Need to break the bank ( ;) )to get ex-Diamond Jon Stead in from Peterborough Northern Star, he bags for fun. A couple of familiar faces like Hopey, maybe Burge if it could be possible would be great too.
They say we've lost our money we're not famous anymore.....

I have wondered about Burge and whether he would look to sign on next year. I think he may try to at some point, but having found that Step 4 wasn't for him with Chester, would he be happy to drop lower just yet?

He's based in the Liverpool area isn't he? That may be a problem, but it's clear from some of his tweets lately that he still loves the club. He's also doing a bit of coaching at Corby and possibly still has a ladies team so it might not be in his best interests but we can all dream. ;)
Someone get in touch with Paul Hall on Twitter and get him to track down Onandi. :twisted:

Agreed.

Btw Onandi's got a son, who was apparently scoring quite a few goals in Jamaica.
Regarding budgeting and admissions, I've stumbled across a few interesting topics upon the Kings Lynn forums on that debate:

On a 700 attendance not everyone would be playing £7, children and concessions would be considerably less, and obviously I expect that we would be VAT registered next year, which we are not currently, therefore 20% would go at a stroke.
I would be surprised if average net gate receipts for league fixtures exceeded £2500 per week so sponsorship deals would largely dictate our playing budget for next season.
If the club needs someone to go over and scout him, I'm available, all expenses paid of course. I know don't thank me it's a tough job, but I'm willing to make that sacrifice ;)
