    The lottery is as it's name suggests, a lottery. A completely different scenario, you're either trying to wind me up or you've not thought very deeply about it. 

    I have thought deeply about it.

    I am a City supporter so I do not countenance a 'so called supporter' righting off the team I support in order to get attention. Until it is mathematically impossible for City to remain in the EPL, there is ALWAYS hope.

    1) If you average conceding two goals per game then you will have to score three goals to win a game. 

    2) We haven't won games til now, what are you going to do different to suddenly change that in the last few weeks of the season? Bear in mind that Farke isn't doing anything differently. 

     

    You are using the past to predict the future.

    On that basis I will go and buy the last set of Euro Millions winning number for the next draw, I'm bound to win using your logic.

    No, we're regulated already. 🤐

     

    Seriously, how can you expect different results from the last few games unless you change what got you dangling off the bottom. 

    No striker in the world can score enough goals to counter our woeful goals against column. 

    No attacking midfielder can do that either, Farke keeps trying Plan A, we're still hanging off the bottom crying about how unlucky we are.

    Madness 

    Sorry, but I disagree.

    We don't need to win games by 3, 4, 5 goals to improve the goal diff', though it would help:)

    If we do win the required games (lets say 7) by just one goal then our goal diff would reduce by at least 7 taking us to -16 and if Watford, Wetspam and Villa lose the same number of games by the same margin the their GD will be -23, -20 and -22

    This is certainly thought provoking. How old before I get a cheap deal on my seat, is it damp proof, am I allocated digestive biscuits and is it obligatory to smell of urine. I have the farah trousers on order and I am preparing myself to leave before the end of the game. Is there anything else I need to know?

    Not sure what the age barrier is, but have you been working on being miserable ? apparently I have mastered this one according to my family as they continually refer to me a 'miserable old git'!! I try and time my leaving so that I get near to the bottom of the stairs just as the whistle blows. This way I see all the match by the guys in the seats next to me thinks I'm leaving early, so I'm tagged as an early leaver, win win.

    For my sins I believe this to be nothing but a money grab by the club. Yes I got the tickets I wanted.

    However, I like most on here think the £50 just to join the queue is a rip off. Couple that with the £35 membership scam, again a money grab. This will be re-enforced when the club confirm there will be NO refunds, sorry RBF

    I only managed a couple of away games last year, and not much more a carra (ill health). As such the old points system did not help me, but it was fairer to those who went to a greater number of away games than this current abomination.

    As for having to join two membership schemes, did I say this was a money grab❓

    I thought my question was reasonable and polite but obviously not as you have gone off on one. I also have been manager at The Bank of Mum & Dad as far as university education and helping with car purchases, holidays etc go but i took that as part and parcel of parenting. Sorry to hear of your heart attack but i myself had a very serious illness five years ago which saw me in HDU at NNUH for eighteen days and spell a spell on a ward before returning home.

    My intention was innocent and sorry you took offence but for one or two on here to attempt to portray it as a willy waving i am a better more loyal fan than you attitude is rather silly.

    Your question was, imo, intrusive, hence my response. I gave additional details about my life as it appeared that you needed such information, hence your challenge. (was that the induction ceremony for the newbe?)

    However I am going now, which is all that is important to me 😂 and my youngest son who is also going.

    By the same logic shall we not have a season ticket renewal period? After all, previous loyalty is meaningless, all season tickets should be up for grabs to everyone on May 1st! If you miss out, tough luck!

    But only if you've paid your £50 to be in the lottery! 🙂

    How come you have never been before  as it isn't as though the opportunity to go and watch Norwich play there has happened countless times  even in recent years ?

    Not that it is any of YOUR business, but in previous years I devoted ALL of my spare time to my family. Yes I went to home matches as and when I could, both in time and finances. Now that I am close to retirement and my children are much older that is no longer such a big restraint. Last year I had a heart attack, so I feel more vulnerable hence my 'bucket list' comment!

    More recently my children have all gone through university, which for most of us costs a fortune, so bank of mum&dad came to the fore.

    Anything else you want to ask? inside leg measurement?

    @VW/RTTB,

    Thanks guys, I appreciate your sentiment but I much rather have firsthand experience before I consider the individual to be a Richard Head. Bill has avoided 2 direct questions, spouted bo//oks but doesn't have any!

    oh dear the thickos won't welcome that - their view is that a contract is optional as to whether it has to be adhered to. Payments are made at the club's discretion rather than being a legally binding agreement.

    Which rather begs the question of why there was such a fuss about the club's high wage bill when the parachute payments were only 2 years. NCFC should have employed Biscuit who could help sell the players then told them there was no legal requirement to honour there contract !

    Yes I know.... absolute bollox.

    The contract IS binding. Therefore the player is due what was agreed with the selling club.How this is funded will eventually fall on the buying club. But the idea that a palyer moving on to a lower wage contract can simply be 'fobbed off' with what the selling club thinks is utter nonsense. If it were not nonsense then NCFC could have simply sold all the unwanted, high wage players to clubs for a lower contract.

    If as with McNally the clubs wants to terminate his contract then he is due the amount left on his contract, as with Moxey..... but not players it would seem.

    Payments due will not be a lump sum as said on here but will simply continue as per normal.  With any new football contract being deducted from the old contract. That is all that happens with players.

    Odd that something so simple cannot be grasped by some.

    from what I have read, only you BILL has used the term 'optional'

    Prey show me, as a new be, where someone else has used that very term please.

    I don’t understand what the problem is here. That someone else got a ticket that you wanted? Nothing’s changed there, the ground is oversubscribed, we all know that. If it’s that people paid for membership but didn’t get a ticket, again nothing has really changed. Do you expect the club only to sell as many priority memberships as there are spare seats? There has to be some level of oversubscription or seats won’t get sold.

    NS, I understand your argument there, but how many times oversubscribed is enough?

    With an estimated 1500 casual seats available, circa 8000 memberships sold why are they still selling memberships?

    Where has he actually stated that?

    Not your interpretation of what he wrote, but what he actually posted.

    Please show me as I can not see it anywhere!

    Pretty depressing isn't it ?

    Even more so after those in the ' 750 Club ' have had their fill. If they're all taken up that leaves just 2250 tickets for 6250 members.

    Not much better than a 1 in 3 chance for your fifty quid. 😢

    And for those of us who bought the home membership:

    "7873 home memberships sold"

    With only 1500 casual tickets available, that's a 1 in 5 chance for £50😢

    Still, the club are quids in 🤑

    Robin Sainty has revealed that 7k away memberships have been sold

    ...so there we have it, 7000 of us scrambling for 3000 tickets for the more popular away games.

    Scandalous that the club didnt cap it and take money off that many knowing that over half will be left disappointed.....just cant believe another priority level of i.e 5-10 away games last season + season ticket holder wasnt introduced to a)make it fairer...b) avoud the inevitable scramble online,on the phone and in person when the tickets become available

    For me this just confirms my view that this was purely a money making exercise.

    The club has lost out due to the cap on away ticket prices. They also felt obliged to match that price for casual home supporters.

    Just received my away membership pack. Why oh why are they sending us all a flag and scarf - we already have about 6 of them already!  Couldn't they have done away with the gimmicks and charged us less in the first place - or is that too much like common sense.

    Having bought the home & away priority membership are they going to send me a second scarf + a flag?
