  1. Very poor from Yeovil. To only decide to gift the free goal 15mins after the incident and only after they had scored another to take the lead makes it embarrassing.
  2. Will be on canaries player later today according to offy tweet
  3. Nothing wrong with gambling to an extent. Addiction is bad, gambling with money you won''t miss if you lose to add excitement to an event has nothing wrong with it providing you can accept the loss
  4. Does anyone know from last season or before if friendly games are shown in full live on canaries player?
  5. Who is "Houghton"? And If we play 2 up today, will you come back to this thread? :S
  6. [quote user="CJ"]Just because betting odds get lower does not mean will happen remeber getting really excited about Rhodes and look what happened there , even though was evens on to join us at one stage!Having said that would be amazed if Becchio did not join us now as he is from our feeder club! What is more interesting is Hoopers odds of signing for us have come down dramatically today and we are now favorites to sign him. [/quote]Evens is slightly different to 1/10....Hes gone to 1/10 because some numpties have lumped big money on him and now the bookmakers are running scared. These numpties either are exactly that, or know something we dont. Only time will tell. Being evens to join a club means that it is only 50/50 for him to join.... Placing Becchio at 1/10 to join us now is the bookies saying we think it is 90% likely to happen however we have no logical ground for this other than a couple of big bets.
  7. Shutting off a block is pretty standard in the past when ticket sales haven''t been as quick as would liked! It''s just a precaution in case the game doesn''t sell out so all the empty seats are in one place = reduced stewarding etc.
  8. Right, we are season ticket holders going to the game but have friends that want to come too... We don''t know whether it''s worth waiting until Tuesdays sale to st holders and members to book them as don''t know how big a gamble this will be... Would you say they are going to sell quick enough to justify booking our st seats and getting them seats elsewhere if we can on Tuesday or am i completely over expecting how fast they will sell?.... No case studies to compare this too other than Dagenham last decade and the economy was very different back then! Thoughts? Someone else surely in same situation?
  9. [quote user="canarycat"]I''m still looking for 2 tickets for posh. If anyone''s got 2 can you let me know. I''ve true ringing up but I''ve somehow missed the tickets the club have sold without any advertisement. Can anyone help me out?[/quote]Wouldnt normally post in these threads but I feel something has to be said here (Hey, at least youre getting a bump!)Dont slate the club, they were advertised just as much as they normally are. The fact they sold out so quick and you failed to keep an eye on the ticket information page on the website is not their fault. They were advertised perfectly well.One quick glance at the Ticket Information page 2-3 times a week is ample to spot all ticket details with time to spare
  10. [quote user="Mr.Carrow"]With respect, whether it is viable or an issue (which it very clearly is...), isn`t really the point i`m getting at. I just don`t understand why people would vote to prevent other people from watching a game in the way they prefer just because they don`t want to.  Yorkshire, i was kind of expecting a few responses like that and i do understand where you are coming from. However, it has been proven on the continent that standing areas can be as safe,maybe safer, than seats so i really don`t think bad memories of unsafe terraces have much relevance. The roads used to be much more dangerous but they didn`t ban cars, they just brought in measures to make them safer. [/quote]I am a ST Holder and dont mind the idea of standing, HOWEVER if I was a casual, and I liked a seat then I would vote no on the basis that instead of having to try and get 1 of the 3,500 casual tickets that Norwich tend to have available for home games, I would now only be able to target say 2,500 as some casual seats will have been removed, thus lowering my chances of being able to see a game.Its quite logical tbf for a casual that likes to sit
  11. [quote user="nutty nigel"]I think it''s a load of old pony. It doesn''t even bear scrutiny. But lets take the last 6 games one game at a time. Last night Morison was injured so we couldn''t load the team with strikers after we went behind but before we went behind we were just as likely to score as they were. Swansea we won. Sunderland we won. Southampton there were three substitutions in the last 10 minutes to close the game at 1-1. Everton we ended the game with three strikers on the field because we were behind and ended up winning a point. Manchester United we won.     [/quote]I agree with what you are saying Nutty, but just because we won them doesnt mean we deserve to win them! Sunderland without a shadow of a doubt we did not deserve to win. Was crying out for a change and he just wouldnt make one. If it wasnt for 5-6 off the line clearences then it would have been a different story
  12. Got to love it when people who disagree with someones opinion have to resort to keyboard abuse because they cant think of anything more constructive to say. (Points at first post as quote wont work and laughs)I am fully behind Hughton and happy to have him here but if we cant offer constructive critisism on a FORUM which was DESIGNED for opinions, then we may as well all bugger off!To those of you who replied sensibly, thanks for your opinions, I may be over reacting slightly, I mean I am basing my hypothesis on just 3 games! Hopefully we will go thump Wigan 3-0 with 3 subs before the 65th minute to make us all happy! :D
  13. Im very worried that Chris Hughton just does not know how to change a game... We have a cracking Plan A. Its brilliant, and when it works we are flying, but we dont seem to have any sort of back up plan. I have no faith that Hughton can make a match changing substitution, if he makes a sub at all...Look at the last 3 games and be honest. We deserved to lose against Sunderland the way we approached the 2nd half and you can comfortably argue the way we sat back and he refused to make a change when it was begging for a tactical switch, 90% of the time we go on to lose that game...Swansea again... We didnt deserve 3pts there, we sat back virtually the entire 2nd half and struggled to defend a 3-0 lead. Yes it was away from home, but 3-0... We shouldnt be deep in our half the entire half, again refusing to make a substitution when it was crying out for a Jackson to give us legs upfront, and Swansea more than deserved a pointLast night was the 3rd game in a row we deserved nothing out of and finally it happened. Game was AGAIN crying out for a substitution. A villa goal from their slowly increasing pressure became more and more innevitable and we couldnt get lucky a 3rd time.Dont get me wrong, I dont think we will be pulled back into a scrap. What I do think is that this little unbeaten run we are on is only pulling the cotton wool over everyones eyes and Hughtons substitutions are getting overlooked because of it. He refuses to make substitutions to try and change games when they are severely going against us.I like Hughton, but if this doesnt change we will throw away many more points this season
