Thirsty Lizard 3,171 Posted April 6, 2019 With respect I think people are missing the point a bit on this thread. We already know that Diesel lorries and vehicles aren't going to be allowed this year at the Lord Mayor's procession. It would look like double standards if our heroes were allowed to parade the Championship trophy through the city centre streets on a smelly, polluting diesel bus. Unless somebody comes up with an electric bus and quick there might not be any parade at all. 😉 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Positive, yes, but not ahead of themselves. Even Michael Bailey was talking about it the other day. Reading will likely be a much tougher game than today, I hope those that are going are ready for a tough match. What material difference will it make to anyone if they aren't grounded? Wasn't it against Hull the fans started chucking a hat around near the dug out and that co-incided with Hull scoring? A small incident, but fans do need to keep it real - it was that Michael Bailey was talking about after that match. I'm fed up with people telling me fans don't make a difference by the way they are at a match. If a crowd is nervous it will transmit to players. If they are over confident and distracted, that can transmit to players, the best crowds are where people are are confident, focussed and up for the battle and not taking anything for granted. It's how the players need to be and it is how Farke likes it to be too. Dream, yes, but it is only a dream until you make it happen and fans can help that.

JF 694 Posted April 6, 2019 (edited) I think the only way LDC will change his stance on this matter is if everyone who feels we are promoted suddenly changes their minds... Edited April 6, 2019 by JF 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Points are there to be won....by any team at any time. People were ridiculously negative about things at the beginning of the season and I simply responded to that - in the same way I am respondiong to those who talk as if promotion is done and dusted. I say stay in the present and enjoy that.....and that isn't rocket science either! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hoola Han Solo 448 Posted April 6, 2019 LDC always takes the opposite viewpoint to create a bit of drama and attention for himself. If we were ten points off the automatics he’d be relentlessly telling us we could still do it, and bemoaning anybody that realistically knew we couldn’t do it. The majority of Norwich fans know we’ve done it - there’s no way we’re mucking it up now. I’m already looking forward to the Premier League in August - and yes, the parade too. I reckon it’ll be on a weekday a week after the last game. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Essjayess 307 Posted April 7, 2019 I kind of agree with Lakey, but for me its more about who will become Champions. I really think Leeds will not come to close to us now, they have a very sticky run in. But Chris Wilder will get his Blades team pumped and looking at their run in, can see them closing the gap to us quicker than some may think possible. Lets say, im very optimistic we will get promoted and fairly optimistic about us being Champions, but even with a current 7 point gap, we need to grab points in nearly all the final 6 games.

......and Smith must score. 1,355 Posted April 7, 2019 18 hours ago, lake district canary said: It's nigh on sensational what has transpired this season, but I'll enjoy it as it happens. I think ' nigh on ' is being a bit cautious LDC To be fair I remember spivvy opportunists flogging ' Brighton Champions ' scarves for a tenner outside Carrow Rd a couple of years ago. Three games left and they needed a point to clinch it. We beat them 2-0 and Newcastle went on to nick it. Not that'll happen to us of course.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would be very surprised if either closed the gap by much, a point or two at best, and I would venture the probability is on us increasing that gap by the time we have finished at Villa.
