Talk on another social media platform that Gyasi will be leaving.

Nothing confirmed.

 

Chadwick out on loan to Royston, for an initial 28 day period.

Norwich City report losses of 20 million in 2024/2025. It would have been 40 million if it hadn't have been for player sales.


Wage bill 121% of turnover!


Just what is wrong with these people that run football Clubs?

Quote from: peter on November 06, 2025, 11:46:48 AMWhy would the trust hand over any money £30000 or £60000 for "a foot in the door" and be offered such a small percentage of the shares. Then whatever say  they had would make no difference.The money would be swallowed up and they would be left a percentage of nothing.

What I don't believe has been considered is what happens when Jo calls time and sells his majority stake to someone else.

Once the deal has been done it will be so easy for Jo or any new owner to get the Trust out, unless they had a bottomless pot of money (which they don't). So it's not just a case of them having a % of nothing, they could very easily have no % at all, and after having put all their members money into the Club.

What also needs to be remembered is that it doesn't really matter what Bal's intentions are, as he's only an employee (I understand an employee of Jo's TSI, and not the Club). So the personal friendships that have developed between Bal and certain people on the Trust committee could all be worthless in an instant if he moves on, or if Jo has a change of heart, or if circumstances dictate that he has to walk away from the Club.

Pricing

Away Seating - Adult £17 - Concession £11 - Child (6-16) £6 - Child (under 6) £2
Away Standing - Adult £15 - Concession £9 - Child (6-16) £4 - Child (under 6) Free

Enter Turnstile 3/4

How is it that the majority of teams in our league can afford to charge a lower concession price? As a professed community minded / caring club, surely a little more consideration might be shown to the elderly and/or infirm?

Although the club have the massive advantage of only paying a peppercorn rate for the ground (apparently it's more expensive to hire a pitch for a Saturday afternoon at River Lane than the rent on the Walks.........at the end of day, taxpayers subsidising things), we have to assume other costs must be higher. Some of these costs are of the Clubs own making.

The DCMS loan for one. The Club decided to take that, not the supporters.

The Clubs choice to operate a full time squad.

TSI wanting their money back. I don't suppose anyone other than Bal or Jo knows if that's being paid back yet, but it could be.

The apparent arrangement Bal said he had come to with HMRC. Presumably that means paying off arrears that had occured. No idea if that's all cleared up now.

Most Clubs at this level that have a Benefactor won't have a CEO to pay. Even if our CEO is not employed by the Club but via TSI, presumably this cost will have to be recouped. That can't be cheap!

Probably other matters not covered here. 

So, it's the supporters that have to incur the higher costs, and from what I have learned over recent months, also the taxpayer where  possible (ie Grants are not "free money"....they usually come via the tax payer).

I suppose it's all logical to some.   

Weather looking very good for tonight.

This fixture couldn't have come at a better time for us.

I'll revise my forecast as a 3-0 win (I can't see us conceding) and now 1150 in attendance due to the Cully effect.

Quote from: Mallard on November 02, 2025, 02:27:13 PMRowe had a team on a high while Culverhouse has inherited a team on the floor.

We all know why that is.

The last league game win for Rowe was August 30th against a team that spent 7 hours on the bus and arrived late. Did he really leave a team 'on a high'?

Followed by a narrow lose to Kiddy. A point on the road at both Alfreton and Marine.  Tearing Chesham apart in the Cup.   Then a few days after he went sticking one into Royston.  So yeah on a high I would have said.

I don't think anyone can deny that the uncertainty surrounding the appointment of a new Manager has cost us big time. Not a very good decision to allow it to drag on so long, but I guess there must have been some logical reason that we are not party to, as to why it did.

Cully's returned now, so onward's and upwards.He gave a very clear description of the state of the team. If anyone can change that for the positive in a very short period of time, then I've every confidence it will be him.

After Tuesdays game, I'm sure he will 100% know what he's dealing with and what he needs to do, so presumably we'll see some in's and outs.

Good luck for tomorrow night.

 

Quote from: Walks In The Sunshine on November 02, 2025, 10:32:34 PMCulverhouse and Bastock back at The Walks in charge of Lynn.

A decent away point on Saturday

Leamington lower than us in the league.......

So, what do we think - result and attendance??

I think a 3-1 win and an attendance of 1200

I don't always do midweek games - I live and work 40 plus miles away from Lynn these days - but this is one match I need to attend to support the players and new management team

Can't wait!!
(Which means we'll probably lose 1-0 in the 95th minute and an attendance of 900    )

The most I can hope for, and expect, is a win and gate of just over 1000 (it being a Tuesday night).

Cully didn't use the word high or low to describe his team, but the terms he used and the point he was making was as good as.

Cully's new era commences with a 0-0 away draw with Southport.


Att: 961


Which team would be happiest with that result?

Or would both view it as a success?

Quote from: Kevin Holland on November 01, 2025, 12:43:52 PMNew management.

Same fans, same team.

Perfect recipe for success

I can see a play off place at the very least and I'm looking forward to the ride.

No reason reason that can't be the case Kev.

Hopefully it all starts today!
