Archie 0 Posted March 17, 2011 New member but old poster here, I used to post back in the early 2000s in the days of the very old website and posters such as Foghorn and Mook. Been reading ever since but just haven''t posted, I''m not sure why...Before the forum police attack me for posting in the wrong forum, I apologise but let''s be honest no-one reads the other ones and this may well be more interesting/useful than some of the tat which finds its way on to these forums!I am hoping that some kind soul may have some advice on who to get in touch with at the club about securing some sort of link up between NCFC and a team in Tanzania. A close friend from Pemba Island (who I have converted to being a Norwich fan, he is spreading the word) runs a team called Vijana Leo (the Youth of Today) who have just been promoted to the Zanzibar premier league, but they may have to withdraw because they lack the money needed to travel round the islands and to get a proper strip. I hope to cover their travel costs, but would love to see the team in Norwich colours, from whatever year.I seem to remember a Norwich fan a few years back going to Sierra Leone doing a similar thing. Perhaps people could suggest who to contact at the club or if they have any other ideas - there was a charity called Football 4 Africa doing this sort of thing but they seem to have moved on to others things...Thanks in advanceArchie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nu_matik 184 Posted March 17, 2011 Set something up so people can donate, I have loads, and would happily donate a few for the cause.You could even set up a giving site so people could donate a few quid once on a while? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Archie 0 Posted March 17, 2011 Jas, nu_matlik, thank you very much - a very generous offer. And snakepit Ric - kind wordsI may try and go through the club first as it would be great to get a complete kit (perhaps at the end of the season when we get a new home strip). If not, I may well take you up on your offer! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lambert is King 0 Posted March 17, 2011 Initially you need to get in touch with the lovely Chloe who can either start the ball rolling or point you in exactly the right direction. If you pm me I will supply you with her email address.It would be good for the fans also to get involed especially if we are going to form some kind of link. Maybe we can raise the odd £3m or so and buy CMS for them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One of our managers got in touch with the club (could have been through Chloe but this was 6 years ago) and they sent us 10 full kits from the reserve team. All shirts and shorts numbered.I really REALLY hope the club still operate like this and do all they can to promote the club and associate itself with fans worldwide.

Mister Chops 7 Posted March 17, 2011 Old replica shirts trade on eBay and other websites for £50+ these days.And you have a team in Zanzibar, of all places.... and they couldn''t just wear yellow T-shirts but need replica NCFC kits? Okay..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wings of a Sparrow 1,708 Posted March 17, 2011 Assuming you''re serious - that''s pretty cynical Mr C, sounded like a genuine request to me. Anyway if it''s really the case (which I doubt) that old Norwich shirts are going for £50 on eBay then I''m sitting on a small fortune tucked away in a chest of drawers in my spare room.
