You cannot but admire how our new manager has gone about restructuring the squad. Being fast out of the blocks is something of an understatement! But what a contrast with off field activities and before that comment is jumped on from certain quarters, i am not talking about the financial intricacies and detail but as i posted previously, is it unreasonable to ask who is running the club day to day: who is our proactive manager reporting to, who is responsible for ticket pricing policy etc?

When Colin Fuller posted that the official club website had confirmed Bal as CEO, with no mention of Mr Cleeve (Colin subsequently posted that the page in question had been taken down and that is still the case) i thought i would seize the moment and write to our new CEO, congratulating him and confirming that Mr Cleeve's exit would encourage me to return as a paying supporter, with one proviso: that more appreciation might be shown to older supporters by way of a more competitive  concession ticket price, which had not been the case when Mr Cleeve ran things. I made a constructive suggestion for which i take no credit; Coastal Linnet had suggested this in an earlier forum post: A book of ten flexible competitively priced concessionary tickets. I would most certainly purchase one as would i believe a number of others whose attendance at games is governed by such as health and weather.
 
Disappointingly but unsurprisingly, i have  not had a response.

Maybe an opportunity to attract an anonymous sponsor?

This seems to encapsulate KLTFC?

'Exitus acta probat'

Some excellent non league performances: not least Tamworth and Kettering. i thought it somewhat ironic though that the standout player for Kettering, who scored the equaliser and assisted the winning goal, was a 19 year old locally born academy graduate.

As a life long (from the mid 1950's) 'Linnet' supporter, i am delighted that Adam Lakeland appears to be about to deliver what he promised when he joined the club and i was particularly encouraged by his recent comment in a Lynn News article: -

"Adam Lakeland wants to restore a connection between the club and the town, by turning his side into a promotion-challenging outfit next season." Though i am with him all the way on this, i so wish the club owner was of a similar 'connecting with the town' mindset.

Perhaps there was a time when i would have turned a blind eye towards such as anonymous sponsors (how contradictory is that statement?!) and mysterious overseas investors, plus inflated admission prices. But to me now it all adds up to a prevailing attitude that treats supporters as customers, most of whom are obviously deemed to be of limited intelligence. Pay up and don't ask too many questions is seemingly the strategy.

At the age of nearly eighty, i can understand that Mr Cleeve would not view me as even a medium term investment but the level of disdain shown towards many older supporters really sticks in my craw, to the point where principle comes into play: though some might view this as 'cutting of my nose to spite my face'? The ultimate irony though is that due to personal circumstance i have only been able to pay  occasional visits to The Walks in recent seasons. Now i can......but won't!

The build up to the match and the game itself used to be eagerly anticipated and was the high spot of my week. Regrettably no longer, for the reasons outlined above. Added to which it is not financially practical for me like many, to purchase a season ticket and yes, i can afford to pay the inflated uncompetitive admission price on the day but on a point of principle i won't. Example. Concession pricing: Lynn, standing £17 seated £19. Boston (a league above - in every sense!) standing £14, seated £15..

I will still follow the club's fortunes and post on this site, unless i am barred (!) but will continue to forgo that which i miss most!

Scored two last night in Blackpool's 3-3 draw at Fleetwood.

78th Minute substitute today in 2-1 loss to Nottingham Forest

Seems to be doing a good job at Corby. 5-1 win on Saturday with jason Lee and David Bell in the team. His Northampton contacts still seem in place (Shaun Macwilliams?) with this young man scoring two

Still going strong at AFC Rushden.......He scored in their 2-1 win at Spalding.
