Yes but he lied about eating the sandwich

I'm always lying about eating the sandwiches.......and the chocolate, and the cake and the pork pies! 😋

I seem to recall Boris's misdemeanors adding up to a bit more than eating a sandwich....but ....back to football.......a large part of the issue is of course the ridiculous amount of money paid out in the game now on players and the fact that not enough of the cash is shared out fairly down the pyramid.

Football at non league level never used to provide a full time Income for many players...now it's almost expected at step2 and step 1. However, with the ridiculous way that step 2 is set up, with no Midland division, its hard to see how a Norfolk team could be truly competitive, given the vast amount of travel required, without significant wages to compensate players.

There's other things that can help offset the problems of the  location of a Club.

The re set button was never pressed after COVID. Missed opportunity.

We never did see those EFL players on £400 a week at the Walks.

Will be interesting to see how  some of the Clubs Will
React to this.  Employers NI now rising to 15%. With the threshold now kicking in at £5k.  I guess Lynn are fortunate that we have had a decent increase in numbers coming through the gate and have a benefactor like Joe behind it all.   The new Commercial guy will hopefully be hitting the ground in November as well.

I feel other Clubs with bigger squads will be hit harder than us as we are running on an 18 man squad plus the Assistant Manager.

The increases in employer National Insurance means that employers will have to pay an ADDITIONAL £900 for each employee on median average earnings (circa £33,000 pa).

I doubt many of our squad are earning less than this, so I think it's fair to say than an extra (circa) £18,000 plus is going to have to be found, irrespective of Joe or anyone else picking up the tab!

And to think this lot jumped all over Boris just because he ate a sandwich during lockdown down! That event doesn't look quite so important now!

Following yesterdays budget, people will have their own opinions on what the budget is going to deliver, but I'm wondering how it will affect Football and in particulars cash strapped Clubs in NL, NLN and NLS?

With the onus of tax increases being placed firmly at the door of the business sector, many of whom are still trying to recover from the problems Covid gave them, followed by the current war in The Ukraine, any kind of increase in outgoings must make business owners feel as if they are being kicked while they are down.

How will it affect Full Time Non League Clubs? I presume that full time footballers are employed in the same manner as other employed people? 

If Clubs are running with a 20 plus playing staff, that's going to be one hell of a lot more money going out the door, at the same time as income revenues will continue to be restricted due to the general cost of living (and now also with the expected cost of mortgages increasing).

now another win at Chorley I hope boston dont go for AL

By the looks on their forum, they're more likely to go after Setch.

Especially if he took Fletcher Toll with him.

Would be interesting to see what Setch could do at that level?

It would be interesting to see what Fletcher Toll could do at that level as well.

Think personally they will look for a manager and possibly players(if they can afford it) who have experienced that level

One thing I'm confident in is that they will keep within their budget and won't spend what they haven't got.

Former Linnet, Sportsman and local businessman Phil Ringwood has passed away.

RIP.

A 2-1 away win for Linnets.

Jones saves penalty.

Lynn then go one down before coming from behind to secure all three points.

Att:1,155.

Lynn move up to 2nd place in table.

Season one ..... saves them from relegation

Season Two ...... gets them promotion.

Season Three (Oct) ......sacked

The World of Football

He lasted a lot longer than some of our Managers have!   

Is the Asian Gentleman that's been introducing himself to supporters as Bal at the last two or three home games, going to be our new Commercial Director? Apparently he has been very interested in the whole match day experience and not just watching the games. If so, that show's some forward thinking is going into it from day one.

If Bal is our man, I've no idea what EFL Club he has previously been involved with. It's common knowledge that Colchester are looking for a new Commercial man, but then again I would guess that such a position is a bit of a merry-go-round for may Clubs.   

Maybe, maybe not.

I do wonder how secure Cully is in the job at Boston ?  The same goes for Widdler at Aldershot.  Fans seem less than happy with the latter and his Boy.

Isn't the Boy Team Captain these days?

No goals at the Walks today.

Kings Lynn 0 v Leamington 0.

Att: 1011.

Very pleased to have received an email this evening inviting me back to The Walks tomorrow.

This is good interaction with fans. Pyramid type marketing theory is important for the likes of Lynn. ....ie although it's important to also look for completely new contacts, pre existing contacts are often the best source of new business.

That and Hot Dogs!

We're being spoilt now!

Do let me know B & G, is the sign at the ground in sync with the website ........I don't really want to be finding fault......but come on guys it's really important that the off pitch stuff matches whats happening on the field of play, especially as it's a full time club. It's Thursday evening, less than 2 days from Leamington at home and the website is two matches behind where it ought to be.

Next match sign at the front of the ground is up to date and has been for a few days now
