Kings Lynn FC Wound Up in the High Court: 130 Years of History will not end today
Like all supporters, the Blue and Gold Trust (Kings Lynn Supporters Trust) are devastated at the news that the King's Lynn Football Club have been wound up in the
High Court in London today.
We have worked hard on behalf of all fans to prevent this, and as late as Wednesday morning we were hopeful of finding a way
through the problems with the tax authorities and other parties.
If this decision is to be reversed, an appeal needs to be lodged within seven days by the
board of directors of the football club.
Because of these circumstances, it is clear that there are two choices for us all:
1. To try to save
the existing Club by taking it out of the hands of the existing directors, successfully appealing to the High Court to reverse the winding up order, paying off the debt
it owes, settling with other creditors, and continuing the season
2. To form a new Club as soon as possible, negotiate a new lease with the Council for The
Walks, and apply for a new league in May
We believe it’s critical that we don’t give up on the existing Club if it can still be saved; although the situation
appears hopeless at the moment, we also know that circumstances change very quickly. We will continue to actively seek ways to save the existing Club, and we appeal to
anyone in Kings Lynn to approach us if they think they can help us achieve this. Please email klfcsupporterstrust@gmail.com
if this applies to you.
But we would be equally foolish to ignore the need to make sure that if the worst does happen, and if any appeal is unsuccessful that
we have a Club to support, and so with our advisors Supporters Direct we are working on a Plan B to reform the Club.
Although this is the saddest of times for
all of us, it is also a time where we all need to be focused as supporters on the outcome. Whatever happens today, in the next seven days, or the next seven months, a
football club in Kings Lynn will live on, and we must all be focused on ensuring that outcome, proudly continuing the history of the last 130 years.
