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.

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 always buy a season ticket it’s a bit cheaper that way,the cost of running a club like ours must be enormous with the likes of Electricity and other odds and sods taken into the equation.The chairman has poured thousands off his own money into running the club .i do appreciate the ticket is but what’s the alternative,

His Club, his choice.

And of course the Elephant in the room........what happens when he decides to stop pouring thousands of pounds of his own money into the Club? Who services the debt then?


Yep this is where it gets circular.....the only way to service it is for someone else with big money to take over and so it goes on........... unless of course it all starts again lower down the pyramid.

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.

Well it can’t be down to rent he pays.


Not great for paying fans, but I guess he might say:

Cost of a full time squad
Cost of training facilities at Ely.
Cost of best manager in league and his assistant including traveling down from Manchester regularly
Cost of being based in Norfolk in a Northern League with travel and overnight stay costs

Whether all the above costs are necessary, is I guess, a different argument

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

Full time and fit though.  :)







Not sure why the crowd was a surprise. A disappointment maybe........but Lynn fans always come out to watch a winning side...... previous two home league games were defeats....to Sports and Curzon

York is a lovely place......but still wouldn't want to travel there every other Saturday for a football fix.

It would be interesting to see where Lynn would be on the Turnstile League if it was done on Turnstile Income rather than attendance.

Yeah, but who wants to go to Barnet or York.......by the time you factor in the time and the petrol.... it's a no brainer....go to The Walks instead :laughcry: :laughcry: :laughcry:

With Margetts injured, Lynn seem to have gone back to just one forward in the starting eleven.
Hopefully Williams and Gold can develop a good on field relationship, so that at least when at home we can look to be more attacking.

Would be awful if Worksop and their fans were allowed to travel only to arrive and the game is called off at around 7pm…..

Wouldn't it just .........tho if there were a sudden downpour at 6.45pm on top of all the rain we have had, what could anyone do.... it's just Mother Nature and beyond anyone's control

With due respect to the teams involved this year's draws haven't been the most romantic or exciting, it has to be said. Still one game at a time.......a winnable game tomorrow.

Presumably there is video footage of what went on.
