MC_NCFC 67 Posted December 19, 2023 Nope this isn’t a post about the individual. Rather, a new supporters group for those based in the Midlands. A place for people of all walks of life and the only discrimination being you can only join if you are Yellow ‘n’ Green. The aim is to share stories, meet up, travel together and have fun when sometimes the football isn’t all that positive. There is an Instagram and WhatsApp group for the group and the group is officially recognised by the club. We have direct contact with club officials to enable us to have a say even when some of us at times may be in that 20%. Feel free to DM me and I can add you to the groups.

Great from the social perspective. What isn't needed though is a never ending list of groups with a direct line into the Club. It should all be brought under 1 umbrella.

K Lo 230 Posted December 19, 2023 (edited) I used to live in Cov, spent some time staying in Leam and then was staying in Nun for 6 1/2 years. Now live back in the glorious Norwich. Maybe I could be an associate member, exchanging woeful tales of the old A14 Catthorpe Interchange, A11 through Elveden queuing as far as the eye could see and the lottery that was, and still is, the Cov ring road.

Given the Club has (for example) Disability Access meetings with the Canaries Trust, it maybe worthwhile how common subjects can be entertained to include all interested parties and to avoid duplications.

Totally agree on joined up thinking. The starting point is allowing the fan base to have more influence and control for a range of topics. The second point is to avoid Silos and to ensure lots of different groups voices are centralised. The third point is accountability to ensure common themes are listened to and dealt with. My personal take is the club have a way to go but we are also in a position that being Norwich City supporters where we have more influence than ever and more so than many other clubs.

Do you mean me? some of us have work to do and don't get a chance to catch up. Just to add I lived on South Hill Road in my teens, watched Norwich v Sheff Wed cup match with my legs through the railings, delivered papers to Kevin Keelan and had Big Dunc as a coach to my youth team, also played for the Lads Club after the youth leagues. Don't add much to the board as I can't be bothered with all the in-fighting! but when I die any autopsy will only show yellow and green through and through. Living just north of Worcester next to the River Severn. Edited December 20, 2023 by Midlandscanary add info 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
