I'm Spartacus!

Has anyone seen M A Hill, B & G , SC and Joe in the same room at the same time ?????

I've never been in the same room as M A Hill, or SC but I have been in the same Stand at the Walks, and at various other Grounds. As far as Joe is concerned, I wasn't there the night he visited, so I can't claim to have seen him in person, let alone be in the same room.

Joe's picture is easily obtainable on the internet (especially if you know his AKA name). I copied the photo and asked a couple of people if this was who they had seen on the night he was supposed to have visited, and they both confirmed it was. So yes, there is a Joe and yes, he was at the Walks the other night.

We have only heard what his involvement is from the one source. Does he have an involvement already, will he have at sometime soon, has he had a change of heart, is it all wishful thinking etc etc.

Being present the other night doesn't answer any of that (nor does the train ticket, which funnily enough could have been issued to another name that's been mentioned recently and would travel on that very same train to get to that particular match the other Tuesday night). At the moment, presumably to all the supporters, "Joe" is just a once only visitor to the Walks. He obviously exists, but if its the kind of Joe that so many expect, been led to expect, or want, is an entirely different thing.

If everything is going to plan and has been hinted at, why hasn't it all be finalised yet?


By the way, Grissles is definitely Sparticus........................I've seen the film.


And Pink, it still seems you are posting in the manner of an ex Lynn Official, just like Kes used to.   

Two of the three games planned for tonight were postponed, presumably due to the weather.

In the game that did proceed, Alfreton took all three points on their visit to Oxford.

The result saw them leapfrog Lynn, who are now down to 9th in the table.

I don’t believe all this tripe about Joe not being present off course he was there l no for a fact he was present I wish we had won to show him what a good team he had brought into but alas it wasn’t to be

Malcolm, I'm sure that a "Joe" was there.

Personally I do wonder if how he's involved is exactly as we have been informed.

As always time will tell on this one, as it will with regards to us being a good team or not.

Has there been an official announcement about the new commercial manager / director?

Not that I know of, but I believe it to be iniement.

If the new Football Club radio broadcast means the end of Radio Norfolk at Lynn games then I’ll miss Nick Bowlers commentary.  A very knowledgeable man on all things involving local football.

I don't think it would mean that to be honest. There has always been a very good working relationship between the football club and Radio Norfolk and I'd expect that to continue. One complimenting the other would be the ideal situation IMO.

If the Chairman had his own broadcasting option available, he may not wish to co-operate with the BBC on this one.

On the other hand, if Bal is given overall control of such activities (I believe he officially starts tomorrow) then that could be a different matter.

 

It's been quieter than usual recently (well at least on Social Media, with no change otherwise), but I expect that to change dramatically very soon.

A 80 minute goal for the Linnets is not enough to stop them going down 2-1 away to Leamington., after the hosts went 2 up after 8 minutes.

None of it seems to stack up....bizarre indeed.

I agree, but it's no more bizarre than many other matters over the past few years.

Just watched AL's post match interview. Seemed quite defensive: blaming officials, injuries, travelling etc perhaps with some justification but players might feed off this and use it as an excuse for under performance and poor outcomes?

"It's not my fault" culture.

It's everywhere these days, not just football. Get it off my desk, onto someone else's so they can deal with it.

Officials. Do Managers, players and supporters ever not criticise officials? If they do compliment, it's very rare

Injuries. All teams go through this at sometime during the season. It's part of football. Were South Shields injury free?

Travelling. Have they stopped the overnight stays? If not, that shouldn't even come into it. It's a waste of Chairmans money if he has to pay for expensive overnight stays but the Manager and players still believe that travelling is an issue. Maybe they should consider stopping the overnight stays and put the money into additional players. Anyway, I didn't think AL had a problem with doing lots of miles.

Agree Rod, if players are looking for an excuse, they'll latch onto this. Not exactly what you would call.motivational.

I wonder how they would cope as part timers holding down a job outside of football and having to ask for time off to travel to away games. This used to be a common occurrence at this level and probably still is for a number of Lynn's less cossetted rivals?!

I remember it well. I can even remember seeing players working on the day of a game!

May or may not be anything to do with it, but wasn't watching football and being a supporter of your local team, and the actual match day experience, far more enjoyable in those days?
