Had a listen to AL’s post match interview and Billy Heath’s as well. Looks like the battle was won in the changing rooms before the match.
I enjoyed both interviews and thought that AL was.up front in his assessment of the performance but Heath's mention of such as 'desire, determination, domination, energy and full time' very much resonated.

I listened to the excellent commentary which suggested that the Alfreton game plan, of giving Lynn little or no time on the ball, worked to.perfection.

None of the above would seem to answer Colin's original question???
Thank goodness for Warrington's excellent highlights package.

You could argue that someone who was on trial, never played a competitive game or signed a contract is not actually an ex-Linnet??
Fair comment but a missed opportunity. Setch obviously saw his potential when we didn't.

Much of the content predictable but no mention of the intergalactic, global all singing and dancing commercial super executive? I cannot wait for Joe to finally show his face above the parapet. If Mr Cleeve is really serious about engaging with the community on all levels, to encourage the more than a few who have gone missing to return to the Walks, how about reducing the pay on the day admission fee to a competitive level, not least the concession price. I'm sure that Joe would dig a little deeper into his pockets to facilitate that?
Now that would really show that you care?!

Must say it does feel more engaging to just hear about the Football side from AL and not hear of SC’s latest scheme ( there’s been a lot ). Maybe people in and around the Club have had a word with him to take more of a backseat on SM and concentrate on getting on with things behind the scenes.
Maybe Joe will become the voice of the club, more likely perhaps if he is satisfied with his ROI? The last couple of Podcasts haven’t really offered that much and have been poor, content wise. So maybe he’s knocked that idea on the head as well. The test will be if he can either do the same with his paper Column or just keep it very focussed.

Being a life long supporter, like Rod, I totally agree with his comments re the Club owner's attitude towards his 'customers'.
However, to support the efforts of AL and his team on and off the field, I will pay the required entrance fee through gritted teeth in the realisation that SC doesn't have in him the capacity to change.
As the saying goes ' Do bears walk in the woods?'
Kenny, i absolutely respect your position and decision but i have reached the point where enough is enough.

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.
Limited intelligence?
Are these one and the same as "the buffoons" once mentioned in a match day program?
Only the names have been changed etc etc?

Understand and agree with sone of what you are saying. I guess you are not really a high priority on the Clubs target list….. However.
What would SC and the Club in general need to do to entice you back to the Walks, so you would attend when you felt fit and able ?
Hi Mallard Pricing is an issue but not just of itself. To me it is illustrative of a bigger problem. A prevailing attitude towards customers / supporters that borders on disdain. All i would add is just look across The Wash. Chalk and cheese!

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.

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!

I think you guys are onto something here....obviously the room names need changing to reflect a football club.......changing room, officials room, boardroom, showers, VIP lounge etc Not sure if the old lead piping could stay, but most of the other objects need replacing...suggest rope by scarf and there might be a case for a football rattle, team key fob and the 1970/80s match day hot tea I guess. Think the characters names need to reflect the global reach of the club these days, to reflect the investment opportunities........I will put forward the name of Gus from Sparta.

Spot on Paul good to see fresh money being pumped into the Club. Lessens the load on Joe and indeed SC. Does anyone know the anonymous sponsor of the main stand has renewed yet ?
Can we assume these new deals coming in are the results of the new International Manager that SC was advertising for a few months back? Anyone know who it is ?
Could the International Manager and Joe be one and the same? Surely there is a commercial opportunity here for our entrepreneurial club owner to launch a board game, loosely based upon Cluedo? Find the sponsor,, identify the investor etc etc??
Nocluedo?
We have an appropriate name for the game but how to solve the mystery?
Could the answer lie on that infamous table? If so, where is it hidden?
Behind you! 
Bit early for the pantomime season? But then again?!
