And to complete the picture Greavsey , Anthony Richens is the FD, joined from MK Dons and also isn’t on the Exec Committee , but does play off 8 handicap so probably should be as he hits it miles 🤣 Not sure we were arguing, I just got his (interim) title wrong 😀 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just asked who was on the exec ctte to replace Ben K, I've kindly been given two names, but they are not on the exec ctte. Hopefully the panel will be able to fill in the blanks post their first meeting next month. Thanks both for the details thus far. Appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I encountered him last year through work and he was extremely helpful, and have chatted with him a couple of times at recent events. I'll add to the list about the senior structure/exec committee... although I'm pretty sure the club would make an announcement when they can. If they're appointing externally, most execs at that level work off at least a three-month notice period. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kick it off 1,952 Posted August 31, 2021 Any chance of asking for an update about safe standing at CR given recent news? We've been at the front of pushing that debate with Tracey Crouch, but presumably won't be participating in trials as we don't have rail seats yet.... would be interested to see how fast the club would anticipate adopting this, which areas (presumably lower barclay and snakepit?), etc etc 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Out of interest, the Club are currently advertising (on Linked In) the job of Head of Sales and Acquisition, which is more akin to Ben Tunnells old role. Sam's role is now "responsible for all revenue-generating areas" - so a wide - ish role. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIL 1010 4,746 Posted September 2, 2021 @Feedthewolf one of your OSP colleagues Johnathon Byrne is on Facebook this evening asking for items to be placed on the agenda for your meeting which he says is on 17th so take your sleeping bag with you. 🤣 Anyway what caught my attention was his claim the plans are in motion to increase the capacity at Carrow Road by 7,000.

Badger 2,405 Posted September 2, 2021 (edited) I don't know if it's been read before, answer but I work on the fact that they have been streaming the under-23 games. It would be nice is better be some form of commentary. It wouldn't have to be expensive - basically it would just help to identify the players. I would have thought it would provide some news from media training for some of the younger players considering their future or a voluntary opportunity for other staff?

How much narrower would a seat be if capacity was to be increased by 7000 by narrowing seats alone, ?no new stand needed. Or bench seats would allow many,many more.

Season tickets priced on waistline. 28,000 ish at the moment so you'd need to lose 25% width to accommodate the extra 7000 seats if they were all being fitted on the existing footprint of the seats.

That said, he didn't give any numbers at that meeting, just that without the land being purchased the increase of the city stand wouldn't be able to take place.
