the price of success

Dear Member(s),

Those of you who attended last year?s Independent Norwich City Supporters Club AGM will be aware that membership of the organisation has been in decline for some time, mainly due to the improved fortunes of the Football Club and the fact that we are no longer allowed access to current players or staff.

Last year we rebranded the organisation in an attempt to reverse this decline and the committee have worked tirelessly to try to develop new ways of increasing membership. However, we have had little success and this has had an impact on the committee itself, with a number of members leaving during the year, or indicating their intention to stand down at the AGM. Twice this year we have had the problem of meetings being inquorate and subsequently unable to conduct business, and it is difficult to see this situation improving.

The simple fact is that the organisation?s raison d?etre, which is to take up supporters concerns with the club, has been undermined, firstly by the fact that, with City riding high there are less concerns being expressed, and, more importantly, because the current regime is not prepared to engage with supporters groups.

Consequently, we see no way forward and feel that the point has been reached where the options are to either wind INCSC up or see it enter terminal decline. While we are prepared to oversee any winding up operations that the AGM agrees upon we give notice that the committee members and officers will not stand for re-election at the AGM. If the AGM decides that a new committee can be formed, we will, of course, give it our full co-operation.

Regards

INCSC Committee
