Fry and Smith A' Listers?

[Mello Yello 2,280]

I really do like and admire Stephen Fry, his intellect and humour are outstanding and quite unique. I''ve actually met him and spoke to him personally (lucky me)......I also hope that Stephen Fry can attract investment to Norwich.....If unfortunately, Stephen is unable to attract future investment to Norwich? My opinion will not alter. I''ll still like and admire Stephen Fry - (even though he was unable to attract future investment to Norwich).

Will raising the profile of Norwich, actually really make us more of a successful club?

Only time will tell......

.....and not forgetting, that small matter of reducing a ''manageable'' £20+ million pound, millstone around our neck.....debt.

The fact is that Fry is NOT suitable material to have any say in the workings of a serious football and should stick to his inane tv quiz shows made up of his luvvie ''Z'' list guests.Anyone who thinks this is anything other than a farce too far is clearly rather more impressed by celebrity than the game of football.... which is what NCFC used to be all about.[/quote]The previous incarnation of Cluck was mainly bothered by Smith only because she was a woman from Stowmarket - post after post droning on about how the club was being feminised by an "outsider"...  I challenge Cluck to find a better representative of Norfolk man than Stephen Fry.

Oh come on Blah be serious![:D]

Bipolar and homosexual. (nothing against either quickly said) BUT a better representative of Norfolk Man.

 

[Mister Chops 7]

"B" or "C" list, I''d say.There can''t be many more famous Norwich City fans.  I mean, you could ask Bob Dylan, Cameron Diaz, Paris Hilton to raise money for NCFC but they''d probably just give you a funny look.  And anyway, who cares?

Ok Cluck how about finding a representitive of Norfolk that follows these two following rules:

a) If famous

b) Is still alive.

Go on I challenge you.

[One Flew Over... 33]

According to Google Fry is currently more popular than Kate, Ian, and Richard. He''s way behind Johnny and Tom, but on a par with Zellweger. So an A-list UK celebrity and maybe a C-list global celebrity?

Davo[/quote]If by ''famous'' you mean a clumsy fop who given the right connections/luvvie celebrity clique/sexuality/university etc. to have made a name in the media... Personally I would put Princess Diana somewhat ahead of him (couldn''t stand her either), but if he/she has to be living I would suggest James Dyson has contributed rather more to the country and would be a serious person to have involved with the club. Bernard Matthews is automatically associated with Norfolk nationally and would be ''local''....Couldn''t see Dyson throwing in his lot with Smith though somehow. He is a real heavyweight when it comes to business innovation and Smith''s ego wouldn''t allow him to share the stage she currently commands.Nothing against Stephen Fry as a performer... but as an ambassador for the club?.... farcical..

[/quote]That seems reasonable to me. Given he''s ahead of Kate, Ian, Richard and on a par with Zellweger i''d personally say B-list on a global scale, given how i percieve the fame of those 4 to be. But frankly, to assume he''s anything lower than C-list is riduculous, and shows a blatant disregard to the circles he''s widely acknowledged in in favour of what the average pre-pubescent girl has postered over her walls (as if thats the only way to gauge what and who is famous... Very vain Wiz, very vain indeed).As far as the most famous fan, it''s a department we could very well win in, and if we don''t the glamour of our fanbase is amongst the top 3 or 4 in the country i should reckon, with very few that can boast a list of the likes of :Jonny Wilkinson - rugby playerHRH Prince AndrewCarol Barnes - TV news presenterMartin Bell - TV news reporter turned politicianCharlie Catchpole - TV critic in the Daily ExpressCathy Dennis - singerSophie Ellis-Bextor - singer (The Audience, Spiller/Groovejet, solo)Sir David Frost - TV presenterStephen Fry - comedian, author, actorMyleene Klass - member of Hear''SayDelia Smith - TV cook, authorHannah Spearitt - member of S Club 7Sarah Thomas - supermodelSimon Thomas - former Blue Peter presenter, now on Sky Sports NewsSusan Tully - actress (EastEnders, Grange Hill, etc.)The Darkness - rock bandHugh Jackman - actorJon Thaxton - boxerJake Humphrey - TV presenterSteve Thompson - rugby playerMick Dennis - sports writer and broadcasterThat i can think of.However the way "A-list" celebrity is being thrown about on a message board for a second division English football club, you''d almost assume it was common place for Hollywood to get involved, where in reality that is o'' so very far from the truth. Only a select few can boast such famous fans that have as much as been rumoured, let alone stated their allegience to a football club, and no club has ever boasted that kind of famous backer.But i don''t see any harm in revelling in the glamour of our fanbase, and even by First Wiz''s standards i should think Hugh Jackman ranks among the "A-list" elitist group he''s been ranting on about, almost as if it was the be all end all. Although you could percieve Jackman as a loose association in comparison to the avid football fans on these boards (that more than likely make up a minority pool in the grand scheme of our fanbase anyway), few, if any Hollywood stars have tied their flag as firmly to the mast as Hugh Jackman has with Norwich City. As much as posters on this board belittled his knowledge of the club (which was laughably typical of this contingent) Jackman having got our 1985 Milk Cup victories date wrong by a ''whole'' year, he did clearly have at the very least a vague idea of our distant history, and was (in my mind quite surprisingly at the time in his interview) aware of both who and what the name of our rivals were, and knew the name of our stadium whilst reminscing about the Old Farm Derby.The only other big A-list star''s that have voiced allegiences to English football clubs that i can think of are Sylvester Stallone to Everton, and Tom Hanks to Aston Villa (and that only came about because he thought it sounded like "some sort of old Roman suburb"). And those are big clubs that they have each individually shown little or no knowledge of anyway. Usain Bolt is said to be a massive Manchester United fan, yet ask him about the Munich crash and i''d be shocked if his response was anything other than utter bemusement. And true, these guys (Stallone and Hanks) have a big history in Hollywood, but in the current climate Jackman is one if not the most saught after talents in the acting world, and at his greatest heights has arguably been the biggest star on earth at the breif times when the spotlight has fallen on him.We have a proud fanbase, not only in loyalty and number, but also in glamour. Don''t be bitter about it, because i can sure as hell assure you we''d the only mass of fans in the country seemingly foolish enough to acknowledge it with bitterness rather than embrace it.And if your deflated by the ''lack'' of glamour in our fanbase (re Wiz and the likes) get real. Football is only so big, and where the ''A-lists'' are it''s hardly an ''A-list'' sport itself anyways.

Not in terms of fame or worth, no. But the point was someone famous/worthy of joining the board, and unfortunately that not possible for Watling.

Missing the point twice in one thread huh? Money can''t buy you everything.

[John 0]

With famous fans you get what you get, and as much as this board seems so willing to provide a critique analysis on each fan we have in the spotlight, truth be told we got pretty damn good considering how our heritage weighs up against other football clubs.

ABC or D list isn''t I guess the real issue at all here is it? It''s investment, the old queen bee will never sell the club in her lifetime (I''ve come to accept that horrible truth) so she''s saying Fry''s contacts will give us charity effectively.

I seriously doubt any truth of it myself, its just appears to be a PR stunt by both of them imo, and the club, whilst screaming out for cash, won''t see a penny raised via Fry''s well meaning antics.
