We have two tickets in the Jarrold for todays game but can''t make it. We don''t want them to go to waste. The catch? Well you''ll have to come and pick them up from near Downham Market. First to PM me with their phone number so we can arrange pick up is welcome to them. Shame because I really wanted to see us stuff Reading!!

[quote user="morty"][quote user="itstheruddyfuture"][quote user="morty"][quote user="itstheruddyfuture"]Could anyone suggest a ball park figure of what Smith & Jones have put in to the club and also if they can see how they might have milked the club and in what way that represents good value for their input? From what I assume they have both purchased shares and made available further amounts as "directors loans" which are either seen as "gifts" (not expected to be recalled) or debt. Not a trolling post, genuine interest and also I would like to put the matter to bed satisfactorily in my own mind please.[/quote]I seem to remember Delia herself saying that they had put something in the region of 10 or 12 million into the club that they are unlikely to see back.*This is only a vague memory and I am perfectly prepared to be proved wrong by the fag packet accountants.[/quote] Thank you morty, for some reason I had it at £15m but I expect it would take someone with accurate knowledge to pin it down. I don''t know how you ever see a return on that during your "tenure" since the club is loss making (aren''t all clubs?) and dividends must be few and far between. Maybe you could make it back if you ever sold your shares and clawed back your loans but only if you''ve added value meanwhile. I take the later point about Geoffrey Watling as well made too but all I know is that every time I walk into Carrow Road and take my seat in the Jarrold I am immensely proud of the club, stadium, fans and the people who run the whole thing. I suppose people make mistakes like putting Roeder in charge of the team but the fact that they are still here means that they are in for the long haul. I don''t feel that Delia is more famous or has more cachet from being associated with the club (faintly infamous for the Rant but sincere) but I do feel if anything it is slightly the other way around.[/quote]It very well could be 15 million, it was only a throwaway line in an interview. Which ever it is, its certainly not small change! Yeah, thats the way I see Delia too, I certainly don''t hold with theories that she bought into the club to help her media image, she was already way more of a household name than Norwich City was!We could get into a whole other debate here, but a lot of people forget that Roeder kept us up before his dramatic fall from popularity, things are always much easier to rationalise with hindsight though.[/quote] I realised I had mentioned Roeder but I had thought I had gotten away with it.

[quote user="morty"]But the fact of the matter is that my particular internet spat with him is about something that was said on here ages ago, he likely doesn''t remember anyway.[:)] [/quote] But you are probably the only one or one of a few who knows this and to others it seems that every time Bly posts you are down his throat. At the end of the day you and others and Bly seem to need the last word and it is all about ego, don''t worry - we all have one, nothing personal, but if it was a simple disagreement you could sort it out by pm but instead it has to be an argument won in public - and yet it is never won!

Haven''t seen a stream of the Burnley game, only listened to it on the radio so that must make me a poor fan. Saw three Prem games plus the Swansea v Cardiff game which could have made me a bad partner only she''s as footy bonkers as me so I guess it does mean that we are saddos with no life. Came on here to learn and discuss but I''ve seen all this before, hugely enjoyable for some I''m sure but it does get boring after a while honestly. At the end of the day you massively knowledgeable fans all represent our club and you get stuck in a ever decreasing circles. Some of you will say "well don''t read it then" but it''s not an answer cos you can''t just filter it out. Why don''t you try to persuade each other to your opinions and be willing to be persuaded? I''ll get my coat.

Sorry but no. The team have been passing the ball around, can keep possession and spray the ball around. Plenty of chances, strikers just a bit off form of late but we''ll hit our form and the goals will come. When you see how many times we are virtually in the 6 yard box but can''t seem to convert you''ll know that there''s no problem with supply.
