  in reality we need to win these home games, top teams win at home at a canter and pick up points on the road at regular intervals. We seem capable of picking up those points on our travels so far, the return for away games, I would say has been acceptable, even though we really have not faced up against any top teams except one possibly. If indeed we are serious about trying for promotion via play offs or indeed winning this league home wins are vital for more than one reason, obviously points needed top maintain a challenge, we all know Lynn fans are fickle and 11=1300 is a really good turnout for a home match, I know people will argue we can pull in more fans and yes we can occasionally but a genuine core is the stated figure in my opinion. We need this number week in week out and two home defeats and some fans will start looking at costs and value for money and start looking whether we can really get in to a promotion challenging position. AL has had good backing from the football club since he has been here and he now has HIS squad of players, not ones he inherited and we really need to be seeing home wins to keep the fickle fans entering through those turnstiles and two defeats on the trot at home does not help. Full time professional team, we need to address these concerns and start picking up those home wins as soon as possible. Early doors as yet I know but points on the board are always welcome.

 "We all know Lynn fans are fickle?" Really? Are we / they more fickle than the majority of football fans? If so why? Maybe the grossly inflated pay on the day admission price is a factor - particularly the concession price. If that is the case i am now one of the ' fickle', as i refuse to support this  vanity project that treats supporters (customers) as a necessary evil. More a case of can pay but won't pay!

I feel the Media are very much behind the increase in numbers for home games.  They have really put the Club on the front foot.   

Will be interesting to see the gate for this Saturday’s FA Cup tie.   Also AL saying he’s going with a full strength line up rather than get minutes into squad members.   So much for a punishing schedule.   The Manager can’t have it both ways.

Gold is just not good enough

Obviously entitled to your opinion as is everyone . I am interested to know what  you base your comments on , as a basis for a healthy good natured debate.

Gold seems to get a lot of knockers, but he scored 3 in the first few games and has been used very sparingly since. AL has admitted he is still learning how to get the best out of him and all the new players will be learning each others strengths and weaknesses. He scored over 20 in the last season he was at this level.If used in the right way and consistently he will be an asset I believe. It will be interesting to see how the team plays now if Margetts is out for a few weeks. It seems to me that there is currently an over reliance on Margetts to score.

[Blue_and_Gold]

What's the latest on Margetts injury?

Long term?

[Mallard]

We performed well enough at home to Warrington with Gold up top on his lonesome as Margetts was suspended.  Gold notched twice that day I seem to recall

From the EDP article:

"...............all this effort culminates in a 90-minute game................"

Exactly why Supporters should not be treated like customers! The precious 90 minutes, whereas its obviously the most important time of the week, is generally the only time the Club engages with the supporters.

Although the Media coverage is far better than it ever has been under the current regime, its only one small part of it. It can't just stop there.

Supporter involvement has been poor since Club was reformed. Even the previous Club, with all the errors they made, appear to have had more idea than the past and present Chairman on this matter.

The best its ever been was when there was a Management Committee for the supporters which was allowed to get involved with the Club. Totally independent officials and not have them appointed by the Club (or by other Officials that had been appointed by the Club). The work and effort that the likes of Chilly and all the others used to put in was incredible, and the Club benefited both financially and socially. The funds raised meant they were in a position to fully pay a players wages if they had wanted to (maybe more than one)!!! That's a lot of money and would be a great help to any Club! All this has now gone.....................why? An income stream lost and not replaced. I can't understand the logic in that one.

The important thing to remember is than the 90 minutes mentioned, is how the majority of supporters see the Club. Call them Fickle or 90 minutes Supporters or both. How a Club can move forward with this model, I don't really know. Surely its obvious that supporters need to be involved more than just 90 minutes a week? The lack of success of previous fund raising attempts surely must back this up?

As an example, People continually mention Darlington. Should we believe that all their supporters do, (apart from raising 100's of thousands of pounds) is watch 90 minutes of football each week?

I think not.
