The whole point is that a great atmosphere from happy supporters when the players come out on the pitch is very likely to enhance our chances of that good performance, whilst making it somewhat more difficult for Hull! 🤦🏻♂️ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rock The Boat 1,332 Posted March 13, 2019 (edited) Has no one considered that Farke and Webber are to be sacked and the announcement is the long awaited return of the Messiah? Anyone apart from Big Vince, that is. Edited March 13, 2019 by Rock The Boat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
It's Character Forming 1,161 Posted March 13, 2019 My guess is the “low key” public attitude up till now reflects the fact that discussions have been ongoing in the background, but slowed by uncertainty as to which division we’ll be in next season and also I’m sure the Board have wanted to avoid it being a distraction for DF. if announced tonight it’s definitely a big deal and imo shows there’s no doubt the club want DF next season (however this one ends) and they’ve agreed how it will work if we are, or aren’t, promoted. thats my guess anyway.

I'm fixated on winning each game and it's stressing me out so anything that can distract from the importance of this game is good. Tho if I recall when they announced signing huckerby the next 90mins were as poor as I remember us playing 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grant Holts Moustache 105 Posted March 13, 2019 Heard on the grapevine that Farke and Webber had an overnight sortie into Suffolk to wrangle the Ipswich mascot Bluey. Farke is going to ride it round the Carra pre match to whip up the atmosphere and celebrate our 10 years of derby day dominance. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

westcoastcanary 173 Posted March 13, 2019 (edited) I imagine Hull City are already fired up by the idea of putting a dent in our promotion hopes. Having the opportunity to do it in the first game of DF's extended tenure would just give Atkins and his players more psychological ammunition. This sort of thing is fine if all goes well, but it doesn't look so clever if it doesn't. I'm with Lakey; if it is the announcement of an extended contract for DF, 15 mins before the start of an important match is not the time for it.

Big Vince 318 Posted March 13, 2019 Delia is selling the club to a foreign oil magnate who wants to re-install Mr Chase as executive chairman with a view to breaking into the Champions League within 2 years. They also want to demolish Carrow Road and build a new, purpose-built 45,000 seater stadium on the same site. Exciting times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great if he signs a new contract, but announce it at a press conference or just before one so you can get the reaction out of the way at a time that isn't so important. Tonight the focus should be the match, not the manager......anyway, who's to say the important announcement isn't about something entirely different......

Making Plans 936 Posted March 13, 2019 (edited) The players have managed to overcome pretty much everything that's been thrown at us this season, bar the lights going out, so I'm confident that a prematch announcement, whatever that might be about, will not make the slightest bit of difference to the focus, the performance or the result. As usual they will just take it in their stride and get on with the job. Edited March 13, 2019 by Making Plans 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JF 694 Posted March 13, 2019 I watched the Swansea game on the telly and it was noted by the commentators how edgy and nervous the atmosphere was and that it seemed to be effecting the players. Tonight the fans need to be behind the players creating a positive atmosphere from kick off. If this announcement enhances that then fantastic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mello Yello 2,296 Posted March 13, 2019 It's fairly obvious that Neppers Tom is to be appointed/crowned as the next Chairman of NCFC and he will also be handed those precious club reins off his Aunty - and from that very moment, he will be running the club....... That'll certainly fire the 26,000+ faithful up for this crucial game......Oh yeah....... 😉 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nuff Said 5,142 Posted March 13, 2019 Personally I’m hoping we’ve resigned the Doc. I doubt this is about Farke’s contract. They’ve asked people to be in their seats for 7:30 - how long does it take to say “Daniel Farke has signed a new contract”? I have friend who empties Webber’s cleaner’s aunty’s bins and they swear Spencer Tunick will be photographing the River End last game of the season. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spencer_Tunick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
