I really don't understand why Season Ticket holders feel they should be entitled to an automatic priority on away tickets. A season ticket gets you a guaranteed seat at all home games, at a discounted rate.

"Norwich is the club in eastern England. We have a big fan base. Besides us, there is Ipswich, but they are not so cool and have no fans," he said. https://www.pinkun.com/norwich-city/canaries-timm-klose-reflects-contract-extension-1-6102787 😄

Big fan of the Drmic link being reported today. Would be perfect for the 2nd choice striker, something different to Pukki as Drmic is better in the air, but still a clinical finisher.

I remember the run in at the end of the season Hughton got sacked- it basically made our season 34 games long as they way we were playing that season we knew those final 4 games were unlikely to bring in anything and it had a psychological affect.

That's actually a good point. I think people will complain because "it's always been that way", but (as a ST holder) I think you're right. In the past, a season ticket was sometimes seen like a "super membership for proper fans", but I agree it's really just a discount on all home games. SB

As far as I can see there is one key question that needs answering....is the number of away premier memberships capped??....if so , at 3000?....because if it is that would partially (Bournemouth away aside)..answer and appease most concerns..

Just to save Lakey the trouble... IMO we need fear nobody in this division, so the order in which we play them doesn't matter IMO. We're going to win the league anyway, if not even better so bring it on!

The Football Club has to deal with huge swings of demand. The core away support will get their tickets , and the saving from what they would have paid should help. I do agree that these folks are the ones who maybe should have been given a free or subsidized priority based on their travel . (Except the Cabbagers that think they have reserved seats and moaned at my son - they can shove it) As for the rest of us, we all want to go to White Hart Lane and West Ham. These will sell out the away allocation easily. If the 750 can get theirs, which they will, how else can the Club monitor this for a whole season? Those of us that went to the last few away games (I'm not sure how anyone failed to get a ticket for Wigan that REALLY tried to get one) are the classic glory hunters that all Clubs have. I ended up with 1250 points somehow but only went to a few away games each year. I'm not expecting any favours. As a season ticket holder that renewed early I have a nice comfy seat for all 19 games for around £26 quid. Great value.

I am pleased with it. Based in London so no season ticket. I only did 3 away games last year, but I can hopefully secure tickets to a few more this year with membership. OTBC

But it's £50 they have to pay just to be on the same level as someone who hasn't sniffed Carrow Road in their lifetime. I get why that would **** people off, no matter if you'd make it back. Not if you are one of the 750. There had to be a line drawn somewhere. 750 loyal supporters that still have to pay £50 Who will get that back (compared to last season) over the course of a few away matches at £30.

I honestly can’t see this sticking he has done something I never thought I would see all canary fans united!

I've managed not to fall off this season🚵‍

And what about fans who went to 10+ away games last season who refuse to be exploited and pay for the membership!

This reply reminds me what my mother (RIP) once advised me: Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience. You win.

Not sure it will have an impact maybe you should book St. Andrews hall for a protest meeting?

I'm just going to 'wing it' for the away games I want to go to. I would like to do the Southampton/Leicester/Burnley and Sheffield matches, so hopefully these will be less in demand.

Yes, one for each 👍 It would have been fairer to combine the home and away price.

Every year a ‘leaked’ set of fixtures appears. Always turns out to be rubbish

"Ooooh- Jarrolds restaurant doing their cheese scones and their free filter coffee refills at the ground has a certain appeal..." Have we learned nothing from the folly of The Galway Roast months...😱😉 Apples

Pretty sure there was some sort of Premier League get out clause, but I agree with others saying that it won't be Jarrolds sponsoring the shirt... Maybe the kids' shirts... Akin to Gravity this season. But I doubt it's that either!

I jumped straight into this and purchased two Premier Away Membership's for my brother and I. I'm an exile and only made it to three games last season... So on the face of it this scheme benefits me. However, if the membership subscription is not capped then there will still be huge demand for tickets and therefore a £50 outlay offers no greater chance of being successful. Every supporter has a fair and equal chance to enter the ticket lottery (putting loyalty to one side) .. but now there's more people with lottery tickets. So I've probably wasted my money... unless I've missed something?

