Do we have to downsize Carrow Road to a 13,000 capacity stadium?

Fen Canary 828 Posted February 24 3 minutes ago, Conrad said: I just wish that we were the Norwich of a couple of years or so ago. We are. We still play at Carrow Road, in a yellow kit. Still drink in the same pubs on match day, sing the same songs and still get happy with a win and pi**ed off when we lose. We had a couple of decent seasons at this level, and two of the most diabolical ones I’ve seen in the top flight. We’re one win away from the playoffs with the bulk of our first team fit for the first time all year. If you can’t enjoy that I question why you watch football in the first place 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If that's true then it's even more important to have a bigger ground to bring in more revenue. Probably best that we don't try and follow the Bournemouth template.

astro 360 Posted February 25 5 hours ago, duke63 said: We got relegated... and embarrasingly so. There is no embarrassment in losing at sport. Embarrassment stems from reading too much social media - the frenzied hordes, demanding that every promoted club must spend unsustainably to compete with their beloved hollow-pool/citeh/utd, who they’ve probably never watched play live. A good example is Sheffield United - darlings of the EPL the last time they were promoted - now being derided as failures because they’ve had to sell their better players and haven’t spent ‘big’. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BroadstairsR 2,173 Posted February 26 Tiny little Bournemouth, the pensioner's paradise and a club who were truly our feeder club for a significant period in our history, represent the epitome of the influence of money in the game nowadays. NCFC kept them afloat, they returned that by providing us with some of the best performers in our history. Even more so than Man. City and Chelski, imo, who are at least big clubs in big cities with big followings. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're right, in their own way they're as good a symbol of football's current state as the petrostate/war-criminal clubs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I saw the last 20 minutes of that game with my son at the Sky stall at the Trafford Centre in Manchester. Sat next to us was a young city fan who was wearing a nice crisp light blue top that he'd got for his birthday a couple of days previously. I felt really bad for him. But not that bad...
