  1. Had a phone call from Dad today, and was told that Chocolate

    Nutter - One of the Why Not Brewerys best beers has just been crowned

    Top Norfolk Bottled Beer 2011

    Also for anyone who is interested, On The Ball, has now been renamed to Hair Of

    The Dog. My Dad did read through all of this thread and was grateful for everyone’s

    comments.

    Maybe when he makes a new beer he might go back down the football route but

    with a lot more caution this time.

    Cheers


  2. Afternoon people.

    Thank you for some interesting thoughts from everyone, I was not expecting to

    get so much feed back here.

    @ plan b - I do agree about them wanting the crest of the label, I think when

    the decision was made to make a beer that could related to his one and only

    football club that he has been following for years he wasn’t really thinking

    about the consequence, he was just happy to show his pride in the club by

    putting it in to another one of his life hobbies, and for 3 years it was ok.

    The club approached him and told him NOT to produce any more of the beers which

    he has followed what they said because at the end of the day a local micro

    brewery cannot afford to go in to battle with a multimillion business like

    NCFC.

    My dad looks over the pinkun forum most days and he has been happy to see such

    kind words from people, although his computer skills do suck which is why he

    has not written anything on here himself.

    What happens next to the ball we will see but all your ideas have been noted.

    Thank you

    On The Ball! 


  3. Hello

    I have seen there is already a post about this, but I would

    like to get my view on this, I may have not made many posts on the forum but I

    have been a member for a long time

    Going back to the time from when my Dad made “Cheese board” appeared

    in the river end, and I’m sure some of you will remember this.

    So Mr Cheese board is the same man now who made and runs “The

    Why Not Brewery” which created the “On The Ball” beer, which in my opinion is fantastic

    ale, and for 3 years of not being in the big time, the football club did not

    raise an eyebrow about.

    It’s a whole different story now that we are back in the big

    time where we belong. But for the club to now start raising an issue with this

    beer makes me very upset. My dad has been a lifelong season ticket holder and I

    don’t remember him missing a home game. I can understand that using the crest

    can cause problems, but for the club to come out and say that he cannot use the

    phrase “On the ball” and the colours yellow and green is a bit bizarre. They have

    gone as far as saying he cannot even have a canary on the logo. I do not have a

    master in law but can this be done?

    In basically writing this to try and see if we can get some

    kind of backing here to keep this very successful beer going as it has done for

    the last few years! I know this is a long shot but I hope if I can get the

    support from the fellow Norwich fans and just hope the club may stumble across

    this and realises that taking my dad in to legal battles over a beer that

    promotes our football club is the complete wrong move!

  4. Coming from someone who follows Liverpool

    as well as the city I am over the moon to see Danni @ City

    ever since Liverpool signed him from barca he has always been talked about as a

    great talent for the future, although chance at Liverpool first team has been

    limited, the games he has played for Liverpool there has been some great signs.

    I can’t wait to see him play @ CR, great news for both clubs, hopefully this

    will give him some more experience for when he’s back at anfield.



  5. Haha I cant belive this has been brought back to life again, My dad will be very happy!, i will make sure he knows his fans are still out there. last time i tried to bring this back to life someone tor me to bits!Oh well, maybe this is a sign thatthe cheese board must rise again.Oh the days at CR when he started this, i will never forget the first game he did it at.

  6. 29-10-09

    Remember this date

    He is back in good voice.

    And according to the man himself he said he got a good reception.

    And before he passes out from either to much excitement from the game or the glass of brandy he is now pouring down his mouth, he says he would like people joining in on saturday.

  7. It was such a weird moment when he started the chat.

    One of the stewards who stood near my dad at the time went up to him and just

    said "here you go Colin, you’re the only person I know who could do

    something with this"

    and just handed him a foam cheese board.

    And of he went “CHEESEBOARD CHEESEBOARD CHEESEBOARD!!”

    That was until one game the head steward took it off him for some reason.

    shouting cheeseboard never had the same effect without the actual cheeseboard,

    he did try and take a white plastic chopping board in one day, but the stewards

    didn’t like that either for some reason.
