The Real Buh 3,486 Posted June 25, 2023 2 minutes ago, essex canary said: 'The financial situation is more stable?' Come on, we are the only repeatedly skint Football Club who has ever spent more than £100 million on Wages in a single season and by a long chalk. At the same time we are apparently justified in charging the highest admission prices in the EFL for finishing top of the bottom half allied to the Scrooge approach to shareholders who on first stab are offered no more than their money back after 20 years on a blatantly obselele scheme when that wage bill has increased up to 15 fold and could easily have been curtailed to deliver the ground expansion sorely needed. We need the likes of @Mello Yello and @The Real Buh on supporter representation duty. People who will adopt true Norfolk principles of calling a spade a spade Lol The only way I’d turn up to one of these events is if I can have a charity boxing match with Stuart Webber. All proceeds go to disaffected kids in Earlham who are afraid of hills or whatever he claims to be climbing(/getting dragged up in a oxygen tent by Sherpas) Everest for. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
essex canary 508 Posted June 25, 2023 Stone the Crows. We actually get to the same conclusion. Must be something to do with the Lion and the Castle! Let's hope the Executive Director for Vision and Strategy follows soon because as @Parma Ham's gone mouldy states there is no vision. Doubt whether we will get any tomorrow night especially when questions aren't submitted in advance and no Chairman or Non Execs present. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

essex canary 508 Posted June 25, 2023 Just now, Greavsy said: What's the point of going to a pub and drinking cans? Seriously. Quite. That is why I am likely to favour Spoons. Besides serving real ale it will be cheaper than paying them double the price for something, that whilst quite pleasant, I can drink at home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure why you think @TIL 1010is mate, as I'm sure he's told before we have never met, just our opinions on here concur some of the time. Certainly on your postings. That said I think most peoples opinions on here are similar on the topics you seem to struggle with but repeatedly raise. And I think most people's opinions of you are consistent and correct. Re the real ale, depends if you want a drink you enjoy or one based on cost. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Real Buh 3,486 Posted June 25, 2023 Can somebody give me a quick rundown on Essex Canary and why loads of people are mad at him? I have honestly no idea why all the aggyness, I’ve missed the boat on this one. Reading between the lines it’s something about shares? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIL 1010 4,815 Posted June 25, 2023 (edited) 2 hours ago, essex canary said: Craft ale comes in cans. It lasts months. So why have the club advertised that there will be a wall area where you will be able to pull your own pint ? Like our two Beer Walls, aka WonderWalls. They’re a heavenly sight: a whole wall of beers where you simply pay by card and pull your own pint. Just to add also that i have never met @Greavsy, don't know his name in the real world and wouldn't know him if i bumped into him.

Essex constantly goes on about shares in the club but instead of ignoring him some posters follow him around on here which makes it worse. If people that don't like his posts just ignored or blocked him it really wouldn't be that much of a problem. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
