Greavsy 2,413 Posted February 13, 2023 I'm renewing, its part of being a fan I guess. You NN?, I know you will be! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hogesar 9,671 Posted February 13, 2023 I think the fanbase at Carrow Road needs freshening up. Those who keep bleating online about not renewing, I really hope they follow through with it and give some enthusiastic new season ticket holders an opportunity to enjoy live football 🙂  3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Especially in the crucial lower Barclay position (though I do understand this is the hardest position to fill). Just wish we could show some ambition 3 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In reality I think i'm referred to as the Elmander, which may be to do with my flapping arms 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nutty nigel 7,534 Posted February 13, 2023 So yes I'm renewing. But Mrs Nutty wouldn't be best pleased if I spent all that money renewing something I may not use. I find the ongoing saga on the Pink Un of Lee Payne and his struggles about boycotting and renewing tedious. I wondered how many are like him. Having a season ticket yet seemingly unsure if they want to use it. Perhaps I'm just an old fossil who thought season ticket holders were the 'hardcore through thick and thin fans'. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

essex canary 496 Posted February 13, 2023 I never like buying anything and not getting value out of it. Maybe though some fans want the convenience of being able to go when they want and sit where they want but are not available for midweek matches or have family commitments at times etc. Maybe the Club could offer them a 12 or 15 game block ticket instead and free up more seats for waiting list or casual supporters?

With a waiting list for full season tickets i doubt the club sees a market for that. Have you wondered why the 1/2 season season tickets are no longer on sale?

Those who are on the waiting list may get more games which may help them retain their enthusiasm. 10 per cent more per game could perhaps be charged for the block option relative to standard season ticket whereas the casual price also attracts a higher per match yield. Would need a strong IT system to operate but more imaginative than the buy back scheme. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Google Bot 3,275 Posted February 13, 2023 (edited) Not a slightest hesitancy. I cancelled when we first had kids as just couldn't spare the time and felt a bit bad sodding off with the lads on Saturday and spending when money was tight.  WORST DECISION EVER!  It took me years to get back. It's just everything to me, I just could not go back to sitting by the radio wishing I was up there. I mean, football aside it's the social aspect too.

I’ve survived almost 20 years in my present seat and it’s only 600 smackers anyway innit ( wink ) The bean counters must have been wetting themselves with excitement in anticipation of a tsunami of renewals after Wagner’s first two League games but it’s all gone a bit ‘ Pete Tong ‘ just lately so anyone desperate for a season ticket should be in with a shout. I was told by the ticket office a few weeks ago there’s a 1000-strong waiting list. On current form that’s more likely to shrink than expand. As I’ve said on here I visit family in Norwich anyway so may as well do Carrow Rd at the same time but it’s definitely not the fun activity it used to be.     Edited February 13, 2023 by ......and Smith must score. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PockthorpePete 331 Posted February 13, 2023 i can understand the feelings of Master Pain. Has the club ever gone through such a bad patch ? Perhaps some of the old uns can remember a worse few months, but they might have to go back to the 50's. We seem unable to deliver instant and/or constant success, which is really what Master Pain and others expect. I should imagine some of those will not turn up, or if they do they will sit on the pitch after the game. Probably wondering what hairstyle to have next.

First Wazzock 902 Posted February 13, 2023 This coming season - due to the fact I'm an old fart - my ticket price has gone down. It would be foolish to give in now.               Next season I can watch more cack for less money,. Bonus 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pyro Pete 1,897 Posted February 13, 2023 (edited) Just a reminder that season ticket holders who can't attend a game, for any reason, can donate their ticket to the Norfolk Community Foundation. They then distribute the tickets to people who can't normally afford to come to the footy. https://www.canaries.co.uk/content/ticket-donation-option-now-available-for-season-tickets Edited February 13, 2023 by Pyro Pete 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
