I hope that means you realise this is a non-story. Only in Daily Mailspeak did Balls "give" £600,000 to this FITC project. You might as well say Gordon Brown gave the money, since a prime minister is ultimately responsible for everything his government does.This decision was taken by an independent panel not comprised of Norwich City supporters. A junior minister who is not a Norwich City supporter noted the decision. Balls ended up seeing a memo announcing the independent decision that had been noted by one of his junior ministers. Balls played no part in the process, and there is no suggestion the project didn''t deserve to win out in the bidding process. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don''t think so. It was trying to imply a favouritism that, as PC has clearly pointed out, wasn''t there. If people aren''t scrupulous in standing up for the truth when lazy/biased reporting happens like here, in a couple of years it will be said that Ed Balls gave the club money because it''s the headlines that get remembered.How many remember that Gordon Brown was pulled up over the expenses he claimed for his cleaner? I would bet a lot more than those who remember that in the end the Daily Telegraph who ran the original story apologised and stated that he everything he had done had been above board. And similar things probably happned over many of the stories of MPs expenses, but if you through enough sh*t eventually some sticks (granted there was plenty of genuine sh*t in that instance).It might seem humourless to some, but equally those who objected to jokes about coons and wogs were probably seen as pompous in the seventies.

Mello Yello 2,572 Posted October 17, 2010 I personally, do think that there must be more deserving clubs in areas that have more deprevation and lack of necessary facilities than us - and I am really quite surprised that Norwich FITC received that substantial amount of funding....How many football league clubs are they? What''s the odds on NCFC being so fortunate than the other needy clubs? All I can say is "Lucky....lucky.....us." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
