cambridgeshire canary 6,802 Posted December 28, 2021 Who it seems enjoy flying to London from Norwich.. After all that sure is very environmentally friendly 😉 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sooty57 403 Posted December 28, 2021 As far as I'm concerned he can hire a private Jumbo Jet if it meant he would actually perform when he got here. Sadly, a pretty uninspiring substitute cameo seems to be the best we can hope for. 🙄 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Worthy Nigelton 1,066 Posted December 28, 2021 I take a dim view of this. Not a good look for any club to fly that distance. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flying such short distances is a shocking waste of resources and emission of pollution. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,230 Posted December 28, 2021 Before we judge it very well could be a COVID precaution to limit everyone being close together for a much shorter period Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thirsty Lizard 3,183 Posted December 28, 2021 Two games in 48 hours - three games in 144 hours - injury crisis - players trying to recover from Covid. Under normal circumstances I would be dead against flying such short distances, but I think I'll cut them a bit of slack on this occasion. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Making Plans 940 Posted December 28, 2021 No doubt all those who are critical take their petrol/diesel car to the shop half a mile away, have a house full of Christmas tree lights on for a month, have umpteen gadgets to charge up every day and are currently sitting at home with the heating on.

Ear's sum maffs from a com...plane...er... It'll actually be 2 flights as they fly to Gatwick and back, and they're due back at Norwich around 20.00 hrs this evening..... The club and board have a long history of using charter flights to away games more than quite a few times a season.....even when we were in the Championship.....just semantics.... The NCFC board may use a smaller chartered jet on the day of the away game, but that's if they don't travel on the Squad's larger overnight stay charter aircraft, to some destinations as near as Norwich to Doncaster Airport when playing the likes of Barnsley, Rotherham, Sheffield Utd & Wednesday etc.....Or Norwich to East Midlands airport for Leicester etc.....Manchester for Utd & City and John Lennon for Liverpool & Everton..... But I suppose by using those convenient short hops in Chartered jets their carbon footprints are much smaller than the empty Team coaches that have to do the journey as well?.....Or maybe not?....Not bad for a penny-wise self sufficient club eh?..... Anyway, it's team news soon with a bit o' Canary Call.... Then it's Amazon Prime for the match.....I probably have around a size eleven carbon footprint.... Feel free to criticise if my observations are unwarranted, uncomfortable or incorrect?......Anyway....Game on!..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
