  1. It is worrying that younger fans get priced out, more than anything. You want to get fans at a young age and keep them hooked, and we''ve previously been very good at this (I remember the glorious £17 season ticket in the family end years ago). £20 a game is high - not just for us but for a lot of clubs.
  2. Holiday, and lack of momentum. Give us a few home wins on the trot and people will come in.
  3. [quote user="First Jedi"]"but it''s pretty clear that Archant can''t allow links to foreign broadcasts that have not been sanctioned - it''s a copyrite issue" Archant would break no copyright law, or any other law for that matter in having a link to an allegedly illegal site. "Would you post torrents to films or tv shows" Many forms of media are legally distributed via torrents and therefore the practice shouldn''t be inherently be wrong.[/quote]It''s not the practice I''m talking about, and you know that. It''s the content. So I''ll rephrase.Would you post torrents to films protected by copyrite?
  4. I genuinely don''t understand why it''s such a struggle to not post links to material that is quite clearly and understandably prohibited. Yes, we all want to watch it, and many of you will if you aren''t at the game, but it''s pretty clear that Archant can''t allow links to foreign broadcasts that have not been sanctioned - it''s a copyrite issue, and they can''t be seen to allow copyrite to be broken. Is it that hard to be mature enough to refrain from posting it? Would you post torrents to films or tv shows? Jeez.
  5. [quote user="morty"]The club isn''t stupid. They wouldn''t have these prices if people weren''t prepared to pay them.[/quote]Indeed. We have mascots every game and someone starting OTBC every game. People pay.
  6. [quote user="First Wizard"][quote user="thirdlion"]Because it''s illegal, and you know that.[/quote]Is it? Haven''t seen Google or anyone else done yet. [/quote]Don''t be a facetious arse. ISP''s and search engines are not counted as liable given they have no active involvement in promoting or distributing the material.A privately owned message board that allows such material, however, certainly could be, and whoever removes links is doing so to make sure they are on the right side of the law.
  7. [quote user="First Wizard"][quote user="ref89"]Stephen Fry is known globally.  He is one of the most respected comedians in the UK etc etc, Delia is a legend in the media.  Between them we have one of the best known boards in the country, which is no bad thing when mixed with the obvious accumen of McNally and Bowkett.Stop being such a prat.  Fry is Norfolk born and bred and will help to raise the profile of the club.  [/quote]Stop being gullible and brainwashed.[/quote]Stop being obtuse and deliberately bitter. Stephen Fry is globally known and, in this country, as famous as they come. Delia may not be your cup of tea but she is also a big name. She may be no A lister but Fry most certainly is.
  8. Calm down. Get some fresh air. Enjoy the coastal breeze. There are more important things to get so riled about.
  9. I wouldn''t call him minted. He''ll have some cash but I wouldn''t think he''s any richer than Delia.
  10. People have rose tinted glasses for Martin, because he''s not as error prone as Otsemobor, but they don''t have rose tinted glasses on for Spillane?
  11. Ah, English fans. A player with a wealth of technical ability, but without the blustering about, and he''s a luxury. Fickle.
  12. [quote user="AJ"][quote user="thirdlion"]Joe Lewis is showing that he''s nothing special. Mistake prone and with poor judgment, especially in coming for crosses. [/quote] and from what we''ve seen so far from Ruddy? [/quote]I''m not saying Ruddy is going to be world class, I''m just not going to write the book on him after one game, which so many fans seem willing to do.
  13. Joe Lewis is showing that he''s nothing special. Mistake prone and with poor judgment, especially in coming for crosses.
  14. [quote user="Mister Chops"][quote user="First Wizard"]Its Official, Russell IS now the enemy! September the 18th is going to be lively. http://www.pnefc.net/page/NewsDetail/0,,10362~2110480,00.html [/quote] Earlier, from a thread about Andy Marshall....[quote user="First Wizard"][quote user="GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary"] Had he have been a mercenary foreigner who had just been passing through and joined them after playing for us for a couple of years, who could partially understand it, but Marshall was with Norwich from the age of 10 and came up through the ranks and would have known all about the rivalry, there were other clubs he could of joined besides them. Will Tottenham fans ever forgive Sol Canpbell for joining Arsenal......I somehow doubt it [/quote]Seriously, how old are you? He needed employment, would you have paid for him to sit on the dole, just to keep your silly pride intact? Jeez. [/quote]So Russell is the "enemy" for moving to Preston North End, but Andy Marshall (a NCFC youth product who joined Ipswich Town) is not the enemy.You can see why we get confused from time to time, I hope?[/quote]I''m quite interested in Wiz''s justification there...
  15. [quote user="Larry David"]He''s got what he wanted - a 3 year contract with a signing on fee. I believe Rusty is only in the game for as much money as he can get.[/quote]As opposed to us working jobs out of sheer love for our employer.
  16. L1 to Championship is a bigger jump, for me, than Champ to Prem.
  17. Lower Barclay, 2 rows from the front.
  18. Chelsea, Norwich, Southampton, Rotherham. Chris Martin top scorer.
  19. [quote user="Brendo "][quote user="Legend Iwan"][quote user="portmanking"]They are dotting the I''s and crossing the T''s re. Fulop - certainly one of the best signings in the Championship so far this summer.[/quote]   Do you actually think this is on the same level as Kris Boyd?   [/quote]No Iwan, but come on, he is a class keeper. I for one would swap Ruddy for him hands down. [/quote]Really? You''d swap a young keeper with rave reviews for a 35 year old who''s never made it in the Premiership, and loses his place to perma-crock Gordon? No.
  20. Aye. 10 years of service isn''t a common thing now, so it''d be nice to see one happen next summer.
  21. [quote user="Proud Preston"]Mornin'' folks, Local news up here are reporting we''ve offered Russell a contract and he was seen in the stand for our friendly with Blackburn on Tuesday night. Ferguson has been looking for a holding midfielder all summer to finally replace Paul Mckenna and it looks like Russell is his choice. We don''t have much (if any) money to throw about at the moment so most fans see Russell on a free as a decent signing. You lot have obviously seen a lot of him over the years so how do you rate him as a holding midfielder at this level? Cheers.[/quote]Ignore the bitter folks on here - many are still annoyed he wanted to see if he could get a better deal. He''s a good player, a tough tackler and he''ll do you fine. We''d be a better team with him still in it.
