They should be thanking me for the exposure. Then again getting less than £200 out of the £1000 or so they needed for the banner suggests it's not quite according to plan. Really? Dear me. The thing is, there is a valid argument about needing a richer owner. I doubt it is shared by as many fans as seems to be widely supposed by those who advocate it but even so it ought to be possible to put together some kind of sensible pressure group or campaign. Apparently not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,537 Posted July 23, 2020 I'm trying to rack the old memory but I think the last fan's fundraiser was for the flags and banners? Was it over £8,000?  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I joined that group the day after you started this thread hoggy and messaged Adam Potter with regard to this thread as it appeared you were running a couple of weeks behind the news. I must say i have not spotted the naughty language aimed at you on there so are you a member as you have to apply to join ? Nobody seems to have picked up on my idea about banners on Grapes Hill footbridge, the Magdalen Street flyover and the bridge over the A11 at Cringleford. A cheap way to gain publicity as all you need is a couple of bed sheets and an aerosol can. 😜. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nutty nigel 7,537 Posted July 23, 2020 So the going rate for flags and banners is £8,000. Or £200 for a jalopy with wings and hope it flies. Or a tenner for a couple of soiled blankets and a marker pen.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wcorkcanary 4,334 Posted July 26, 2020 Yep there are some really sad individuals out there who, emboldened by being members of a 'group' think its ok to get personal with people who dont share their views. Then of course there are the enablers or shoitestirrers as I call them , who pass on info, correct or not, to feed the cretins. Have a laugh , disagree, call each others names by all means . But there is a nasty sly edge to some of the stuff that goes on. Whoever fed TuB incorrect info about me really needs professional help...... they couldnt even get my name occupation or location right. Sadsack mofos the lot of them. Im quite happy to argue the toss with peoples internet personas, I really dont want or need to know any more about their pathetic real lives. The pathetic response to Delia out Banner behind plane fundraiser just shows they have sweet FA to back up their bullshoite.  1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Harry53 209 Posted July 26, 2020 As a newish City fan i haven't experienced all the failed attempts to stay in the PL due to bad recruitment or a lack of funding. I understand that this has become frustrating but to publicly show hatred against Delia and the board is disrespectful. It seems to me that as a business they have done well to keep NCFC alive over the years, and currently we are enjoying being in a club run by people who care and now with a healthy bank balance. All this gels well for the future as with the likelihood of players sales in the next few weeks, we will have money to strengthen the squad. But you want her out? With no potential buyers on the horizon that's a ridiculous wish. The time is not now but when Smith and Jones are no longer able to be involved. I hope your proposed banner never surfaces as i feel it will seed negativity for the minority. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
