  1. Well i don''t speak for them. Plenty of people did try. I can''t afford a season ticket. I foolishly did not have membership (my stupid fault) does not make me less of a fan. My city following last few years has been home for a few cup games and away 2/3 times a season. Past season ticket holder, currently saving for a house, so not a regular at carrow road (it ain''t cheap). Club still in my heart, sorry touch a nerve to be considered not a real fan. Hope you had a great day at wembley!
  2. Not angry i did not get a ticket, happy for season ticket holders to get priority etc. My objection was to being called ''not a real fan''
  3. Yes to both. You do realise tens of thousands missed out?
  4. Yes I tried, I thought of nothing else, but tens of thousands didn''t get tickets a few people offering them on a pink un forum was hardly going to satisfy demand.
  5. So happy for all the fans that got tickets for wembley and hope you all had a great day, it looked amazing to see the sea of yellow and green. Just don''t imply people unlucky enough not to get tickets are not real fans :)
  6. No I did not go, tickets sold out or did you miss that?
  7. Well I know of plenty. The pubs were packed in the city on Saturday. There were huge queues of people turned away from Carrow Road and thousands more stuck in queue''s on the Wednesday who did not get through. But obviously because all your mates got tickets it wasn''t an issue!
  8. Excellent response, definitely convinced me :)
  9. [quote user="morty"]Its simply down to logistics, players need to have a break before some of them join up with international squads etc.And this isn''t meant to be divisive, but any proper fans should have done their celebrating at Wembley yesterday.There was plenty of tickets to go round.[/quote] Sorry I actually find it pretty offensive to suggest that anybody who was not at wembley were not proper fans!

[quote user="morty"]Its simply down to logistics, players need to have a break before some of them join up with international squads etc.And this isn''t meant to be divisive, but any proper fans should have done their celebrating at Wembley yesterday.There was plenty of tickets to go round.[/quote] No there were not, we sold out all 38,000 - the club said they could have sold 60,000 that means tens of thousands could not get tickets.
  11. I have no problem with people selling tickets for face value, but £300, these people are not fans! Profiteering over the slightly shoddy way the club handled the ticket allocation!
  12. The other point to be made is the other 14,000 seats at Wembley not allocated to either side. Where do they go? Corporate? An extra few thousand might make all the difference. I think the system is reasonably fair, but there are minorities that are being harshly treated, I know more than a few than don''t bother with Carrow Rd, but regularly attend away games. Well that was me up until I started saving for a house deposit and now its just a couple of Carrow Rd trips a year. I will definitely be getting priority membership for next season.
  13. Yeah that''s good advice I will contact the club. The moral of the story is - get a priority membership sorted at the start of the season :)
  14. [quote user="nutty nigel"]Surely you have a customer number from the league one season?[/quote] I have been to games this season, I have a customer number, but not priority membership
  15. [quote user="Mr Angry"]That really does not make sense-Season Ticket holders and Members are guaranteed a ticket if they buy before 5 pm on Wednesday-then the remaining ones go on sale at 6 pm-but to Season Ticket holders and Members only again? If that was the case, then why bother having the 5 pm deadline?[/quote] No, it does not make much sense to me either! I have a mate who follows city up and down the country away from home, but has not set foot in carrow road for years, presumably he won''t be able to get a ticket? Very strange.
  16. [quote user="lake district canary"][quote user="In Dubious Battle "]I would be massively grateful if anybody can answer a couple of questions..... 1. The general sale tickets on Wednesday, are they for absolutely anybody or are they extra tickets for season ticket holders and priority members? 2. If they are extras for season and priority, when will tickets be on sale for everyone else? 3. Given that I am not a season ticket holder of priority member do people think I stand much of a chance getting tickets? Thanks[/quote]1. For anybody2. N/A3. Who knows, but you can check what seats are left by clicking here (if it works, if not just check the Canaries.co.uk, Wembley Ticket page) [/quote] Thanks, that''s a massive relief!
  17. I had season tickets in the late 90s / early 00''s when we were rubbish and I went to 10 away games in the league 1 season, its the last 3 or 4 years that I have stopped going to many games. I must be some sort of reverse plastic :)
  18. [quote user="francis"]They don''t like us here mate. They think we cheated at Carrow Road.[/quote] I don''t think you cheated at Carrow Road, you did cheat. However it''s not something I hold personally against all boro fans, just a few of your players.

  20. Last sentence....... http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/jun/05/alex-oxlade-chamberlain-injury-england-world-cup Surely not?
  21. If you are reading anything written in the Sun as fact then I am sorry you are lost and there is nothing any of us can do to help you! Good luck chump coz you is gonna fuckin need it!!!!!
  22. Don''t post all that often as normally others are basically saying what I am thinking, but really suprised after Derbys defeat today there are not more people advocating Chris Martin as our Number 1 transfer target - we need somebody who will score us 20+ goals next season and who better?
  23. anyone live near Carrow Road? Go and see if there is even any scaffolding
  24. [quote user="Norfolk Mustard"][quote user="Kingston Yellow"]Mustard - how can you call Malky a ''yes man?'' He clearly went into bat for his players against Tan last season during the dispute over player bonuses. That was one of the main reasons his relationship with Tan deteriorated. Hardly the actions of a yes man.[/quote] I sense MM behaves rather differently around CR and with Delia in particular. He pushed the boat out at Cardiff, got wrong with Vincent Tan and has undoubtedly learned from his experience. MM comes across as not wholly comfortable in his own skin; bit like he''s roleplaying as opposed to doing it for real. That''s why I think he''d be over-agreeable with DM to secure the job but he''s unlikely to cause rapid success at NCFC... [/quote] What are you basing any of this on? That you have a sense? Do you know Malky Mackay? Have you ever met the man? Appointing Malky Mackay is the biggest no brainer in the history of us appointing managers, if the board appoint anybody else they should be shot!!!
