King's Lynn Running At A Loss


Promotion contenders King's Lynn are running at a loss admits chairman Stephen Cleeve.

Recently he had to put £15,000 'to assist with some large bills and other outgoings.'

When Hereford visited several weeks ago Cleeve raised the price of tickets. This didn't go down well with either set of supporters.

However Lynn will charge the higher prices for the visit of Kettering on Easter Monday.

"I have been slightly disappointed with some of the home attendances this season for a team that has, for the most part, been top of the table and playing some very attractive football," said Cleeve as reported by the Eastern Daily Press.

"I am hoping for an increase in the gate revenue over the coming weeks as to help as it were, share some of the burden of running the football club.

"Despite lots of new ventures in our clubroom, increased revenue from new advertisers and a general increase in gates, the club has been running at a loss. Only a few weeks back I put another £15,000 into the club to assist with some large bills and other outgoings.

"Whilst I appreciate that by being the club owner I am responsible for meeting the payment of this costing, some further people through the gate over the next few weeks would be of a great help to the club."
