Reading about the great season ticket sales and super membership - great for the club. But only 1500 tickets for casuals - obviously too late now, but, would it be sensible to now add the 2nd tier on to either the main or south stands or both? Has anything been said about this? Perhaps if we stay up it''s in the plans for next summer. I really believe we could fill at least 1 more tier even in the Championship - which we''re not of course!!

The guy is still a legend in my eyes and I''d like to see him back in his role as a PR / Marketing manager he''s good for the club and Norwich as a whole. Team management just isn''t right for him.

Would love to see Ade & Malky in charge of us, but I''m still backing Roeder - he''s our manager and we need to back the guys in charge and on the pitch. Perhaps with Ade & Malky we can have Hux and Roberts as coaches ;o)  

MLS season finishes this week, and apparently Hux has got season tickets for Carrow Road.  How about getting him on loan? Just a thought - doubt it will happen, but thoughts?  

[quote user="Hamster"] North Street, Bedminster has a few good bars / pubs and is only ten mins walk from the ground I''d recommend The Spotted Cow, Hen & Chicken, The Lounge & Tobacco Factory Would probably steer clear of any others closer to the ground if I were you [/quote] http://www.footballgroundguide.com/bristolc.htm Great site above for info on away days - it has the Hen & Chicken down as one to avoid.  Alas the ones it suggests for Away Fans are on the other side of the river, no idea how far walking from ground.

Big point being missed here, when allegations like this come about in any sport - you''ll find it was people "LAYING" the bet not backing it. The Far East would pay players (or jockeys) to lose a game - therefore they would have LAYED against Norwich winning probably when we''d equalised and Derby were down to 10 men as the odds would have swung in Norwich''s favour for the win (how little bookies know!!!). Everyone following?   This is why the likes of BETFAIR and SPREADBET will be involved in the investigation as they allow peopl to LAY the odds.

[quote user="jas the barclay king"] Im not! it''s for 1 month which means Reading have no intention of selling him.. he''s here simply to get fit... if it doesnt work Reading will off load him... You might then think we''d sign him but if Reading dont want him due to fitness then why would take a punt? jas :) [/quote]   If you found £50 note on the floor, you''d complain about people littering !! Good signing even if only for a month, will hopefully kick the &rse of the other strikers to find their shooting boots.    

[quote user="1st Wizard"] Smith and Jones will never sell up!. Oh for sure, they make the right noises in public,  but as of today, neither has even talked to Mr Cullum according to the club, you must remember him? he''s the local born, City supporter worth over a billion pounds! Add to that, virtually pricing City out of the market by slapping a 56 million price tag on us!. Loaning us another 2 million quid (it has to be paid back remember?) is not the actions of a woman planning to jump ship any day soon. Lets face it, we''re damn well stuck with them..........and her![:@] [/quote]   and I didn''t even know that Mel & Griff Rhys were selling anything ?!?!  

I''ve so been wanting Crofty to do well, and I still think he will - trouble last night was that we were bad all over the pitch.   It was chalk & cheese compaired to the Birmingham game. I wasn''t sure why GR took Lupoli off at half time, and despite a nightmare first half I thought Wes was starting to play some good football in the second half when GR took him off. At the end of the day, I''ll just take it as a bad day at the office - onwards and upwards bring on the Blades, and lets try again.

Spooky !!!   I just wrote this in that discussion thread: "Would appear that the H&S and PC b0ll0x is working to brain wash the masses into wrapping ourselves in cotton wool - I spent years as a kid on the terraces at CR and not once got hurt including when I used to stand on a milk crate when I was really young.   Of course I doubt I could take the milk crate in nowadays - probably deemed an offensive weapon !! Bring back the terracing - best footy days of my life." Could well have been me or my brother you saw - or many others that also used milk crates.  We had a blue and a green one - still in Dad''s garage I think !!!  

[quote user="Scooby"] No, it''s not. But we all have to wear seat belts now don''t we.  And 9/11 was mass murder caused by terrorism, not a bloody plane crash, you prat. [/quote]   Would appear that the H&S and PC b0ll0x is working to brain wash the masses into wrapping ourselves in cotton wool - I spent years as a kid on the terraces at CR and not once got hurt including when I used to stand on a milk crate when I was really young.   Of course I doubt I could take the milk crate in nowadays - probably deemed an offensive weapon !!

Excellent - some posters who appear to be Norwich supporters rather than the usual bunch of "normal for Norfolk" people on here. GR has brought in some good players at the money level we can afford. I personally can''t wait to see Sibs play.

This is one thing that Worthy got spot on - he never put his players down, or complained about them in public.  It was all done (where it should be) behind closed doors away from the public eye. Granty was worse than GR for it - and I don''t believe it is the way to get the best out of your team be it business or football.

