Linnets' Fans' Forum

  I just wondered whether supporters at bigger clubs ie MU Arsenal etc have supporters so disgruntled or feel that they are just customers!

   If as some want local footballers then the club will go backwards and attendances also as with Setchells time. SC's ambition is imho too high a peak to climb without higher attendances and more financial inputs.
I feel that with the correct model we could have a good team playing at this level when comparing our rivals attendance figures without putting the club in jeopardy financially.
Perhaps with the release of the football structure and management with implementation under the appointed commissioner changes will be enforced that may improve things.

Thought there was a decent crowd on Saturday more than the Kiddie game!

  l agree totally it's a right f*** up destined to smoulder more discontent

 
Apathy, there are too many other "attractions"
Too much football on television with a Saturday lunchtime game.
The " younger ones"  often have no appetite for physical sport preferring to tap their fingers at home. Look at the local football leagues and there are not anywhere near the same number of teams as there was in the 70's.
Where wives  and children used to come they don't because they or their spouses don't want them subjected to the abuse spouted by ill mannered supporters
As has been mentioned before there has been no ground improvements to attract more supporters.
Although it is not as expensive as going to a league game it's still expensive if you add other costs if coming in from outreaching towns and villages.
Then there is the attraction of Heacham, Downham, Swaffham and Fakenham  football to compete with.( I have no idea of the costs but it may be more convenient and offer a reasonable afternoon's entertainment
People are more home orientated.etc.etc

It's interesting reviewing the comments posted after SC's comments on Linked in.
The main item that concerns me is he has made no comment (as usual) and are we heading to a new crisis point or has Joe and he started a plan to move the club forward?

I did the maths when SC announced we were going full time  and reckoned we needed 2,300 through the turnstile. I think the FA cup game against Stevenage, Grimsby and Boston ? Maybe the only games that satisfied that criterion.

 
B & G that's the sensible approach but when people with lots of reddies come along they turn it upside down and fans expect more especially when the the new money promises or has a vision.
Logically with the current attendance Step4 is probably our level.

Perhaps the awaited Football Governance Bill has made SC think that the club needs to be managed differently. This will appease some supporters however there are some deluded ones who think that it can be run by a supporters trust without a large financial input.

It clearly states invites to input cash or take over and he still wants to be involved. Obviously he needs more backers but this is not a panic notice yet.

  At last Kitty has hit the nail on the head. We are swimming like goldfish in a bowl of sharks and ambition has overtaken reality. In all truths relegation may have been our saviour instead of becoming debt ridden and requiring bailing out by "Joe".
Supporter numbers are not good enough for this league to support the continued playing at this level. There are several other teams at this level who's support is on a par or worse than KL, how long can they continue?

Kings Lynn 3 Aldershot 1 when they were in the league, think it was in the late 50's. Made national paper headlines. Great atmosphere stood behind the goal Tennyson Ave end.

Sonny scored twice today in Blackpools 2-0 win in FA Cup

  Hopefully the ref will be better than Saturday they were a team of cling on's when we had the ball, 3 men to try and stop Gold, he must have changed his deodorant!

Great result for us hopefully the ball keeps rolling in our favour
