Fair play to those that made the long trek to KL, very much doubt the club would survive on these fans alone. Expand Exactly.

You're assuming the only reason why some fans didn't make the Lynn trip is because they can't afford it. Do yourself a favour and drop the topic of conversation as it doesn't look good on you to be honest. Expand Never said that at all. I said that some couldn’t have made it due to work commitments.

ray c Posted October 30, 2018 Report Share Posted October 30, 2018 Still don't alter the fact that most clubs have a end of season bash whether a dinner dance or a social evening and as a club that won the top league in the UK we had nothing .
