[quote user="West_London_Canary"] [quote user="Larry David"]It would never happen. The population isn''t dense enough (well not it is but not in the geographic sense [;)]) and they would point to the face that we''re only 100 miles from London, and with Suffolk and Essex being even closer  you''re basically suggesting is that Norfolk people deserve a World Cup venue which is never, ever gonna happen unless the population triples by 2012..[/quote] If  Derby, Leicester, Bristol, Milton Keynes and Portsmouth can all put theirself forward as petential WC venues then why can''t we? [/quote] Leicester if the biggest city in the East Midlands and Nottingham''s super stadium is unlikely to happen. Many residents are objecting, and it''s 50K, Forest will never ever fill it so plans could be scrapped, 40k would be more realistic. Therefore Leicester has a fantastic chance what with its location, the size of the city and all of the facilities the stadium has to offer, it ticks every box that UEFA are looking for. Bristol, it''s a big city so maybe, Milton Keynes won''t happen.

The bloke is a prat, he''s had three relegations in ten years, what credible manager has that on their CV? If anyone can name one i will be amazed. He is tactically naive, hes a clown, a media whore. When i went to watch Q.P.R v Leicester on new years day 08, a QPR fan came up to me and said "look forward to boring football under Holloway", he was so right and we were losing games as well. He took us in to the thrid tier for the first time ever. I don''t want to see Norwich relegated, i have a soft spot for your club, but this would be a disaster.

Do not wish Holloway upon yourselves. The bloke is a clown, a media-whore.

League one could be a blessing. We thought it was the end of the world when we got relegated, but it has turned out to be the best thing since the Premiership in 2004. A new manager and a new team really gave us a fresh start. And the standard isn''t that bad, its not all long ball, quite a few of the teams nearer the top will beat some Championship sides. Us, MK Dons, Peterborough all play good football, i now look forward to games because i know i am going to see a nice passing approach by us, something i didn''t think would be possible in this league. Obviously, you don''t want your club to get relegated, but if it does happpen, it''s not the end of the world, it can still be enjoyable, financially the club won''t suffer that much, and it will give you a chance to get rid of Roeder. P.S how is Carl Cort doing? And Bell?

Yes they released him, which is why he is a free agent. [:(]

Oh dear, i like Norwich, you didn''t deserve this. He''s abysmal, cant winner a header, work rate is terrible and he really hasn''t scored consistently for years. Not even Marbella, in the 3rd division in Spain, wanted him. Hope you guys stay up this year, thoroughly enjoyed your match on Sunday, but this could be a sign of things to come.

Hope your not found guilty of this, always liked you as a club.

Howard is on 9k a week here.

Came on the forum to see if these was any news on the Howard rumour, and i found this. Laughable. Established premiership striker, far too good for the championship, love the guy, hes a top bloke. So harshly criticised, but at every club hes played for the fans appreciate him, its the fans who just look at his record and think doing step overs make a good player who slate him. At Leicester, he was fantastic, at Liverpool, he scored his fair share of goals, him and Michael Owen were a great partnership and he valued Emiles contribution emmensely. Birmingham, he won player of the year awards, players player, top scorer and at Wigan he is a key player in their side. His hold up play and bringing people into the game is first class, perfect for a big man, little man combo. Yes, his record isn''t brilliant for England, but he was the best we had at the time, saying that he always made a contribution, once again ask Michael Owen, he played in sides that actually managed to qualify the tournaments and let''s not forget he made a comeback for England against Israel last September, he was superb, an unfortunate injury stopped him being named in the next squad. Heskey at his best was unplayable, many Premiership defenders would support this,

I''ve posted my thoughts on him and the rumour in your transfer talk section. Foxile.

JJ, what a player and top bloke. Great memories of that goal. Will be a superb signing, looks like i''ll be heading down to kings lynn for a game or two this season.

Seems Bristol City get more than their share of luck, against us we had 24 attempts on their goal, 14 on target...we drew 0-0.

Money isn''t always the answer - look at my club - Leicester City. We''ve spent a stupid amount and are now leaving an elite group of nine clubs NEVER to play outside of the top two divisions! You wont go down.

