lappinitup 629 Posted June 15, 2017 Or so says Ian Butterworth........"The thing is the Norwich fans are getting louder and louder. They’re more vicious probably then when we played! They’re adamant they want to see their side back in the Premier League, so like most football clubs he’ll need a good start. It’s a tough, tough league but hopefully it works out.”http://www.edp24.co.uk/norwich-city-s-continental-path-can-bear-fruit-so-says-their-former-captain-ian-butterworth.So we''re not Happy Clappers anymore then?

Tumbleweed 106 Posted June 15, 2017 If Ian Butterworth thinks City fans are vicious he needs to get out more. I''ve been to many, many grounds and we are a beacon of peace and tranquillity compared to a lot of other club''s supporters. But surely all fans want their team in the highest league possible? Isn''t that sort of the point? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,509 Posted June 15, 2017 I guess it depends whether hes talking about supporters in the stadium or fans on social media. There''s a huge difference in attitudes between the two and he didn''t really have the latter to contend with in his day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

djc 0 Posted June 15, 2017 Perhaps he thinks the fans are vicious, as two "fans" walked up to the dug out and threw their season tickets at him and Gunny when Colchester Utd once came to play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sometimes it''s like a morgue unless we are 2 of 3 goals to the good. But that''s not just our supporters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That immediately drew a contrast with Norwich where those behind the scenes here make plenty of mistakes and that is why we never establish in the EPL, but the likes of Burnley have every department functioning at optimum level in order to retain EPL their status.Verdict: Delia and Wynnie will always hold the club back because they are no good at owning a professional football club.

lake district canary 4,531 Posted June 17, 2017 The inference Nutty makes is there though Greavsy. Nutty plainly feels strongly about the subject, as he has a right to of course, if that is how he feels. So pushing him on it is only going to make things worse. I agree with you about the board, it has improved and less driven by angst and conrontation, barring the occasional skirmishes, but imo it''s best not to rub salt into wounds!

Greavsy 2,412 Posted June 17, 2017 Totally agree LDC, and would point out that it''s not myself who keeps raising the matter and posting false & unfounded allegations.As per my previous statement, no further comments required from me, and just wish people kept it honest.

Norfolk Mustard 94 Posted June 17, 2017 Thankfully I have no idea what you''re all talking about! The board has indeed been more enjoyable of late; all that silly in-fighting got in the way of proper football-related stuff... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,509 Posted June 17, 2017 Yes the inference is there Lakey. And you''re honest enough to say so. Even if some of you agree about continually joyfully making reference to a banned poster you will see elsewhere that I''m not alone in my view. I have perfectly good reasons for feeling the way I do which I''ve stated often enough in the past. The people who wanted the poster gone have now got the board they wanted. So maybe they could have the good grace to accept it without the continual jibes. Unless of course they are missing what they were so sure wouldn''t.Thanks Lakey. You have always been an honest poster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
