Bains rallies Linnets supporters

King's Lynn defender Rikki Bains wants the club's fans to turn out in force at Gloucester City on Saturday.

The Linnets will win the Southern League with a victory, if Team Bath fail to win at Bromsgrove Rovers.

Bains said: "If we get half the away support that we do at home it would be a huge help, it gives you that edge.

"If we were at home, the support would be great, if we go away and the fans still come and get behind us, we can do the job just as we would at The Walks."

If we can keep clean sheets it takes the pressure off the other end

Bains has also praised his centre-half partner Greg Crane, as the pair's performances have helped the Linnets concede just one goal in the last five games.

"Craney's a great player and I'm enjoying playing with him, we've got a great understanding and if we can keep clean sheets it takes the pressure off the other end.

"We put in five against Bashley [in Saturday's 5-0 win], but the lads know if we're keeping solid at the back they might only need one or two."
