A hat trick today in a 7-0 win. Fletcher has 13 league goals, five ahead of the league's second highest scorer.

Mr Cleeve owns a football club in England not Germany.....
I agree with Hoeness ...it is different in Germany and it's not England
If the FA took the same stance as Hoeness then we might see a different price structure throughout the English game.
With the appointment of Thomas Tuchel perhaps the FA are sympathetic to and will try to further the cause of the 'German model'?!

Former Bayern President Uli Hoeneß:
"We could charge more than €120 per season ticket. If we charge €350 per season ticket we would get €2m extra, but what does that mean for us?
The difference for a fan between €120 and €350 is enormous and we do not believe that fans are like cows, which are milked.
Football has to be for everyone. That is the biggest difference between us and England."
Spot on!
How refreshing but i doubt Mr Cleeve would agree?

Take out the away fans and it’s a home gate of circa 700 Pink. I thought those days were behind us with crowds to date averaging 4 figures. That’s a huge drop. Hence why I used the word ‘surprise, cos you know what ? It did surprise me 😂
It is a huge drop Mall, but nothing is really being done to up the core support in terms of fans feeling really connected.....and I believe the core support that would go on a cold wet day if Lynn were mid table and out of the Cups is....and has been for a good few years around 700......... probably actually 699 now that Rod has given up his hobby due to the pricing
I've been there in the past on many a cold and wet Saturday and Tuesday winter nights when gates were sometimes between 400 and 600.

It’s the chairman’s choice on what MO he runs his club on. Seems though he expects the fans and now Joe to continue to fund his hobby.
On a Personal level we had decided to go to every home game we could. We have since had a re-think and will at most now do every other home game.
Yes I can well understand that Mall. The M O at the moment seems to be if you have a successful team then that gets a reasonable crowd paying high admission fees. However, this only works if the club continues to be evermore successful IMO......if it doesn't achieve that then another and another investor are required to prop it up.
The alternative is something that is priced in a way that builds the crowd base and is not totally dependent on on field performance , so that for example it encourages families including grandchildren to come every week.
If the club are serious about "building" they surely need to find a middle ground.
A community club?

Have to say the attendance of 870 was a big surprise when you factor in Darlo must have brought 159/200.
Awful crowd considering we've been getting 1,000+ most weeks. I can't help but feel that there'll be some who have been put off with the £19 (slightly more for sitting) admission prices, considering our brand of football isn't exactly easy on the eye at the minute
I'm within the category that has stopped paying the inflated concessionary admission price and i do believe there are more than a few long term supporters of a similar age who have either ceased attending games or who are now very selective in their choice of games they attend. Mr Cleeve does not appear to be concerned at this loss, who by definition are unlikely to be around in the medium / long term. His focus seems very much on attracting customers who will pay regardless and buy into his opaque business model, with the end justifying the means. His club (unfortunately) so his prerogative.

I mentioned a while ago on a different thread that the lure of fulltime football was the main attraction for Gold after failing with Fylde and Kidderminster and I don't blame him whatsoever.

Our concession match day seated price of £19 is higher than Barnet and York: currently the top two in the National League. Stephen Cleeve: a modern day Dick Turpin !

Really? It was £9 for a concession at Worksop Would be nice B&G
Why should it be any difference? Same teams, same competition, same round of the competition, same costs involved for each team, same distance for supporters to travel. 
Why should it be any different? Stephen Cleeve!!

Never a dull moment at Kings Lynn FC....Lakeland mentioning some off field issues that they have had to get their heads around.......
.
Seems strange to bring it to supporters attention, but then appears unwilling to share with them what was tough about his week.
Intriguing? I wonder, could it be a Joe issue? Perhaps at long last he will put his head above the parapet?
