N&P is no more

[Guest]

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

And God said, “Let there be NCFC” and there was light.

God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness.

God called the light “NCFC” and the darkness he called “ITFC”

Without offence to religious believers but many of the River End ticket holders were around then.

Just been speaking to someone at the club, and I asked in passing if they knew anything about the N&P situation.

Whilst we agreed the Yorkshire building society (the owners of N&P) would have little desire to continue to sponsor a stand in Norwich (or Peterborough for that matter), it all depends on the length of the sponsorship contract they are tied into.

Sad thing is, could be as many as 300 people lose their Jobs, club loses a sponsor, but many lose a whole lot more.

Totally agree Lessingham. I''ve been an account holder there for years, and all the staff I have encountered have always been top class. Popped into my branch today, and they have been told that they are all being made redundant, great way to look after people.

I would like to wish all at the N&P well, and good luck for the future.

And that is great news, genuinely pleased for you. And i''m sure some will find other jobs, that might be more rewarding, some will take jobs they don''t want and others may take some time, wish them all well though.
