Nutty, sorry mate, you are so easy to wind up! I apologise and wholeheartedly agree with you! I have met some great people from this very messageboard, some are my dearest friends! (That includes you by the way - yuk!). Good grief my ex was even there on Thursday night and we managed to be civil to each other.... As for Shaun (Bigfeller) we talked for over 3 hours on relegation day! He has an amazing memory and obvious love for NCFC. It''s amazing that despite the turmoil our club is in, we can gather strength from meeting up and doing things other than sitting behind our keyboards. Bet Delaney''s wish NCISA had meetings every night. lol

If it were Gorgeous George Mello, you would not have escaped intact on Thursday night!!

Yankee, the committee met briefly last night to formulate a further press statement which will be released Monday I believe. A further meeting is scheduled in the next few weeks to put together an action plan to press for change/go forward from Thursday night. In addition we are compiling a report on what was said on Thursday night which will be sent to club officials. We have someone on the committee who is qualified in accounting practices who can certainly decipher what''s been happening at the club. If you want to provide any input, and that would be most welcome, please could you email one of us, details on the NCISA website.

Indeed, you could say that. IF only you knew.

They don''t play football too well either Yankee.

I don''t know if you were Nutty, but hey, you and old Mr Waxing Crescents got on like a house on fire. Now that was amazing to see. lol

Sorry, Nutty, even with photos (very good by the way) you are nowhere near Mello, not yet, but keep trying!

Mr Clapper if you could provide a translation to your latest retort I would be so grateful. By the way I live ever so near the Suffolk border, not! Looks like you boycotted your English lessons eh? Amazing the staff they take on these days eh?

Classic Mello, this week''s brought out the best in you. We have missed you old fella. Keep up the good work!

Yellow Wall Depends on what changes they are. To keep Gunn (under Delia and with her track record) is suicide anyway. I think you can take it as read that we support the team, otherwise we would all be doing something else with our time. Like taking up golf, flower arranging or wandering around the shops. So... IF Gunn is the right man and we get off to a great start and he builds a team who play for the shirt then fair enough, I think most of us will hold our hands up and say, we were wrong. It would be great wouldn''t it, one of Delia''s cheap and easy options actually working! The likelihood of finishing 2nd is not really feasible is it? When are we going to build a team (and a team who are able to play together and interpret the manager''s tactics to the letter). I am more than concerned that even if we managed to collect 16 players do Gunn and co have the ability to motivate them? So forgive me, maybe I have been around too long and set my standards a bit higher than Delia and her legions of very easily pleased fans. Negative, whatever. What''s really a lot more harmful to the club is apathy or acceptance. The year on year acceptance of mediocrity - of just accepting we will never be more than a mid table Championship side. Oh dear, we are not even that anymore. So we should be pleased to be gracing the Third Division again should we? As for support, that''s getting more and more difficult. Singing myself hoarse so I can''t speak for days, but for how long. It''s not easy to motivate yourself when few join in and the football is marginally more exciting than watching paint dry. You may well be able to see the bright side in this, but unless real change comes and soon, we are fated to fall even lower in the footballing world, in terms of league position, debt and eventually more and more fans will walk away.

Quick send the most revered one an email! I think he''s someone else, but won''t mind being wrong Mr Fox!!

Don''t worry Lappin, they won''t be around too much longer.....

That''s fair enough in theory T, but when that 2million is not spent on the team (noticed all those lovely restaurants lately have we) then we are more than entitled to have our say on what''s going on. Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn''t Delia''s money go on hoovering up yet more shares. 66% now isn''t it? And there we are, back where we were 50 years ago. Shameful.

I know Kathy, still they''re the PR dept; whenever did that stop them letting spin get in the way of facts?

Sorry to have to shatter your illusions my friend, I am not a boy and not from Suffolk. Shame really.

Mr Clapper - I assume things are slow with you at the moment (can''t see any functions going on today) how about a game of footie at Carrow Park, won''t take me a moment to get my trainers on. Give me five minutes!

Depends on two variables. IF the present board remain and appoint a few yes men, then he''ll stay - or move upstairs and the guy running the ticket office will be our new manager. IF - change really does happen on the board then I would hope that accountability at all levels is addressed. To this end I would expect a manager with experience in getting a team promoted from the lower leagues is appointed immediately.

It''s a weekend break for me (or midweek!). Wow I can hardly wait....

For someone who works within the NCFC PR Dept, I suggest you do some research and learn how to spell.

Hi Butler, I am doing my best, but I have had football overload all week! Three NCISA meetings in a week is more than enough! lol Today I have (guiltily) spent 2 whole hours in HMV buying up some sale CDs. Best time I have had for weeks. Now busy blasting out the whole road...... But I will catch up, promise!

Yes, isn''t it Beau, there''s still five of them there. Glad we are keeping them busy in the close season.

Do you Mello, what are the vibes in the Werthers'' Originals lounge bars these days?

Spot on again Mr Chops. Yes, visiting fans may well rub their eyes as they gaze at Carrow Road. I wonder just how many City fans will be able to handle the culture shock of Division Three. Interesting times ahead.

Excuse me there Blah, but I wish to register my disgust. I am a Barclay lady and now far too old to be considered as mere rabble; very experienced rabble, if you don''t mind! I have no wish to move (to fit in with your class system) to the South Stand or River End as I would fall asleep/wish the life support was turned off. As it indeed would be. Thanks in advance!

Andy, sorry to say I agree with you, re another possible civil war. Think the meeting might just have stirred up more than a bit of passion for the club (and change) and hesitation in those who really don''t want to go through all of that again (Chase). Of course if anyone instigates this they are going to fall foul of the Barty whatsists of this world. I don''t need to tell you that, but anyone who wasn''t around during the Chase Out era it wasn''t nice, it wasn''t a thrill seeking pleasure; in fact it was possibly the worst year of my life. Nothing is more soul destroying than standing outside the ground listening to discontent inside it and realising your team are losing. Outside we few boycotting souls put up with all kinds of abuse (and if you thought Worthy Out was bad, that was nothing compared to those days). After the games the numbers swelled for full on protests and they have not been repeated since. As a woman in my 30s then, I was spat on, hit across the face, verbally abused and then of course - the infamous police horses. Week after week, a season of Carrow Road on the outside and treks to every away ground in the league as a consolation prize (to see some football and support the team). Of course we got the usual stuff, not true supporters, not fit to be city fans. All of it. And in those times with no internet it was all face to face. Fan against fan. I don''t want to go through that again, but fear it''s a very real possibility. I want Delia and Michael to face up to reality and find a new way forward, but as it stands today I fear that is never going to happen. I too sense a very real change in mood, not just from a personal point of view, but as others such as Bigfeller acknowledge, amongst the more moderate of us. Thursday night was a watershed if you like. There were people there who I hadn''t seen since the Chase days. Does that mean they only come out of the woodwork at times like this, or is it that Thursday signalled a last ray of hope for debate, democracy and reason? Are people generally pinning their last hopes on NCISA and other bodies to take their views to the board in the small hope they will listen? We can all debate until the end of time on here, but eventually it has to come down to action of some sort, just walking away, protesting inside or outside the ground, cancelling season tickets, it will all be down to the individual. What we do need is a strong united supporter group to show the directors that enough is enough and we are not just a minority rabble. Thursday night surprised me, it really did. The hall wasn''t packed with stereotypical protest rent a mob (as no doubt some expected) it was packed with reasonable but long suffering city fans, all of whom made their points in a well balanced and reasoned way. No shouting, no swearing no abuse to individuals. IF I were Delia or Michael I would be rather alarmed by that.