Didn't we tonk the gunners on their pumpkin patch in game 1 of that amazing 92.93 season? Bring em on!

What... like you (and me)? 😂 They could be mine after the mix up hey? 😉

In my defence , guys, before I get Crucified.... I did say “supposed” leak .....and later mentioned the unreliability of Social Media News , and The Sun newspaper!!

I’ve only got as far as your post, H, but I’m sorry, I’m already annoyed to read ‘casual fan’. Do you know that there are many supporters that are just as every bit passionate about their club as you season ticket holders, yet are in the unfortunate position of living many many miles away from Norwich, and therefore logistically do not have the benefit of getting to see their beloved club every other week minimum? So if there is a scheme that helps loyal NCFC fans see their team play even just ONCE next season, then I’m all for it. Be thankful you already get to see your team regularly folks, and don’t be so bloody greedy, think of others.

Yeah I agree with this. It's true that you often see bizarre or unexpected results at the start of a season so why not take on a "big boy" first hey? Got to play them all at some point or another.

If we start with Spurs away I think that would be great. Beat them and be joint top would do nicely.

For me its important to have runs of more winnable games with the bigger teams spaced out. Difficult to build momentum otherwise.

Jim, I know it's been difficult to criticise the board over the past year but it feels like you're clutching. It may not be the best decision but it's with the right intentions - in practice it might not work and they've already said they'll have to see how it transpires but if it was all about more money they wouldn't have capped all home games at £30.

Apologies if this has been raised before, but there are 90+ replies and I don't have the time to read through all of them. The issue for an exile like me who lives abroad is that if I can only get to one game (it might be two) it will end up costing £70- £40 for premier membership and £30 for the ticket. But when you consider there may be only 1500 casual tickets available per match, you aren't even guaranteed a ticket even if you're a premier member, unless they cap it. As a result, there's a risk that someone like me could pay £40 for membership and then not even get a ticket anyway. For these reasons, is it even worth buying a membership, just on the off chance you can get a ticket for the only game you're in the country for?

Isn't this situation just typical. My son and I, who have been season-ticket holders for 12 years plus, went to NINE away games.It would have been 10 if the club hadn't messed up over ticket allocation for Rotherham. That means we, like many other supporters in the same boat, will have to pay £100 extra just to get a chance of a high profile game along with "Joe Bloggs" who hasn't been to a game for years. I wonder how many of these fans that will benefit from these changes would have considered going to Hull on a wet November evening or Blackburn on a cold Saturday before Christmas as we did?

You've no chance

We are northern-based Canaries and get to about 4 away games each year ..what with the cost. I think this new scheme might mean I may not be able to buy any! Unless I'm mistaken. It wouldn't be worth paying for membership for us all then the ticket costs. And if allocations are taken by members then will be far too far down the queue. ☹️ The points system was bad for us last year too as I couldn't get Wigan or Rotherham tickets not having enough points. That's the trouble with success I suppose. TV is all I may have next year. But I think at least most games will be viewable. Not a good announcement for me. And don't talk about Carrow Rd attending. I've not managed to get a ticket in years ....season ticket holder numbers are very high. If they are on general sale it's late on and then you've less time for the pre planning / travel etc.

Still think our Stadium is big enough?

We all seem to be well acquainted with the scenario we prefer for all of Aarons, Godfrey, Buendia and Lewis. Keep hold of them all for the entirety of the coming season. Rely upon them to fully contribute to a successful season ie. survival and maybe that little bit more. See their respective values surge, as they surely will. Then bow to the inevitable and, willingly or otherwise, cash in. That's the best we can hope for surely? We can only perform the Canute act for so long. In the meantime we tell ourselves that a season of further establishment in the comfort of Carrow Road is the best thing for all of them. Rather a regular first team season in the yellow than a bit of bench warming in a red tracksuit after all.This, of course, may or may not be the case, but it suits our bias to the full.Whether the player or his agent thinks the same is a matter for conjecture. For the next month or two then it's just a question of keeping our fingers crossed and relying upon Webber, Farke and the scouting team to continue to perform miracles whatever happens. (If we cannot avoid losing any of our youngsters in the coming month or so then a good price accompanied by healthy sell-on clauses is essential.)

