Sadly, after 2 months of turmoil which saw the manager, every member of the technical staff (including the groundsman) and every single player leave the club (and the same again at the start of September!), my beloved Norwich United FC have been forced to withdraw from the Thurlow Nunn Eastern Counties Premier League. They will try and exist only as an U-21 side in the Anglian Combination Div 1 and as an U-18 side in the midweek Thurlow Nunn Youth League. I have no idea what the intentions are with the Club's Sunday morning junior set-ups. The last game played, a League equalling 12-0 home defeat by Thetford Town, was the last straw as 15 out of the 16 players selected were from the Youth set-up. The Club have shown real poor communication skills with the media and fans alike and getting any information out of the new Media Officer was - and is - like getting blood out of a stone. There have been allegations of assaults concerning the latest manager and former players alike plus a story of secret filming in the changing rooms - all of which can be read about on social media.

The Norfolk FA are carrying out investigations but I understand that there is no police involvement. I will miss the fellow supporters on a Saturday afternoon and the banter amongst us but will move on and watch other local football in my area.
