I see on other social media platforms our ex owner is still an avid reader of this forum. He has posted the following ( Interesting that the Trusts website has chosen to review a small quiz book littered with    mistakes, no mention of mine. I wanted to say " surprising " but I dont think that it is. I thought they were going to engage more with fans when they came on board ?) So the Trust are now being criticized for not promoting a book it knew nothing about until last Friday and if it had it would have been engaging more with fans. The narcissism is beyond belief but not " surprising " how many fans forums were held over the last 8 years for you to engage with fans and listen to their concerns ?

The main aim of the review of the Quiz book (which was a five minute read) was to warn others of the contents, encouraging them not to waste their money
This wasn't a Trust decision, it was mine.
If someone wishes to provide a review of Stephen's book I'm happy to pubiish it on the website.
I might get around to reading/reviewing it myself, but not this week as I'm involved in a theatrical  production.
However, I feel better qualified reviewing a "book" on the history of KL(T)FC than one on how to run a football club.

I found it quite a decent insight into the inner workings of a Football Club ( amongst other activities).  SC seems to be fools busy.  Travelling everywhere trying to sell his product and/or looking for people to invest in the Football Club.  Lots of cake tomorrow with seemingly so much interest but nothing delivers.

Certainly Bal doesn't come out of it very well.  Portrayed as a very weak individual.

I do wonder how close Cleeve was to getting that TV deal ?

Anyone else read it ?
What if the Hokey Cokey really is what it's all about ?

Only 10% so far - side tracked into finding out about goal keeper Brian Arblaster, can't remember him playing for Lynn. Anyone suggest what years? He was with Boston United 1974-75 some I assume about then - my Derby years so perphaps I missed him.
