Apparently it's a bizarre decision  ???

But they've soon found a coach by the look of things!  ;D

Indeed how bizarre Unibond club asked to play fixture on a regular league day when everyone at SPS must have been aware of the situation at Kings Lynn. 

Who wants to bet a full strength first team arrive ,  seriously they must be kidding if they think we'll fall for that old  "all the buses are busy that day and can't be bothered to make money " chestnut ::) ;D

The club should offer all Kings Lynn season ticket holders free entry to the game ......  :)

I totally agree.
There is a fan base who have lost their club, certainly for the rest of this season some of whom might be happy to continue to follow us for the rest of this season, increasing our gates. The loss in revenue from those season ticket holder who might make the trip anyway will surely be minimal, and the upside "could"  be considerable.
I won't make the game due to being closer to the other Boston on boxing day but being a sports fan I think we are going to a basket ball game that day.

I agree too, think this is an excellent idea. the loss in revenue les refers to could be made up by the increase in takings at the social club / catering anyway..

I think there could be some possible confusion here.  Some posters on the KL forum are thinking the free offer is for the match against BPA tomorrow.

Thought I'd drag up this rather old thread and include a snippet from the Lincs Echo report....

"United keeper Tom Evans saved Ward's quickly-taken 25-yard free-kick, then Pearson hacked Jamie Vardy's effort off the line, while James Cullingworth did the same to deny Darren Thornton."

Wonder what happened to Darren Thornton?
