We can''t find anyone to invest on your terms, but if you put Stephen Fry on the board maybe he can help look? You can''t invite wealthy investors to a match at Carrow Road and relegate them to the back of the Director''s Box?You''re having us on?Seriously though, by now the Club ought to have given us even an outline update.

nutty nigel 7,902 Posted August 19, 2010 Don''t be too hard on the old boy! My old mate Lyphov Riley often misses news about our beloved club too. It''s difficult to keep in touch from such a distance but he told me the other day that it''s a small price to pay for what he has.I mean''t to ask him if he still got the governments heating allowance[:O]I reckon the club should send individual weekly updates to folk like Lyphov.

CambridgeCanary 0 Posted August 19, 2010 Sorry but what useful purpose would it serve apart from satisfying the curoisity of fans to make sensitive commercial information public?None of us can affect an investment so why do we need (as opposed to "want") to know?

Enjoyed the Watford match live and in living colour on digital cable and a pals large sceen LED TV.Caught up with all the UK newspaper coverage on my laptop with super fast (so the claim) 16 gig internet on my return home.Bet it beats cleaning your bogs.
