Linnets’ Lotto Monthly Draw
Saturday 21st January


As a result of the number of entrants into the monthly Linnets Lotto draw having decreased over time, a few who have sadly passed away and others withdrawing due to cost of living concerns, the Directors have taken the decision to reduce the prize money accordingly.
As from the February 2023 draw, the prizes will be as follows:- 1st prize £80, 2nd prize £40 and 3rd prize £20.
The directors would wish to thank all who continue to participate in the draw as well as those who have supported the draw in the past.

Ground Development Fund (GDF)- update
Monday 12th April 2021


The Blue and Gold Supporters' Trust was pleased to present the football club with a cheque for £3,635.08 last week to support The Linnets in the work they have undertaken in recent months to improve facilities inside the ground in accordance with ground grading requirements.
The monies were made available to the football club from donations made through the Trust's Ground Development Fund (GDF). This is the second occasion that the Trust have been able to assist the club via the GDF scheme following the donation of £4,200 which helped the football club with the purchase of new turnstiles following its promotion to the National League North from the Southern League Central Division nearly two years ago.
The latest monies donated have assisted the football club with the purchase of a First Aid Unit, which has been installed at the Seven Sisters/Hospital End of the stadium, close to the entrance to the club room.
The Blue and Gold Supporters\' Trust wishes to thank all those who donated towards the Ground Development Fund initiative.
Trust Donation to Queen Elizabeth Hospital


We would like to thank Laurence Morlaas, the Fundraising Executive at the QEH, King's Lynn for her and her hospital colleagues' participation in the 2020 Blue & Gold Trust Christmas Draw.
As a result, the Trust has made a donation of £75 to the Maternity Bereavement Suite Appeal.
We wish the Appeal every success in the New Year.
This amount has been increased to £100, thanks to a donation from Evergreen Equity Release Solutions.

Ten Years of Trust

Sunday the 25th of August 2019 marked the 10th anniversary of the formation of The Blue & Gold Supporters’ Association (AKA The Trust).  The Trust was formed to provide a vehicle for giving the supporters of King’s Lynn Football Club (now King’s Lynn Town Football Club) a formal involvement in the running of their club.  Sadly, it was very shortly after this date that saw the demise of KLFC as a High Court winding-up order was issued due to an unpaid tax bill of £77,000. 
KLTFC is currently riding the crest of a wave and producing some fantastic and entertaining football, and long may it continue.  Whilst The Trust has its own clear objectives, we have recently raised funds in excess of £4,000 towards the cost of ground grading requirements necessary to compete at step 2 football. In agreement with Stephen Cleeve, these monies have been forwarded to the manufacturer of the new turnstile units. However, the current ownership model still does not allow for “formal” supporter involvement in what happens at the Club.  Notwithstanding, The Trust will continue in its quest to meet its aims which are clearly detailed on this website.
The Directors of The Trust would like to take this opportunity to thanks all who have supported the Trust over the past 10 years.  The membership, those who have sponsored the website and various fundraising activities.  Thanks to those businesses who have advertised on the website and to those who have provided prizes for raffles etc. Thanks to those who have supported the monthly Linnets Lotto. Whilst membership numbers have remained steady, it is pleasing to note that very recently we have gained a number of new members.  To you all, your support has been gratefully received.
For anyone interested, details of membership and the Linnets Lotto can be found on this website.

Website sponsorship and GDF Update
Thursday 22nd August

Website Sponsorship
The Blue & Gold Supporters’ Trust would like to express their grateful thanks to the Blackfriars Barbershop for agreeing to sponsor this website for the next 12 months.
We wish their business well and sincerely hope that they see benefit from advertising on this website.

Ground Development Fund (GF) – Update
The Trust has received communication from Stephen Cleeve expressing his appreciation for our fundraising efforts towards the GDF. He further informed us that he has ordered the additional turnstiles required to meet the new ground grading standards.
He also attached an invoice for the required deposit.
You will be aware that it was agreed that any funds raised in the GDF (£4,052 at the time of writing) would be used towards the purchase of these turnstiles.
To that end, The Trust has forwarded a cheque for £4,052 to Stadium Solutions who will manufacture the turnstile units.
This sum covers the required deposit less the VAT.

Quiz Night at The Walks

The Quiz night organised by the Blue & Gold Trust on Friday the 28th of June at the Football Stadium was a great success.
A big thankyou to the 47 people who participated in the quiz and to those who supported the raffle and who made donations to the Ground Development Fund (GDF) on the night. The event raised a total of £431:50 for the GDF.
A special thanks to Barrett Batchelor Mortgage Services and ARC Fabrications (King's Lynn) for sponsoring the event.
Thanks also to Richard Simper for preparing the tables etc, and to Zoe for serving behind the bar.
Thanks also to those who donated raffle prizes.
Anyone wishing to donate to the GDF can do so via PAYPAL by clicking on the thermometer on the home page and pressing the donate button.
