Most people have a hobby.
Mine used to be watching Lynn.

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?

Did Defty score over 20 goals in a season at step2 Rod ? I honestly can't remember.....more of a Ready, Coupe Trigger front line fan, myself.
Pink, i don't have the relevant stats but he certainly played at this level. Jack had a great all round game and almost certainly could have played at least a couple of levels higher had he not lacked pace. But as always it is about opinions!

Academies and “local lads” don’t work at this level because if they are good enough they will be picked off by bigger clubs, which most are, at the level we’re trying to achieve. That system would only work if the crowd are happy to simply be better than Wisbech!
Local lads can work at this level. Jack Defty in his prime could definitely have played regularly. For those of a certain vintage i ask the question: who would you rather have leading the attack, Gold or Big Jack?!

My first visit this season and my last. It was schoolboy football.Are they really full time and if they are what is the manager doing with them?
We have a great lump of a "centre forward" that is unable to get off the ground and gets pushed off the ball all the time, did we get him at a discount?.
This was rubbish, a relegation looking side.
I paid £19 for a seat it was not merchantable quality and I want my money back!!!
Peter join the 'club'. It seems that as a customer rather than a supporter you have experienced the standard match day experience.

It sounds like you think it's Waitrose prices with Aldi quality?
Harrods prices!
