The Lucky Nine

Thanks to all that responded.  I also attended the reserve game this evening and had a long chat with those that I travel with, all of who would normally only miss 4 or 5 away games a season and all of us are not planning to go to many in the run up to christmas.  Probably the time when the club could most do with our support as we are away from Carrow Road so much!  But we all feel that 19 defeats in 23 away trips is simply unacceptable!  On reflection I think that the only time that our board are going to understand the true level of unhappiness is when the season ticket renewal forms go out in the early part of next year!  I would never want to see the club cash starved, but I wonder if this is the only way that people at the top will realise that we the fans are sick of watching such poor performances from a team that should be giving so much more! Oh, and the reserves lost 3-1 to Crystal Palace, who looked like a team that knew how to attack!

Hi Clare, Funny we should both sign up to this board on the same day!  That is if you are the same Clare who used to travel with the Capital Canaries. I have to agree exactly with what you have said on your post.  I have been thinking long and hard about how we can show the club that we as fans are not happy.  I have never wanted to slag off our board, but after years and years of hard work getting the ground full they are in danger of wreaking all that work in a couple of weeks!  I was at the shareholders meeting and was hoping to see a bit more angst from our fans but it never happened and the board take all the objections far to personally.  Having not missed more than 4 games home and away each season for the last 8 years, I have for the first time in years found myself no longer going away, as what you get is not value for my hard earned money.  Me and many of my friends who have lived and breathed City all our lives (I have been supporting this club for over 20 years now) just can not face going away at the moment and these are the sorts of people that NCFC should be getting very concerned about, as once you get out of the habit of supporting your team, fans many not come back!  Some have called me fickle for my actions, but I was there when we lost 4-0 to Wolves, I was at Stockport when the fuel protests were on and I saw us lose to Preston in the last minute on a cold Tuesday night.  I have done my time watching poor football and I thought we had turned the corner.  NCFC its time to act before serious support is lost!
