General Discussion / Re: Radcliffe at home
« on: January 30, 2025, 01:18:34 PM »
Another very winnable game coming up on Saturday.  We turned them over at their place earlier in the season.  They are visiting the Walks on the back of a 3-0 pasting at home to Chester. No excuses for this one.  3 points is a must.

Just looked at booking tickets in the stand online.  It seems half the rows in area ‘D’ are now not available.  3 rows at the back and 3 at the front.  Anyone know why?  Or has the rot set in even further ?

I think the rot set in metaphorically and literally some time ago. Health and Safety perhaps?

Not for the first time i question the value of full time at this level and the Club's attitude over recent times towards local players. Apparently Gash and Fryatt were magnificent at the heart of the PS defence. Gash would likely still be with us had we remained part time and Ryan Fryatt along with Joe Taylor and Fletcher Toll were not deemed to be 'good enough' ?!

Probably the fault of the officials?

Dilly was only seeing if anyone is operating such a thing as a raffle, or any other money-raising initiative.  It’s not a raffle that the question is about.  I’m “asking for a friend” who might have an interesting proposition, but he needs to know if there is anyone to contact….

Sorry, when you asked if anyone was organising raffles, I thought you meant "is anyone organising raffles"?

 :laughcry:

Who to contact?

All the people involved with running the club are named on the Clubs website.

With the exception of Joe and Bal ??

The game being off must hit the club very hard with the loss of the money.i hope the club has got it covered as not a lot coming in this month without todays game being off.On the good side it probably means one less lump in the mattress to worry about

Exactly the reason other revenue streams need to be in place, so as not to be so reliant on match day income.

It's not rocket science and should have been the first thing put in place, and not come as an after thought.

Afterthought seems to be the norm rather than the exception. Reactive rather than proactive?

All rumours.

If there were more transparency there wouldn't be so many rumours ?

KLTFC to a certain extent reflects the state of the country. Over my quite lengthy lifespan a quality that we once took for granted has disappeared almost to the point of extinction....'common sense'......Doing the logical, sensible and to paraphrase Basil Fawlty, the bleeding obvious.!

That's a very poor result.Scunthorpe haven't been that good at putting the ball in the net recently so to concede 3 against them in first half is very disappointing.Adam can't blame the supporters this week so it could be the turn of the pitch which looked more like Hunstanton beach

Well it surely can't be the fault of the players and manager?

This post is partly in response to AL questioning what the fans want. Well who knows whether AL, ever looks at this forum...we certainly know the media team do, so may.be things get passed down.......

 I suspect AL may have been informed that the club is a sleeping giant , when he took over. Possibly also, if you get success on the pitch, crowds will come..eg York, more than 4,000.

However, I believe there are some strong requirements attached for any of this to even be partly true. Obviously what follows is just my take on things:


Firstly apart from maybe the solid core of 700 or so, supporters or would be supporters want to know what they are actually supporting before they commit on a regular basis......what is the plan, what is the intention, will the club be solvent going forward, if it did get promoted, could it actually afford to go up and stay up. If none of this information is available, then what is there to buy into or support ?

Secondly, fans at Lynn are used, in recent times to the club being up there....2 years ago 2nd on 93 points, 2 previous years National League, previous year, won the NLN. To get the crowd building you need consistent home performances....entertaining attacking football and wins, coupled with some pricing offers. There have been a number of false starts this year....start of a decent run, so crowd turns up in decent numbers and then a really disappointing performance when they are there. Those extra few hundred that were there on Boxing Day were there for the experience and/or to give it a try again........they weren't excited by the performance and therefore weren't vocal and probably won't be there again until there has been another decent run......that's just the way it works.

If AL rather naively believed the club to be a 'sleeping giant' he obviously failed to undertake even rudimentary due diligence. Just a little research may well have called that belief into question? Perhaps though the remuneration and an opportunity to manage a full time team were the determining decision making motivators?

Indicative of a club that has no idea how to develop a rapport with its 'customers!'

Bal? Or is he the new investor - or both. Is Mr Cleeve still the sole owner and / or the primary decision maker. Who knows?? The smoke and mirrors become increasingly murky. Such a contrast with the playing side.

I feel that SC has done a great job since he has been here, even a miraculous job for a club which has never progressed as far as most of its opponents from the day the Main Stand was opened, to put a time relevance to my point.  I believe the lack of further ground development has caused disinterest in the club for locals and beyond, because we haven’t reached the level to attract them.  But SC has kept us in with a chance of progress, even now….

Fully agree with your comments regarding 'ground development ' but the club many years ago regularly competed at the highest level of non league and that with a part time team. Then though there was no autonomic right of promotion to what is now division two.
