Bobert 0 Posted December 13, 2007 I went down to the club yesterday afternoon (Wednesday) and got two seats for Saturdays game. They had about twenty tickets on the counter that had been returned. Staff offered me a place on the coach too but I shall drive down.Going to have a good day out as I have booked a nice hotel too in the centre of Colchester so I will be able to celebrate in style after the match. All paid for by the Bookie on Ber Street. The nice lady paid out for Evans being the first scorer and Norwich winning the match.Went to Dragon Hall last night for the Norwich Society Xmas Party. Persuaded my wife to buy some raffle tickets ''cos I felt hot and its all in a good cause. Was right too as she won a prize. Nice box of chocolates.On the ball City!

we8wba 0 Posted December 13, 2007 for supposedly the best support in the league you finding it hard to sell out colchester and scunthorpe, i would understand if say 2months ago after watching your sides performance vs wolves, but now you are starting to see the team fight and pick up wins/points, so get behind your team and support them, i cant believe someone likened your support to sunderland fans the other week.so stop being arm chair listener and support your team, they need you!!

sxcanaree 0 Posted December 13, 2007 "for supposedly the best support in the league you finding it hard to sell out colchester and scunthorpe"You do realise these are both away games don''t you, the former is live on Sky the latter on the traditional flat Saturday before Christmas date....both have "third division" stadia so its not a bad position - apart from local derbies to you always sell out away?

we8wba 0 Posted December 13, 2007 best home support probably top 3 if not the best in our leaguefor colchester n scunthorpe its not excatly like capactiy for away fans is 3k, im guessing theyll both be 1.5k roughly if that, im not knocking the loyal supporters who go, im not saying my fans are better at home, but saying for supposedly best support in league not to sell out straight away is poor turn outmaybe its because its xmas??i was just saying basically home you get such good turn out because i presume 20k of your regualr 25k attendence are sth, 2k would least be away support depending on oppositionaway your ticket isnt already paid for so why arent you going??norwich look to be on the up, so stop jumping on the bandwagon when your top of the league like im guessing half you guys went 3-4years ago when you won our leaguewhy arent you going now? did you know sunderland sold out colchester in 25mins last yearim not knocking your support, as clearly you one of the better supported teams in the league Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pete Raven 276 Posted December 13, 2007 Not doing Colchester as it''s sold out but I shall be braving the cold up North at Scunthorpe as it''s a new ground. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Smith 2,653 Posted December 13, 2007 The oracle has spoken. Again. Now you have shown be the light I will make sure i go. If you had read it properly he said that 20 tickets had been returned and were being sold. Now is sold out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kick it off 2,062 Posted December 13, 2007 Do you realise the distance between Norwich and Scunthorpe? on the sat before christmas? and we''re not loyal for going? some of us have family commitments at this time of year. Do you think wolves will sell-out their support on that sat regardless of who they have, home or away? NOI know being a wolvo you may find this hard to believe - but most of our support is there through thick and thin.We sell out nearly every week, have second best attendance in the division, better than three prem clubs and a damn sight better than yours and your having a go as we didnt sell out Colchester as quick as Sunderland did last year?speaking of which... What relevance does Sunderland selling out Colchester have? we sold out Colchester, so what? Its not even wolves that did it in 25mins.We have better attendances than you both home and away. who are you to criticise?Normally I''m quite happy to have you post on here, but sometimes you make stupid, stupid posts.

You say Sunderland sold out in 25 minutes, how do you know that and secondly I bet it was when they started to dominate. I take it you''re making the trip to QPR on Saturday then?