  14. [quote user="jas the barclay king"]Swanseas goalkeeper was worse... beaten at his near post from Bassongs header (he shouldve have been better positioned)and the free kick went in the side he was standing, again poor positioning[/quote]Its the goalkeepers first responsibility to guard the far post... The wall is there for the near! His positioning was fine for the FK. If a FK goes right in the near corner over the wall, very few keepers get there. If it goes in the far post, then its all on him
  15. [quote user="Norfolk Mustard"]How were ST holders supposed to apply? Been checking website daily & not seen anything re: availability for WHU. My youngest has been asking over & over to go to this one!   PS: The Canaries website is a bit messy if you ask me... [/quote]You just go on ticket information and look at details. General Sale is next week, but you will have to be relatively quick I reckon!Yes, the site is abysmal IMO
  16. [quote user="yoda"]Home season ticket holders probably spend less than most over the course of a season[/quote]Most be a typo... For your statement to be true, you would have to find 21,000 non season ticket holders that spend over £400 in a season... good luck!Also, im not moaning as I have tickets and I do not have many gripes with the procedure however to say everyone had a chance as some posters have is ignorant. What if you went on Holiday last Friday until today? Not unreasonable at all and assuming most go on holiday to relax and not check ticket news everyday, anyone that did this would come back to find them sold out!
  17. [quote user="lake district canary"][quote user="NCFCRulz"] but why should someone who has been to 0 games in the last year have the same chance of getting x tickets as someone who has been to 20-25?[/quote] This is a non argument     Think about it.     If you had been to 0 games this season, why on earth would you choose Peterborough away to be your first match?     Only those who are keen supporters are going to want to go to Peterborough.    As has been said, there was ample time for people to get it together to get a ticket - if they were that keen.  Some will miss out - they always will for away games - we can''t all go to away games.     [/quote]We could debate it all day, and I respect your opinions, however I reckon that there would almost certainly be at least double figures of people who make this game 1 of the season. What about those who live in P''boro that are just a casual?
  18. [quote user="Barclay hero"][quote user="NCFCRulz"][quote user="Barclay hero"] Personally I disagree.  About time ST holders got up off their fat backsides and queued up like the rest of us Theres 22000 ST holders.  Id suggest that theres more than double that number that support Norwich across the globe.  That makes ST holders a minority   Live with it Mungo, Live with it [:D] [/quote]Labelling all ST holders as fat? :SAnd the fact that they are a minority is not reasonable justification for not giving them priority! If anything, its the opposite![/quote] Im sure there are several STs who are fat.  Im fat.  Although I do fit on a single seat.....Ive seen several people at CR and elsewhere over the years that probably dont.  And some of those might be ST holders! As others say in this post the ST is there to guarantee you a HOME ticket, not away.  However I do like your previous post, well thought out [/quote]I completely agree that a ST gets you home tickets, not away, and I also agree that someone who has attended 0 Home Games and 10 Away Games should get priority over someone who has attended 20 Home Games and 0 Away GamesHowever, with the App process, they do get that priority! And in all honesty I feel it should be lower. Someone who has H/A 0/5 should get priority over H/A 20/0 imo
  19. [quote user="Barclay hero"][quote user="NCFCRulz"]In all honesty, the written application form is ridiculous as it is. Well outdated, and I cant believe it hasnt been available to fill in electronically already. Keep the written apps there for those still in the stone age without internet (I jest) but the vast majority would fill in online with some auto system NCFCs end to auto fill in the data.However yes, why shouldn''t season ticket holders get priority over general sale? Especially on a game which is going to sell out quick. Yes, you can argue that people from far away cant get to every game, and thats fair enough, but why should someone who has been to 0 games in the last year have the same chance of getting x tickets as someone who has been to 20-25?I do agree that Members with 5 away stubbs or 10 stubbs total should be same group at ST holders, not needing 10 away stubbs as this is too much IMOAs for the groups, well we know from McNallys tweets that they are looking to change that next season.[/quote] Good post.  That gives distance fans a chance to go higher up the lists and is probably one of the best thoughts Ive seen for balance on this subject [/quote]Thanks! Long time lurker, signed up in 2006 but have less than 100 posts! Use other forums plenty (2+2 etc) I guess i''ve always kept my NCFC opinions to myself! Going to try to post more!

  22. [quote user="JayRs"]Anyone interested at small discount, £32 each? Can send back to club for full refund, and will do that if don''t hear from anyone today. Send me PM if interested. OTBC   [/quote]Not to piss on your parade, but the club no longer accept refunds on away tickets :(
  23. Anyone know when it is? Im usually pretty clued up on things like this but the offy cup site is reporting Wednesday Afternoon (Like 2nd Round Draw), however our offy programme for QPR game and last nights both say the draw is Thursday following Northampton game...Anyone can confirm which? Google sucks for this!On side note, more League One sides than Championship left it and a decent chance of another easy tie...
  24. Fulham finally just emailed back: Guess if you risk it and are succesful, the only way out is to sell on! Anyone do this last season?Hi Robert.   Thank you for your email.   I’m afraid that our match tickets are non refundable.
