Foulger recently came into some cash, that''s obvious. If Tilson had used his detective skills then he would know this as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why does Tilson think that if MF can afford to put in £1M now he should have done this before ? If Tilson is such a philanthopist why doesn''t he throw in his wedge ? I am a staunch supporter of NCFC and have my 100 shares. I am prepared to stick in £100 now if the other 18K+ season ticket holders all put in £100 as well.

Downloads 35 Posted May 29, 2009 No i think Al''s statement is fair. I''d stick 100 in if all the fans did even though i don''t have a lot of spare cash.I certainly wouldn''t bother throwing 100 in for the sake of it just because i had the money without thinking there would be some point to it.

I didn''t say that I had money to throw at NCFC that''s the glib construction you decided to take on my message. None of your business of course but I don''t have a great deal of spare cash but as I invest alot of my time in supporting Norwich and I have derived huge pleasure from doing so over the years (not much at the moment though) I would be prepared to "put in" £100 if all the season ticket holders did the same. £100 on it''s own wouldn''t make a spit of difference which is why I suggested what I did.

Inch High aka Inchy.. 402 Posted May 29, 2009 Blimey did somebody on this thread swallow a thesaurus? I''ve always liked the word supercilious though and it''s not one that is used often enough,please tell me you use it when chasing chavs around Norwich city centre or in the street/village you live in.

Shyster 0 Posted May 29, 2009 For what it''s worth, I don''t think the money is Foulger''s - I think the money is from the sales of Delia''s last book, but because everybody despises her & Michael, Foulger is being used as a pawn as such. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shyster 0 Posted May 29, 2009 I tell you what would be a good bit in the EDP - a page three like in the Sun - for local girls. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pete_norw 0 Posted May 29, 2009 And what would local girls want a page 3 for As for this debate who''s paying what, I have always said I have no objection to letting my 20% go to Gunn''s transfer fund as long as that is where it goes, and not into the Kitchen for new pots and pans, And on that note If all of the S T holders were to give up the 10 or 20% would the club allow the fans to have more of a say on who was bought with that money by way of a ballot, I have no idea about politics or high flying business, but I do have the greatest passion for my club and if by giving my 20% back to the club will help then I will, But at the end of the day we have been suffering bad decision makeing for the last 13 years, how can we be sure that this is not going to be another, And I do wish Tilston would shut his mouth and give his arse a chance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
