Football club hit by sickness bug

About 30 people at Norwich City FC were taken ill following a barbecue for players and staff, it has emerged.

The club confirmed four professional footballers were among those who suffered sickness and diarrhoea.

Delia Smith is a director at City but the barbecue was not provided by the celebrity chef or her catering company.

Outside contractors were employed to lay on the food to allow Mrs Smith's own catering staff to enjoy the event, which was held on Sunday.

It is not known if Mrs Smith was among the 300 staff who were at the barbecue at the club's training centre.

The sickness bug hit City less than a week before the club, nicknamed the Canaries, were due to play their opening game of the season - away to Preston North End this Saturday.

A Norwich City spokeswoman said: "All of the employees affected have been given time off from work and training.

"The club has contacted the environmental health department of South Norfolk District Council and is awaiting more information from them."

    Heartbreakingly true! That's what embarrasess me about the whole first half of last season farce the fact that i could genuinely believe he could be in charge of something so stupid! Maybe i'm too harsh?!

    Don't worry we had a bbq and fun day for players and families the other day under Pards so it seems as if everyone does it not just Dowie.

    I only found out the other day that Delia was boprn and brought up in sunny Bexleyheath. Come on love throw a few sheckles toward your true local team - not those inbred East Anglians.

    Just think, we could get her to do the pre-match warm up instead of the 'professional' bloke. Then again...

    Norwich City can confirm that each of the resolutions proposed at the extraordinary general meeting held at Carrow Road on Wednesday evening were passed by the relevant shareholders.

    The approval of the resolutions means that Delia Smith and Michael Wynn Jones will now step down from the club’s board of directors and take up the position of honorary life presidents of the club.

    This brings to an end an incredible 28-year spell as directors of the football club.

    The club’s existing board would like to place on record its sincere thanks and gratitude to Delia and Michael for their contributions to the club during their time as directors.
