Yes Gerry Harrison is still alive! The poor man could not win in his Match of the Week days. Norwich supporters thought he favoured Ipswich and Ipswich supporters thought he favoured Norwich! -
Old NCFC pics - excellent
Ghost of Davie Ross replied to Bill's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Didn''t they have jockstraps in those days? -
Apart from the derby, which game...
Ghost of Davie Ross replied to Pete Raven's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Sheffield United - because I always enjoy the Christmas games at Carrow Road. Portsmouth will also be interesting. -
Controversial?!!!!!!! Ye Gods - talk about self-delusion!!

I think this thread sums up the attitude of a lot of people - totally disillusioned with the England team after the worst World Cup performances since 1950.However I could never turn my back on England, and last night''s performance WAS a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel.....

So many empty seats...
Ghost of Davie Ross replied to a1canary's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
And Newcastle''s crowd was well below capacity too despite it being their first game back in the Premier League. It looks like fans are finally turning their backs on greedy clubs who think they can charge them the earth and they will continue to turn up docilely like sheep. -

Also I think there is a general disillusionment with football after England''s absymal performance in the World Cup. -

Ghost of Davie Ross replied to city till i die's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
£31 might be just about an acceptable price if you are young and single but if you are a parent who wants to bring their kids to the game then you can see the problem. Personally I believe that the price of watching football in this country in general is quite ridiculous. When I started going in 1970 watching football and going to the cinema cost pretty much the same. Look at the difference now. -
New York Canaries

At least the cabs in New York are the right colour! -
RIP Adam Stansfield
Ghost of Davie Ross replied to Captain Fantastic's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
He played against City at Carrow Road only last January. Really sad news and it puts football firmly into perspective. -
Norwich 2, Everton 4
Ghost of Davie Ross replied to Pete Raven's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Am at the game and the scoreline is definitely rather harsh on City. They have looked really dangerous going forward and with a bit of luck could have had a couple of goals themselves. -
Champions trophy?
Ghost of Davie Ross replied to Lunarcrash's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
It''s a good idea but sadly it is unlikely that Man U or Chelsea would want to take part. In the early seventies we had the Watney Cup, which consisted of the two highest scoring teams from each of the two divisions in the previous season (although teams that qualified for Europe were excluded). It was played in the week or two before the season started and was very popular with fans - matches were even shown on Match of the Day. I remember Halifax beating Manchester United one year! (and this was the full Man U side with Best, Charlton et al). -
Saw the film on television on Sunday night. Did anyone notice that one of the archive clips in the film was of a game at Carrow Road in the 1960s? I recognised the old Barclay Stand with its Watney''s advert instantly! (I''m wondering if the match was Norwich v Derby in April 1969 - the Rams won 4-1 and City manager Lol Morgan was sacked afterwards) As for the film itself, it''s entertaining but definitely not to be taken seriously! And it would have been nice if they''d made some effort to get the hairstyles right - contrary to popular opinion amongst the younger generation, the scarecrow look wasn''t common amongst footballers in the late 60s and early 70s! Oh, and Johnny Giles was about 5 foot 5 - not the six footer he was portrayed as in the film!

Loss of the Pinkun Live Text Feed
Ghost of Davie Ross replied to Evil Monkey's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Pete please can I have the name of the person at the FA who made this idiotic objection so that I can get in touch to complain. I am profoundly deaf so sound commentary is useless to me. I was delighted when live text was introduced as it meant that I could follow away games as they happened for the first time. Now it has been taken away for no good reason other than sheer bloody mindedness. My complaint probably won''t change anything but might at least make the twit responsible feel guilty and ashamed. -
Vintage Norwich Titbits
Ghost of Davie Ross replied to norfolkbroadslim's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Oh yes I remember those huts! Every club had them and they really did feel like Aladdin''s caves. The modern superstores simply don''t have the same charm. -
Carrow Road 2018?
Ghost of Davie Ross replied to Stukulele's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Just because there''s a motorway most of the way to Plymouth doesn''t mean the journey is a joy - there are usually 30 mile tailbacks in the summer! -
Derby Day Saturday
Ghost of Davie Ross replied to ur just a man in a jacket's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
In the late 90s most of the home games against Ipswich were played in the evenings. It was always a cracking atmosphere and I''d much prefer that to Sunday lunchtime. Sadly I suspect the police will insist on Sunday once again. -
To his horror Emile realised that in the rush to get changed he had forgotten to put his jockstrap on

New Seasons fixture list.

No internet access? I remember when I used to have to wait till the Eastern Evening News came out - and we were NEVER told when the fixtures were coming out, unlike now! -

Thick footballers
Ghost of Davie Ross replied to George Smiley's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
There was the famous occasion when West Brom toured China in 1978 and manager Ron Atkinson asked the players if they''d like to visit the Great Wall of China. Their midfield player John Trewick declined, saying "Once you''ve seen one wall you''ve seen them all". -
Norwich What?
Ghost of Davie Ross replied to Farkes The Herald Angels's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
I shouldn''t think too many people nowadays would get Leeds United confused with Leeds City!