Not sure about this, i don''t think is any chance of this happening, we don''t need another managerial change and i''m sure Mandaric feels he has the right man. Although, i wouldn''t completely rule out Roeder considering it if he was offered the chance. More money to spend, he may feel he has less building to do with players like Oakley, Howard, Clemence, Kisnorbo, Hume, you never know, but i wouldn''t worry too much.

Interesting thought - Leicester is not a hole. The main shopping area and leisure area, like the clubs and pubs is very pleasant, it also has a lot of history and a lot to see. It''s no worse than any other of the big cities and i can think of alot of places far worse than Leicester. However, yes, their are some very unpleasant suburbs - name another big city that doesn''t? Norwich isn''t so brilliant - ive been to places like Bowthorpe, Mile Cross, Earlham etc... I am glad i didn''t hear any of the racist chanting or shouts, i spend time in Norwich and i wouldn''t expect it from people who always seemed so friendly. Anyway, how is a city that has an Asian population of 30% a town full ***** or whatever the disgusting terminology is?

[quote user="Graham Humphrey"]Maybe Spillane will get a game?[/quote] Yes i saw it right in front of me, disgusting, Dion was very concerned for his good friend Stearman - two Leicester lads.

[quote user="kettering canary"]A steward told me that the guy with the drum gets a free season ticket, as long as he plays the drum with his shirt off whatever the weather, also he is a really nice bloke who works with children . Now i would not have guesed the by looking at him.[/quote] Yes he is a top man. He doesn''t have to have his shirt off - just decided to start doing it about five years ago. He is a really nice bloke and does alot of work for his part of the community concerning children.

No this isn''t a sarcastic dig, i hope you had a good day out in the our great city (excluding some of the suburbs[:)]) despite the result on the pitch. The atmosphere was good, both sets of fan wern''t amazing but took it in turn to have periods of chanting up until we took a three nil lead. Decent crowd of 26,000, looked pretty much full apart from in the corners. On the whole we deserved to win, Clemence and Oakley bossed the midfield, whilst Hume was creative all game. The front two worked well too, DJ coming back after 3months out has been a big boost and Howard was on form again. We scored four good quality goals in my opinion. I would be interested to here your thoughts on our team and the match. Also is Russell usually a dirty player? The stamp that occured infront of me was quite nasty and Dion was very concerned for Stearman - i know they are good friends off the pitch as Dion took him under his wing as young 17year old in the first team. It was nice to see Dion again, i''m sure he stayed here after the match and didn''t travel home with you guys. P.S  - i have read around and seen there was some crowd trouble? I sit in the Kop so wouldn''t have been able to see anything, but i presume it would have come from Block L1 - not where our most intelligent supporters sit. I apologise. I hope you had a safe journey home.

[quote user="Rupethebear"]Let''s hope we can raise the roof, must be one of their biggest away followings of the season, bet we make more noice than them!![/quote]   To be fair, aways fans are usually the loudest at every stadium in the country. It all depends which Leicester fans turn up tomorrow, it has only just hit some people how much danger we are in so that could spur some fans on.

Let''s hope Ian Holloway will be on his way as well.

Oh, and enjoy your three points next Saturday, we will give it to you on a plate.

[quote user="jammy"]foxile, not being funny but do you find there is a total lack of atmosphere at the walkers? each time i been there it seems really quite. but the yella army will be on top form me is thinking.[/quote]   We have some great days/nights where the atmosphere has been brilliant - but if you saw the game on Sky tonight you would know what has been served up to us over the last 4 years, it''s not much to sing about. The promotion season in the first year was good, probably because we were winning everyweek in front of an average attendance of 31,000. The second season in the premiership was good again, because of full houses every week. After this average attendances have dropped to 26,000, 24,000 etc... year on year. Bring back Filbert Street anyday, but when we''re doing well (like most clubs) there will be a good atmosphere. Your atmosphere was pretty dire under Grant this season, but as things have picked up, my Norwich supporting friends have said it gets better every game - like every side. There is a strong correlation between success on the pitch and armosphere, but currently we are going through our darkest days over the last 3/4 years.
