive heard!! 

The old grapevine  back in business.

A long list of failed businesses,  suspensions etc. Yet still fit & proper to own a football club  Would an independent regulator have stopped them.

I wonder who the letter was addressed to?

It seems to me that whatever the thread starts off discussing it gets hijacked by the same people to the subject they want to continually harp on about. Totally agree if you want to keep banging on about the new ownership or the trust then start a new thread. Its becoming boring and if you started the thread with ownership or trust a lot of people wouldnt bother to read the same misinformation .

Excellent post. Hard for some to talk about on the pitch, as they don't/won't go to games so have to keep posting the same old.......

And of course there's some that only come on here to 

Excellent post

I am just totally confused by what is going and which way the club is heading.
I can see that the club needs to be competitive this season but I'm not certain where it is meant to be heading longer term.
We hear all the talk about it being a community club and community involvement but not really sure what Jo's ambition is.
Is it to set up a self sustaining club which he can walk away from in 2-3 years?
If so then I would have thought promotion this season would be bad news with the additional costs it would bring.
I believe Bal is an interim CEO - so assume that somehow, magically and new CEO will appear from the community, what if it doesn't?


Most of the fan/community owned clubs, except Exeter City, Newport County, and AFC Wimbledon exist at our current level or below and I can't see a town of Lynn's size ever achieving more than that unless we continue with the wealthy owner model, which we have learnt from experience may not work.

I believe the Trust members have been asked to vote on the Trust's involvement with the club, with a very short deadline to make a decision, although I'm not sure why there is such urgency.
If you have a part ownership of something, then I can understand that you inherit a part of the debt. Given the state of the club, is this a good time?

Not for me. Not enough info given to accept the offer at this time.

Was proclaimed by Gainsborough back in May Grissles.. Keep up.

Typical negative comments from some. Why not wait until all is normalised before making comments or go to the meeting and ask questions rather than speculating on here.

I would say valid rather than negative comments. Things are a long way from being normalised, based on what I've read

So if the Trust is given a 10% share in the Club in exchange for £95k. Does this mean they would also own a 10% share of club debts, which appear to be more than the £95k  on the table. Plenty to discuss before putting to the membership.
