BroadstairsR 2,093 Posted May 26, 2015 Pity. Good for the community and the City it''s self.Brings people from afar into the City to the benefit of local businesses. Shops, restaurants and bars etc. I came u from the South and spent my fair share.I see this as one of the functions of a successful football club.Brings the community together and instils a feel-good factor around the place as a whole.Manufactures increased interest and support.In sum, a great day.The binmen have ridiculed our last one, unaware of the fact that nobody could actually find Ipswich Town centre and of the benefits of such a day..

morty 0 Posted May 26, 2015 Its simply down to logistics, players need to have a break before some of them join up with international squads etc.And this isn''t meant to be divisive, but any proper fans should have done their celebrating at Wembley yesterday.There was plenty of tickets to go round.

Murphy and the Bricks 0 Posted May 26, 2015 Shame gives those fans who couldnt make it a chance to enjoy promotion plus it brings some money into the city and the chance for some northern street vendors to sell some of their unofficial wares. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 7,455 Posted May 26, 2015 I think in the context a parade would be a bit OTT. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Having said that, I ''ve had one big celebration since 5ish yesterday afternoon..P.S. How do you define, "proper fan?"I sometimes visit a bar-owning Norwich-born friend in Northern Thailand.His bar is bedecked in yellow and green, he often talks of little else than City matters and his knowledge is intense, he watches every possible (broadcast) second he can. he promotes our club in his far-flung corner of the World.

Guest Posted May 26, 2015 Have to agree with Morty on this one even if it does assume every fan could afford a ticket + travel. I see myself as very fortunate to be in that position but don''t assume everybody else is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Katie Borkins 1 Posted May 26, 2015 If we had won the league, yeah, a parade would be great and fitting. If we had finished second - well, maybe. However, we came third and got through the playoffs, a parade feels a bit OTT.Why do we need a parade to "celebrate"? Weren''t we all celebrating yesterday, wherever we were?

In Dubious Battle 0 Posted May 26, 2015 Well I know of plenty. The pubs were packed in the city on Saturday. There were huge queues of people turned away from Carrow Road and thousands more stuck in queue''s on the Wednesday who did not get through. But obviously because all your mates got tickets it wasn''t an issue! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

morty 0 Posted May 26, 2015 [quote user="In Dubious Battle "]No I did not go, tickets sold out or did you miss that?[/quote]So why didn''t you check on here?There were countless threads offering tickets, including season ticket holders like myself, who got tickets for other people.You''re a member of a Norwich City forum, and never thought to check here?Sounds like you didn''t try very hard.

In Dubious Battle 0 Posted May 26, 2015 So happy for all the fans that got tickets for wembley and hope you all had a great day, it looked amazing to see the sea of yellow and green. Just don''t imply people unlucky enough not to get tickets are not real fans :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
In Dubious Battle 0 Posted May 26, 2015 Yes I tried, I thought of nothing else, but tens of thousands didn''t get tickets a few people offering them on a pink un forum was hardly going to satisfy demand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
