This could’ve been an excellent thread full of thought provoking points on the ladies game but @essex canary plays the Zoë card yet again

Ok we get it, you hate winkleman what about Sam Hamman and the Norwegians? in short the club progressed too quickly and were left behind, they were groundsharing with palace and tried to live beyond their means to stay in the big time. Hammam tried to move the club to Dublin ffs

Because as always with these Phoenix clubs they are the people who care and not the previous incumbents who ran the club into the ground

I guess this is similar to the late 80s and early 90s when Lower league players would have to have a secondary income, let’s not forget Stuart Pearce was an electrician before he joined Forest. what changed it in the men’s game from an ok earner to a mega earner was the introduction of the premier league and the sky money. Also I think euro 96 played a big part but that’s one for another day.

Most professional clubs until very recently didn’t have a ladies section, a lot of local clubs will have clubs of a higher status as it helps them achieve charter standard status which gives the club more funding from the FA Women’s football an elite level is or at least was political, before the introduction of the women’s super league a few years ago we had the likes of Notts County and Bristol academy (not city and managed by former England manager mark Sampson) playing at the top level however both fell away for more fashionable clubs like Man City and Man Utd who quickly became established at their parent clubs. in Norwich’s case the club would’ve been asked by a collection of ladies if they could represent the Norwich brand in the local ladies leagues, then when Flo Allen came on board the club was ‘bought into’ the main fold and they have gone from a local club to now competiting in a regionalised southern league and playing the likes of London seaward and Cambridge city - I managed a ladies side 2-3 leagues below them in the beds and Herts league. i used to work with and keep in touch with a current Norwich city ladies player, they train twice a week and have at most 2 matches a week, they are just below semi pro and would suggest they get paid £100 or so a week they will continue to grow the club as the ladies game continues to grow (exponentially over the last 5-10 years thanks to the lionesses) I would suggest within 10 years we will see regular carrow road appearances perhaps back to back with the men’s games and they will be knocking on the door of the WSL as the number of teams in that division grow After all the girls teams in many county FA league are outgrowing the boys teams and this expected to rise it will have a natural knock on effect into the adult game in the next few years

Probably due to Sarge being out when Hwang was here

Yeah I’ve had that connection between norfolk and burton too as you say probably due to the brewing

For it to be a franchise they would have had to replicate it, they haven’t, and that’s an argument in itself. if Norwich were dying like Wimbledon were I wouldn’t have been against it.

For me it was an innovative way to save a football club whilst giving another town/city the opportunity of having a football club but my comment was tongue in cheek and you are fully entitled to your opinion.

Swindon?

Watford, sheff Utd and Fulham if anyone says MK dons they need their head checking, common misconception that winkleman ‘stole’ Wimbledon, they were dying anyway

Pretty sure that’s the old stadium which is in front of the new one - they’ve kept it

Burton were once my second team but haven’t followed them much recently, my dad was from Burton and I still have family there now I follow Luton town having lived and worked in Luton for 20 or so years I used to work for Stevenage fc but have no real connection with them , however they’ve had a decent season just recently looked out for Exeter results as I listen to a podcast relating to that abroad, been to see Dortmund a few times

The old wrong clip excuse you f**ked up, have the balls to admit it

Never been to Leverkusen been Dortmund a number of times and a friend I know over there is gutted Leverkusen have won it particularly after Dortmund went so close last season I’m pleased to see someone different win it

We get it, you don’t like Ben Gibson 😉

Dropped an atomic bomb on Manchester, about 15 quids worth of damage

That’s what they should write on Warwick Davis’ tomb stone

A load of squit about nothing the club name is Norwich City more important things to worry about

It’s Cambridgeshire canary’s world and we’re all living in it 😉

How would you have defended that corner then Pep?

They probably know more about NCFC than Daley

You’re not missing much, Phil Daley is on tonight, if he’s the best they can do when Goreham not available then god help us Roy Waller would be turning in his grave

TotallyTettey well worth looking through the back catalogue, lots of Hernandez content which will please you @cambridgeshire canary
