Linnets' Fans' Forum

Agree with everything in WW's post.  To be honest it felt 'flat' on Boxing Day which has been my only trip to the Walks this season and I can't say anything that day (other than missing the blokes I stood with) or since has made me regret ceasing to be a 'regular'

I didn't mean to excuse the club's lateness and yes you would expect a well run business to file these things on time.  As it turns out it seems there was nothing to report anyway as the situation on the 11th December remained unchanged as per the Confirmation Statement filed today.  Maybe something has or hasn't happened since then which supporters may or may not be informed of at some point?

Lynn FC Ltd (07102863) Confirmation Statement for Companies House is overdue. It should have been filed on the 11th of December.

Whilst the form must be made up to 11th December, it was only due at Companies House by the 25th so just a week overdue which with Christmas holidays etc doesn't seem quite so bad.  I had hoped for some clarity in the Boxing Day programme notes but can't imagine SC has ever written a more bland two pages in his life although I haven't seen any other examples from this season so maybe it's been par for the course?

Would a large investment into the club be visible on the clubs books on Company's House ?...genuine question.

Not immediately, the latest set of accounts on Companies House are up to 31st May 2023 so well before Joe's involvement.  The 31st May 2024 figures have to be filed by 28th February 2024 so something may be clearer then.  Currently SC is the only listed director and the Sports Council loan is the only listed charge so difficult to see how Joe's 'investment' has gone into the club (unsecured loan?) although it could just be the club is a bit behind on filing the information.

At the level Blyth find themselves at it might well work.  Think at our level it would be a struggle.  Hybrid between individual shareholders and Community fan owned would have a chance at Step 2.

Mall, I partially agree in that it would be a huge struggle for Lynn to go this route at step 2 and a hybrid is probably the only real viable option for Linnets fans due to various factors but that doesn't mean it can't work at step 2 (or above) elsewhere.  Maybe the landscape will change post Independent Regulator but can't see that filtering down to our level and just gives the FA even more of an excuse to ignore their regulatory role throughout the pyramid.

Congratulations to Blyth and their supporters.....I'm envious!!

That's two of us Rod but not sure that is enough were it ever to happen in our corner of west Norfolk.  Like Pink, I wish them all the best for the future

As Mall says, a sad decision on many levels for the club, losing one of the few bright lights of last season and blowing a hole is SC's stated model for the club in terms of bringing players through and selling them on at a profit but can't blame the lad for wanting to play, wish him all the best wherever he goes.

Junior has signed a three year deal with Notts County - https://www.nottscountyfc.co.uk/news/2023/march/junior-morias-signing-150323/

Seems a strange signing based on his performances for us but hope it works out for all parties

Whilst not a universally held view, I wish IC all the best and as Boston is a local trip so prefer them doing 'not quite as well as us' rather than bombing.  Appreciate neither of his spells at the Walks finished well but the football we played for the majority of his time here at step 3 & step 2 was second to none.  That said he had some flaws (I guess why he was at Lynn and not in the EFL) and his lack of faith in younger players and stubbornness meant his tenure(s) were always likely to end in tears but I personally prefer to think about the good times rather than bad.

Brett McGavin signs for Torquay https://torquayunited.com/live-text-incoming/   19:30

Must be getting towards the end of his career as he was here with the old club.  Certainly gave 100% and probably didn't get the credit he deserved as was tarnished in some eyes as being ex-Norwich, thankfully that is one of the things that has changed in the past 10 years where there is a much better view of players making the move West along the A47 (Norman, McFadden etc)

Mitchell has gone to Notts County on a two year deal.  https://www.nottscountyfc.co.uk/news/2021/august/kairo-mitchell-signs-030821/

Mazza has moved from Eastleigh to Barnet for 2021-22

Alfie Payne has moved to Lowestoft during the lockdown https://www.edp24.co.uk/sport/norwich-alfie-payne-signs-lowestoft-6499858

Never thought we quite got the best out of him, maybe he didn't have the physical stature required to replace Jarvis but certainly had the footballing nous to fill that role (outstanding in the York home game when he came off the bench and just made us tick all day).  Wish him all the best and think if they play him deeper than we did can see him opening up defences for Hawkins and others to get a hatfull.
