Yellow Bird

That''s great and hope the result makes the trip worthwhile :) Pre match nerves are already setting in for me. Huge, huge game

I''m not being a defeatist, I''m being a realist. There really aren''t many straws left to clutch now. Had we of won or just not lost yesterday, I would have said yes, there''s still a chance. Four teams are drifting away from everyone else. 3 go down. Will we be the one not to? Sorry, I don''t think we will. Of course, I hope I am proved wrong but we simply aren''t good enough for this league and didn''t strengthen the squad at the back and front in the transfer window.

My son is a season ticket holder and can''t go due to the kick off time of 12.15. He can''t even change shifts as it''s 7-2 or 2-9 and would need to allow for travel etc. I expect a lot of fans may have booked holidays etc or feel the extra £25/£15 per ticket if there is a family is too much to pay over their season ticket price. I''ve got my ticket and can''t wait, if a little nervous. Now IF we get to the final I''m in a predicament...my daighter''s baby is due that day and if she hasn''t had it before that date, she''s being induced on that Monday!

[quote user="pearsos"]I''m sure that the trains from Norwich would go via Cambridge into Kings Cross, otherwise it would be carnage!!! Not sure what will happen to those going from places like Diss though. Nice thought about the Coaches, can you imagine over 700 going down the A11.[:D] [/quote] I am sure Diss is on the same line from Norwich to Liverpool Street so that would have to be sorted. You''ve then got all those places in between. The buses wouldn''t be able to stop at the same service stations and anyone travelling by car would have a free reign! I guess there is a plan in hand. Wembley have held finals for rival teams before.

[quote user="Bethnal Yellow and Green"]Worth noting that if Norwich play Ipswich in the semi-finals they will be played on the Saturdays, no matter if Norwich finish 3rd and Ipswich 6th, or Norwich 4th and Ipswich 5th. Very intrigued as to how the travel arrangements will work if Norwich end up facing Ipswich in the final. Considering the Norwich to London train goes through Ipswich. 37,000 Norwich fans on coaches?[/quote] Policing would be an absolute nightmare should we meet Ipswich in the finals. Like you said, all the traffic from London will be heading the same way, trains from Liverpool Street are on the same line to Ipswich and Norwich. I would fear taking children and my mum, aged 80, wouldn''t miss it for the world but I would worry about her too. I hate trouble of any sort. If we did play them in the final, whether you''re blue or yellow you''ve got a 50% chance of coming home happy and a 50% chance not. That just spells trouble for those looking for it and its bound to happen.

Bolton are playing well. Can''t see Bournemouth losing this. Mind you, I said that about us two Fridays ago !! Bournemouth deserve to go up,if I''m honest. Saturday afternoon will seem pointless if Bournemouth do go up tonight, tho.

All I''ve seen is the head lock captured on the front of the Pink Un. Surely that''s evidence enough to explain the actions of Grabban. Of it wasn''t a proper punch, then that''s worse. Thing is damage has been done noow. We were down to 10 players and just may have caused us not to see out the win. All ifs and buts, though.

[quote user="Dicky"][quote user="Yellow Bird"]Well I''m happy to eat my words should it not happen, but I think its play offs for us. I''ve thought it all the way along. I''m not being negative, just think we will bottle it like we did Friday night. So hope,I''m wrong and you and Stan are right :)[/quote] You ARE being negative. We didn''t bottle it. They had a lucky OG and then parked the bus. Get behind the team FFS[/quote] I am not being negative. Ok, maybe bottled it was a bit strong, but we should''ve been up for this game from the start. We weren''t and were punished. Middlesborough had a plan, and it pulled off. We didn''t seem to have a plan early on but, if we stand any chance going up automatically, we need a plan for the final two games. The late Bolton winner and the Leeds win had me thinking we would do nothing but win Friday night. Like I said I''m quite happy to eat my words about thinking we will only make the play offs. If we win both our two final games and Brighton wins theirs, we are up ... :)

I remember the 4-4 draw in 2005..! Need a win and nothing less. I''m not negative, but still dare not dream. Watford scored another 3 goals last night and I can''t personally see Bournemouth slipping up now. I don''t think my nerves can stand the play-offs!! That''s just a lottery, and it''ll probably be the team in sixth place wins!!

Assuming the family are happy, I''d go for applause. Stops any chance of that one joker who thinks its funny to make some noise. Applause, to me, shows appreciation which is appropriate I feel.

[quote user="CANARYKING"]Is it too late or has everybody already voted for Johnson. If wes plays like that for the remaining games surely he should win it plus he''s coming to the end of his career, maybe one more year,[/quote] It''s Johnson for me, too. I don''t argue Wes hasn''t put a shift in of late, though.

I''m sure it''s not cheap sitting in the Jarrold stand. None of it is cheap come to think of it. Someone at my work place sells theirs for £30 when they can''t attend. I think its a fair ask. It must be a sell out today
