Norwich City Fans Social Club 126 Posted July 26, 2021 We at the fans social club wish our friend, Ben Kensell all the very best as he starts his new job as CEO at Hibernian FC, they have made an absolutely cracking appointment! Ben did a lot of work the last few years on fan engagement, had regular meetings with all the fans groups & us, he was easily contactable by fans with questions or complaints & will be missed, but its a new challenge for him which he'll relish. To the social club he was more than a ncfc official, he was our friend, having been with us since Day 1, 6 years ago, when he supported Diane in starting the social club. He has been a regular at our events and nothing has ever been too much trouble for him We were lucky enough to meet up with him the week before he left and gave him some pressies from us, a memory book with pictures of all our events over the years, a csf shirt and an engraved crystal glass, he was pretty emotional. He will be missed by us all 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surfer 1,547 Posted July 26, 2021 IMO Hibs need a touch more yellow in their kit (see 1875 original crest) and the stadium needs a few more seats... Ben will be on those issues a.s.a.p I'm sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

essex canary 496 Posted July 27, 2021 Sounds like a good opportunity for Ben. Chris Sutton notes in the last chapter of his book how Scottish Football has been moving in the right direction in terms of spectator interest. St. Johnstone winning both domestic cups was a great story. It will need it's Covid recovery plans without the TV monster we have in England. Raising casual attendance prices by 50 per cent won't be an option. Best wishes to Ben. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
