If Alex Neil stays, I quit.

The season tickets I have held for over 10 years will end, enough is enough.I shall dust down the armchair and moan from there when I feel the need.And I know I am not the only one, no matter what some might say.Who else feels this strong?

You''ve probably had the most exciting ten years in NCFC history did you but know it.

No where near the most exiting 10 years in our history. 84-94 wipes the floor with it

If you really had a season ticket for 10 years then you have stuck around for Grant, Roeder and Gunn. I am amazed that anybody thinks our current situation is somehow worse than those days.

But then, you could just be another troll I guess.

It''s not about when the going gets tough, it''s about the arogance of the board and their backing of a clueless manager over the fans.

It boils down to two types of scenario for me.

Are you a loyal supporter who will follow City through thick (as you have been party to for the past 10 bandwagon-jumping years) and thin (ask Ricky and the old fellers about Divison 3 South and re-election)?

Or are you someone who wants value for money and who''s level of expectation is inherent to the modern fan and who gets overly worked up about things you have zero chance of influencing?

If it''s the latter then take your hard earned cash, get a Sky Sports subscription and Naff Off to watch Chelsea or Barcelona if you want regular gratification.

You forgot to mention finishing 3rd in the premier league and competing in the uafa cup. Far more exiting

At least Dibblers calling it as it is for him. There''s a lot of others who have obviously stopped going at some point. Would be interesting to hear what their tipping point was.

No there is a third option, having been here through thick& thin since 1977, I would like to say I''ve changed from a supporter to a customer as the club has driven this forward.

Gone are the days of fans being a valued asset to a pain in the arse, as it''s the tv money which is the holy grail.

After nearly 30 years of season ticket this is my last as I''ve had enough of the corporate Norwich City, unlike the club I started and followed home & away over the years.

Delia has a dislike for the Best Fans In The World, they are just part of the grand scheme of owning a club, nights like last night must drive her mad, 10 thousand fans chanting Delia sort it out!

I can understand the sentiment to be honest. The current board and their sentimental loyalty to a failing manager is just so massively frustrating. Seeing us underperform and waste an opportunity is far more frustrating than watching us when we genuinely had very few decent players.
