Over 100 years of history (aka Who'd be a football supporter?)
Official UniBond League Statement regarding Kings Lynn FC
UniBond League officials, who had hoped that Kings Lynn FC would be reprieved in the High Court on Wednesday, were bitterly disappointed when written confirmation was received from the Official Receiver’s offices in Norwich on Thursday morning, 10th December 2009 that the Liquidator appointed to wind up Kings Lynn FC had confirmed the club could not fulfil its fixtures. Accordingly under League Rule 13.9 Kings Lynn FC ceases to be a member of the Company.
The UniBond League is equally disappointed for the large body of supporters who followed a club with over a century of history behind them.
Kings Lynn were also removed by the Football Association from the FA Trophy and the scheduled tie on Saturday, 12th December against Vauxhall Motors awarded to the Conference North side.
A decision regarding the playing record of Kings Lynn will be announced by the League shortly and fixtures will be rescheduled.

Messieurs Scott, Krishna and Totori take note
"Players are conning each other, I'm glad I'm not playing anymore, especially in the Premiership. I can't get my head round a player who rolls around then gets up thirty seconds later. I'd be embarrassed. Lads I've played with go down like they've been shot and it drives me crazy." - Roy Keane
Arsenal
"Our gate income will probably be the highest in the world. We will have 60,000 fans and higher priced tickets - and more premium [corporate] tickets than any other club in the UK." - Keith Edelman, Managing Director of Arsenal, 2006.
Mot Den Moderne Fotballen
"In the Mexico 1986 World Cup, TV companies made teams play in Mexico City at midday and with an altitude of 2,500 metres and high levels of smog and humidity. It was inhuman. They sold a bad football product to the world. You have to care for the game and defend it from the outside aggression of commercialisation." - Jorge Valdano, 1986 Argentine World Cup winner.
Anti Moderne Voetball
"If tomorrow, business becomes more important than the game itself, then football will no longer exist." - Aime Jacquet, 1998 French World Cup winning manager.
