The Walks stadium underwent renovation work last year

King's Lynn Town chairman Keith Chapman says he hopes to be involved in the club for many years to come.

The Linnets are expecting their biggest crowd since they were re-formed last year when they face St Neots in the fifth round of the FA Vase on Saturday.

"The investment in the stadium and in the club has been well worth it, we're thoroughly enjoying it," Chapman told BBC Radio Norfolk.

"Hopefully there'll be many more years to come."

He added: "We haven't just done it for the one game, we've done it for the whole of the time we're going to be here."

Over 1,000 people are expected to attend the fifth round tie but Chapman admitted he was wary of their opponents.

He added: "They are a very good side. They'll come to us all fired up, and they'll want to win as much as we do so it's going to be a very even match.

"We're taking extra precautions with more stewarding and putting a few more cameras in, we're a family club and we want to keep it that way. We don't want anything to go wrong where we haven't paid attention."

The third-placed Linnets won 4-2 at leaders St Neots in the United Counties League last weekend.
