Hoola Han Solo 448 Posted June 29, 2018 Unfortunately the Canaries Trust isn’t giving the fans a real voice as they claim. Very board friendly and condescending/patronising to anybody that dares to criticise the board. More like The Clappers Trust. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BobLoz3 486 Posted June 29, 2018 Is it anything to do with the Canaries Trust, though? I don''t understand where you''re getting that from. Is it just because Sainty is head of it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not, I suspect, aiming as high as a change of ownership, certainly not in any thought-out way, but at least campaigning against Smith and Jones in particular.Possible emergence only, because this kind of protest gets talked about quite often - including on threads here - without coming to anything. But perhaps this time will be different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hogesar 9,502 Posted June 29, 2018 Maybe purple.But if we are challenging top 6 for the first half of the season theyll have very, very limited support. I reckon theres a good couple thousand sheep who want the board out one week then dont the next based on results. The ones who will campaign regardless are little in number, possibly less than a 100 from what I can tell.Which reminds me of a game last season. We conceded from what I think was a poor Tettey backpass (May not have been that game come to think of it but for the sake of the story lets assume it was). One fan who is part of this white and fluffy group I refer to stood up and shouted "F$&$ YOU DELIA!!" And walked out the ground. We then won or drew our next home game, he was there and the first thing someone said to him was "You can''t really blame Delia for last week mate". He responded "I know, bless her" and there''s not been a negative word since! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[:P][/quote]Being the "Norwich through and through" fans that they are (with one from Wales the other from Surrey) they''ve been repaid every penny they ever invested in the club, so if they sold the club for 80quid they''d still come out on top.

[/quote]That is exactly how i see it Purple, however my post was somewhat tongue in cheek with regard to another poster suggesting that people will only moan and groan on here as opposed to actual doing something constructive.The facts are that i was contacted by a former NCISA member who suggested it was surely time for it to be reformed and asked if Roy Blower and i would consider it. This man and his father are concerned fans have no voice to express opinions to the club. Roy is in very poor health and i will turn 67 this October so told him it was a non starter from our point of view. I did offer advice if he felt it was needed and told him to contact me if he or others wished to progress any further. 12 years as NCISA treasuer and 3 as chairman also during that time sitting on the SCG did give some insight into organising and running forums and events including 3 meetings at St Andrews Hall attended by 500 plus fans on each occasion.Obviously Robin Sainty still reads the Pink Un but never now posts and picked up on my post and decided as is his nature to resort to sarcasm and bait a fellow fan as those who follow him on social media know he is prone to do. To gloss it up into saying an expert is involved with an anti board faction is far fetched to say the least and to then respond to a question by one of his protected Twatter followers by saying it is just somebody on an ego trip is really not worthy of a response. Is it any wonder that he got dogs abuse months ago on social media when he acts like this towards fellow Norwich City fans ? I do not condone what he was put through for a minute but i was once told if you enter the boxing ring be prepared to get a bloody nose so a little thought before you post anything at all on social media. when you claim to represent fans might not go amiss.Canaries Trust giving the fans a voice is their tag line. Yeah righto as long as that voice is sung from their hymn sheet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
