Are we the only voice of reason?

Whilst recognising the new season is only five weeks away and unity amongst supporters is important, the committee of the Norwich City Independent Supporters Association (NCISA) has concerns about the appointment of the club’s new directors.

NCISA’s committee is questioning the reasons behind the appointments.

John Tilson, chairman of the association, said, “Our previous chief executive was a board director and it did not work. Why hasn’t the club learned from this?

“The present majority shareholders absolutely assured the fans they were looking for new investment. Which of these directors has brought that to the table?

“And in appointing the managing director of Archant to the club’s board, can we assume there will be no further support for fans from local newspapers should things continue to go wrong at Carrow Road?

“Undoubtedly NCISA will receive criticism from some quarters for taking this stance, but we feel we must pose these questions on behalf of the large number of fans who passionately displayed their feelings at the public meeting in Saint Andrew’s Hall.”

“Of course, we must all get behind the team on the 8th August, but time will be the judge as to whether these appointments are good or bad. And NCISA will not be hypocritical by changing its stance without good reason - even at the eleventh hour.”

NCISA exists to represent its members and all Norwich City fans.

We are a democratically elected group of fans and have elections from our members each year onto the committee.

Current subscriptions are £2 from now until 31st August 2010.

Our committee and in particular John Tilson (chairman) and Kathy Blake (secretary are happy to talk to fans or those from the media at all times.

Contact details for them and other committee members are on the NCISA team page.
