Well done to AL and the team for getting to the playoffs.
Listening to the post match interviews though , I am left a little bemused.
Two seasons ago:
Lynn's record at home ....won 17 drew 3 lost 3..........(in response to The Walks being not an easy place to play and where fans often don't get behind the team enough....appears much has changed in 2 years)
Gold scored over 20 goals (in response to neither Gold or Jonny being 20 goal a season players at this level...whereas other top teams have someone who gets 20 plus a season)
Chorley finished 12th and Lynn second on 93 points. (In response to Chorley are always in playoffs and Lynn need to get to that point)
Lynn's last few seasons....6th in NLN
Struggled in NLN
2nd in NLN
National League
National League
Won NLN
Would have thought that compares favourably with the likes of Chorley.

Too attack minded
I think it's 47 league goals scored by the team so far this season. I believe it was 54 in total last season. Hopefully by Saturday at 5pm the difference will be significantly less.

Positive at least that communication lines are open and thanks for putting it on here in true Trust/transparency values.
Sounds like with any significant transaction, full details, careful consideration and dare I use an overused term by football managers....due diligence will be required in this vital matter.

Good time to score I guess...goals are certainly in short supply and being shared around the whole squad when they do come.

Hopefully people can see the suggestion of people coming together with ideas of what they want from the club in order to continue attending matches (and potentially discussing them with the owner ) as a positive not a subversive idea.
People seem to be slowly drifting away in significant numbers for various reasons and the owner doesn't seem to understand why

Just read your most recent, kind and illuminating post Tony....many thanks for that.
It just feels like there needs to be a seismic shift for the club to get to where many would like it to be.

Yes ok B& G and Tony probably fair enough looking at the posts.....apologies probably due....the frustration of the whole situation obviously is getting to me......the suggestion/gist behind the posts was meant to be
Don't moan as individuals and expect things to change, if you feel that strongly then consider.acting as a community rather than individuals, come up with some requirements necessary for you as a community to continue to support the club, put them to the owner and if they are not met then don't attend.
I had hoped that that had come over in the posts

You both seem to denounce the idea of group action..but isn't that what a Community run club is all about.
The action doesn't need to be an immediate boycott of games, but perhaps a statement with signatures requesting information/meeting in return for continued support. I wouldn't have thought that unreasonable. Surely supporters have the right to know what it is they are actually supporting
Pink, I think we probably have a different understanding of community run club (which as B&G has said isn't applicable to KLTFC at present anyway). To me, a community run club would engage with it's fanbase, sharing what information it could at an appropriate level and on a regular basis allowing for the fact that some information wouldn't be appropriate to share either due to it's commercially sensitive nature or for confidentially reasons for example. If a community run club was receiving petitions of the manner you are suggesting then I would say it has got a long way off course or needed to work much harder to explain to it's remit to stakeholders.
Tony, I think you have missed my point completely. The club isn't community based at the moment...we all know that......I don't need you and B&G to tell me that.......but in order to change things for the better, I was just suggesting that some group activity with people coming together might be a positive way of the town coming together to give some idea of how they might like the club run, instead of individuals just bemoaning the fact that they are treated like customers and not fans. If the club was community based this issue or situation would hopefully never arise. I think our idea of Community based is the same.......maybe you just hope that it will happen sometime in the future, somehow.......with that stance I personally doubt it ever will

Well it all seems a bit circular to me.
I mentioned Community because I thought that's what many were working towards or hoping for, but if that's lost on you B & G then.............
Leave be then...I guess that's the Lynn way....some will still be moaning they are customers not supporters this time next year......it was only a suggestion to perhaps be a bit more group organised and communicative with the owner, but hey ho, I sense the appetite may not be there...and I have practically given up on the club at this stage...things have felt stale for way too long for me.

Thanks for your valued replies Tony and B&G.
Both of you know a little bit more about the current internal machinations of the club than I.
You seem to be suggesting that SC may have soften his stance towards " Community " aspects and maybe The Trust. If that is the case I am very pleasantly surprised. If it is not the case, then to my mind your suggestions amount to laissez faire and little will change till next season and possibly beyond. Playing a waiting game for the owner to run out of options or find someone else to run things with a similar modus operandi could be a long game...indeed it already is.

When the Clubs gets the begging bowl out we are fans. With regard to anything to do with the internal workings of the Club we are customers. 
This line keeps getting repeated over and over. I wonder will Lynn fans ever do something progressive about the situation........or will they just sit there, in the dark,having their noses rubbed in it and just moan every so often. Surely if you want to know what's going on inside your club, get together, issue a statement and refuse to attend matches until you get some answers......it is your club after all.

Well my post has certainly provoked a reaction........and a very positive one at that.
I am very pleased that those that posted in reply, felt it was such a good, entertaining watch.
I could only go by the highlights and the respective manager's comments.....one of which I seem to recall suggested Lynn didn't really have a shot on target to trouble their keeper in the second half.
Just for the record, The Walks is a 3.5 hour round trip for me now. I have decided that I will consider making the trip only when the Club connects more fully with its fan base and spells out a clear vision to me of what its intentions and aims are.
Possibly one of the reasons the attendance was as it was, is because some others feel the same way.

Not a great result that. Having watched the "highlights", it looks like it must have been a pretty drab affair.
Here's hoping for better on Saturday, both in terms of points and entertainment value for those that attend.

Realistically I would say play off chances are hanging by a thread after the poor run they have had and given how tough the run in looks. When games in hand are taken into account Lynn are something like 4 points off the 7th place. They will probably need to win 6/7 of the remaining 10 to do it. They will certainly need to be positive, both in selection and on the pitch.
