  1. [quote user="Horse Renoir"]"An adult season ticket, purchased before the ‘early bird’ deadline (which was April 17), costs between £423 and £674"

    My eyes actually started watering as I read that. Seriously? That is absolutely criminal, I can''t believe it but I''m feeling the slightest tinge of sympathy for the binners.

    Oh well, long may it continue![/quote]Keep taking the tablets Horse Renoir, I promise it will soon pass, and you''ll be back to your normal self.[;)]

  2. I''m not a Russell Martin fan, but as I read it, this thread was started to congratulate him on winning Norwich City’s PFA Community Champion of the Year award for 2016-17.  For that I congratulate him unreservedly.Any criticism I may have of him and/or his fellow defenders are NOT for this thread.[:D]

  3. [quote user="westcoastcanary"][quote user="OldRobert"][quote user="Greavsy"]Who would you prefer OldRobert???[/quote]Probably Monk, but''s that''s at a push.  Not overwhelmed by any of the names tbh.[/quote]So if it''s any of Rosler, Monk, Wagner, O''Neill or Hudson (have 1 missed any others who have been linked?) you will be whelmed or even underwhelmed? Just as a matter of interest then, who would leave you overwhelmed?[/quote]None of the above mate.  Maybe Webber has a rabbit in his hat..........or not.

  4. [quote user="TCCANARY"][quote user="Mike "]My mum bashed her car into John Fananu''s car causing a bit of damage. He said ''don''t I earn enough and I have done it myself... I''ll sort"

    Not that an I dividual actually[/quote]

    He probably didn''t have insurance.[/quote]Well said TCC.  Either that or it wasn''t his car.@Mike.  What people don''t like about John was his attitude to his brother who looked after him when they were very young, then when older, and Justin had his troubles, he trashed him any way he could to avoid being associated with him.  His own brother.  John always fancied himself as Billy Big Bo$$ocks and has behaved like a flash yob for most of his adult life.  You won''t find much in the way of good words for him on here.

  5. [quote user="Mike "][quote user="Yellowhammer"]The atmosphere in the seventies was excellent we were louder than most grounds ,then seats were put in and prices raised ,stopping many fans coming due to cost ,then the hotel wrecked the ground splitting the stands ,the atmosphere has been killed by outpricing the ordinary fan who would be more willing to sing and replacing them with a more reserved type fan .many people who used to go every week can''t afford the prices charged these days[/quote]

    Spot on....[/quote]Totally agree.  The introduction of seats killed the atmosphere in football grounds up and down the country, and has continued to do so.

  6. [quote user="king canary"]@old Robert

    Fuck me you took a bit of a leap there didn''t you?[/quote]Nah, I''m too old to take a leap!  Might trip over me Thermos.[;)]@Rock the Boat  Having paid double for my season ticket (if I was allowed one), not forgetting my medical insurance, no doubt I wouldn''t be allowed my own transport, so I''d have to depend on public transport (am I allowed on that, or do us oldies clutter that up as well?) to get to the ground.  Oops, there isn''t any for the first 4 miles, never mind, let the old sod walk, then when I get there I''m not let in as I''m over 60/70 or I''ve got white hair.  No CR isn''t a ''Rest Home for white-haired folks'' nor is it a playground for the ageist younger ''fan''.   

  7. [quote user="daly"]Rock the boat

    One day you might live to be that white haired old boy who has supported NCFC for 60/70 years. Doubt it though eating all that crap hamburgers and curry chips, you''ll be lucky if you ever see Premiership football again. You obviously have something against the older generation. I am 80 go to Greens Gym every day and probably are fitter than the average curry/burger eater.

    Live and let live [/quote]Got a feeling he doesn''t want us to come out of our burrows at all Daly.  Maybe we should give up our houses, cars etc., perhaps he wants us carted off to camps or something, where we won''t bother the ''younger generation''.  Not sure, but I think someone did something like that before?

  8. @smoothYou were saying.............give one or two some game time from the bench and see what happens, that''s what has been said.  Not your exaggeration of starting 5/6 etc.  Twenty minutes here and there, amazing what can happen like Maddisons''s 13 minutes today, look what that will have done to his confidence.  Nah, leave him on the bench or at home, much better for him.
