I am sure that a few of us might have found Purple''s thoughts running through our heads, however, the inspiration for this thread ( and its purpose ) was the late, great Ray Drucker. I am sure that not one us would know better than Nutty what Ray would have wanted with any changing circumstances and, therefore, I feel Nutty will exercise the appropriate judgment of either status quo or seek an approach for alternate options.

nutty nigel 7,534 Posted January 6, 2013 There was a lot of soul searching and thought went into this at the beginning of last season when we had to become self financing. With FONCY winding up and us in the Premier League raising the money for charity was suggested. I took the advice of many PUPs and it was felt that our football club was the glue that held the whole thing together. This gives exiled canaries, and in fact locally based Canaries, a small stake in the future of the club we love. For me the only downside of our current successful spell is the loss of community. The multi-million pound business has seen many fans groups fold. The Premier League is a selfish place to be I''m afraid. The club treated FONCY abysmally after all the money they raised when the club really needed it. But fans of my generation know we will have lean years to come. It''s up to you PUPs what we do. I just administer this on your behalf. We can revisit it again when the money runs out. I''ll go with what you want. It''s a shame that a poster who has been registered on this board for longer than these threads have been running makes his first contribution a meddling one.
