A set of minutes are on the official site, but they are difficult to follow and contain serious (grammatical) errors. https://www.canaries.co.uk/club/search/supporters-panel-meeting-16-09-2021 Did members of the Panel get a copy for approval?

City have chopped & changed. Chase used to declare tickets sold Then the club changed to Bums on Seats Then the club gave a tickets sold number but with a % of bums figure * Now we are back (along with everyone else, I think) to the tickets sold figure * In 06/07 the midweek match v gold scum had a declared gate of 23,311 but only 85% in attendance. That means fewer than 20k turned up

They do a Leeds one, but not Real Madrid

🤷‍♂️ It felt like being in Boots and someone asking "Where is the nearest chemist?"!!

Some site called the Pink Un has covered this https://www.pinkun.com/sport/norwich-city/ncfc-midfielder-drops-out-of-norway-squad-8382918 https://www.pinkun.com/sport/norwich-city/ncfc-call-ups-continue-ahead-of-international-break-8378724

Here is my "guessing" Liverpool's new Main Stand (added 8,500 seats) cost £ 110m and their Anfield Road Stand expansion (add 7,000) seats is being projected at £ 80m. Both these are of the Up-and-Over build that would be best for City. Yes, a full rebuild would be cheaper but then what do you do with the 4,000 displaced ST holders? I don't think that twenty year-old building costs are very relevant.

So how much do you think it will cost?

West Ham fill their (awful) ground due to low-cost pricing (£99 for an U16 ST), and in 2018/19 their income per seat was only around £20. Increasing the Carrow Road capacity by 7,000 would cost around £40-50m and would take well over a decade to begin paying for itself. It might be nice to have a bigger CR but the cost (and disruption) do not justify the risk.

If this method produces high value chances then, by definition, it must be difficult to defend against. I have seen very little praise for Manchester's exceptionally talented players executing something they have been drilling for three years, but lots of criticism for Norwich's less-talented players defending something they have probably only worked on for a couple of weeks.

McNally must have left a template LBA kicking around somehere. Make a few updates & fire one off! Kerching

"worth up to £1m" I wonder how many of the add-ons were triggered by his 13-minute Norwich career? Falkirk's previous club record was £460k. The minutae is irrelevant. Transfermkt is the Wikipedia for football but no evidence or sources are required for the info they publish.

From EDP "The Dutch midfielder was the last big statement of intent from Alex Neil, in the January 2017 transfer window. Neil limped on for another two months but Wildschut to this stage hardly looks a lasting legacy to cherish - albeit the headline sums bandied around when he arrived from Wigan on that particular deadline day are well wide of the mark." "By his own admission, Wildschut never delivered the quality City fans were expecting after his £4million move to Carrow Road. Although the deal was reported at being worth £7m, that figure included add-ons that were never activated."

That site cannot be relied upon. I mean, did we really pay over £1.1m for Conor McGrandles? And over £7m for Wildschut? There is no accurate source for calculating total fees, paid or received. It is all guesswork.

That is quite a small sample size: 20 in year 1992/3 and a maximum of 3 every season afterwards. It presumably excludes clubs in their second (or third or fourth etc etc) seasons

I disagree. And Raptor says "There would've still been some available to season ticket holders on Monday when I looked Sunday... " If tickets were still available on Sunday (15th) then ALL Away Groups had been given the opportunity.

There is the likelihood that if we took the full allocation then Norwich would have been liable for any Unsold tickets. So that's anything up to £45,000 The last two visits to Man C saw 1,323 and 1,406 away fans, respectively. The following groups were able to purchase tickets, before selling out: Match Picks, Groups 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and ST holders.

Ref: Communications, another example, if you need it The queues at turnstiles on Sat were terrible, and many missed kick-off. If, as is suggested, the card readers at turnstiles were upgraded and cards now need to be 'presented against' rather than 'inserted into', why didn't the club pass this information on to fans? If you want to discuss how long (or short) your turnstile q was on Sat PLEASE CREATE ANOTHER THREAD! This Qs for OSP thread is already 3 pages long and is being diluted by exchanges that offer little (or nothing) to its original purpose. 🙂

Let us not forget that, of course, the Barclay was a very early type of Naming deal - that is, Captain Evelyn Barclay paid to put a roof on the "railway end" and it has borne his name ever since.

Shocking lack of accuracy here, from the club. Actually 186 apps, 20 goals. There have also been a number of simple errors in match reports this pre-season. Keepy-uppy instas are lovely, but if you can't get the basics right then the Hd of Comms really should be having a quiet word.

The Big Clubs are itching for more of the pie. They have already gained a bigger share of the overseas PL income, Project Big Picture included club-sold PPV for 2 or 3 games per season, and the ESL is just the next step in getting what they want.

It would be a disaster for Norwich if a club-led PPV deal ever took over from Sky. Sky currently pay each PL club £2.6m per week for TV rights, so you would need 130,000 City fans paying a tenner every week to match that. If only (!) 30,000 City fans paid for PPV then our annual [TV] income would shrink from £100m to less than £12m

Yes, but be honest, in the USA there are always a number of games that that are Blacked Out, to protect domestic tv deals (in N Carolina this affects fans of the Nats, Orioles & Braves) Overseas TV rights are almost always easier, simpler & cheaper than domestic.

Thass nuffink. A baseball player in the US retired in 2001 but will receive payments of c. £867,500 every July 1st until 2035 https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/july-1-is-bobby-bonilla-day-why-mets-still-owe-former-all-star-1-19-million-a-year-until-hes-72/

McAlear out on loan for the season, announced today by Pink 'Un & Inverness CT And Freezer writes "The 19-year-old is believed to have 12 months remaining on his Norwich contract". That would make him signing a 3-yr deal when he arrived, which seems logical (no surprise if City don't have a 1-yr option, as with many first contracts)
