Uncle Fred 526 Posted May 17, 2021 The strength of Norwich is that it’s a club steeped in the local community what is alarming is this new international membership category we are not Man Utd with their legions of plastic fans from abroad. This will only lead to a worrying invasion of plastic fans at the club 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good luck! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are the international memberships hereditary, and able to be passed on to a family member or friend in the event of the untimely demise of the international member, or should the purchaser check the terms and conditions before parting with their substantial wedge? 😜🙈 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,743 Posted May 17, 2021 (edited) Have to say the ticketing site is a bit crap - I have £25 on my son’s account so was going to use for his new membership, but the renewal includes £1.50 of fees. It doesn’t seem to want to ‘obviously’ allow for me to use the ‘on account’ balance and to pay the difference...I had to log out and in again to be able to checkout. Daft.

I recommend checking out whether the funds are to be retained on the Balance Sheet or written off to the Income and Expenditure Account?

Graham Paddons Beard 2,471 Posted May 18, 2021 I'm being thick here so apologies in advance. The away membership is based on the assumption that everything goes back to "normal" in August. All grounds will be at full capacity, will have to offer 10% of their capacity to away supporters, travel to away games will not be classed as unnecessary travel, and no covid passporting/ proof of inoculation will apply? My son is 29 and lives in London. Odds of him having 2 jabs by August are slim I would say? Have I got this right , or is there some caveats on this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the sale of the memberships and tickets is all subject to government restrictions applicable at the time. Whatever they may be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't blame them for trying to get a small amount of dosh coming in. Presumably the away membership means you can try and go to one away game or all 19? Nothing is guaranteed. Could have waited until June 21st though when we might have a bit more idea of what restrictions will remain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You need to wait until next week to see Dominic Cummings explain what government policy should have been from the outset and will be from now on...🤩 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corbs 147 Posted May 18, 2021 I live in east London and actually the last game I went to was at the Orient. The locals had a long standing joke there as every week they used to out a “West HAM” fan who slipped in the watch the 0s. Often wondered how many regulars/season ticket holders at Carra support other sides, especially when the prem come to town. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
