Lynn share the points.

One of the main concerns on recent performances must be attendance? Bad results and unattractive football show in the second lowest attendance of the season?

I don't think the boos on Saturday were necessarily aimed at the players but more towards the management. 2 points out of 9 against two teams in the relegation zone and another against an average mid table side in this league is simply not good enough and the way that AL sets us up to play is not a style of football that neither suits the players we've got nor will it see us even come close to winning the play-offs. AL is starting to make a number of comments about the supporters at the minute and about people supporting the club and I'm afraid this will only put more people off from coming. Further, I think supporters have a right to voice their grievances, especially since we're paying £19 or more to watch what we're being served up at the minute.

Having said all that, Saturday just felt really flat all around the ground which was reflected in the dismal crowd that turned up. And I don't think it's to do with the way we're playing. I, like many who support this club (or the ones I talk to anyway) feel so detached from the football club. The gap between supporters and the football club is probably the widest it has been. No one knows what direction the club is heading, no one knows what's going on with Joe from Singapore and what ultimately his and Bal's vision is for the club. The atmosphere around the ground before a match just feels like 800 odd people turning up out of habit as loyal paying customers to something they've been turning up and paying for for however long they've been doing it.

I don't want to make this into a long essay about the state of the club as many on here know what the problems are, but unless something fundamental changes soon (Cleeve handing the keys over to Joe, Bal or someone else would be my preferred option) then I really do fear for the future of this football club. I look at other clubs in our league, above and one below and sometimes I say to myself "I wish we could be like that", but I'm afraid it won't happen so long as Cleeve stays at this club.

Anyway, onto Curzon and safe trip for anyone else who is making the journey. Can't say I'm looking forward to it

Sums it up nicely.

Agree with everything in WW's post.  To be honest it felt 'flat' on Boxing Day which has been my only trip to the Walks this season and I can't say anything that day (other than missing the blokes I stood with) or since has made me regret ceasing to be a 'regular'

£8 for a portion of chips shows how out of touch they are with the supporters!Have we ever known Chips to be more expensive than the beer?

Kitty, first and foremost you are a customer, not a supporter.

Well things seem to be moving along, albeit still very slowly.

Bal has very recently updated his LinkedIn profile to reflect his new job - working for Turn Sports Investment (Joe's Company).

So, as yet it looks as if he's NOT specifically working for the Club (at the moment at least).

Maybe the updated LinkedIn profile means we are getting closer to "the announcement".

I have a question.  ( well quite a few actually).  The Sports England loan that the Club took on. Will this have to settled before any new owners take over or will the debt transfer to the new owners, Even if there is a change of name in terms of ownership ?

My understanding of it is that Sports England have a floating charge on ALL the assets of Lynn FC. Nothing can be disposed of unless they give consent (via The Program Manager). Therefore (I believe) they would have to give permission for the club to be sold (unless the loan was repaid). This would obviously mean that they would have to perform their due diligence on any prospective purchasers. If they weren't happy, they could block the deal (again unless the loan is repaid). I don't think Jo has any UK business interests so presumably they would have to consider due diligence checks from the far east. How keen they will be on that, I don't know.

I assume the FA will have to do their due diligence as well, but that's another matter.

I also can't see them removing the 1st charge on the loan and letting Jo sit in front of them with regards being a creditor, for when he starts putting serious money in. A second charge is an option but that's  very often seen as worthless when it comes to business. I think it's fair to say that most business people would not find this acceptable, but presumably it's something that is not of concern to Jo.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's discussions regarding the Sports England loan that's the reason the deal has not been finalised yet.

"My understanding of it is that Sports England have a floating charge on ALL the assets of Lynn FC."

B&G, when you say "all" the assets do you think that any players of value would be included ? (If there are any )😺

If that's the case, we can settle all our debts by getting rid of...Gold 😂😂😂😂

Sorry, I just couldn't help myself 😉

But my question about players and assets is genuine 🙂