We could be top of the League by around 2.20 🥳

Will write more on this later but I think these changes are disgusting, money grabbing of the worst kind. They’ve got this badly wrong and it reflects very poorly on our so called “community club.”

With all due respect to Crystal Palace, Max is much better than that. He's a top 6 player and he shouldn't be looking at other Premier League teams. I hope the club don't stand in his way if we get an acceptable offer from a top team. Anyone else should be politely refused. The same goes for Godfrey, Lewis and Buendia but Aarons is the best of the lot.

Very poor from the club. I hope they listen to the feedback and act quickly to reverse these changes - specifically with regards to the away allocation. Capping home ticket prices at £30 is a good and commendable thing BUT it does meant that relatively season tickets are worth less. Sure you're guaranteed your bum on a seat but with a membership and not being fussy where you sit you can pretty much get tickets for every match. The away scheme is just terrible. No reward for loyalty, and nothing to stop a Manure fan from Great Yarmouth picking up a membership and ticket ahead of a season ticket holder or someone who went to nine games last season. Utterly bonkers.

£50 on top of my season ticket and 3rd priority in queue? Thanks for rewarding loyalty!

Let Palace have Max Arrons for what ever that are prepared to pay. Never heard of him myself. Max Aarons on the other hand: they can bloody well sod off.

Which as you say is very little, which means your knowledge is very little. Which your comments demonstrate time and time again. Inverse to this, I have watched/written a lot about women’s football, so by your own measure I must know a lot more about it than you. Or are you claiming that despite not actually having much knowledge you are in a great position to comment on it? You have an agenda and you seem to be trying to push reality to fit that - when it clearly doesn’t. Women’s football is gaining in popularity, especially televised women’s football. The 6.1m people who watched the England game on Sunday is hard evidence of that. That is a larger TV audience than every televised Norwich game last season combined. Those people obviously wanted to watch the match, despite your derogatory comments about the quality. The professionals that play football will, by and large, say they don’t want it compared with men’s football as they know there are differences between the two and women’s football should be enjoyed in its own right. It sounds like it isn’t for you, fair enough, but your insistence that no one actually likes it and it is all some conspiracy that it is even allowed to happen is weird. I think you should stop worrying about feminism, it isn’t going to impact on your life. Greater gender equality/equity is actually likely to improve everyone’s quality of life through a stronger economy.

I am equally sure that most of our players will recognise when they are on to a good thing where they are. To go to any big club, they will not be guaranteed much first team football, so they will not necessarily be tempted there. Money could turn their heads from a lesser but richer than us kind of club, like Palace, but are many of the clubs outside the top six in any better position than we will be next season in terms of quality of coaching/togetherness/fitness/ability/confidence/momentum...... No. Keep this squad together and we could be a real force next season - and the chance for Max/Ben/Jamal etc to get a whole season at first team level in the PL with us is something that should keep them here.

I do wonder if some premier league clubs are under the belief that our star players can be picked up on the relative cheap. I'd be very interested to see what offers (if they do) come in for Max Aarons. Palace obviously believe that they will be able to take Aarons off our hands, but at what price are they willing to go to?

No such thing for clubs of ours and Palace’s size. Were West Brom an established PL club? A move to Palace would be a pretty much sideways step

All good reasons not to sell them your best players. It makes no sense to sell players to clubs you will realistically be in competition with.

They haven't been this excited at an arrival at their club since they hired Paul Hurst.

I wasn't actually drawing any conclusions about expansion but merely stating the facts. I agree that we need to do it for the sake of the next generation but I can't see how we can make it happen unless I win Euromillions. If I do I'll gladly hand it over. I am strongly against huge borrowing. Just look what happened down the road. The one thing that would help a little is safe standing but in the current political climate that's unlikely to happen for years. We are fortunate at the moment to have people running the club who can be trusted to look to the future. They know they can sell 40,000 tickets for half the games in the Premier League but how long will we be there? It looked like Stoke had become an established Premier League club but all of a sudden they are now a very ordinary Championship club.
