He added: “I think the club might be using this to their benefit, as almost to say, whoever it is has leaked this (the CCTV image) to do us harm. So let’s stick together and come out the other side of this.”
The fixture against South Shields at Lynn’s stadium, The Walks, on 14 February was called off the day before because of the wet conditions, with the club announcing: “Due to a high amount of rainfall and insufficient drainage, our pitch has too much sitting water and has become waterlogged.”
Subsequently, an anonymous source released a CCTV image of a sprinkler in operation on the pitch on the morning of 13 February.
Long-term Lynn supporter Mark Hearle, who was the club’s press officer for more than 15 years, said the incident remained a mystery.
“It’s quirky in the wrong way for King’s Lynn Town. I just think for the club it’s a shambolic mess really, that’s my view on it,” he said.
“It doesn’t stand the club at all in a very good light.”
