Let’s hope the new guy Bal hits the ground running and proves more successful that his predecessors. Least he comes from the right background. So maybe has half a chance.
You haven't noticed some subtle changes already?  As one example, the next home game was advertised outside the ground the week before last!

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.

Especially Lowestoft! 😅

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.

I do have it from the most reliable of sources that Joe does actually exist and he was seen at the Ground last Tuesday, although apparently he didn't talk to anyone. Two questions: Who told the Source? If he exists, is his interest in the Club in the format that has been suggested to us?

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.

As for the blame game Manager are always quick to put out mistakes made by officials. Like they are anything different to anyone else. Managers are very cautious though to call out a player who has given away a goal, missed that golden chance. To easy to shift the blame onto the officials. They are an easy target.
Maybe with what AL was able to put on the bench yesterday ( not a game changer in sight) then where does he lay the blame for that one.?
I suppose it could be said that if a club is serious about promotion, they should never find themselves in that position. Therefore, IF there are people to “blame” the shortlist is, well, Short!

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?

A week ago we were in with a shout of going top. Tonight we sit 7th in the final play spot. Tuesday could see us slip outside of the play-offs. This League is so so tight and not much in it from top to bottom.
Two lads out of the Academy on the bench today with a goalkeeper and two defenders. We look to be running it tight in terms of numbers. Will that be our Achilles heel ?
Two teams immediately below us have games in hand, as do a couple above us in play off positions. All very tight but with recent results it's starting to look more like a mid table than play off team.

So Joe documented his journey in some detail to the discount hotel...and that's where the trail ended 
Why didn't he buy a return ticket? Why choose to post a picture of just his train ticket and not the plane ticket? International man of mystery.

3rd loss on the bounce for Lynn as they go down 2-1 away at South Shields.
Margetts returns to starting line up but misses from the spot.
Att: 2622.
Elsewhere, Scunthorpe also lose again (at home) with Chorley winning their home game.

Well it's all a bit strange. Not sure whether others agree, but from my perspective one of the reasons the town doesn't buy into the club in a big way is the lack of clarity/transparency. What are the current aims of the club....what are its financial capabilities? Is there any point at all in finishing in a play off position. The gap which exists to the National League means promotion would probably require a whole new squad...can the club afford it ?. It's difficult to get too enthusiastic when there is no obvious plan or end result in mind.
Hey Joe, watcha doin' with that Club in your hand..................................

What surprised me is that someone who is so important to the future of The Linnets, had to travel 17 hours by plane and then had to get a Train from London to Lynn! Why wasn't he picked up from London by a Club representative? Doesn't the Club have a car or any personnel available these days?

Just all seems very odd
What, even for us?
