19 years ago today!

The most embarrassing thing ever seen at Carrow Road! Who remembers it, I’m sure most do as it’s impossible to forget!

What are your recollections of that infamous drunken rant?

Mine was standing talking to people behind me with my back to the pitch when I thought, what the hell is that noise 🤣🤣

 

[Branston Pickle 3,682]

It being a Monday night game made it impossible for me to get to - I was listening via the internet (remember when we could do that?!) and you could hear some random noise over the h/t chat…turned out to be Delia….

[cambridgeshire canary 6,791]

And she STILL claims she was sober

[BobLoz3 494]

Was watching it at a friend's house and had popped outside for a ciggie at halftime. 

All of a sudden, the lads in the house are like "come here! You've got to see this!" And rewound the live footage so we could watch. 

I thought it was hilarious tbh. 

The result wasn't, though 😂

[Gordon Bennett 789]

I remember having a chuckle at the game and thinking no more of it until the media went bananas the next morning.

Your friends in the house should have been shouting "c'mon, where arrreee yooouuu!?"

I think the close up of her drunken face on TV were a lot worse than it sounded in the stadium.

I missed it as I was at the bar....

 

[Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,853]

It was a pretty chilly February night, so I went into the concourse at half time. It was on the TVs, but there was no sound, and I only found out about it when I got home. 

I've never found it embarrassing though. I'd rather a pissed up Delia than some faceless American, Chinese or a Middle Eastern consortium.

Yeah, I think it went over most of our heads in the ground.  I remember there were just a lot of confused faces around me.  It wasn't until I saw it on Sky Sports News when I got home that it was obvious quite how much Delia had enjoyed her night.

I thought you heroically travelled 160 miles to attend home games when in fact you listen on the inter web 

[stratton canary 134]

Yeah, and she's still here, just loves the attention good or bad! 

[Faded Jaded Semi Plastic SOB 1,037]

At the time I was rather bemused by her antics more than anything else, I think the Royal Marines abseiling off the City Stand triggered her into taking to the pitch. I am sure she was not drunk, just very emotional..........

That was 19 years ago. I have never made out that I heroically do anything - you’re the insular fool who wants to make Norwich only for people within walking distance.

And if you knew anything at all, you’d know you can’t now listen direct via the internet.

Passionate fan-owner trying to rally the club's supporters.

The reaction said much more about her critics than it did about Delia.

She's been in charge of this club for 20-odd years, and has done a lot of things that could be criticised. That wasn't one of them. In my far-from-humble opinion of course.

The expression ' let's be havin' you ' of course has not been a source of ridicule up and down the country over the years by fans of other clubs now has it ?

[Ken Hairy 3,780]

I was in the bar in the Barclay, remember turning to my mate and saying "did you just hear some weird noise?".

A few Citeh fans chanted "Lets be aving you" in the 2nd half had no idea what they were banging on about until I got home.  

I was mortified when I saw it, she was 100% pissed, and with a look of such disgust towards the fans that I've personally wanted her gone ever since.

[TIL 1010 4,788]

While there are people who treat her like a visit from the Pope when she makes an appearance in The Lion and Castle after a game i am not surprised she is still around to soak up the adoration.

More embarrassing than Colchester 7-1?

[Google Bot 3,299]

I loved it, but then sport is entertainment for me, I see no shame in it.  My memories was watching on TV with my dad, and him shouting out to Mum "Quick! Delia's pi55ed on TV!".

It will for sure define her passion as a supporter.

[Don’t be Krul 399]

She was completely sh!tfaced

In my opinion it was but that’s just my opinion.

I just had a similar conversation with a manager here at work who supports Reading. He’d take an owner like Delia in a heartbeat.

[Nuff Said 5,173]

With anything like this you can try and pretend it didn’t happen, or style it out. I’m in the “let’s own it” camp. Other teams’ supporters think it’s funny but at the same time that it shows a passionate owner.

I mean if opposition fans chanting that has such an impact on you then....

Yep. It just re-affirmed how much of a fan she was. I'm not saying i'd want her to do it or that it's even a good idea but it was genuine at least, more than you can say for 75% of football club owners currently.

Caring what the fans of other clubs think has never struck me as a very Norfolk thing to do.

In our second Farke PL season I absorbed a little bit of the ridicule that was coming our way ("they're wasting a place in the PL", etc), and as a result, I was pretty relaxed about Farke's sacking. That taught me a lesson and I've resolved to militantly not care what TalkShïte gobshïtes or other clubs' fans think about us. As someone said, can't remember their name, 'ignore the noise'. Or to put it in a more timeless way, 'do diff'rent'.

[lake district canary 4,544]

Embarrassing my ar$e. It was brilliant. A great advert for passion from an owner of a football club, prepared to stand up and speak out. Never understood why it upset some of our fans - I guess those who think they are above criticism might not like it......
