SITE INTERVIEW: Jenny
It's rare that you find a more passionate mother for their club than Jenny. The FFUK Site managed to catch up with her for this interview.
1. Which relegation from the premiership was more painful for you being a Norwich fan, the first one in 1993/94 or last season?
I’m going for the 1993/94 season. That was devastating. The 2004/05 season was bad, but the last day of the season the Canaries had their fate in their hands and they blew it -big time.
2. Are there any other clubs near Norwich that would provide a local derby should they get to the level of Norwich?
I live in a town called Dereham 16 miles from Norwich. Dereham always play Norwich in a pre-season friendly and Dereham normally get thrashed (amazingly) but Dereham have great facilities and its always a great night.
3. With the poor start to this season how many personnel changes do you envisage to the squad so that Norwich can get anywhere near the playoffs and promotion?
FFUK where do I start. I think it’s time for a change of manager. Up till now I have been against replacing him, but things are going from bad to worse. If things don’t change very soon, we are not looking at promotion, we are looking at relegation.
4. As a general rule, how supportive are Norwich fans in the toughest times?
I was going to answer this yesterday but didn’t! Today fans booed the team off the pitch and shouted 'What a load of rubbish' after losing 1-0 at home to Sheffield Wednesday. Personally that’s not my style, I don’t boo but I do question their commitment and loyalty to NCFC
5. As one of the few female members of FFUK currently posting, do you think that the general behaviour on the board is up to your standards? (Please don’t name anyone unless you have to)
Yes on the whole it is. There are members I completely ignore and there are members who have wound me up slightly but I have let them know as much!
6. What is the 2nd most important thing in your life behind your children (assuming of course that your kids are the #1 priority)?
Yes my kids are the most important thing in my life. Good health is the second most important thing.
7. Which 5 people from outside of your family would get an invite to a dinner hosted by yourself?
Robert Green (NCFC), Elvis Presley (if he were alive), Delia Smith (to do the cooking), my penpal in London and my friend in Sydney
8. With Christmas time coming up, what is the one present that you would most like to receive this year?
My mobile phone has been playing up lately so a new mobile
HACKERS TARGET FFUK
Last week, Football Forum UK was a victim of someone hacking into the boards. The event occurred on the 21st of May, at around 2PM. After 5 hours, the boards themselves were back online, and it was a short time later that everything returned to normality.
At this stage, efforts to find the perpetraitor have proven fruitless. It is unlikely that the hacker will be caught given the sheer volume of people logging into FFUK on a daily basis, much less the traffic throughout the internet world. This is something that invisionboard were looking into as of last week, but no word has been given since.
Commenting on the boards concerning the hacking, noble leader THX described this as "just a flat tyre on the hard shoulder on the highway of life, not a head on crash into an oncoming truck." He also paid tribuite to Karl for his assistance in getting the boards back up and running in a matter of hours after the attack. It is also a testiment to the members for continuing to support the board.
In what will be a busy period for FFUK with the World Cup a matter of weeks away, there was relief that the hacking was done at this time rather than during the tournament, if indeed it should have been hacked at all. Hopefully there are now steps to help prevent simillar situations from occuring in the future.
