Hopefully someone will say how they ended up driving through a large group of Ipswich fans in the wrong place. Is your hatred of Delia that bad that you can't accept that they were not the problem? They should be able to go to games without being put in danger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think a fan chucked a can at their car, if that was putting them in danger then that was their mistake or the police if they told them to follow the Ipswich coach in. Apparently they were told to go in with the Norwich coach and didn't want to , but that could be false also. By Ipswich fans acounts the only people in danger were the fans in front of the car.

Big Vince 318 Posted January 6 2 hours ago, hogesar said: All I can is so far the list of posters basically advocating intimidating behaviour towards an elderly couple isn't a surprising one. If the same event had happened to my grandparents (some on here think that is the case anyway to be fair, so that's the IQ we're dealing with) I would be demanding a public apology from whoever was representative of the group that caused it. In this case its a football club. @Sufyellow is determined to some reason distract with some other events our fans have caused which I've never heard about. If what he is saying is true those fans should be banned but in this case we have actual video footage and nothing has seemingly been done. As Jim said, even with video footage, this was a nothing incident. Compared to the rampant hooliganism of the 70s and 80s there was nothing of concern there. If Delia was shaken by a beer can and then wants to go and blow it out of all proportion by demanding a public apology then she's led a very sheltered life. Before opening her mouth, she would have done better by reflecting on Ibrox, Heysel and Hillsborough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it happened to me I wouldn't be shaken or intimidated by it but I would be p*ssed off. It it happened to my grandmother she'd be incredibly shaken and scared. Again, posters on here are simply revealing themselves for who I personally already knew they were, but others were likely giving them the benefit of doubt. All this personal insulting, accusations and made up libel about Delia over the years by some posters on this very thread who then claimed it was "nothing personal" have shown that even when an elderly couple are targeted by our rival football fans, they'd rather blame the elderly couple. No wonder our atmosphere is so sh*t if these ar the sort of supporters we have in our midst. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the end this is what it comes down to. I get that people want them gone. Personally I'd like them to go as soon as Attanasio wants them to. But seems to me that people have allowed that to develop into some kind of personal animus, of which this is the logical conclusion. It's very sad. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No one said it didn't happen, 2 objects were thrown, while her driver was trying to get through a blocked road of Ipswich fans. So why should they apologise for something out of their control?

Big Vince 318 Posted January 6 Some posters on here have fallen right into the trap that Delia has set. She wants people to think she is an old person being victimised. That is the perfect narrative. It then deflects away all the atrocious things she has been involved in such as backing Webber to the hilt, refusing to acknowledge that there are legitimate governance issues at the club, having a go at the fans, racking up extraordinary levels of debt, selling every player possible, not investing in the squad, 6 relegations, c.56 cup exits......the list goes on and on....

Up and Away 0 Posted January 10 Some Town fans acted very poorly when they spotted a NCFC car (Micheal in front seat is recognisable and he and driver wore club ties). Town officials apologised to Delia and Micheal pre-match. Town had asked Delia to follow the Norwich club coach, which was given a police escort to the ground, before and away from the planned fan welcoming for the home coach. Why she ignored this request and followed the Town coach through a pre-planned fan event beggars belief. Equally odd is why Delia issued a public statement three weeks after the game? Paddy is not an unbiased reporter and some of what he published is clearly inaccurate. Not sure anyone comes out of this smelling of roses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
