So the NCISA organised the Chase out protests and the Worth out protests? Well I never, you learn something new every day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ca 1 Posted November 12, 2008 I''m sure that the ncisa committee members will get together at some stage to talk about the AGM and what their next step is but the meeting only happened last night so give them some time.Meanwhile why don''t all non members email Kathy and join which would give them a bigger voice.

lappinitup 629 Posted November 12, 2008 After meeting posters recently and presumably canvassing their own members, how many questions did NCISA manage to get in last night and what is their reaction to the replies given? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Lucky Nine 0 Posted November 12, 2008 a) Well done, so did I.b) If you were a member you would have gone to the commitee rather than just start a thread on here. ...and if you have enquired about membership good for you. I would hope that NCISA''s numbers are rising fast in these difficult times. However I will as you this. What do you expect NCISA to do exactly, buy Delia''s shares? Delia has said the club is up for sale and they have appointed a consultant to find investment, although nobody asked the question I was trying to ask at the agm (sadly time got the better of the night) which was what EXACTLY is the consultants brief (Norfolk money or further afield, whole sale or part) and how do you plan to ensure they are doing what you are (I assume) paying them to do! I am really not sure what NCISA can do except issue a statement saying they support the sale of the club. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Desert Fox 0 Posted November 12, 2008 Lucky Nine,You asked what should be NCISA be doing. Although I am not one of their members, I would personally suggest that they start to increase pressure upon the baord to be accountable for the strategy which they have set. By this I mean the continued prioritisation of investment in non-football activities at the expense of the team. Please be clear that I am not talking in the past tense, this is still continuing. In the face of having a toothless local media, the Board should be placed under greater public pressure to explain the course they have chosen and how they are going to deal with it. It is no use asking to dig deep (as was implied at the AGM) in to their pockets to fund speculative ventures which will ultimately increase the value of shareholders assets - particularly when thoise shareholders are trying to sell these assests at a profit. Equally, it is no use ring fencing supporter generated funds for football invstment as this will simply allow the Board to redirect their existing ear marked football investment in to the non-football direction.

The Lucky Nine 0 Posted November 12, 2008 arrdee - I never said you should join. What I get a little fed up on here is people calling for NCISA to act on there behalf! If they are so sure action should be taken, maybe they should stand up and be counted....and no I have no idea who you are! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Lucky Nine 0 Posted November 12, 2008 Smudger. I agree it will be interesting to see where we go next. I agree posting on here is a good way of expressing your views, however I have I said above, I wish people would stop calling for supporters clubs to act. They have to consult their members and suprisingly the members often have a much wider veiw than the few of us that post on here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daphne 0 Posted November 13, 2008 Smudger - you are right - if people want to contact NCISA look on the website: www.ncisa.co.ukAll the committee''s contact details are there if you want to get in touch with any of us, and you can email direct from the home page. There is a committee meeting next week - when you can be sure that the AGM and follow-up will be on the agenda. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soldier on 290 Posted November 13, 2008 I sent an email some time ago expressing interest in joining and airing my reviews and received nothing by way of reply - there you go. We all want the best for the club and Im sure I am not alone in thinking that NCISA are a tool to apply pressure to the board. Delia proclaimed loudly at the point it was her opportunity to tell us what happened. She neglected to tell us that Cullum wanted to acquire new shares. NCISA were also not advised of this. I am of the opinion that action starts here but others obviously have different opinions. I am keen to hear of the stance of NCISA though and what they think about Delia only giving us half the story. Im sure Cullum would still be interested in the right set of circumstances Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
