Linnets' Fans' Forum

Such a shame that neither Roger Taylor (Queen) or George Russell (F1) appear to be interested in football?!

'Would you want him back?'.....Did he ever in reality go away?

Does anyone really know what's happening? A grain of comfort though in the fact that we are a 'community club' that treats all sections of its supporter (customer) base equally?!

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?

Quote from: dillydilly on October 27, 2025, 10:16:53 AMWhy do clubs think ex-pro players will make good managers? They usually don't.  Gerrard, Rooney, Neville, and countless others prove otherwise.  Screaming from the touchline, pointing in all directions, and swigging water every ten minutes have no effect on team performance!  Culverhouse hasn't been successful anywhere else.  A man, or woman, with a good contact list with money available is who we have to find.

I agree re ex top level players. You can add Shearer to your list but there are exceptions....Lampard to name but one.

I think the antics of coaches gesticulating and shouting from their technical areas, very much reflects the modern world where often style is put ahead of substance and particularly at the top level with crowd noise, there is little or no chance of their players hearing them?

Purely posing for the cameras.

Quote from: Linnet465 on October 25, 2025, 12:23:10 PMIf a big club like SW can fold what chance for the minnows?

But they had an unreliable,duplicitous owner?!

Phew Rod, how lucky were we. Dodged a bullet there then. 

We also had that infamous table which promised so much but delivered bugger all!

Quote from: Mallard on October 19, 2025, 04:47:24 PMIf Cleeve is still actively involved, as you suggest Upstone then where does that leave the Trust ?  Think they have said on numerous occasions that they won't be involved at the Club while SC is still there. 

Is someone trying to bang both ends against the middle ?

From what I understand, he has absolutely nothing to do with any of the club's functions ⛔

Just this crazy idea for a TV show about the club, that he's had some discussions with a company about 😯

But with the Eastbourne series about to start, I think it's highly likely that the market will soon become saturated 🙁

And of course these shows all have someone "famous" involved, not someone like Cleeve whose fame exists only in his own head.

It's just another desperate attempt to stay relevant...
 

Perhaps there's an opportunity for someone infamous?

What exactly is 'the project?'

Toll played c60 minutes on Saturday. His first game back since being injured at the start of the season.

He ran his contract down. Charlton did not pay a fee.

Definitely not a  performance tonight. Fast and furious football very enjoyable and good support although there were some Posh supporters mixed in to boost the numbers. Hopefully with selling more season tickets the abstainers and more fickle supporters will return to the Walks this season.

I can probably be classed as a fickle supporter (?) in that purchasing a season ticket is not a sensible option for me but as previously mentioned, if such as a flexible ten ticket bundle were on offer at a reasonable price i would most certainly purchase one but the current cost of buying a ticket a day or two before a game is too rich for me. More a case of principle than affordability.

My season ticket cost £249, that works out at just £10.82 for each league game. Everything is looking so much better than last year with a much more appealing style of football. Looking forward to the start of the season.

And some fell on stony ground.

An ideal time for a fans forum?!

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.
