Around 300 Norwich City supporters attended the BBC's Summer Scrimmage event at Carrow Road, which featured a guest panel of majority shareholder Mark Attanasio, executive director Zoe Webber, sporting director Ben Knapper and head coach Liam Manning.

Questions were initially put to the club's senior figures by BBC Radio Norfolk presenters Rob Butler and Phil Daley, before attendees were given the chance to ask their own questions of the panel.

The pressing topics for the supporters assembled in the Top of the Terrace lounge included the club's transfer model, footballing philosophy, women's team and stadium improvement.

Liam Manning ran supporters through pre-season preparations so far, highlighting new signing Mathias Kvistgaarden's first training session on the grass earlier in the day.

Mark Attanasio spoke of his aspirations for the future of the football club and reaffirmed his enthusiasm for the growth and development of the women's team, while Manning confirmed his plans to be a regular visitor to The Nest this season.

Zoe Webber highlighted the improvements to Carrow Road over the summer including waterproofing work on the stadium roof, before answering a question on the possibility of expansion.

Ben Knapper spoke around the recent departure of Borja Sainz and speculation surrounding the future of Josh Sargent, confirming the club's desire to retain the services of the American front man.

The sporting director suggested that the club's summer transfer business had not concluded and that it was the intention to strengthen, whether or not there were further departures.
