Stephen Fry (press conference 5.30pm)

[quote user="nutty nigel"]

[quote user="crafty canary"]So he''s a passionate fan (like the other 25000+) and has lots of contacts. Well he had these without being a director and has he influenced anyone to invest? I really can''t see the point of this appointment other than to boost Delia''s ego and the number of her supporters on the board.  [/quote]

As I said Crafty - bad news for those who want Delia to sell up and clear off.

I suppose we will see a return to family football now that Delia has her puppet on the board. Maybe the recent complaints will be listened to and we will see a reversal of the price increases in the bars. No more booking charges when we buy tickets. We will be be able to return tickets and travel again on a whim just like we used to. Maybe even reserve matches will return under floodlights at FCR. And all this because we are now gonna get a few pink quids[:O]

 

[/quote]You''re not allowed to mention pink pounds.  I said it earlier and the homophobic mod removed it.

You think a post referring to pink pounds was removed because the mod was homophobic?

[quote user="thirdlion v2"]You think a post referring to pink pounds was removed because the mod was homophobic?[/quote]Certainly, no other explanation.  The pink pound is a multi-million pound industry that companies try to tap into.  I was attempting to debate the subject here and commend the club for thinking outside the box as it were.  But alas no.

[Well I Never 0]

I have always been a fan of Stephen Fry and he should definitely raise the profile of the club which has got to be a good thing as we need all the help we can get on that front. Is it a political move by Delia? Well she did appoint Bowkett and McNally and seems to be in synch with their decisions so I don''t  know how much she is looking for an ally in that regard. I''m sure that Mr Fry has long been extolling the virtues of NCFC but now in an official role I''m sure it can only attract interest in all quarters (mostly of a positive nature I''m sure.).

Stephen Fry joining City has sent TWTD into meltdown.

There are more posts on there about it than there are on here.

Obviously they are not complimentary, but it shows they care.

[foxruels 1]

not sure Fry is much of a gay icon, had Kyile joined the board however

[WOTB 0]

They are more interested in us because we are the bigger club and they are Sunderland reservesThey also can`t talk about Marcus Evans because he doesn`t exist.

[*-)][/quote]It might have crossed their minds.  Put it this way.  Some journo somewhere will link Stephen Fry and anti-homophobia in football that''s for sure.  Call me daft, but it will happen.  Therefore City will be seen as the best, accepting family club there is.

I''m glad no-one''s bothered by Mr Fry''s outspoken atheism.Stephen Fry is a man I admire for many reasons and I''m delighted he is in an involved, high profile position with the club.  However I''m more concerned about the reputation of Norwich City dragging down Stephen''s.  Wouldn''t like to think Ipswich fans are boycotting QI...

If Kylie joined I''d be board stiff.

True fact he is allergic to Champagne he said it on an episode of QI

I likeStephen a lot, a reall City fan and all round good old Norfolk bor, but, I see this appointment as nothing more than flim flam and an ally for Delia in the boardroom vote.

It won''t bring in one top player for the club imo.

[William Darby 0]

He wouldn''t worry about paying £2 for a cup of club coffee.

[WOTB 0]

He`s the most intelligent bloke in the world. Fact[;)]

[/quote]Surely we''ve a greater chance of getting finance in to buy players with him rather than without?

[ron obvious 1,502]

He''s a crim.

He''s got more hair than me.

Stephen Fry is superb, loved him on Blackadder to Q.I. and pleased for him.

Although I normally cringe when clubs appoint a celebrity onto the board {Robbie Williams and Port Vale, yet the tosser had a Chelsea season ticket at the time}.

Will boost the profile of the club in one way or another. Couldnt give a sh;te that hes gay, hes quick witted and entertaining and a genuine Norwich fan.

Good for him.

Was it First Wizard who said something about gays should be made illegal?

I dont think this is a publicity stunt, although obviously its getting publicity LOL, but not in the cynical way Mr Wizard thinks.
