I heard an option being talked about that if the current season is scrapped then next season teams will start with a handicap - along the lines of KL & York starting on plus 10 points - working backwards to BPA starting on zero.

King's Lynn Town Football Club has this afternoon appealed for fans to help them cover club costs as the Coronavirus outbreak shuts down normal life in Britain.

The Linnets say they are facing a shortfall of around £100,000 in income as a result of the suspension of the National League season.

Lynn currently has four games left to play but with current Government advice discouraging large gatherings of people there is no indication of when, or even if, the fixtures will be completed.

A statement on the club's website said: "As you will be aware the National League suspended it's three leagues until at least April 3 due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus.

"With four home league games remaining to be played, and with no guarantee that these will be completed in the near future, the club is facing a lack of income.
 
"This comes from gate money, matchday hospitality and catering programme and merchandise sales along with numerous events in the Blue and Gold Clubroom which are being cancelled in wake of the latest advice from the government.

"With all of this combined we estimate a total shortfall of around £100,000 which is required to pay wages and various other bills associated with running a business.

"Club chairman Stephen Cleeve has agreed to cover some of the shortfall himself but cannot commit to being able to cover the rest at this time.

"It is with this is mind that we are asking that if people who have purchased tickets for the Brackley game, or coach travel to Kettering, are able to give this money to the club as a donation we would be most appreciative.

"Refunds are available by contacting Zoe Sandle via email (zoe.sandle@kltown.co.uk) by Friday, March 20, at 3pm.

"The club are also selling off the Southport match programmes for £3, including postage and packing.

A link will shortly be live on the website (follow the match ticket lin ) to purchase and you will need to send a Stamp addressed envelope to: Mark Hearle, King's Lynn Town FC, The Walks Stadium, Tennyson Road, King's Lynn, Norfolk, PE30 5PB.

Will I get a refund on my season ticket for this season if the fixture list is not fulfilled?

Didn't go today but interesting to note the comments again around getting a goal scorer. I don't think it's quite as clear cut as that. I think we do have some capable goal scorers it's just that we don't always play to their strengths. For example too many long, high balls. It's not like they're missing lots of chances. I think we either need a target man to compliment this style of playing (like King's Lynn have Gash) or look for a different option - dare I say a Reece Thompson type that can create chances individually - and out of nothing.

If we had the final piece of the jigsaw puzzle we'd be top of the league. We've had a great cup run and third place in the league is in our hands as we enter the second week of March. I'd have taken that in July. Who wouldn't?

Things must be ok, the players and staff are all heading up to Gateshead tonight, in preparation for the game tomorrow. Overnight stops in this league are a nice luxury to be able to afford.

I think if the ball is placed in the centre circle and blows away then it's too windy.

We did hoof a lot last night. Never really agree with playing players out of position so let's get Rollins further up the pitch and lad who's on loan from Salford in at right back.

I think Craig has utilised the wing backs formation one game too many.

If anyone has any knowledge of the state of the pitch it would be appreciated. No rain forecast today and a good drying day with a mild temperature. My forecast shows only a couple of hours of light rain potentially in the morning. Don't fancy another wasted trip from Norfolk.