My brother and I made our own flags for the day still hanging up in my garage to this day - made out of a bed sheet, green & Yellow felt pens and a bamboo cane ;o) Other than that the fact that it''s not recognised (due to the goal kick given) that my childhood hero Chris Woods saved that penalty (at least I like to think so). My Mum was gutted she decided not to go, so Dad said "Next time we''re in a final you''re coming no matter what", and guess what 17 years later we all went to Cardiff !!  ;o)

[quote user="Evil Monkey"]Good grief, are you lot seriously debating this? Could Yellow Rider have made it any clearer that he was on a wind-up, considering his opening gambit involves speaking to a guy who knows a guy who works in CATERING!! Then follows it up with the usual caveat of "probably just another silly rumour" to make it seem like he''s serious but not quite sure himself.... classic wind-up stuff, YR, well done for getting replies!! *rolls eyes and awaits getting abuse for this* [/quote] Personally I thought the "playing bowls" was the indicator, couldn''t take anyone seriously that plays that game.  And thats definatley maybe come from a guy I passed in the street who''s cousin twice removed might have once known a Norwich player in down a pub for 5 seconds in passing and he knew my Dad so it must be true!!

[quote user="we8wba"][quote user="Fraz"]   Problem with Doc is that is is an average championship Defender on a good day and the contract he is on goes back to when we signed him when we were in the prem. This would mean he''s probably on 10k a week (just an estimate)which would mean he''s probably one of the top earners at the club. Norwich can''t offer him a similar contract to what he''s on because for those wages you would expect to pay one of the best players in the championship, and he is not at that level & that''s why we have to let him go. [/quote] Good point [/quote]   I agree with this point also - just think with current senior players we can''t let anymore go, of course we don''t know whats going on behind the scenes - for all we know they''ll be a press conference by the end of the week unveiling 15 new signings!!   NOT    

.... "The States could still be the destination for out-of-contract City defender Gary Doherty. Doherty, 28, has yet to agree a new deal at Carrow Road and is reported to have been in talks with San Jose Earthquakes. With the Republic of Ireland international yet to sign, it leaves Jason Shackell as the only senior central defender on City''s books."    

Once again we miss out on a good (if not d&mn annoying) striker: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/d/derby_county/7395841.stm Love to see who we''re going to bring in, if a team that has been in League One for 2 seasons can get a guy like that!!

“I''ve always said so long as I''m out there getting chances, I''ll score goals. That''s the philosophy.” he said. “Cristiano Ronaldo''s got so many goals but he gets four or five chances a game. We saw here, he had so many chances. That''s the big difference whoever you are in football but especially when you''re in the Premier League.” Above quote from a recent Earnie interview - I may be reading this wrong, but is he likening himself to Ronaldo!?!?   The guy has got talent and I wouldn''t moan if he came back here and netted us 20+ goals next season, but the guys is such a dreamer!! First he dunps us for premiership football that he''s not good enough for and after scoring 1 goal in 6 games all season he claims to be of the same mould of Ronaldo - who is now on 40 goals is it? Bless Him !!!

Marshall Otzy - Pearce - Doc - Bertrand Crofty - Russell - Fozzy - Hucks Dion - Cheddar   For me

[quote user="Greg Sayer"][quote user="Stella Canary"][quote user="Greg Sayer"] seriously what more does this guy want, we were 1 - 0 up against a play off chaser, playing not bad football, and a guy who scored a hat trick last time at FCR, and hes shouting that cureton shouldnt be playing for the club??????? [/quote] Yes - we played a great game on Saturday and yes we were 1-0 up against a good side, but can we ask more of Jamie I think so.  As Roeder has said, it''s fine and dandy to score 3 goals against bottom of the league when we won the game 5-1, but (and it hurts me to say I like the guy but...) Jamie misses too many more important chances than he scores. When he went off on Saturday he knew that as well - when we''re only 0-0 or 1-0 (winning or losing) Jamie tends to buckle and miss his chances in front of goal and his display (albeit hard working) on Saturday reiterated our need for a striker who knows where the net is. I foresee Roeder opting for Dublin / Evans next week. [/quote]   i agree jamie didnt play that well, but  it was the manner of the WHU fans reaction that pee''ed me off, it was absolulty vile. [/quote]   Agreed aswell - unfortunately thats football, you''ll always get the boo boys and morons at any club and ground - goes with the territory, shame but it''ll never change.

WOW - you must be ... like ...... psychic or something !!    What a revelation - if only you were on the board, all our problems would be sorted.  

[quote user="Canarypops"] Yet again the board have made money in a transfer window and smoke screened it with 4 average loan signings. where is all this cash going each transfer window ,how much did we need a striker but no god forbid we spend any cash from sales of players. GLENN ROEDER YOU ARE A YES MAN [/quote] As many people have stated in other thrads players are over valued in the January window, and our aim this season is to stop the rot that Grant has subjected this club to.  Give these youngsters a chance - I say they will hold us firm out of the relegation zone.  Therefore GR would have saved the majority of his available money for Summer. If we then go through Summer without any notable signings we can start complaining. Until then grow up and shut up - back the entire club.  OTBC
