  1. I reckon'' Dion Dublin would be a good punt. He does the City stuff on ''Late Kick Off'' , quite often sticking it to M*tt Holland - seems to be a genuine fan.
  2. I got my ordinary shares from the initial issue from the club. One perk is free membership (normally £15) every year for life and reduced price of £5(currently) per year for super-membership (normally £20). It''s worth having the free membership for the discount you get at the Canary shop and for ticket allocations. Check with the club ticket office (0844 826 1902) to see if you are entitled too - it may have only been an offer granted at the original issue [8-)]
  3. William Hill have officially stated that they are paying out on QPR regardless, and will also payout for Norwich as champions if QPR are deducted points.   http://news.williamhill.com/a/football/qpr-are-champions/
  4. LondonR wrote "What trophy you plum, you haven''t won one"   Unlike you my friend I aint counting my chickens yet, but if you read my post properly I did say '' If ''. You must remember, we have nothing to lose on tomorrows decision - we can only gain [:D]
  5. I want to win the league. As well as the club getting the silverware, I''d get an additional £280 on top of the money I''ve already won for us being promoted [<:o)]   As an aside point - If QPR do get docked enough points for us to be champions, will they present the trophy at the game on Saturday (or indeed  have it for the parade on Tuesday)?
  6. Todays goal were all shown on Look East if that is any consolation. Will be up on iPlayer later.... http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00wvz64/Look_East_East_28_12_2010/
  7. Plymouth Argyle - hometown. Moved to Norwich when I was a tiddler in 1970/71.
  8. I don''t think it would have been cost effective to put a seated infill in the corner instead of the hotel, because so many of those seats would have to be left vacant to provide the buffer between home and away fans. I think the only real long-term way forward would to be to make additions to the two side stands as others have said. And at the moment we can''t afford it.
  9. Satire or not, surely the point is that we can only sack Mr Lambert if he decides to stay accepts a new contract anyway ? [8
  10. If West Spam drop, do you think they will sell Robert Green? We''d get a nice boost to our own player budget from the sell on clause (if I''m not mistaken)
  11. Do you reckon'' our Suffolk neighbours would have him back if things don''t work out with Keane ??
  12. Still one my favourites..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nt3q8_sxd-o&feature=related
  13. I have to agree with you..... fancy talking up transfers when we don''t want that player to leave, and especially as there has been no previous interest shown! [8o|]
  14. September - Mon 14 MK Dons v Norwich (7.45pm) TBC League One ........... from the same source
  15. In our current position Dion Dublin or Iwan Roberts. Passion, pride, excellent motivationalists and great players.
  16. Could be worth a punt, after all Virgin Money is based in Norwich
  17. In the mid eighties me and my mate were standing at the river end - it was a mid-week cup match against a lower league team. We were playing really badly and the crowd were deadly silent, then all of a sudden someone shouts out across the ground  " Can''t believe I f*cking missed Coronation Street to watch this crap !" I think the whole ground laughed [:D]
  18. With Crook coming in, it could be an Oz or Asian invasion [:O]
  19. Are you the guy who owns the giant electronics firm ????   http://www.waynekerrtest.com/   If you are, how about investing some of your hard earned millions in City .........................
  20. Soon , if the Norwich Unitary Bid goes ahead, the boundaries  are being re-drawn and Lowestoft will come under the control of Norfolk anyway - like it or not !! It will be Yellow ''n Green - resistance is futile  [8o|]   http://www.norfolk.gov.uk/consumption/groups/public/documents/committee_report/norarea240708item5cpdf.pdf http://www.broadland.gov.uk/PDF/draft_unitary_proposals_for_norfolk_and_suffolk_summary.pdf
  21. I just voted Hucks Man Of The Match ................... http://sjearthquakes.mlsnet.com/news/team_news.jsp?ymd=20080803&content_id=177604&vkey=news_sje&fext=.jsp&team=t110 He''s upto 56% of the vote so far !!   [H]
  22. I''ve put £20 each-way on City to win at 40/1 with ladbrokes. £1000 if they win or £200 if they come 2nd or 3rd.    Worth a punt I thought .  
  23. I think this is a ridiculous idea. It''s not like trying to keep your your local lifeboat, or save some local landmark or needy charity. This is Norwich City Football Club - a self-confessed business, run by business people. A few years ago, I answered the ''call'' of the club and contributed to the "Huckerby fund" in exchange for voting shares. In my opion, an excellent deal. Since then, as many of you point out, they have generated large amounts of money through lucrative transfers etc etc. NCFC already get a generous contribution from fans annually via the Norwich & Peterborough savings account. Min of 1% of all money held on balance. By their own admission, they have had £2.4 million pounds in the last ten years this way. (   http://www.canaries.premiumtv.co.uk/page/CanaryConnections/0,,10355~431930,00.html    ) If money is needed specifically for transfers they should do like most other businesses do i.e. cut direct overhead running costs, cut employee (players) wages, raise money through another share issue or seek external investment. We already maximise their cash intake by 23,000 What other business would expect it''s customers (fans) to not only pay for their goods (matchday tickets) but also to hand them extra cash for free to finance the company''s ''growth''? There is, however, a more fundamental problem with all this.... we (as fans or indeed shareholders) are not told what the transfer budget is or where the previous funds raised in transfers has gone. We may not even need (not want - we always want more) any more transfer funds. Is the real problem not that we do not have the money, is it that they refuse to spend the money?
