HI Jed, Could I please grab this one, you posted on my message but wanted to reply to you on here so you get a reply. Could you text me on 07967661757 and I can arrange for my folks in wymondham to pickup / pay. Thanks so much.

Hi Jed, that would be fantastic thank you. My parents live in Wymondham as well so I can ask them to pick it up / pay you. Would you mind texting me on 07967661757 and I can sort it out. Thanks again. made my day!

good call, that may be my last resort. Thanks

I'm a London exile - live in the Greenwich area and wanted to get to this game if possible. Ticket office said there were quite a few tickets left mid last week but then phoned again and they'd all gone. Happy to meet up in London / possibly get my folks in wymondham to pick up a ticker / could meet anyone on the day. Any help appreciated.

Can someone who is well informed settle a little dispute.  After ITV mentioned turnip playing in the record Norwich FA Cup win can anyone confirm he actually played in that game?  Sure, he played and scored in the Port Vale win but can''t find anything that says he played against Sutton.  Much appreciated.       

Being an honourary beancounter I''ve done my duty and gone through accounts, here are my comments: If you''re interested in the real figures (i.e. the ones that have to follow the accounting rules and can therefore be compared to other clubs) ignore the majority of stuff up to page 15 - this is all subjective information and can be presented as the club wish within reason although the overall figures (i.e. total turnover) will agree to the accounts. There are only 2 important pieces of information in these whole accounts to me from which we should be a little worried about the amount of funds available in the future for players:  Page 9 : Last paragraph ''It is important to note that the financial position of the Football club remains stable, however it is imperative that the club has a successful season during 2007/2007 to protect our income streams going forward.  Failure to win promotion at the end of 2007 will reduce our income by a minimum of £7m following the loss of the Premier League parachute payments'' The paragraph then goes on to talk about your point r.e. selling assets. To me this sets the scene for player sales.  No one at the club will be naive enough to assume we will get promoted so we then look at which assets will be sold.  The majority of assets are in land and buidlings (note 13) - then look at note 9c and we read ''....as it is the intention to retain ownership of the revalued land and capital assets for us in the existing business for the foreseeable future''.  So what does that leave to sell?  Well, he''s about 5ft 5 tall, drives a hummer and bangs the goals in. I can''t see what else there is we can sell given the above commitment not to sell any more land or buildings. The other item of worry is the player wage / turnover ratio.  Now I''m sure it''s a balancing act between not cutting salaries so much that the best players leave and cutting salaries to an acceptable level but look at the numbers:  Turnover dropped by 34% and yet player costs only dropped by 16%.  The drop in turnover is entirely contributable to the drop in League and FA funds.  Now the club knew this would happen so why not make salaries drop in comparison in the season after relegation rather than after 2 years after relegation?. There are 2 major, ongoing sources of income and cost that will influence the financial position of this and all other football clubs (ignoring one offs such as player transfers / land sales etc) : Income: Money from the league Cost: Player salary Surely these should be the main considerations for any board of directors?  If the income / cost ratio had been maintained last year our player costs would have been £2m lower.  Also, we have a player bill of £2m more than the promotion season, are we seeing £2m worth of better football out there?  Well, that''s one view of all this.  No doubt other people will either chastise me or have other views but overall I would expect player sales.             

Morrison started off being the best in D1 with Palace, met Livepool in cup tie after saying that he was going to pi** all over Hypia and got found out badly - head got too big again and went to Birmingham with AJohnson going the other way - Brum have obviously regretted this since and was the worst mistake Bruce ever madenever really did it in the prem. He is a better finisher than Leon but he can be disruptive and lazy, not a Worthy player at all, none of this makes sense to me.
