Lessingham Canary 99 Posted July 25, 2017 Apparently we have over 2,000 season ticket holders in IP postcodes, so i have just been told.So just less than 10% of our average gate each week travel from IP postcodes, wonder how many do the reverse from NR to Poorman Rd ? also if they had been able to capture these fans at an early age their ST sales would be 20 - 25% higher than they are now.So thats what 16 years in the championship can do to you, and just goes to prove the stars count for nothing!!

nat_canaries 0 Posted July 25, 2017 as much as i love the thought of swarms of yellow and green getting the train from the waste dump, most of the villages from dereham to thetford have an ip post code so i would imagine the vast majority of them come from there.

Faded Jaded Semi Plastic SOB 1,023 Posted July 25, 2017 Places such as Beccles, Bungay and Lowestoft have an NR post code. I work in Lowestoft, based on that experience I would say the split between Norwich fans and Ippo fans is about 60/40 in favour of Norwich...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,748 Posted July 25, 2017 I live in Dereham, you couldnt be more centrally in Norfolk with a NR19 postcode....3 miles up the road in Shipdham is an IP postcode , so you can only read so much in this....probably a third of Norfolk falls under that particular dark sign?

nutty nigel 7,528 Posted July 25, 2017 If it''s the same then just less than 10% of a small gate is pretty insignificant anyway. I know of the market twins.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill 1,788 Posted July 25, 2017 I think the young gutbucket (binner) who was thrown out of Carrow Road during the last derby game has a father who owns a firework shop in Norwich.(I believe he supplies fireworks for suffolks binfire nights) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CANARYKING 637 Posted July 25, 2017 We have a small Supporters club in Halesworth Suffolk. The town used to be 50/50 with the binners but a considerable number of them have said they have not renewed so we are now in the majority. A few of us have been going to CR for over thirty years, I have had a season ticket since the early 60''s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gamera 0 Posted July 25, 2017 There is actually quite a few of us that travel up from Ipswich. I always see about ten on the train. My work has at least 5 of us too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mutley 74 Posted July 25, 2017 I''m surprised that there are not more than 2k season ticket holders in the IP postcode as much of south Norfolk has (as has been pointed out) that postcode. I only live 8 miles from binner land and obviously have an IP postcode. I have three season tickets, one for my father who introduced the fine city to me and my son who we trained in the yellow way. We have some interesting conversations with the posties here! One is a forest fan so he''s OK. I love the day each year when I take my dividend cheque from my NCFC shares into the local bank and see the expression on the face of the cashier. Some binner locals around me have not renewed their season tickets this year after 30+ years, there is talk that they might not manage 10k season tickets this year. I live opposite someone who worked for the club for many years and he told me that when seats are broken they no longer replace them with new ones but utilise existing seats from the corners of the ground. That''s why the play off semi with us never reached their full capacity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lessingham Canary 99 Posted July 25, 2017 Just for clarification, someone told me it was just over 2,000, could be 3k ? That would explain why we would pay for a bill board in 1p5wich, would be a waste of money if it was the other way round?. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
