  1. So it''s Cardiff next Saturday, and I get to walk down the road to the new Lego Stadium.My problem is, do we cheer Craig Bellamy? I can''t remember far back enough to know whether he went on good terms or not. But he''s a former Canary and one of the best players to go through in a while. But then again, he''ll be in a Cardiff shirt, and it''ll make me feel dirty...Help?

  2. [quote user="Jim Smith"]It was an opportunity missed and i asked McNally about this towards the end of last season. Basically there were a multitude of factors but chief amongst them was the fact that the bids and submissions had to be in before Mcnally and Bowkett joined the board and at that time looking at ways of expanding the ground was not top of the priority list. I am sure that if the opportunity arose again we might not be so slow on the uptake![/quote]I wondered if this was the case. I thought back and thought the bidding process may have been in the takeover period and so dropped down the priority list. Plymouth and MK Dons have only got it because they have to spread it around country. What a shame it won''t be in Norwich.

  3. Ok, i understand there isn''t a motorway, but Plymouth is a long way from nearly everywhere...And I meant if it''s plausible for MK Dons, Bristol and Plymouth to get the money to expand to 40,000 with virtually no chance of ever filling it, why not Norwich? The board say we''d be self-financing at 35,000 in the premiership, I would have hoped they would have considered the idea of getting a massive chunk of money from the FA and FIFA to make it happen and put Norwich on the map. I think it''s a big opportunity missed...

  4. Been looking up the England 2018 bid, and I knew Norwich wasn''t in the bid as a host city, but does anyone know if they even applied? If Bristol and Plymouth can make it and get their stadiums boosted to 40,000+, why couldn''t Norwich? I know getting to Norwich isn''t easy for most people, but it''s surely better than Plymouth? Maybe we''d also finally get some dual carriageways. Plus Norwich has a great reputation for a positive, friendly atmosphere and would fill every game. Any ideas if they applied, and if not, why not?

  5. Just occured to me, could Grant Holt rise to the same or a similar level to Darren Huckerby in the eyes of the fans? He seems to have a big following so far, of course scoring as many goals as he has done will endear any player to a new club, but coud he have that little bit extra? He was recently sent off for a nasty challenge but wasn''t roundly criticised. And do you think it''s good to have a player rise to such a status, do we become over-reliant on them or does it give us a lift?

  6. Norwich - WWWWWWWDWWWDWWW  F 37  A 9   CS 9Leeds     - LWWWWDWDDWWWDLLL  F27  A14  CS 6Interesting stats I believe. And as I like to remind my leeds supporting mate, the only difference between us was the 93rd minute and Forster very briefly being a spanner.  I think Leeds will pick up form again though, it''s an inevitable run of bad results that any team will get now and then. Dare I say it, Norwich''s may be yet to come...

  7. I enjoyed the sheff utd game at home a few years ago, where the away fans started chanting at a fan in the barclay with a pink shirt "who''s the rent boy in the pink? who''s the rent boy in the pink?"  made me chuckle...

    Also enjoyed my two trips to ninian park where we chanted "you''ll never fill you new ground!" in reference to their 13000 fans and their new 25000 seat stadium over the road... they responded by swearing... lots... witty bunch over there...


  8. At the inevitable risk of being slagged off for my ''inside info'', I can say I know Norwich have paid just under 300k to shrewsbury, and about 70k to preston.  This is just raw fugures, I don''t know about any future payments, but this is what has been paid so far...
