03/07/2009, 4:25 PM Norfolk Dumpling Joined on 08/05/2009 Posts 154 Can NCISA clarify it's position and answer the following questions? After reading the comments made by John Tilson, Chairman of NCISA, in the EDP this morning (Friday 3rd July) it would be helpful for NCISA to answer the following questions : What has to happen before NCISA can give verbal support to the changes that have been made at Norwich City during the closed season? Does NCISA actually seek the old directors to resign? This does not appear in the NCISA statement after the meeting at St Andrews Hall. Has NCISA stopped supporting the club financially? Is the sponsorship of Ian Butterworth continuing? Is support being given to the Academy? Is the Canary Challenge going to run again this year? What positive actions have NCISA taken to support our club at this time of great need? The statement made by NCISA after the St Andrews Meeting was based on fans who attended the meeting. Has NCISA undertaken any discussions with it's own membership in recent weeks to ascertain if the leadership of NCISA reflects their views?    Report

I'd like to know how they collected enough views from the members to be sure NISCA needed to make the statement, i didn't get a call/e-mail/invitation to a sit down to discuss Personally i feel the current NISCA Committee is in desperate need for a personnel overhaul, new blood to take the Association forward, the failings of the Committee to be heard until too late last season needs to be addressed    Report

They have had a personnel overhaul, there are several new committee members onboard who are making a difference in my humble opinion.    Report

To be fair City Angel, no-one is suggesting that NCISA has to consult all its members before issuing a press statement, just like no-one seriously suggests that NCFC should consult all 18,000 season ticket holders before it appoints a manager. However, all the majority want is an organisation that can issue logical and well reasoned press statements in touch with the commercial realities in which the Club currently finds itself operating. Take a step back, have a hard long look at the organisation and then ask yourself, "does Ankles50's question about change in NCISA apply to the organisation?"

How many of you were listening at that time though? It is easy to come up with such things in hindsight isn't it? NCISA are doing about as much as can be done prior to the new season kicking off. If they decide to get back on the positive side of the fence prior to the new boardroom and manager proving that they have put a decent team together on the pitch then they will deserve every bit of criticism that is aimed at them. I am sure that we will not see ANKLES50 pushing them in to action or demanding changes to the NCISA leadership, or setting up an opposing fan group though.

Having met you in person i know you do not have quite the same vocality when you have to use your voice, i on the other hand am quite prepared to take action as well as words.  I am taking a general view at the working operation of the group and will submit my constructive recommendations for consumption by the committee. Failing that i can always follow your stance and start name calling & pigtail pulling perhaps    Report

When group like NCISA has the support of people like Smudger (who think we should be driven into Admin) and the support of CA and Cluck is God who would be "sick" if the club was successful ........... Then you know its basically turned into a "hating" organisation......... They are basically becoming totally irrelevant and have been overtaken by more professional fan groups. The directors group went about things the correct way. They (as fans) put their money where their mouths were and bought a decent chunk of ownership in the club They were EXTREMELY vocal about how badly the club was being run at the board level (which we can all agree on) but always remained professional in their dealings with the club. It was never personal or spiteful. It was always constructive, they offered alternative ideas/help. Nothing that would directly hurt the club. Eventually their patience/professionalism paid off and Mr Alan Bowkett was offered the position of chairman despite being a very vocal critic of the board. /END OF    Report
