Norwich City: Revenue from shares sale to fund women's team

Norwich City Women are to receive a cash boost of more than £200,000 following the sale of shares to businessman Mark Attanasio.

The American's Norfolk Holdings group acquired 10,000 shares from the Norwich City FC Appeal Fund Trust.

It had been agreed that money would be donated to fund the club's "longer term vision" for the women's team.

Norwich drew 2-2 with Queen's Park Rangers at Carrow Road on Sunday in front of almost 6,000 supporters.

"The stage is fantastic. What a pitch for them to play on," manager Scott Emmerson told BBC Radio Norfolk.
