BRAVEHEART

Just a message to Norwich fans who regularly travel to away games. Would you travel all the way to Swansea which is a 5 hour and 20 minute journey? Or would you rather stay at home and watch it on the TV. I know the easier option is to stay at home, but then the lads need our full support and if we have a huge following going down to Swansea our support will make a massive difference.

I wonder if it would be possible to get match commentary and listen to the match on the radio, because when I am in London I won''t be able to get Radio Norfolk but there might be a Radio station that does the match commentary.

I am really interested in going to the QPR game as well in London on October 16th. Does anyone know how you would find your way from London Liverpool Street and then onto the Hammersmith and City line, this leads to Shepherds Bush Market? I just don''t know where you would go once at Liverpool Street having arrived from Norwich. I want to book a train ticket now really but frustratingly I can''t because there is no guarantee that I will get a ticket for the QPR game, so I have to wait before the tickets go on sale, and once I have my tickets I can then get my train tickets.

Bruce Rioch said: “One of the aspects fans were unhappy with last season was that there were so many loan players but I imagine that was a financial thing because the budget wasn''t there to bring in four or five new players on three-year contracts.I totally agree with Bruce Rioch. In Roeder’s defence – The reason he brought so many loan players in was because I think that he didn’t have enough money, because you only so much money for the player wage budget. You may have £10,000 for a player wage budget, that budget isn’t enough to bring in permanent players. Having said that Roeder shot himself in the foot by getting rid of so many players. He got rid of players like Brellier, Brown, Strihavka, Murray, Shackell, Huckerby, we lost Dublin.

Brick back Paul McVeigh, who is now at Luton. Grant is such an idiot for selling him, bring him back, not only that but Grant got rid of Safri as well which in my opinion was when the writing was on the wall, we lost our creativity when Safri left.

Canarytim, Sorry to bring out that old cliche that, ''''that I have heard from a good source'''', but something  I have heard regarding,  the Colney situation. A well known ex chief scout who still has contact with the club lives next door to my Dad, they are good mates and often talk about City. He told my Dad Delia actually owns Colney and not the football club, I don''t know how it works or all the details, but if the football club was sold Colney is a completely separate and not in the same package as Norwich City, as the land & training facility is actually in Delias name. So my understanding is if the Club went into administration Delia would still own Colney, or if she so wished and wanted to cash in on that very valuable asset she could sell Colney at any time & the Club would not see a penny of it.

Sorry to put a downer on this thread, but afraid there is no way Carrow rd could be considered for a WC  venue in E Anglia, because of the design of the stadium, (thank''s to that carbuncle of a hotel in the way), the very max the stadium could increase to is 36000. the rules say 40000 min capacity. You know how it works the scummers down the road always  come up smelling of roses, they would apply for the venue, if they replace their oldest stand their capacity could rise to 45000. You can see it now them lot Lording it up in a nice big stadium built with some one elses money while we are still scraping about in our 26000 stadium for the next 50 years!.Norwich is a great City with great tadition and should be and deserve to be the Capital of  E Anglia, fit for a WC venue, Ipswich is no where near us in that respect!. Unfortunatly  the football club does not achieve what this City deserves. I feel sick saying it but Ipswich have a club and ambition that do. 9

I was at tonight''s  meeting, some good points made, one negative point why did so many people, have to leave before the meeting was brought to a conclusion?.I put my hand up to make a point but didn''t get the chance, I wanted to ask if Delia & co could be pushed into making a statement on what exactly they are doing to find buyers for the club, & NO not investors as we keep hearing coming from the board.Interesting point one guy made ref  to a interview from Keith Harris, that his mandate was to look for investors not buyers for the club.I think most fans want buyers for the club don''t we?. Clearly Delia is not doing enough on this very important matter. Good observation from Tilly when he said members of  Sheff  Wed went to the U.S looking for buyers of a UK football club!. Delia needs to be made accountable for what they are actually doing and seeking for Norwich City.

Sorry to say it''s going to be same old, same old, Scape goats have been found City fans hood winked again, Lets give Delia & Michael another chance. Poor season in L1, new scape goats again, Delia & Michael get away with it again.Will City fans ever wake up to all this spin!!!.

What is it going to take people, for the majority of City fans., to stop pussy footing around, and go all out with every thing possible to get Smith & Jones to leave this club. Why hasn''t the same effort been used as it was in the Chase out days!We blame previous managers & Doncaster, they were Smith & Jones puppets, & now used as the real culpret''s scape goats. Before anyone comes up with ''''well who have we got to take over if they go''''. That is not the point more pressure has got to be put on Smith & Jones to find someone so they have no choice but to sell their shares.If carrying on unchallenged they will kill Norwich City, we are already a joke in the football World. They have to be shown they can''t stay much longer. So please lets make a real start & effort at the meeting tomorrow. 1

Good point about two options to tackle L1, With this current board with their ambition with prudance policy what road do you think they will choose?. A no brainer!, current board in place lets all get used to L1.

[quote user="the artist formerly known as VIYAG"]What is the difference between a Leeds- who could well remain in L1 yet again- and a Leicester? Truth is that Leicester gambled. They kept on the high earners- added extra staff- spent big- popped in healthy bonuses and went for it. A bit like Brum in the Champ. The other option is to cut your cloth accordingly....shed top earners, bring in young guns, and hope for the best.But in fairness expect to struggle or at least be as good as moany L1 teams if you do. So IMO THAT is where we judge the board. If they make a few juicy signings (esp in midfield) and keep Clingon, Marshal, Croft, Doc then we might jus have a great season... ...if Cody becomes our BIG player we are doomed. Simple as. [/quote]

Got to agree with Wiz there, I watched Leeds v Millwall as well & the standard looked half decent, if any one thinks L1 is going to be much easier than the Championship they are in for a shock,. You could be a team that play good passing football & have success that way. but with the quality of players we are likely to have, I don''t think that will be possible for us!.

Just another thought, as our club is being run as a soap opera at the moment, how about geting the cast of East enders to play the parts !.Queen Delia played by Peggy Mitchell.... If someone disagrees with her and say some thing she does''nt  like she could say : ''GET OUT OF MY CLUB''.Bryan Gunn played by Minty... A real nice guy and full of good intentions, but clueless, always ends up with egg on his face.Doomy played by Dirty Den... Can be charming but a smarmy b****d , always end up shafting every body.Mumbles played by Ian Beale...Got business  ambition but havn''t got a clue how to run one successfully !. (and who would love to see his head flushed down the loo!).Matty Patterson played by Phil Mitchell... Leave that to your imagination.Sorry people probably need to get out more!!!!.
