Well b back 3,186 Posted April 16, 2021 Remembering back a couple of years to that night v Blackburn has had me thinking all week about how Carrow Road would be celebrating tomorrow night assuming promotion is achieved. I am sure we would have had the roll out of the cardboard clappers, and maybe the Barclay flags all around the ground. The ground would be rocking, so although I can’t wait for 8 tomorrow night, it will be tinged with sadness that we are not there. Tuesday night could have been even better, with the possibility of the league trophy being presented. I wonder if Sky with their crowd recordings will have our promotion song ‘ going up up up ‘ in the background. Being up here in the Midlands I will be watching at home, where will the rest of you be ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ncfcstar 287 Posted April 16, 2021 Shame we all can't be there, it would be a fantastic atmosphere, especially an 8pm KO on a Saturday night. We could easily already be promoted by half 2 tomorrow afternoon though, and if Watford drop points, a draw on Tuesday away from winning the title. In front of the TV watching the Sky broadcast for me, iFollow is perfectly fine but when you are the featured game on Sky it's a notch above. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you're paying full price for their sports package yes, but I don't think I've ever paid full price for it, they are always happy to reduce the price if you enter a contract.

I get your point - which a proves they overcharge to start with. If they reduced prices for all, and had a level structure, im sure more people would sign up. and secondly they will still be dearer than Ifollow which whilst free for ST's is a tenner a game when paid. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course, and I agree for NCFC specifically it works out cheaper to just use iFollow (especially as a season ticket holder)! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonyc 5,489 Posted April 16, 2021 Because of lockdown and the rules for household mixing until recently outdoors, I've only just received my Xmas present from my mother-in-law, a nice break bottle of prosecco. It has been chilled all this week in preparation for Saturday night! Sad not to be part of going to matches but I'm sure this forum will be a wild celebratory mood around 10pm tomorrow and I look forward to raising a glass or two to posters.🙂 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had a glass of prosecco at midnight on New Year's Eve and haven't touched a drop since. That may change tomorrow evening too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Giving up the booze is one of the best things I've ever done Paddyo, by giving up, I mean it's no longer my "go to " drink after 6 pm. I shall have a few bottles of excellent Czech lager chilled ,of which I will crack the first around 7-45 tomorrow, so I am fully feeling that lovely pinch in the back of my neck by kick off. Not drinking most days makes the days you do have a jar all the more pleasurable. I hope you really enjoy the match whether you have a bevvy or not. A few beers every few weeks has made me enjoy it even more and I don't seem to miss it the rest of the time...it was just a habit that I had fallen into.

Capt. Pants 4,195 Posted April 16, 2021 Feeling quite depressed not being able to go to the match and enjoy the pre match festivities. In days gone by it would have meant late afternoon drinks, post match beers and probably a curry. Suppose it will be iFollow, a few beers and the Pinkun matchday thread! It's not right and it's not football whatever the outcome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's Character Forming 1,160 Posted April 16, 2021 Good post @Well b back. I'm actually on holiday , staying in some self catering accommodation in Cornwall we booked last summer. We booked 2 weeks and one week was before the 12th but at least we got the second week. So will be watching it on Sky in Cornwall😀. It was such a privilege to be able to see City get promoted vs Blackburn last time and a real shame no one can see it live but at least it’s on Sky for us all to watch. Not counting my chickens about it happening Tomorrow mind ! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well b back 3,186 Posted April 16, 2021 Thanks everyone, clearly would have been a great night even if we don’t go up tomorrow. Assuming success tomorrow we will see if new goals have been set, based on the celebration levels of the players. Will they be told no major celebrating until the title is won or maybe until 100 points achieved. I wonder which day Kenny will be declared Mayor for this year ?

I don't think I'm off the beer permanently but I don't really miss it. It's easier with the pubs closed because I do enjoy a pint of porter on occasion. And when I properly dust off the bbq in the very near future I'll struggle without something in the hand. I got some top notch Helles beers in for Christmas and they're still in the fridge - unheard of! Like I said, tomorrow might well be the first gargle of the year! I suspect the lads will want to get the job done. Should make for a good game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Juler 148 Posted April 16, 2021 With the school Easter holidays for us in Buckinghamshire a week later than Norfolk we've spent the last 4 nights in a chalet near Caister-on-Sea so to visit family, some who we've not seen for over a year. It was only this evening driving towards Trowse on the A146 and seeing the signs for County Hall and Norwich City Football Club that it really clicked what we're all potentially going to miss tomorrow night. Instead of arriving about now either at my parents in Lowestoft, or the in-laws in Dereham, with all the anticipation of seeing friends and going to the match (and hopefully celebrating late into the evening), I'm now back in High Wycombe for a night of Sky Sports tomorrow. I suppose it's a bit of an insight as to what it's like to be a supporter of a big team, someone who only watches games on TV. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
