New owner 'chased King's Lynn Town FC for three years'
Rob Butler
BBC Radio Norfolk sport
New King's Lynn Town FC owner Stephen Cleeve has admitted he's been trying to buy the club for three years.
He said he'd been "hassling" former boss Keith Chapman most weeks in that time.
"There hasn't been one week where he (Chapman) hasn't had a text, email or something from me," said Cleeve.
"Finally he relented, which is great."
Devolution: Three counties will need to negotiate certain issues
Andrew Sinclair
BBC Look East political correspondent
To satisfy the government, Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire will have to agree to work together on certain issues and I understand that there is still a lot of disagreement about what those areas should be.

There is also a feeling that the government needs to put more money towards the devolution project and a few people still have reservations about directly-elected mayors.
The deadline of this Friday for a deal to be agreed is expected to slip by as much as a fortnight.
Meanwhile, a report from the House of Lords today raises concerns about the lack of public engagement and transparency in the whole devolution process. It also questions "if the people of Cambridgeshire, Peterborough, Norfolk and Suffolk will feel that the proposed East Anglia Combined Authority reflects their local identities".
Signs that devolution is close, but will probably be delayed

BBC Look East political correspondent
The man leading negotiations for East Anglian devolution is expected to meet Local Government Secretary Greg Clark tomorrow amid signs that a deal involving Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire could be close, although there still appear to be major hurdles to overcome.
I understand that Suffolk businessman Andy Wood will ask for more money towards transport projects to help seal the deal.

Council leaders from the three counties met today, and I understand that most of the discussion revolved around the so-called "brother and sister deal" which would see two new authorities and two elected mayors created: one for Norfolk and Suffolk and the other for Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.

A "baby bank" opens in Norfolk today, set up by Vicky Huckle from Wymondham who struggled to give away her own children's things.

The bank gives donated secondhand toys and clothes to those who need them in the Norwich and south Norfolk area.
Ms Huckle said: "From what we're told there's families out there that can't afford the essentials; those probably similar to those using the food bank.
"We are mostly providing the essentials, so it is clothing, basic toys packaged, sterilisers and bottles."
He said he "never had any doubt that Alex is a winner" after the constant discussions the pair had in the fortnight leading up to the win over Watford.
Mr Balls said: "He is going to come back and do for us this summer and next year what he came in and did for us in January last year - which is to take a great squad back up to the Premier League."
Crop-spraying: 'Lack of evidence over link between pesticides and human health'

An online petition started by a Norfolk woman over the health dangers of crop-spraying has been signed by more than 35,000 people in a week.

Lisa Over, from Foulsham, near Dereham, believes her physical and mental problems have been caused by pesticide spraying where she lives.
But Tom Bradshaw from the National Farmers Union says there is no evidence to back this up.
He said: "If we genuinely felt there were any concerns, then we would be the first people to be asking questions. I think that there is a real lack of evidence that there is any link between the pesticides we're using and human health."

Norwich City chairman Ed Balls said "outside expertise" has been brought in to support the Canaries' interim chief executive and manager over the summer.
He said Steve Stone and Alex Neil have got "extra highly-experienced football support, so we can make sure we make the best fist of this summer".
The dispute with the ambulance trust is over rest breaks and enforced overtime. The trust is under pressure to meet targets for response times and admits it does not have the resources to meet demands.
