So if Gibbs, Sargent, Dowell and Sinani keep doing the business will you revise that opinion? Even the rise of Omo, Rowe, Tomkinson etc are largely down to the focus on youth development and training facilities that Webber implemented.

Have we really messed up?
Mr.Carrow replied to Dean Coneys boots's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Exactly what I was about to post. Sinani scored 2, assisted 1 and hit the bar with an excellent chip against championship opposition the other night. He needed a loan to find his feet. If Tzolis needs it too then it's an excellent decision and we have 4 more years of him. -
Huge difference in pulling power between Stevenage and Birmingham. But 12k against very small opposition is still way better than most clubs.
-
Why is it out of line? We're normally amongst the biggest attendances in the early stages of the cup and normally approaching 20,000. Most likely because it's one of very few occasions when families and groups of friends can actually buy tickets together.
-
I saw a ticket/season ticket price comparison chart a few months ago and that certainly puts things into perspective. If we had a 40k stadium with £250 season tickets and £20 casual tickets plus offers for less glamorous games I think we'd be up over 35k too....

Do you live up that way? I've been to Bodo 3 times to go over to the Lofotens. Love that area.

Used to see him in the Snakepit. Seemed like a good lad.

Norwich fanbase/forum
Mr.Carrow replied to The Great Mass Debater's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
If you look at followers on social media NCFC have around 5 times that of ITFC so it's not supporter base. Think it's just that none of our forums ever really gained traction. -
Binners really scraping the barrel
Mr.Carrow replied to cambridgeshire canary's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
They usually scrap with bins don't they? Good to see they're brave enough to take on other inanimate objects too. -
Think it was Bailey who said bigger clubs were interested in poaching several of our youngsters but they think they'll get more opportunities here. Given how few youngsters at top clubs actually break through into the first team it wouldn't surprise me if intelligent and well advised young players prefer being a bigger fish in a smaller pond, therefore progressing quicker. In some ways the club has a delicate balancing act in that we need quite regular breakthroughs to show the other youngsters what's possible, which can lead to players being pushed on too quickly.
-
Lol. Ask an 1p5wich, Sunderland, Sheffield Wednesday or Portsmouth fan the definitionof "freefall". My statement is factually accurate in every way: smart training facilities paid for, money to spend with no need to sell, no debt, young players turning down bigger clubs to sign for us (according to Bailey) and many looking good (Rowe, Omabamadele, Springett, Tomkinson etc), big squad without crippling wages etc.

The club is in an infinitely better position than when the plan was implemented. That is fact rather than opinion.

Forget Cantwell ..appears Sinani will be back
Mr.Carrow replied to rock bus's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
There's nothing Smith said today to suggest that Huddersfield don't have a buy option. He literally said we have to wait on their decision. Having seen him a few times I think more than anything it shows just how average the championship is that he can be a regular in a team finishing third. He's ok and at 24 could improve but even the fans and local press are unsure whether he's worth £800k. -
This is what you wanted isn't it?
Mr.Carrow replied to Badger's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Our mustelid friend has already proven on other topics he's basically a narcissistic authoritarian who will happily make stuff up to try and smear anyone who disagrees with his morally righteous self aggrandisement. Quite amusing to see people realising his true colours. -
Michael Bailey Athletic Article
Mr.Carrow replied to Move Klose's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
I think increasingly it's an attraction for young players with the right attitude as well. I've seen several quoted saying "I can get my head down and focus on my game here", and several of our under 23's turned down bigger clubs apparently. -
Can't see how he's any better than Idah and Idah is still only 21.
-
Admittedly a few seasons ago but I was told by someone close to the ticket office that the Barclay and Snakepit were almost 100% season tickets. I believe the club don't do buy back if there are non restricted view seats available so I assume that the ones Burnley returned sold fairly slowly and few people were able to do it. I guess nobody really knows how supporting culture will change with a significant increase in capacity, but there are plenty of ways to fill seats: expanded away allocation, expanded family area, ticket offers, advertising campaigns etc.

McLean, in of course!
Mr.Carrow replied to Bradwell canary's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Pretty clear from today that the problem hasn't been persevering with McLean, it's been persevering with Gilmour. -
New manager needed for the Championship?
Mr.Carrow replied to yellow_belly's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Is Knudsen still at Bodo? Smith just strikes me as a predictable Ron manager without fresh ideas. -
We don't need a stadium expansion then...
Mr.Carrow replied to TeemuVanBasten's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Lack of demand for single and restricted view seats does not imply lack of demand for multiple/better seats. A group of 3 mates hoping to sit together in the Barclay are unlikely to say "I know, let's all sit separately in the Wensum corner!" when they can't get those tickets. -
Some Big Decisions Needed
Mr.Carrow replied to king canary's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
I will seriously start to doubt Smith if Gilmour starts Saturday and Byram doesn't. Byram is taller, more physical and experienced than Aarons. We need these experienced leaders right now. -
It's interesting that the the money we should receive for Cantwell seems to be exactly what we would need to shell out for Normann. I think it's fairly obvious who we (and Webber) would rather have. However I find it hard to believe that the player wouldn't have some kind of release option if we went down. From his perspective, would you sign something that committed you to playing in the Championship even if you'd torn up the Prem?

Canaries star granted UK stay after battle
Mr.Carrow replied to Badger's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Know a few people who've met him and he's just a lovely guy apparently. Nice news.
