In order to finally bring down the stadium, club and board the anti-club brigade are holding a Squeak-a-thon before the last home game. For health and safety reasons we do request that those attending do so with a responsible adult. It is hoped that the level of noise will be such (high pitched that is) that much of the ground will crumble. A petition will be available and those attending will be urged to pick up one of the crayons and add their names to the list. Please note that joined up writing would help. The demands to be put are that the board be sacked, as is Worthington, his coaching staff and all players that he has signed. The club buys back Ashton and Francis and appoints Mike Walker as manager. The goal mouths are placed in front of the main stand and the south stand so as to allow Huckerby more space on the wing. MIdweek matches are played only in the summer when members of the protest movement can stay up later. Executive boxes are replaced by dens and the expensive restaurants are turned into tuck shops. ps if you were watching the club before we went to Cardiff, please do not turn up. You are not welcome.

As on Monday there is fair likelihood that any phone box close to Carrow Road will used as the meeting point for the anti-club''s latest protest. Organisers hope that the mass squeak caused by so many juveniles marching round Carrow Road may cause the walls to fall down. There is also high hopes that a fly past by a squadron of local pigs will be evidence of greater support. One of the leading lights in the campaign against the club, Mr Tom Daft, said " Oi ''ave bin a comin ''ere for more than two years and I think things ain''t right ". The gaggle of malcontents have a list of grievances that they will be handing in to the club. 1. Sack the bored 2. Replace the manger 3. Free entry for all 8 -14 year olds 4. Bring forward evening matches to finish before bedtime 5. .... errr, that''s it

How did your club get into that mess ?

Never understood how those surges started. Do remember sat on the grass at the back of Barclay one afternoon as the Leicester fans came round. Massive union jack and some idiot in a long white butchers coat. Otherwise it was the standard banded scarf hanging from the belt. Hundreds of them, all being put through the far turnstiles near the south stand. Next thing there''s an almighty rumpus as City fans attacked them. Not sure how there wasn''t a cordon, but after it had been sorted I found the bloke near me had the white coat. The rest of the game was nothing more than massive sideways surges as the rival fans sort to gain the advantage. Unsurprisingly, for those days, the bar reopened at half time, oblivious to the mayhem around. Policing was pretty basic as an older lad who I knew from Guist had been thrown out before the game but simply paid and got back in again. Do wonder now what it must have looked like to those in other parts of the ground as these incidents were not isolated scuffles but full scale battles. Only saving grace was that no one was seriously injured.

Atmosphere changed noticably in the 60''s. By the 70''s it was the wild west. All the guff about football violence in the 80''s was based on there being cameras to film it. Pussy cat stuff. It was a rough working class sport that reflected those times. I''ve seen mass brawls in the barclay before the segregation. Poor old plod linked arms trying to hold the fans apart. The noise was incredible. Low roof, thousands of drunken fans and everyone charged up. Beating Palace one nil to stay up. The whole ground was singing ''On the ball " Singing, not the stupid chant like stuff that sounds like a speak your weight machine doing an impression of a donkey. That night there was way way over the numbers listed. I jumped up to celebrate something and didn''t get back onto the ground for another ten minutes. The game has changed immensely. The atmosphere is dire to the point of non existent. A few years back I was in the Barclay when were were playing Pompey. We scored and I stood up, and pointing at the fat bellied bloke with the bell, started to sing " You''re not ringing anymore ". Next thing I knew two stewards had walked up and were threatening to throw me out ! Worse still I was pulled over on my way out and warned that as they had my details on record any further disturbance would mean I would be banned ! ! I don''t condone violence and I wish is was like it was in the 50''s, but somewhere we have lost an awful, awful lot of the fun.

Better to chuck a blue shirt on and pull on a pair of your mum''s bloomers and head off down to poorman rd. Fill out a handsome contract, ask sheepy to sign it and you''ll soon be getting a game.

Should really be - Who was/is the best City striker you have seen play ?

Wouldn''t it be better if citizen Paul YGB could have each of his various aliases having different characteristics ? One could be an endless moaner, eternally trying to see the negative side of things. Another one could be an upbeat chap who gets behind the team and club and wants the best for us. The other could be a chap who is a master of spelling and grammer, well perhaps that''s asking a bit much.

