Linnets' Fans' Forum

I'm going to Singapore next week.
Watch this space...

Lynn FC Ltd (07102863) Confirmation Statement for Companies House is overdue. It should have been filed on the 25th of December (last date).

It's a very simple form that takes 2 minutes to complete (at a cost of £45). Mandatory reporting, so I presume a fine for late filing will now be applied.

By coincidence, I had to complete one myself around the same time, and it was confirmed by Companies House straight away. Just mentioning this as it being the holiday period doesn't come into it when looking for reasons acknowledgement not being received from Companies House.

The  Confirmation Statement just confirms basic details of the Company. One of the things asked is for details of People with Significant Control (PSC). With what's been going on recently with Joe and Bal, it does make me wonder if the powers that be at the Club have just been waiting for the ink to dry on any agreement before submitting the form.

Not the way it should be done ( i.e. it should be submitted before cut off date, and then amended after), but just waiting a few days before confirming who's in charge, could be the reason for the late filing. Obviously if they had submitted the form with new details, it would be out there for all to see and as we know, that's not what the Club usually wants.

The soap opera that is The Walks is spinning out another fascinating storyline.

The talk on the terraces is that the club's yet-to-be-officially confirmed new commercial director and investor Joseph Phua are running things at King's Lynn Town.

The latter's investment seemingly kept the Linnets afloat in late 2023 but as to how much was pumped in to steady the ship is anybody's guess. The same goes for whether it's given the Singaporean more control.

However, Cleeve's silence and lack of clarity from official media channels is only fanning the flames of the rumour mill.

Lynn's owner used his column in a rival local newspaper to state "Jo has bought in a new commercial director with Football League experience" and it would be "announced shortly". That was published online on November 23.

What's the delay? Why does everyone around town know about 'Bal' but nothing has been officially confirmed about his arrival and role?

Cleeve's deleted post on LinkedIn seeking further investment poured further confusion around the state of play. What is going on?

Lynn Football Club, old and reformed, has long provided enough drama to rival EastEnders. Yet it really doesn't need to be this cloak and dagger. Some transparency would just quieten all the noise and let everyone get behind, and understand, the vision for the future.

Prior to today, Scunthorpe had only managed 6 goals in their last 6 games. That's only one more than Lynn managed over the same amount of games. In fact, they hadn't won any of their last 6 home games.

I think it's reasonable if people expected something out of today's game, even if it was only a share of the points. No doubt AL was expecting a very tough game, but money on it that he never thought he would be 3 down at HT. I'm sure he was expecting to come away with something today.

Scunthorpe must have been ecstatic. Only 6 goals in 6 games and and no win in their previous 6 home games, and then they see three goals going in after 49 minutes.........I bet they didn't expect to see that!

As Mallard has said, the January games will say a lot about where we are as a team.

Heard it could be a former Linnet Ken Charles from St Albans (Culverhouse)

Could be, as St Alban's have just signed a new player. I presume they are the same as most, with one in and one out.

A grim trip up north for Linnets as they lose 3-0 away to Scunthorpe, in the last game of the year.

All the goals were scored n the first half.

Att: 4165.

Lynn drop to 4th place.

Scunthorpe move to the top of the league.

Happy new year to all Lynn Supporters.

I confess to not having been to The Walks for quite a while, and just watch whatever is available on video. I've see enough, however, to wonder why Crane is always on the bench.  He appears to have some of the pace and skill that we completely lack on too many occasions, and he seems to fall into the trap suffered by Barrett when he was here and clearly the best player in the club at the time.  Managers often convince themselves that they possess some kind of tactical knowledge that makes them rely on their Subbuteo Board formations in which the most skilful players are surplus to requirements. It's complete nonsense!  Successful teams are those that, believe it or not, actually pick their best players!  You might not win with them, but you sure as Hades won't without them!

And of course, unlike Pep, they need a Plan B.

Are we really a full-time club? Never seen so much head tennis since the Webb days at Southern Prem level and that was the level of football played. Very poor. We seem to drop down to the level of the teams we face and fare better by higher clubs

Do you think AL will have his full time squad in for training tomorrow, to iron out a few problems that were apparently evident to him today?

Plus the Manager wasnt very complimentary toward the people who pay his wages.  Reckons it's his job to call out the fans when they aren't doing their job. 

That's got to be very high on the list of the most ridiculous comments ever to come out of The Walks!   

Lynn draw 2-2 against Needham Market at Walks.

With Curzon suffering another home defeat today, they drop to second as Kidderminster leap frog into 1st spot, following their 3-0 away win at Hereford.

Lynn drop to 3rd, equal on points to Curzon, who have a superior goal difference.

Att:  1213.

I have to say, with the positive things I've heard about Bal, I'm surprised/disappointed that he has not informed us what's going on. It's no secret that he's there and working hard, as he's been out and about making himself known on match days.

No shortage of methods he could use. i.e. Club website, X, Facebook, Forum.

A couple of weeks ago someone suggested same BS, different day.

I really had high hopes that wasn't to be the case.

Is there to be a new Commercial Manager, or was it an urban myth?  If we do manage to go up, such an appointment would appear to be essential.

Linnets close the gap at the top with a superb 1-1 result at Chester.

With Curzon getting stuffed 4-1 away at Leamington today, Lynn move within one point off the top (Curzon have two games in hand and superior GD).
