TIL 1010 5,246 Posted November 2, 2022 Anybody know how it went yesterday afternoon at the club attended by a number of supporters groups including City Elite ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
essex canary 622 Posted November 2, 2022 (edited) Who are City Elite (assuming something other than the Board)? Is this about atmosphere in meeting rooms or in the stands or both? To be fair the Club will probably need to go extensively through their MI5 style confidentiality checks over the next 3 weeks or so before they can let us pleb shareholders in on the act.

Is there any particular reason why shareholders should be first in line to find out what went on at a meeting about the match atmosphere at Carrow Road ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, if you bought a certain number of shares you were promised a video live stream to every meeting that ever happens at Carrow Road for life, even if its about whether the catering stands should stock Chicken Balti, Chicken & Mushroom, or Chicken & Bacon Pukka Pies. Didn't ever materialise. Essex Canary is raging.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WD40 726 Posted November 2, 2022 Can only imagine the meeting descend into an exercise in spleen venting if attendees are being honest. The drum would probably come up as an example of hearing what fans are saying but not listening. Calling out fans in club media should as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The young folk will be banging a drum this week. The old folk will be on about not banging it next week or banging a different one.

There is/was no point in suddenly springing a surprise question anyway as their only response was to glance around the room for someone to take on the hot potato. There is always the chance they may do a little more homework on the questions given the Attanassio factor.

I've seen City Elite on Twitter, they are the group who travel to away games with the drum, seemingly they put on a couple of mini buses so guessing there must be around 12 - 20 odd or so of them, not sure though. Seems as though thre meeting was how to improve atmosphere at home games and the club invited various supporters groups to attend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My further enquiry to the Club on floodlighting hasn't done any better. I am guessing they haven't yet told anyone whether any changes have been made since supporters first made enquiries in August yet people are still experiencing problems with many floodlit matches coming up and no reassurances forthcoming.

Genuine question, I have no idea. In relation to Stu, I don't know. The accounts quote £204k for 105 calendar days for the Executive Director and just short of £3 million for the Senior Management Team for which they wouldn't quote the staff numbers. The away members fee would therefore fund perhaps less than a quarter of the Executive Directors Salary. That is a tax I am not paying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nexus_Canary 1,206 Posted November 2, 2022 Someone should tell them to sit down spoiling the peace and quiet with their partisan stupidity. Some of us want to sit and watch a football match with our Bovril and sarnies. Bloody y00t. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Floodlights were brought up again at our OSP meeting last night. I've been assured it is being looked into, and that people from the club are sitting in different areas of the ground to measure the impact of the lights.

I now remember reading the EDP article nearly 2 months ago about this service at an away game then the Club appointing a totally different ineffective drummer for a home game then giving some inexplicable reasoning. Good to see that the Club have eventually followed that one up. Then again I know Wolfie like myself addressed the floodlight issue in August and got a holding response about the Italian company being further consulted. It would be good if that issue could be followed up fully in 2 months. The Club's customer services standards suggest 2 weeks should be the norm for a full response Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
