Cantley

It''s quite extraordinary. Just about every single thread is spewing vitriol at the club in one way or another. Are you all binners in disguise?

[quote user="LinkNR9"] Cantley - If all you can do is appear on this Board once in a while to take a cheap shot at posters with whom you disagree, please don''t bother. "If you''ve got nothing worthwhile to say, don''t say anything". [/quote] And you are the arbiter of all that''s worthwhile, are you?

Oh boy - First Wizard is off again. Nurse, the screens!

[quote user="Citizen Journalist Foghorn"] she would have kept Brian Hamilton - nuff said.....   work effic hoof hoof happy with 2 nil defeats..  unambitious norwich with an unambitious manager. If we go 1 nil down to wolves lets see how the crowd reacts.....  unfortunatly fickle notrwich fans are gonna be doing this next season too cos it aint gonna get any better [/quote]   I bet you wear a baseball cap.  

Foghorn wrote "However Delia''s position is fine"   This is not a tenable position. Delia is a decent, open and honest person, and a true City fan, qualities which inform the whole culture of the club. I like that, I trust her, and trust is hard to find anywhere these days. She also wears her heart on her sleeve, likes a little drinkie-poo, and errs on the side of loyalty. I''ll settle for all this as well. You have to take the whole package. But she''s clearly also a very sensitive person, and to bring such venom to bear on the Worthy debate is bound to make her more likely to feel that she doesn''t need all this grief. You may like the idea of a Serbian businessman taking over the club, but it doesn''t appeal to me.  

  It''s so sad how a few spiteful individuals have poisoned this board with their negativity and bile over Nigel Worthington. They seem to see it as a virtue to maintain their vendetta whether we win or lose, and one can imagine even if we''re successful next season they will continue to carp and snipe because they''re incapable of drawing a line and moving on. I think it has to do with emotional maturity. Maybe it''s in the nature of message boards that the miserable old gits come to dominate over time. It''s a medium which allows the obsessive to peddle their obsession ad nauseam and, with a bit of luck, provoke a reaction as well. It''s also happened on the EDP message board, which I now find too depressing to visit more than once in a while. May I suggest that those who still support Delia write and tell her so. She''s quite simply the best thing to happen to this club since Geoffrey Watling and Arthur South, but she''s clearly a sensitive person who must be beginning to wonder why she bothers. On the Ball City.

[quote user="ZippersLeftFoot"] it was the spill over from a heavy drinken night where it started and simply carried on to the terrace on match day. [/quote] Earnie does seem to like living dangerously. I agree with Alan Brazil that one day he''s going to do himself a right mischief doing that goal celebration, and now he''s risking a Fatwah. Maybe Worthy should have a quiet word with him.

See my thread below re: self flagellation..

On reflection, does he really want to upset the Moslems? What if they say he''s mocking their deeply held beliefs? What does Mr Safri think? (not that he''s a Shiite of course...)

..that Earnie''s going to do with the Cardiff fans tomorrow. What''s that all about? Is it the same thing those Shiites do when they''re not lacerating their backs with those little whips? If so, how on earth did that get to be a tradition at Ninian Park? Thinking about it though, the Worthy-Outers have taken self flagellation to new levels of inventiveness...

It''s not healthy to nurse hatred like this, Wizard. Especially for a man in your condition. And especially over such a trivial issue. Mellow out.

Looks like you Faint Hearts really are a small minority!

Thanks Branston - at least I know now!

Yes, but where ?? I''ve looked on the club site and can''t see anything.

In an earlier thread some people were making a distinction between the official attendance at a match, as quoted in the Pinkun match reports, and the actual attendance, ie ticket holders who don''t turn up on the day. Where can you find these actual attendance figures?

Little bit of trivia. I went to that game with a Russian girl and a man from the KGB. Don''t ask, it''s a long story. Happy days.

[quote user="Cantley"] [quote user="Newboro Canary"]Cardiff 23,838 89% Burnley 25,204 89% Brighton 24,038 86% The first figure is the amount of tickets sold and the percentage figure is the amound of attendees as a percent of the tickets sold. So attendance for these games were:- Cardiff - 21,215 Burnley - 22,431 Brighton - 20,672[/quote] Where do you get these figures for ''actual'' attendance? [/quote] I think my post might have got lost in all the Leeds Utd stuff, so here goes again: Where do these figures for ''actual'' attendance come from?

[quote user="LinkNR9"] I am still convinced that, for the good of the team / Club in the long run, Worthington should be replaced. However, fair play to him for spot-on tactics today and congratulations to the team for what sounded like a very good performance.  Well done to both. [/quote] Congratulations, you are now fully proficient in doublethink. This should help you a lot over the next few weeks.

1st Wizard, you are an Ipswich Town troll and I claim my £5.

[quote user="ROSSI 46"] cardiff, nov 1st 89% burnley, dec 28th 89% brighton feb 14th 86% [/quote] I''m not sure whether this is intended to be a reply to my post, or whether you''re just blurting out some random numbers. According to the Pinkun attendances at the three fixtures you quote were as follows: Cardiff   23,838 Burnley  25,204 Brighton 24,038 These represent, respectively, 93%, 98% and 94% of last season''s record attendance against Manchester United.  

[quote user="1st Wizard"] There have been a few posts on here from people worried that Delia will ''sod off'' if we carry on with the ''Worthy Out demo''s. ..in my opinion she''s become a major embarressment to the club!. [/quote] I thought you had "sodded off" in a "strop", Wizard. But evidently you''re back. And you clearly don''t appreciate the irony of calling someone else a "major embarrassment". Would you really want a foreign billionaire to start chucking money at this club? Success bought that way is hollow, usually transient, and not worth a light. If I won the lottery and started parading up and down your street in a big white stretch limo, would you think any the more of me? Chelsea are nothing more than the Michael Carroll of football clubs.

[quote user="baldyboy"]is in the now dwindling attendances. i dont for one minute think we will sell out every game with the current situation at carrow road. it shows when the turn out for saturday was 91% the only lower figure being the northampton cup game. if things continue i think the figure could drop to the mid 80''s or even less, then maybe the directors will take notice as receipts fall and wish they had listened instead of calling some genuine fans thugs![/quote] 91% of what? The highest attendance at Carrow Road since the new infill was completed is 25,522 against Manchester Utd last season. The attendance against Stoke was 94.9% of the Man Utd crowd. Think about it. After all we''ve been through this season, and we''re still getting 95% of our all-time record gate. And that after most people have given up any hope of achieving anything this year. You may hope that crowds will drop to 85%, but I don''t see any indication of that happening yet.
