The Trust is acutely aware of the discontent amongst Norwich City fans regarding events at our beloved club, both on and off the field.
Last night we were aware of a significant number of Norwich City fans, either by being contacted directly or by monitoring social media; many of them the type of person who would be the last to wave a burning pitchfork. But these are people who are genuinely concerned that the club that they love with all their heart, the club that in many cases they have followed around the country for many decades, is now on a slippery slope that could end in disaster.
With the furore surrounding the stadium redevelopment still very much at the forefront of people’s minds, following an extraordinarily poor run of home form with no points earned at Carrow Road, the two limp defeats this week have ignited an already volatile situation.
The heartbreaking regression on the pitch while nothing appears to change is both confusing and provocative to fans who want nothing more than to be able to take pride in their team.
There is a widespread feeling that we the fans are disconnected from, and not valued by the Club, while drifting apparently rudderless towards League 1. With that in mind, we sincerely hope that Mark Attanasio will be able to communicate a plan for recovery both on and off the pitch when he visits.

Which of course it isn't anymore it's an American Billionaires play thing.

The team is much worse, I'm loosing my long held seat, and there being nowhere else in ground where I can physically get to, or would be blinded by those awful floodlights if I…
Undervalued supporters. As one of the major contributors to bailing out the 2002 ITV Digital crisis I and many others are certainly that. How on earth would NCFC claim 11% interest for their owners and £2million per year SMT bill in League One?
Better late than never but the Canaries Trust have hardly been leading from the front in supporting the 1998 principles of the Club towards fans as set out then by MWJ and/or the objectives sought by the Football Regulator.
I, like many others have supported our club since the late 1950's. We have been in league 1 before and it made no difference to me, and if we were to go down again I would plan on being there to cheer us on.
As a Barclay Ender I am not directly affected by the River End changes, but if these plans come to fruition I will have a decision to make. Although I am not a Norwich person, I love the city and the club and It will be one of the saddest days of my life if I am forced to walk away. We need to make our feelings known in any way possible I am prepare t…
