I originally posted that I thought the club could help them out financially and that £100K wouldn't kill us but could save them. Thats all. Just a good deed towards our County neighbours 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canary73 147 Posted February 18, 2021 I think Kings Lynn are may well be safe this season given the breaking news that the National Leagues North & South have been declared null & void: https://www.thenationalleague.org.uk/national-league-statement-outcome-of-written-resol-65151 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michael Starr 515 Posted February 18, 2021 Going back to the Kings Lynn loan affiliation thing. I think it's clear that we are now only acquiring players of a certain standard maybe slightly above Kings Lynn, and that each loan out is carefully considered player by player based on what they need... ie... technical advancement they go to the Dutch leagues. If they need to toughen up then it's the lower English leagues. It's no good sending all our kids to Kings Lynn. It's way more advanced than that these days. Every player has a development profile which is very very unique. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,655 Posted February 19, 2021 ...so are Kings Lynn safe from relegation? Presumably if nobody can get promoted into their league, nobody can get relegated from it?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Simon Power went there, and then on to a level higher after gaining experience. Archie Mair is there at the moment, it wouldn't surprise me if Daniel Barden is sent there next season for a full season of grown ups footy? Can't see the problem in us exploring ways we could help them out of a hole at the moment if it can bring something mutually beneficial. They've got a nice little pitch, perhaps they could host some U23 games so we can keep Carrow Road fresh? And not fond of Ian Culverhouse at all? A member of the famous team of 92-93, and architect of our double promotion seasons (definitely the master tactician behind that). Edited February 19, 2021 by TeemuVanBasten 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,655 Posted February 19, 2021 I'd say King Lynn is a useful affiliate club to senf players out on loan to whilst they are at the level theyre currently at. I dont see much merit inbsending players to them if they were a level lower i.e National North. As Kings Lynn have found this season , the difference in standard between national league and north/south is a significant one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FenwayFrank 2,423 Posted February 19, 2021 Currently on £875. The chairman recently said that one away game was costing them £5k so I’m sure they would appreciate any help they can get. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIL 1010 4,656 Posted February 20, 2021 Only a fiver short of a grand this morning. I note that a Grimsby and a Pompey fan have donated so would be good to see a few more Norwich fans add to the pot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
