Ginja 26 Posted January 16, 2017 Yes of course I would go, how many fans will go a lifetime and never have the opportunity to see their club at Wembley? In 2015 I got to see my club not just at Wembley but winning and lifting a trophy, you can''t miss moments like that as a fan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

morty 0 Posted January 16, 2017 Nothing hugely sinister about the thread, it was patently obvious as to where it was going.In these times of people moaning about prices being too high for cup games, season ticket increases that never happened, boycotts, non renewal etc, the thread was just to see if people who don''t go to matches, for whatever reason, would suddenly cherry pick a big one if it came along, a few didn''t let me down.Its about a lot of fickle that has spread to our fanbase. "Worst time ever as a Norwich City fan?" Give over. Its been far, far worse than this.I wonder how many will suddenly be interested again if Arsenal come to Carrow road?

hogesar 9,671 Posted January 16, 2017 Things have been way way worse than they are now but I guess people''s attitudes are a reaction to the massive turn from being a prem club to being top of the league in the championship to being midtable fodder in the championship in relegation format. That topped with the Delia interview regarding ownership (which was generally correct but probably the wrong time to air those views) has created a level of disillusionment which doesn''t quite match the real position of the club.
