I would like to support my local pub but unfortunately at the moment it is closed!!!!! [:(]

[quote user="Waveney Canary"]The club gave him a record amount to spend in the summer he has translated this into a relegation place The performances this Callander year have equally been as poor When he comes up against anyone who knows the games of football in terms of tactics he comes off second best. Steve Bruce, The Messiah, Jose We have 2 weeks now to get rid of the fool and replace home with someone who can progress the club. Two suggestions an old pair of hands Martin oneil or someone who is doing well with limited means Paul Ince is my other favourite[/quote] River End Upper says a lot about this!

[quote user="ryanncfc"]Did you not notice how much space Howson, Fer and the wingers had at times Yesterday? The only reason they had all this space was because of RVW''s movement causing their defenders and DM to have to check on him and stick to him, meaning there would be 2/3 players around RVW at times, meaning space for the others. A strikers job is more than just putting the ball in the net. [/quote] What he said! [Y]

[quote user="PKC"][quote user="TIL 1010"][quote user="PKC"] Bring on the bostick was far wittier than the ''dig a hole'' chant. I used to pay Pool in the same team as Bernie; we were one of the few teams not to be abused playing away to the Larkman.! As far as I know Bernie lives in Thorpe, he married one of my mate''s sister. [/quote] His surname was Patzelt not Patterson as stated by the OP wasn''t it PKC ? [/quote] Indeed it was TIL.   One of my favourite chants from those days was the one that greeted the stewards in those days, who wore long white coats, of bring on the butchers. [/quote] Oh yes, the good old butchers'' coats.  And do you remember the Tottenhan fans at the League Cup Final in ''73 who were dressed up like Clockwork Orange characters?

LIke NN I well remember Mascot Coach trips to away games - even a trip to Leicester in those days seemed an epic adventure as there were no dual carriageways and no bypasses round Dereham and Swaffham.  Used to regularly stop in Swaffham for chips or a beer on the way home.  My first ever away trip was to leicester in 1969 and all I can remember about that (apart from us losing 3-0) was being ambushed outside the ground by Leicester Skinheads.  They even nicked my mate Paul''s scarf and he ended up having to go to court in Leicester when they apprehended the culprit. Back to Carrow Road, as a kid I always thought that the walk from the station along Riverside Road seemed interminable when I couldn''t wait to get to the ground.  Also remember long queues for cup tickets for the Blackburn Rovers game in ''66 and the Sheff Wednesday game after we''d beaten Man U at Old Trafford.  Always stood in the Barclay apart from about 4 games from 1964-1980.  Only ever sat twice in the old Main Stand, once for our very first game ever in the top flight against Everton and once when I took a young lady to a Man Utd game (not the infamous one in ''77 when I was in the Barclay - such fun!).

Blimey what a host of memories this has dragged up!!! Getting into the ground at about 1.40 just to soak up the build up to the game and make sure of my standing spot three quarters of the way up the centre of the Barclay (just behind good old Lil Kemp and her girls). The old Match of the Week cameras being located on a rickety construction at the River End - particularly remember one awful game (possibly against Bristol City when the crowd was not much more than 10K) when the Barclay decided to re-locate for the second half under the camera position in the River End so that we could sing loads of abusive songs which Anglia TV would have been unable to censor from their highlights....''and do they smell......'' Although clearly remember Bernie, as far as I was concerned he was no more than a lad compared to some of the characters in the late 60''s (e.g. Levi, Sweeney Todd, Mel Ingram & Mick Eley - later met Mel again when he was working at the old N & N Hospital - really nice bloke).  Remember him trying to induce us to chase Sheff United fans all the way up to the Castle after a match. Sitting on the grass bank at the back of the Barclay at half-time; turning up at the Chelsea League Cup Semi-Final match (the fog abandoned one) only to find about 100 Chelsea fans in the middle of the Barclay (no segregation or fences then!!); the old programme/scarf/souvenir hut at the back of the Barclay; the open roof urinals; the bar which didn''t seem to have an age restriction; PC ''Handlebars''!!!  I can also remember what it cost for me to travel by bus to and from the station from Hellesdon, get a programme and get into the ground......5/11d - less than 30p!    

[quote user="Thorny"]May have been Chartlon at Palace back then. Not Wimbledon[/quote] Went to Wimbledon away at Selhurst Park in 92/93?? when Big Fat Bob paid for the away travel.  We got there just before kick-off as the Club Cabbage driver insisted we were going the right way on the M23 until we hit Gatwick!!!!

