Hoola Han Solo 448 Posted December 28, 2018 1 hour ago, Puntino said: Ah I see this whole debate has been ignited again. Brilliant. For clarity. 1. The full 200 additional flags, plus a load more, were laid out on Boxing Day. If anyone thinks 50 or 60 were being waved a swift trip to the opticians is in order. You can't make people wave them, but I'd estimate between 400-500 were in the Barclay. 2. We are ambitious, but have to work within the parameters the club have set us. Anyone who wants to know more is welcome to answer specific questions if you like. We have out many suggestions out there which can't happen for various reasons, but we'd be disappointed if the Lower Barclay wasn't full of flags by the end of the season. 3. Til - you really do seem to like to comment on what we're not doing/achieving. If you have suggestions, please let us know. 4. We're always after volunteers to help put out and collect flags pre match and at half time. Get in touch if you'd like to help. Much love OTBC TIL obviously has a personal vendetta against one or more of the lads involved. I wouldn’t worry too much; just a grumpy old man. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I may be wrong but I believe the Barclay End Norwich have something to do with the Norwich City Supporters Trust which Til1010 has some sort of bizarre grudge against so it's no great suprise. They never stood a chance. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes you are very wrong about the Barclay End Norwich group, its not connected with or run by the Canaries Trust, they are two seperate groups Edited December 28, 2018 by Diane Spelling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duncan Edwards 2,190 Posted December 28, 2018 I’m fairly sure that I read somewhere that while the two organisations are separate entities; BEN and CT have an agreement to work together and that BEN are invited to Trust meetings. Obviously, I could be wrong... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Obviously, I could be wrong... I can confirm that the Barclay End Norwich ( formerly the Barclay End) Project are part of the umbrella of supporters associations along with Proud Canaries and Forces2Canaries which work together with the Canaries Trust (not the Norwich City Supporters Trust David) for the benefit of all fans who want to be involved. They all attend regular meetings, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I stand corrected if that's the case Duncan, I thought that David Sewell was suggesting that the scarves/flag project was organised by the Trust ,whereas I thought its Barclay End Norwich & Along Come Norwich who have organised that ?? Edited - Just saw Kathy's post, after I posted mine, so realise I had got that wrong, apologies, I knew Proud & Forces were co - opted onto the Trust board, but didn't realise that Barclay End Norwich were too.

East Rider 538 Posted December 29, 2018 Looking forward to another display by the Barclay end this afternoon from our vantage point. If you look at the players when they run out now most of them have a good look at that colourful show of support, and it must give them a buzz. Keep up the good work and get them flags raised high.

River End Canary 18 Posted December 29, 2018 Cheap and embarrassing flags probably paid about 5p for them in a sweat shop somewhere at least invest in some decent quality if we must be a tin pot club just a matter of time before we have a drummer at this rate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is just silly and childish. All the flags are made with the appropriate fire certificated materials. Come and join us in the Barclay for a game, wave a flag, then tell us they're poor quality. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Puntino 75 Posted December 29, 2018 Amazing. Please do. All of the flags and poles are club approved, but if you wish to waste your time (and the club's while we're at it) then go ahead. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Splendid Rush 2 Posted December 30, 2018 Til is very quiet today. I'm sure he'd find something to whine about. Enough flags for you Til? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Il Pirata 249 Posted December 30, 2018 I thought the flags looked a little ‘tin pot’ when there were only a few. They looked too small and a token gesture that generated more laughs from the visiting supporters than atmosphere. However, now there is far more of them, more variety, and combined with scarf day, I have to say it looks fantastic. This sort of display definitely improves the atmosphere and fan experience inside Carrow Road. It’s a much better display currently on offer at any other championship ground. I really like it and hope it continues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jonncfc 28 Posted December 30, 2018 Excellent effort yesterday from all concerned. Good idea to spread them further across The Barclay rather than concentrating them in a smaller area - better overall effect. Although most people seem to know that the flags need to be collected in at half-time I have seen one or two individuals trying to hang on to them. Hope most were returned and not too many damaged.

East Rider 538 Posted December 30, 2018 The display from the River end looked excellent, especially with the centre one aloft. Permanent flags over exposed walls etc would be a positive addition and add to the display. As I said before, the players obviously notice this when the emerge from the tunnel and it certainly helps with the atmosphere. Good effort all round. Onwards and upwards. Or rather across and upwards.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do agree re the effect just a drummer to be added, pipe some chanting sounds down the PA system to improve the atmosphere and we will have officially turned into the footballing equivalent of sports direct if that is what the fans want so be it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Il Pirata gets it which was exactly what i said at the outset when the crowd funding reached £4,200. When i recently said it had improved it was lost in a wave of poster bashing with David Sewelll even suggesting it was a vendetta i had against the Canaries Trust in order that he continued to stir the pot by mentioning Barclay End Fans Group and their connection to it !. Had he bothered to post facts he would have seen that every single social media post on all platforms including the Crowdfunding page was under the name of Along Come Norwich from day one.

kk110 15 Posted December 30, 2018 So it’s ACN you have a vendetta against - why spoil it for everyone else then with ill informed and inaccurate posts - I guess you will be meeting up with River End Canary for your 2 man March on the Club and Council to have them banned - Will one of you be taking a drum?
