Thoughts guys ?   Looks as though it could be a big money spinner.

Income to the Club wise, how's that going to work? What's it actually mean in pound notes? 

Obviously its nice to have any additional money coming in, but as its not just Lynn that will benefit, any income Lynn received will be balanced out by the  same amount of money going to other Clubs. Surely it will be Status Quo on this front  (or Will NPL get Lions share).

I suppose it could help overall, but it won't give us a leg up over our competition. If some Clubs use additional money generated to go towards the playing budget, it will just help fuel the already spiraling costs of player wages.  i.e. if one Club feeds their share into their playing budget, other Clubs will have to follow and do the same so they are not left behind with regards to quality of players being signed.

Also, how will fans benefit? Could this additional income be used to lower the cost of match day tickets?

Spot on Paul good to see fresh money being pumped into the Club.  Lessens  the load  on Joe and indeed SC.   Does anyone know the anonymous sponsor of the main stand has renewed yet ?

Can we assume these new deals coming in are the results of the new International Manager that SC was advertising for a few months back?  Anyone know who it is ?

Could the International Manager and Joe be one and the same? Surely there is a commercial opportunity here for our entrepreneurial club owner to launch a board game, loosely based upon Cluedo?  Find the sponsor,, identify the investor etc etc??

Nocluedo?

We have an appropriate name for the game but how to solve the mystery?

Could the answer lie on that infamous table? If so, where is it hidden?

Behind you!

Another friendly tonight at Soham.  Will this still be for getting minutes into legs or more getting a settle team together or will that be more for the Leiston game ?

Won 5-0.