[quote user="nutty nigel"] When this has been claimed before Mr Carrow said Baldwin stole it from fanzine. Now these were around long before Baldwin''s book. I''d ask Mr Carrow but he''s probably washing his hair or doing sums on a fag packet or something......   He''d know though because he used to have a fanzine round[;)]     [/quote] I used it in a cartoon I did for the fanzine ''Never Mind The Danger'' back in the late 80''s - I didn''t invent it though as the term had been around for sometime then????

Fat Cat and Canary on Thorpe Road (about 10 mins walk from the ground) worth a visit!

A bit OT but I was ''amused'' to be sent a letter from the Club asking "as a previous Member" if I would like to rejoin the Gunn Club at a price of £205 for the season "less than £11 per match" - just to get in the door!  Given that myself and two friends had decided that £125 last season was too much (especially as you get ripped off for drinks - no Member benefits there I can assure you), you can imagine that the time between receipt of the letter and it''s recycling was minimal.  As a contrast, I see that the Holiday Inn offers a carvery plus a drink (with a reserved table) for less than £9. A couple of years ago the Gunn Club had a waiting list but methinks that is not the case now.

[quote user="CambridgeCanary"] [quote user="BigFish"]You just know there is a small group of posters on here hoping it goes horribly wrong next season so they can say they told us so.[/quote]   Unfortunately, that is no different to last year. The glee with which the very few disaster groupies met every set back and their absence at the end of the season still leaves a very unpleasant taste in the mouth. [/quote] Sometimes I wonder why they bother - if they are so keen on depression and brow beating why don''t they jog on down to Poorman Road where they have good reason to moan!

[quote user="paul moy"][quote user="lake district canary"].....scored three goals so far pre-season on their US tour.   I know he''s left, but it''s going to interesting following his career as the season progresses. Along with Fortune and others - Wigan looking good. [/quote] Is that a surprise ?  He''ll get them back into the Prem and may have kept us up if we do sadly go down. It all rests on RVW and Becchio now as we''ve ''burnt our bridges''. [/quote] Behave Paul....there''s another 3 weeks until the season starts and if you think signing the likes of RVW and Fer are ''burning are bridges'' you are getting into the Cody fantasy realms again!

Was visiting my wife''s step sister in Artena (about 25 miles south of Rome).  Hired a car for the week but decided we didn''t want to drive into Rome so drove to nearby town of Valmontone to get the train.  Parked in the small car park and the car next to ours had an NCFC sticker in the rear window!  Don''t know if his/her second team were Roma but the train was packed with Roma fans on their way to a home game. (PS if you see an OTBC sticker in the back of a car in Calgary, it will probably be my cousin Jayne!)

Better still why don''t we rename The Barclay End...The Holt End.......oh no...hang on a second....

Ebbsfleet United  #themightyfleet

I was born under the Barclay Stand I was born under the Barclay Stand Boots were made for kicking, guns were made to shoot If you come into the Barclay Stand we''ll all put in the boot! I was born under the Barclay stand. (To the tune of ''Wanderin Star'' from some 60''s musical.) 

Drazen Muzinic anyone????

[quote user="lake district canary"]Why do we have to hate any of them?       We''ve got a fantastic set of fans (well most of them) and don''t need to show hatred to anyone.  Show them what fans should be like.   Welcome them to Carrow Road with open arms and then wave them goodbye after we''ve taken three points off them.  No need for hatred.  At away matches its best to concentrate on just being positive about the team.  We''re so outnumbered away  anyway, there''s not much point in doing anything else.   Too much hatred and bitterness around -  we should be bigger than that.  [/quote]Hippie!!! [:D][W]

Ebbsfleet United (previously Gravesend and Northfleet United) hold the record for the longest continuous run in the FA Cup over a season.  They began their campaign in August 1962 and eventually got knocked out in an FA Cup 3rd Round replay against Sunderland in the middle of March 1963 after the atrocious winter weather of early 1963 caused recurrent postponements.

Boll***s - just noticed that someone has RTd an old Tweet from last year - so  no truth in it (yet). [:$]

[quote user="The ghost of Michael Theoklitos"]Do you have a link? I see nothing on Sky Sports or Sky Sports Football on Twitter. Do you have a link to the tweet? It might be a fake account. [/quote] Sorry, totally technically inadequate but the Twitter account is @SkySports Apologies to everyone if I have been taken in!!!

According to Sky Sports Twitter feed.  If this is true, I say let the guy go and enjoy the rest of his career - anywhere between £2m-£3m would be fair.  The guy is and will always remain a legend here so good luck to him however it turns out!
