Book review

Robert Ashcroft has produced a number of Unofficial Football Club Quiz Books.
Hopefully they are better researched than this offering, although judging by the star ratings given in some reviews, this is doubtful.
The book comprises of a potted history of the club followed by 160 questions that "will test your knowledge and perhaps teach you something new about King's Lynn Town".
Some questions are quite simple like "In which county is King's Lynn located?" others, rather like the TV quiz programme, are "Impossible".
"What was Ken Brown's background before managing King's Lynn" it asks having given, in answer to a previous question, that Ken Brown
was manager "during Lynn's most successful period in the late 1970s and early 1980s?"
But there is worse. "Which club defeated King's Lynn in the 1980-81 FA Cup Second Round" - answer "Peterborough United". In reality it was Stafford Rangers in the 4th qualifying.
Other things we are told is that on 8th December 1984 Lynn played Coventry City in the FA Cup at Highfield Road in front of 11,208 supporters, winning 2-1 with goals by Malcolm Pyke and Gary Hale
- in reality they were at home to Folkestone in the league that day.
Meanwhile, the name Ian Culverhouse appears as Ian Cullen!
Basically, the book reads like something created by Artificial Intelligence which Robert Ashcroft has assumed to be correct.
Perhaps the use of AI also explains the very creative cover to the book.
The football season might be over for Lynn but there still some interest for fans of the Linnets in the play-offs and potential opponents for next season.
Spalding United defeated Halesowen with a goal from Yusifu Ceesay.
The Tulps will now entertain the Pirates on Monday 4th May - when the clubs met in the league the Tulips got just the one point.
In the Southern League Premier South, a goal in the second half of extra time saw Gloucester City progress 3-2 against Poole Town.
Gloucester travel to Farnham in the final.
The Tigers, having been relegated from National League North at the end of 2023-24, could return but, if so, who will be moved south?
Some areas of football social media are speculating that Braintree, relegated from the National League, could
be moved North with Oxford City going in the opposite direction as the north-south border seems to moving further down the country.

AFC Telford United, Bedford Town, Brackley, Buxton,
