  1. Best moderator? Pete? What a cheek . . . (only joking). Pete''s off for a couple of days (well, there is a match on tonight) but we''ll get our brains in gear . . . Celia
  2. EDP and EN are Archant Norfolk, Evening star is archant Suffolk, so yes, ultimately we are all part of the same company. The editor''s email address is on the website on this page: http://www.eveningstar.co.uk/Content/contact/asp/NigelPickover.asp Celia
  3. How often do we have to remove or rewrite posts for this site? Not very often: I think people are aware that if they go too far - in terms of language or libel - the post won''t get through, so they write appropriately. We do try to keep our hands off the messages as much as possible! Although the moderation causes a delay, I think we have a really good debate here thanks to the posters.
  4. The web team reckon you''re all winners . . . Could be complicated - I suppose we could get nominations from fellow posters, take the top five, then have a vote? Not sure we''d do it monthly, though. Prizes - have most people here got season tickets already? Should it be something else - a shirt? Suggestions for method and prizes welcome and we''ll have a think . . . Celia Web team
  5. Sorry to spoil the fun Your Majesty - but someone might have sent more than a sympathy card . . .
  6. Norfolk''s Chief Constable, Andy Hayman, will be online answering questions from the public between 6.15 and 7.15 tonight on www.edp24.co.uk. Have you got any questions about policing the Norwich City games? Either go online and ask them directly yourself, or post them here and we''ll ask them for you.
  7. "Where did the £1000 prize you mention come from?" I think he was joking . . . at least I hope so!
  8. The following story appeared about him in the EN: A FORMER Norwich City star who was rumoured to have swapped his boots for high heels after a sexchange operation has been tracked down in America and he''s still a man. Tony Powell, who played for the Canaries during the 1970s, is now the manager of a hotel in Hollywood. A search for the former centre back was launched by the Evening News last month after the club tried to track him down for its centenary celebrations. Rumours surfaced that the one time hard man had had a sex change operation and was now happily living in the US as a woman. Now the former Canaries hero has been tracked by a Sunday newspaper to Los Angeles and he is still very much a man. Mr Powell, 55, who has two grown up children said he was baffled as to why people thought he had lost his tackle. It''s ridiculous," he said I don''t know where this started. I am all bloke I can assure you. I''ve never worn a frock in my life. I''m the least likely man to have a sex swap . "I had a reputation as a hard but fair player I dropped off the radar because I hated all the celebrity stuff. When I came to the States I left all that behind." Mr Powell made 275 appearances for Norwich City and left to join the San Jose Earthquakes in the US in 1981. He then moved to the Seattle Sounders but the team went bust .It was then that he decided to hang up his boots for good. He has lost the flowing locks he was famous for during his time at Carrow Road and now sports a short greying crop. He missed the reunion of former players which took place to celebrate the club''s 100th birthday but said he would have been unlikely to have joined them anyway, adding: "Maybe I should have sent them an autographed bra!"
  9. His days are numbered, why he can''t just stay up on the half way line I don''t know. Apart from that a good performance, well done lads
  10. I don''t want to stifle the debate, but I think we could probably close this thread now?
  11. McKenzie is cup-tied - he played for Peterborough against Grimsby
  12. I was at home a few Saturday evenings ago and kept popping to my pc to moderate posts . . . but there weren''t any. (Maybe because people weren''t expecting to get them through). The reference to the ''last post'' being at 11am on the Saturday morning really does mean that no more posts were made during the day. Saturdays are quite often quiet on the Pink, probably because people are at the match. We don''t have the staff to have more than one person on duty on a Saturday, and the shift runs roughly from 10am to 6pm. However we can try and do more in the evenings if people are wanting to post. On moderation, our policy is fixed - we moderate posts before they are posted, not after. A libel is a libel even if it''s only online for a few hours. Sorry.
  13. I''ve spoken to the organisers, who are still trying to work it out . . . but they know he didn''t finish in the top ten. They will be putting as good a list as they can get on their website: http://www.themascotgrandnational.co.uk/
