King’s Lynn Town are based at The Walks and represent one of Norfolk’s main non-league football towns. The Linnets were reformed in 2010 and quickly climbed back up the pyramid, reaching National League level before returning to Step 2.

Away supporters, when segregation is in place, have often been allocated the Tennyson Road side and North Terrace areas, which gives the ground a clear home and away split for larger fixtures.
