The chairman of King’s Lynn Town has been left angry after some of their adult supporters have been buying children’s tickets for games.
He threatened to name and shame them during claims in tweets that the chairman, Stephen Cleeve, said on Twitter this week.

He wrote: “We have completed our research into ‘fans’ that have bought Under 16 and kids tickets (and) it turns out that many of them are well over 18 and in some cases have been using Carer passes when going in alone.
“We have a list and those who are guilty have one chance now to DM me (and) agree to pay off what they should have paid (we may agree a payment plan) and promise never to do it again.
“If you don’t we will name and shame those fans in the York programme and you will be denied entry to that game and future games. It is not fair on loyal fans who pay.
“The list is around “20 fans” many of them well known to some of you anyway we won’t miss the revenue”
The high-flying Linnets are due to play York City in a crunch table-topping match at The Walks on Saturday, January 18.
An under-16 ticket to a match is just £2 compared to the standard £15 entrance price. A student ticket for 16 and 17 year olds is £9.

Fair play Stephen.
Fans pay the ticket price to support the club.
We need to money as a club if we want to be ambitious in the future.Keep up the good work!

This blackmail threat is as unsavoury as their act, if indeed every one is a purposeful deception.

I think 65 is ok and fair – unlike politicians we try not to move the goalposts!

Why would anyone who supports a club do that?
