Yorkshire Canary

I know because i often go there having relatives in the city. Over the years i have watched games there in various divisions including the conference. Holds 12 000, still has a wooden stand, still standing for spectators, crowds of @ 5 000, this will be  typical [ apart from the distance] of many away games next season. At some of these  grounds it is possible that Norwich supporters may be in the majority!

I can well  believe that seson tickets are 14 000 plus. i did mine acouple of weeks ago and was told that 11 000 had gone. It may be difficult to add more than another 2 or 3000 to these levels though. If we get off to a decent start people will flock back i am confident of that but the question is IF we get off to a good start

Everyone has their own way of dealing with this painful situation. having bought a season ticket at no small cost and also for next season i am not inclined not to go and waste it. I will  offer my support to the team,albeit the situation is becoming increasingly hopeless. i would support an organised campaign against the board if one gets off the ground though

An interesting theme to consider. Does anyone know what the  typical league 1 player wage bills are? If we go down and have amass clearout it will give us the opportunity to buy lowere league players and youngsrsters on a fraction of the wage of our team of over paid underperformers. On a serious note we pay £8.8 million a season. I would guess that the  typical league 1 outfil pays a third or less of that figure

Not so much doom and gloom.Season ticket sales will be down in value and numbers but with so many of our fat over paid underperforming stars and hangers on walking or being pushed it could be that the wage bill of £8m could beslashed possibly to half. Out of interses i wonder what the typical league 1 wage bill is?

I am adjusting to the prospect of league 1, not certain i know but probably. the point about the board is that regardless of if they find a buyer i think they will be "hounded out". I do not particularly advocate this but i just think recent events will bring this to a head. I remember Chase and the  Chase out days and to be honest he had more vision and and idea as to how to run afootball club than this bunch of clowns. He is history i know but really only got things badly wrong the one season we got relegated this lot by and large have made a habbit of it. They cannot even be complimented for the  worthington years as he picked himself after afew successful games in temporary charge

The board has been losing credibility for years but i sense things have at long last come to a head. The Grant and Roader appointments really put pressure on the Board and the replacement of Roader was i think their last chance to save their skins and their cash. They havemade abad decision, a calculated gamble but one that has failed. When it is certain ather than probable that we will  go down then i do expect the atmosphere to get very unpleasant at Carrow Road. The fans will not turn on poor old Gunny who has been sadley a naive pawn in this tragic game but the vast majority of fans will want all of this incompetent Board out  and we will see a retun to the " Chase Out Days" As aclub we cannot move forward until this group of bafoons make way for someone else even if this means administration andstarting again from scratch. Delia is a fan but her part in this tragedy will make her a very unwelcome individual at future games and events soon and she will disappear from the scene. She has surrounded herself with well paid bafoons too and all the  Board must be swept away. After the shock comes the Anger and it is buliding up now

I think a lot will depend upon the support of the fan base. If it sticks together then over time we will bounce back i am confident of that, but a lot needs to change at this club and sadlley relegation may bring alot of these issues to boiling point in the short term. The Board is totally discredited now

To be honest regardless of wich divisionwe find ourselves  do not think any good comes of relegation and we may be shocked as to how long it takes us to recover.Not that many years since we played Oxford in the championship, now non league with Luton! having said that it is not  as though we have any choice inthematter,we must be 70% certain togo down now it is just acase of making the best of a bad job and anything could happen. We need to slash the wage bill by half and also get rid of the countless back room satff and hangers on

From the  time that  we got prompted  to the  Premiership the wheels  have started to come off. Releasing good  squad players,buying crap, picking crap managers time and time again and wasting cash in the process. I put this all down to the board they have been naive and indecisive and just crap at making decisions. They all  should clear off and run a bank ! They have done a worse job with us than Peter Risdale did at Leeds!

It is probable that Leeds will  still be in league 1 plus the 3 relegated clubs from the championship. What are the views on how the 3 relegated clubs may fare in league 1. It is looking probable that despite Southampton win it will be as  you were with the bottom 3 going down. Southampton have blooded their youngsters this year and i think that will put them ahead of the game next season with leeds. Norwich and Charlton are  both in a tail spin and their  squads will probably fall to peices following relegation, at best we  may have to hope for play offs

Perhaps of more interest is how the 3 relegated clubs may fare next season

I have said many times this club wastesshedloads of cash not least in extravagent wages for ordinary players. If we go down iwill have my 15% back thanks and put it towards the next years tickets

No and i never do. For the  record i do not think he looked that great especially against apoor Norwich outfit

He still could do a job with the youngsters in league 1 as we start to prepare for the future

As i drove home from the game last night dejected as was everyone else as usual i put on canary call. i was really sad to hear the interview of a great guy and club legend. He did not really know what to say and sounded shell shocked.It reminded me of the latter days of Peter Grant.Gunns appointment was always going to be spectacular either as a success or failure.We hoped for the former but reality is that it will be the latter.He may even be gone before the end of the season as at this rate we may incredidably be relegated with the  or four games to go.I am getting my head around next season now after renewing my tickets.It does frighten me alittle and i go now more out of habit rather than fun as i can count on the fingers of one hand how many games i have enjoyed over the last couple of seasons. There again relegation could see the green shoots of recovery, hope is everything

I was optimistic prior to the Coventry game but not now we need snookers

If we go down then alot of our current regulars will go,Croft,Marshall,Clingan,Russell and maybee acouple of others. They will bring in some cash which if invested wisely will put us in agood position to come up. I think Cureton will stay and in league 1 will score a hatful if played alongside Corte.I also thing that playing many of our youngsters will happen and be a blessing in disguise. It is also possible that MacDonald could be  a big hit too

I remember his debut.I thought what afunny looking  little guy and he popped up and scored 2 against Birmingham in front of a crowd of less than 10 000 if memory serves me right!

[quote user="Dan-NCFC"]Everyone, seriously, stop being so negative!! There''s still 12 games to go for crying out loud. You all keep saying the same stuff and it''s quite frankly getting boring. I would absolutely hate for us to go down, but we gotta keep shouting and supporting for the team we all love. Just get behind the team, and whatever happens, we''ll all get through it! ON THE BALL CITY![/quote]     I agree 100% lets all think positive!

I am very optimistic that we will win. We have had some very tough fixtures of late and Coventry look to me to be the easiest for some time.In addition they are still in the cup and have no real relegation worries so that may help us too

we are all stuck with each other,she must be pulling her hair out having thrown shedloads of cash down ahole over the years. Itwill be easier to sell one of our banks rather than NCFC noone with sense will want to put cash in. We need to go back to youth and sound buys from lower leagues,get rid of the army of hangers on and cut this stupid wage bill

The table will twist and turn every week til the end of the season

I remember it well you could hear a pin drop when Bayern scored first at Norwich but the atmosphere was brilliant after Goss equalised, oh the good times

Norrow Norwich win very confident
