A fair few of my family back there in E Anglia are actually from south of the border and binner fans (fair enough - they can’t help where they are from!). I know some of their fans gave up their s/t and now that fortunes have turned can’t get tickets to games very often. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He’s definitely a 16 year old prepubescent spotty kid with specs who resides in a w**king den in his mums spare room in foxton. Believe it or not CC once wrote on here that a relative took him to a match in the early 90’s. Maybe he’s not Norwich’s answer to Ipswich Crazy after all…..

TheBaldOne66 723 Posted October 26, 2023 9 hours ago, hogesar said: Well, it doesn't have to be 3 years. It's just a number, a safety net. We could be in League One in 3 years time. We could be in the prem. Last time things were this up in the air we won the title with players none of us had heard of. I think you gave your season ticket up for that season. Which is completely your right. And the OP is entitled to feel however he wants and talking about it is unlikely to change - if he leaves and never comes back that will be sad, but this is football and absolutely nothing is guaranteed. I gave up my season ticket because of the cost , and the year after I went to work abroad for the first time so would have given it up then anyway. There is absolutely no chance of repeating that success with this current crop of players. The difference was they worked for each other and because of where they came from, most from German lower leagues, they wanted it more because of the chance they’d been given. Not many of the current squad have that fire in their belly do they? Yes, we could be in the EPL or league one in 3 years, who knows, you totally overlook the point though, which other club drags out a takeover in this manner? It will be 3 years plus the 18 months since MA first came on board so 4 1/2 years. That is not normal however you try and spin it. In fact, we are very lucky that MA is sticking around that long, if indeed he does, because most people would say **** it and walk away. It’s just another example of the current owners reluctance to let go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But worryingly I do think the absolute rottenness of the premiership and the modern game is gradually corroding the sport. I respect anyone’s choice to wave goodbye Yes. This. The overall horrendousness of modern football makes it much more likely that you'll feel "what is the point" when your team is a bit rubbish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grant resigned later that week. FA Cup 3rd Round and subsequent replay against Charlton under Roeder were pretty awful. Charlton hadn’t won for months from memory until we came riding to their rescue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s just another example of the current owners reluctance to let go. I am genuinely worried this will end up being the case. Remember “the Turners”. i remember reading a rare interview with Robert Chase from maybe 10 years or so ago, where he was asked if he’d have done anything differently with the benefit of hindsight. His reply was that he simply wished he’d understood that everybody and everything had a shelf life and that he wished he’d realised that before dragging things out. Delia and Michael need to do the same. If they cared like they say they do, they would look to sort the takeover 100% as swiftly as possible surely. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

benchwarmer 625 Posted October 27, 2023 (edited) I got out years ago, well before the rot had really set in. Why? Because I could see that the root of the problem lay in the boardroom and was sick of hearing fans with their heads in the sand calling for the manager's head every five minutes, as though that would somehow solve it. By helping to fill the stadium no matter what, in the name of 'loyalty', I was part of the problem. I'd been going to CR since 1967 so it wasn't easy at first, but I've never regretted it.
