Following an open letter from the club’s joint majority shareholder, Delia Smith, addressed to Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Norwich City have issued the below statement.
All at Norwich City are becoming increasingly disappointed and frustrated with the government’s lack of support for football and its communities. The government has openly spoken about its desire to support the hospitality, leisure and entertainment industries but, in recent months, has done very little to support football clubs.
Whilst other areas of society have been opened up in order to protect the economy, it is disappointing that there has been no further discussion on a roadmap for supporters returning to stadia or the financial impact on an industry that employs tens of thousands of people across the country.
