A truly beautiful stadium, I’ve been there following Ipswich Wanderers as Lynn’s reserves played in the Ridgeons League.
Latest is King’s Lynn have been reformed as Lynn FC with a new backer, the same operator as King’s Lynn Speedway, and have applied to enter next season’s Ridgeon’s Premier League (Step 5) where the old reserve side was playing. Effectively Lynn FC would take their place, but this could be blocked by the other Ridgeon’s clubs (especially the sides top of Ridgeons Div.1 who would see the opportunity of a fourth promotion place if Lynn Reserves don’t uphold their 2009/2010 fixtures) meaning Lynn FC would start in Ridgeons Div. 1. That would take football in King’s Lynn from the edge of the Football League back to a regional league with average crowds of around the hundred mark, however I’m sure the Linnets as they’re known would be happier to have Ridgeon’s League football than no football at all.
Thanks very much for the update, Adrian. I’m really glad to hear they have reformed, and hope they do get back in at Step 5 — though as you say, any football would be something after that trauma.
