king canary 7,606 Posted August 7, 2021 It's deeply cringey. I'm also intrigued by their fans insisting the club will make loads of money from extracshirt sales due to this... 1- I thought the money from shirt sales largely goes to the people who make the shirts. 2- While Sheeran clearly has a huge number of fans, I'm not sure that large a % of them are so desperate for anything Ed that they'll spend £50 on a football shirt for a team they have no interest in.

Deptford Yellow 258 Posted August 7, 2021 Ghastly cheap cringy gimmick - I would be embarrassed if Norwich did something similar ... worse than that other gimmick where the number 12 shirt is given ‘to the fans’ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,657 Posted August 7, 2021 I’ll stick with my opinion - horrendously cringey. It might be one thing if he were just a supporter, sponsoring a shirt kind-of-thing, but he’s the main club sponsor - it’s like it is all they’ve got. Embarrassing.

alex_ncfc 662 Posted August 7, 2021 Would they have had to have gone through the Football League to ratify giving him a squad number? Imagine the poor sod who had to make that phone call. Cringe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Angry 1,561 Posted August 7, 2021 Just checked Ed’s discography to see if he had released any appropriate songs. ’South of the Border’ and ‘You Need Me, I Don’t Need You’. 🤣🤣🤣 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

horsefly 4,300 Posted August 7, 2021 If he has been given an official squad number does that not mean there is one fewer place for a professional player registered in the squad for the coming season? If so I would be mightily unhappy if I was in the academy or U23 player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill 1,788 Posted August 7, 2021 a farmhand writes " These players must learn tomorrow that this really is a club with a great fanbase, with a history, that the murals they walk past actually mean something. Something that clubs like Reading and QPR and Rotherham and Charlton and even Naarwich have never had. They need to understand that playing for Ipswich is a real step up in their careers and that they have to elevate their game to heights they have not reached before, because this is the best club they have ever played for " that is a fine example of the demented delusion that still exists among these rural retards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

First Wazzock 902 Posted August 7, 2021 It must be another great watch today. They are 0-1 down with the only shot on target of the first half. Even with the turn over of players they have had, I'm still not convinced they are going up this year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
horsefly 4,300 Posted August 7, 2021 Great quote from TWTD: "Alright, we’re 1-0 down (rubbish defending for the goal) and we’ve not tested their keeper, but that felt so much better than watching us last year." The very definition of desperation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