I''m sorry Charlie, that''s not a new contract in my pocket

Not an explanation but a worthy comment on the old method of doing things - " The last traditional, adrenaline-zapping, vomit-inducing, lifeenhancing deadline was on the blue, green or pink sports papers in the days when all football matches kicked off at 3pm on a Saturday afternoon and finished promptly at 4.40pm. It was just you and a computer against the world while editors and print managers hovered nervously behind you. I''ve seen grown men sweating like shaved pigs in a Tupperware box as that clock ticked remorselessly towards five o''clock. I''ve seen grown men cry as they noticed that a part-time copytaker had referred to "Hulking Stone Rovers" in a rugby league report. I''ve seen grown men faint after a proof reader (remember them) pointed out a rugby player waving his willy on a Page 27 team pic, long after the page had gone. " I well remember hanging around the news stand at the bottom of the old Surrey St bus station as the first pinkun''s arrived around Five O''clock. The bundle would be ripped open and handed out faster than any distribution of food to the starving. Late results in bold type on the back page and a full report on the front. Always read the report as we jolted our way out of the city, even though I had just watched the game.

I''m sorry Youseff, but it''s not what I had in mind for dress down friday

" Really? Colchester? Shrimpers? " Yep, those two have hardly set the football world alight have they. Must be awful having to put up with misery guts such as TO7. " Had a good day dear ?" "No, we beat Sheff Utd and at this rate we might end up in the play offs and that will mean more games and then we might end up having to go all the waydown to Cardiff and what''s going to happen if we win there, eh ? You tell me ? I''ll tell you. More bloody singing and cheering. More drunken idiots making a racket in my local. More of that cavorting in the street and people enjoying themselves. You don''t get that at ipswich. They sit quiet and behave themselves. Why can''t our fans be like that ? "

Hot Cross Bone. Jimmy Bone was a wonder to behold. Foggo hares down the wing, pushes one into the box and the defender just beats Bone to put it out for a corner. Bone has both fists clenched at the Barclay, screamin'' "come on ". The noise was deafening, the atmosphere electric. I was flat on my arse once with a heap of others on top when we scored at one game. Christ alone knows how there wasn''t more injuries when everyone surged forward a hundreds tumbled forward. Magic days

" I thought we played Oxford away in the Milk Cup in the 1985/86 season rather than in 1984.... " yep silly old me thanks for looking it up, I''ll sleep easier tonight

We did much the same in ''82. Took off after Xmas and went all the way climaxing in one helluva afternoon at Hillsborough. Game over, us held back in the ground and the Weds fans on the pitch taunting us. The belief with us was that Leicester had won at Shrewsbury, ergo we weren''t up. That game was running late and it took a while before the news slowly filtered through that it was a 0-0 draw. Awesome response from us, so it ain''t over yet. It might be the last round and yes we are behind on points but until we are flat out on the canvas I''m not giving up. The club hasn''t given up and the real fans never gave up. This is what supporting City is about. Watch to see who is with us and who is against us cos if you''ve time to moan now then what the hell are you doing claiming to be a supporter of our club

Not too difficult a job as Bin Finder General I would think. A quick peek at those who seem to get upset at any attack on our third world neighbours would be a starting point Those constantly attacking our club might also be a bit suspect. Not sure how the chap with so many names, our own ''Citizen YGB Rankine'' fits in here either. Cannot spell Malky but has an obsessive knowledge of the comings and goings at poorman road. Also has an almost fanatical need to defend a former scum manager as well. Burn the (dips)Witch !

" MadDan you sound like a 10 year old , get in the real world Worthington is a clown and the only people who want him at Norwich are Ipswich fans . " Not sure where in the above thread I have defended Worthington but what does that matter on this forum. You simply make something up and argue against that. Still good to know that the board, current players, ex players and the majority of City fans are binners. Are you from suffolk by any chance - you don''t sound too bright.

Shame Yankee Binner that you don''t remind me of a CIty fan. How convenient that you have been away from Norfolk for over 40 years so there is no need to answer questions about our club. Well maybe there is. I was around Carrow Road then so perhaps you might care to tell me where the half time score boards were located, where the programme sellers stood in KIng Street and what was the regular chant when onfield matters turned sour. Or maybe where the disabled cars parked up. Might be if you can''t tell us about those matters perhaps you could inform us as to who these mysterious investors are or if failing all that you might wish to tell us why all your posts are against our club.

