It is a much bigger catchment area, as with all the teams compared to King’s Lynn. You only have to look at the populations of the town/cities of the current Premiership teams and see that realistically Lynn should be the least supported (which naturally should equate to less financial strength and less success on track)

King’s Lynn - 43,000

Ipswich - 140,000

Oxford - 162,000

Leicester - 368,000

Sheffield - 556,000

Manchester - 568,000

Birmingham - 1,100,000

Not sure what you are eluding to there?, we travelled to Peterborough which was over a 100 mile round journey so if fans like the club, facilities etc they will travel from anywhere, so numbers in that particular town or city makes no odds.

My point is that you would expect Peterborough to be better supported than King’s Lynn and that was the case.

Obviously, there’s some cynics out there who expected Buster to take the money made of Peterborough and invest it in his baby King’s Lynn, but that wasn’t what happened. Peterborough had a much stronger team than Lynn at the start of the season (with Nicki P in the 1-7) and at the end of the season (with Laguta and Tarasenko in the 1-7).

I'm sure it was always said that the two tracks were run completely independently with their own budgets based on crowd levels.
