They got David Newton we got Stephen Cleeve.
Agreed, but the difference is they inform their fans what is being planned and happening behind the scenes. The fans over there feel connected to the club.

A community club that truly values its SUPPORTERS.

The Boston chairman has also had his fair share of critics even up until the last few weeks on how the club is run including lack of communication and backing Culverhouse for too long when it clearly wasn't working.

Yes Newton was too loyal to Culverhouse. Is that a good trait for a Chairman to have?  Our Chairman did the same thing with Mark Hughes.  As for  Boston they have given themselves a massive chance of  survival with last night’s victory.

On your comment Paul of never going back and Culverhouse.  It didn’t do us any harm when he returned.  Back to back Promotions, with a part time local team. 
What if the Hokey Cokey really is what it’s all about ?

With David newton he has a track record of being a successful businessman and you can see and know what his business is and where his wealth comes from and what he's done over the years to get where he is now.He also took on a club that was on its knees after all the problems and fall out they had when Steve Evans was there.It must be nice to have a Chairman where you can actually see and check the facts
In a word, transparency?!

Perhaps a lunatic was simply a minority of one.

As I stated at the beginning of this thread I feel our playoff chances have passed IMHO, hoping I’m wrong but tomorrow is definitely a game we are capable of winning, if we are to drop more points I see no way back for this season.

I don’t see us getting back into a playoff place, let alone finishing in one. Really though, imagine if we did and somehow won promotion, we would then need a massive change of players to compete at National League.
Based on what I saw last Saturday, Buxton will have a comfortable afternoon tomorrow. AL has brought in a couple of decent midfielder’s recently, if he can do the same with a couple of forwards before next season then we may have a better chance.

As I said in the original post,I hope I’m proven wrong in my original opinion, and the team has proved this to be the case at the present time, but picking up home wins are even more important now, we really need to bag these  3 points at the walks, had we have done this throughout the season, we would have been in a far healthier position regarding the playoffs, than we are at present. Still hopeful we can put a mini run together and get a playoff spot and I amongst others will be well and truly proven wrong.

I have never read such doom and gloom in my life I believe some on here need to spit on their hands and get a fresh hold

Perhaps it all comes down to whether or not you believe 'the end justifies the means.' Some believe it does, some others do not?

On this particular thread, some are only saying similar to what you have said in the past.
A little knowledge may be dangerous, but knowing nothing while thinking you know it all is far worse.

Well said Malcolm!

Another good win on Saturday, and still in play offs. 5 big games to come.

Well said B&G, spot on 🫡

Mr/Mrs/Ms ? Hill can't have it both ways. If he/she/they complain it's legitimate, but if anyone else has similar opinions at another time, they come under fire ☹️ Double standards don't sit well with me 😾

Ok, so I was wrong about not getting back into the playoffs and I would love to see Lynn win promotion. I used to be an almost ever present at home games since the late 60’s. We got into the National League and even had the benefit of a season there with no threat of relegation, which was just as well. Second season, we corrected nothing and got relegated. Following season we finished 24 or so points above Kidderminster and get stuffed by them at home in the playoffs. Since then I’ve been just 3 times, Scarborough at home, 3-0 up at half time and lost 4-3. Warrington at home, we won and then Spennymoor a couple of weeks ago, which was quite honestly embarrassing.
We have difficulty in scoring, but we don’t bring in a forward. Imagine playing let’s say, Scunthorpe, Kidderminster, or maybe Chester away in the playoffs. Our ground is uninviting and has seen better days too. I think that SC has taken the club as far as he can and it’s time for a change.
I saw the goal against Leamington and the celebrations were great to see, but I would feel a bit more optometrist if we had a 9, or 10 who could score more than they do. Unfortunately, I’ve gotten out of the habit of watching Lynn, with their unattractive style of football.

We are all entitled to our opinions, mine is obviously along the same line as yours. I respect others opinions and they should respect ours.