" should have read, (hughes) had a wet dream about displacing Flem as captain and then lifting the play off winners cup. Unfortunately the Mrs woke him up as his continuous clapping was waking the kids up, but thankfully the Mrs had been borrowing the Phantom of the opera face mask from earlier in the season and no injuries sustained " Just goes to show that comedy is not the easy art it looks.

Oh dear, rather blown my cover there Meeky. I''m supposed to be a binner. Something put out by the scum fans on here who masquarade as Canaries. You would be Peter Meek if I remember well. (Thursford way I think) Started just after ''Niloc'' took over I should imagine. Remember going up on Bammants minibuses some night games. Once hitched up to one game in my school uniform and got hauled over by Cardew a couple of days later for bringing disgrace on the school. No grief about a 13 year old walking back from Bintree after midnight though Happy(ish) days. I''ll pm you the binners on here. I''ve been pm''ed by a number of City fans who also know who they are. Not too difficult as all their posts are anti the club in some way. Mostly pompous guff in long winded rambles about how awful the board is, how terrible Worthington is and how they all lack ambition. Not sure about the multiple fantasist Paul who appears here as lord knows who on a daily basis. Given how many of the anti club rabble joined forces with the binners on here over the past couple of months I shouldn''t be surprised if his allegiance was questionable as well. ps ambrose left in February not March, Clapham in January before the administrators with Bent, Le Pen, Sereni as welll leaving. The latter three costing nearly £10m !

You seem to labour under the same delusion as YC. One that confuses ambition with ability. Rather than allow you to rely upon your memory I shall quote what I posted " In this mad hatter world of upside down thought there is a direct correlation between ambition and achievement. No explanation as to why Chelsea''s ambition only rose when Romanovs money appeared. " My comments were about YC''s claim that achievement followed ambition. It doesn''t. Ambition is a desire or a wish. You can have that whatever your circumstances. There is neither an implication or expectation involved. What our club has is a realistic view of what is obtainable within the given circumstances. Linking that to unfounded allegations of tax avoidance and mythical investors suggests that the original poster has a far different agenda to most others on here who are City fans. You may enjoy battling with me, as you put it, I don''t - in any guise that you might appear as. Back in your box binner

You are not very bright are you Paul ? You defended Burley''s lack of success by claiming that he had lost so many of his playing staff. I point out that Royle lost so many of his playing staff yet finished 7th thereby disproving your claim. Which part of that can you not understand ? For someone who claims to have been university educated you do appear to have the inteligence of somebody from suffolk. Why is that ? As to my education - Fakenham Grammar School many moons ago. Gants coaches up to night games or hitching otherwise. Across the pitch at Watford away in ''72, froze my arse off back from the (old) Valley in April that year as the front windows had all been smashed on the coaches travelled up overnight on Mascot coaches to Blackpool the sept before. ''Bernie misbehaving in the Barclay in the mid 70''s, the train incident at Stoke away after the game and marvelling at the enormous milk bottle away at Oxford in the same named cup ''84. I''m City through and through. Just wonder why some posting on here seem to spend all their time attacking City and get very aggrieved when you challenge them. Is that why they feel the need to hide behind multiply names ?

" Dean an opportunity lost to exploit the most talented City striker since Sutton." That''s priceless

" If you want yourself and your posts to be taken seriously I would suggest you don''t start them by going for your trusty "closet binner" comment. " " Ooh get her ". Self appointed arbiter of reasoned debate on the forum. Pompous git. As to the closet binner stuff than that is for me to decide not you. Yankee canary has posted nothing but anti City stuff on this board. Attacks that veer between the virtual libellous to the routine sneering at NCFC. And yes, coincidentally, many of the same arguments appear regularly on twtd under the name Illinois blue. Regarding the Chelsea stuff I doubt many others (other than CY) share your belief that it was ambition rather than money that put Chelsea where they are now. As to what they achieved, well third place is no great shakes as we did that. Maybe while you are lecturing a City fan on how to post on his own board you check your memory " I also remember Chelsea reaching the Champions league semi-final .......... before Abramovich turned up. " It was after he turned up. He bought out Chelsea in early July 2003 wiping out the £80m debt they had incurred in a the previous seasons. Perhaps, given that you seem to write in the same style, you could ask CY who was being refered to when he posted "There were certainly interested parties knocking on the door." I would be curious to know.
