Will our game on Sunday go ahead ?

[GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,800]

Jesus....its 45 mins of football...watch the first half in the bar and the the second half on your phones during the first half of norwich v millwall

How did this country ever win 2 world wars?!?

...as Roy Keane would say...'babies'..

[Canary Wundaboy 1,360]

I'll be watching the Women's World Cup final with my daughter over watching Norwich. I can watch us play Millwall every ducking season.

First of all, phone signal in Carrow road, have you ever actually been?

second of all, people that watch their phones while a games going on? That’s a low IQ “I play FIFA” moment right there.

Well listen to it on the radio...

It takes all sorts I suppose but England Women could be playing a World Cup Final on my front lawn and I would still be off to CR.

I hope they win but it wouldn't  cross my mind for an instant to watch that instead of NCFC.

I can't see how this is any sort of dilemma but as I said , it takes all sorts.

Watch the first half in the bar...and the second half on BBC I player in the stands. 

Or watch the whole game in the bar and watch the 2nd half of norwich v millwall in the stands

Theres a way...theres a choice

For some , its not even a consideration that this game should be affected in anyway

It has already has been affected, it was meant to be on Saturday, now it is Sunday, presumably so people can watch it in a bar/on a phone/from an armchair/on a train/whilst taking a dump etc, etc, etc........

From a purely selfish point of view I'll be gutted if its moved, I have a family event on the Saturday so was delighted it was moved to the Sunday as it means I can go. Similarly I have to take my daughter to Stanstead in the evening so a delay of a couple of hours again means non attendance of the match.

I get why people want it changed, but it holds zero interest for me (no I'm not one of these female game haters it just bores me) hence why I never join in the discussions on the woman's version of the game the same as I don't F1, as I don't understand those who have to pick on it and compare it to the men. 

From a purely selfish point of view, I hope it is moved. I won't be in the country so will miss the game anyway, and with it being impossible to move to a different day at this short notice (and also tricky to put back a few hours as well), it would benefit me massively if it were moved. 

If it's not moved, I've got a straight choice between watching the England game or the Norwich match, and I'll definitely choose the latter. Club before country every time.

In World War I, the Allies secured victory by leveraging their industrial and numerical advantages, coordinating their efforts effectively, and exploiting the Central Powers' weaknesses.

In World War II, the Allies won through combined military strategy, technological innovation, superior industrial production, and the determination to defeat Axis aggression on multiple fronts, ultimately leading to the collapse of Axis powers' military and economic capabilities.

Hope that helps.

Don't forget the help from the French resistence, America, Russia, Polish resistence and many others.

Life is built on choices, sometimes things happen at the same time as other things. 

Last year some non-football-versed friends booked an escape room at the same time as Cardiff H. Did that instead, got a record time. Such is life.

You forgot to mention my dad in 1940, standing behind one strand of barbed wire on Skegness beach with a carving knife taped to a broom handle.

I'm  sure it made a difference

And sometimes Sky move games with a massive lack of foresight creating a situation that didn’t need to exist at all.

Oh, OK. If that's what it is to you then **** it, it's just another item in the TV listings.

I can't stand Rugby Union, but if England make the final I will understand it's a justifiably massive event and not just something on the TV.

And I will reiterate, it's not just the "TV audience"; Norwich City season ticket holders are the ones who are most annoyed about the clash. 

Well it appears to me you're annoyed at me about the clash. You don't get to have a say on what I like to watch on tv just like I don't get a say on when games I've brought a ticket for are played.

As it's a completely different sport

 

A different sport?  All governed by the FA? Surely it's the same sport just a different different competition.

 

Given how infrequently we make world finals in our most watched national sport a delay would be reasonable.   

 

However I agree that the game or ko time is unlikely to be moved.

No, I've never claimed to. What an odd response to my post. But not surprising, given the brazen, and slightly smug, lack of empathy.

I really doubt Sky have moved our game with Millwall for the viewing audience. And now apart from us and them, nobody else will be watching us either.

And as much as you do not have or like Sky etc, they are the ones paying the bills. Well £40M this season. Ask the board what they would prefer.

 

And there it is.

Do you know all this TV money has done nothing to add value to anything in my life. Do you enjoy games more because sky etc pay the bill? I certainly don't. Did you enjoy watching Wes Hoolahan more than Tommy Bryceland because he was paid more money? Is the value of supporting your football team now dependent on other people's money?

Why do you ask questions to which you know the answer? Seems a peculiar use of your time. Why not find something more enjoyable to do? There's a World Cup on, for a start.
