Lincs CR 0 Posted June 10, 2008 Fantastic commitment from the fans year in year out, great to see 20,000 limit reached.Looks like people are looking forward to seeing Roeder''s plan in action. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Unlucky Fried Kitten 0 Posted June 10, 2008 Incredible stuff! Particularly when you think that these season ticket sales are at least double what the club used to achieve when we were riding high in the Premiership. Two or three seasons of crap football and still the fans want more - that''s what you call true loyalty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Chirp 0 Posted June 10, 2008 Like most of you, I am not sure what is going on behind the scenes... hopefully there is money to spend... maybe Roeder will be backed like they promised him... However i feel the board need to realise the asset they have with the fans and realise people won''t keep on renewing if this ''hope'' that they have under Roeder turns to nothing if glen is not given the funds to push on for the playoffs... With the gap between the prem and the champ widening and the gap in what clubs have to spend in the champ also widening Norwich really need to make sure they don''t miss the boat..Each year the championship is getting harder and harder to get out of... I am concerned that the board won''t back our Glen and will settle for what Chase was happy to settle for all those years ago.... lower mid table and the outside chance of success... 20,000 season ticket holders as well as all the fans of Norwich deserve so much more... It''s time the dedication is matched... Time we all sang from the same hymn sheet.... Personally i don''t think it has been that way for quite some time. I don''t really care who''s money it is (bar terrorism!) fan or no fan... money is money at the end of the day... All the talk from the board saying we are a premier club, with premier fans with a premier training ground... Is all well and good... and i thank them for the thankless task of running our club... BUT... isn''t it time our premier board had some REAL premier ambition? I will watch Norwich even more closely this year in the transfer market... July and August will give us a real indication of which way our club is heading...james Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Fish Seller 0 Posted June 10, 2008 Guess which CE of a Championship football Club made this quote recently?"And with over 18,000 season ticket holders already pledging their support for next season, we are able to look forward to season 2008/09 with a higher degree of financial confidence than many of our brethren across the League. Hence the reason why we can afford to have brought so many players to Carrow Road in recent months, and how we have been able to finance Maceo Rigters'' arrival here on loan, under the noses of some of our wealthier competitors."The last sentence implies that some of this years budget was spent last year on stopgap solutions.

WeAreYellows49 0 Posted June 10, 2008 I think, and I may be wrong, but if the Club don''t back GR all the way this TW then they might have a good few season tickets returned, we will consider sending ours back and stopping the DD''s if we are not totally satisfied with the players brought in.

Bomber 50 Posted June 10, 2008 20000 season tickets and 2500 super membership holders and yet the club will still insist we are skint and cant afford players that ironically other clubs with 12000 crowds can - it baffles me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kdncfc 0 Posted June 11, 2008 I have considered giving my season ticket up for the last 2 years but it is a very difficult thing to stop going when you have only missed 2 home games in 36 years. I could probably count the games I''ve enjoyed on one hand in the last couple of years but every year I''ve renewed in the hope that next year may be better. If they don''t find some money from somewhere this year we are so weak we could well get relegated next season, a fate of which the board are more than deserving because of how the lack of investment in players has made the squad so weak, the fans desrve far better.

Old Shuck 188 Posted June 11, 2008 The supporters have-and continue to do so-done their/our bit.The club needs to reciprocate now.We will probably be told the new kitman is one of the "exciting new signings" or a "new hero" mind!Ever onward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are you seriously telling me that over the last 2 seasons you have enjoyed going to football just 5 times? Talk about £700+ down the drain[:''(]Smudger "my old mate" it seems like you''re right. City fans buy season tickets just to be loyal and not because they want them [*-)]Is there anyone else like me who still enjoys going to matches, who looks forward to the next game all week, who goes to their seat full of optimism, who feels £30 a month is a bargain, who is missing the football now and can''t wait for next season?

Your support seems to have been great over the years and no wonder you have considered giving it up the last 2 years. But lets look forward and hopefully achieve a hell of a lot more next season!

The Chirp 0 Posted June 11, 2008 Is it bad that i am trying to convince my girlfriend that moving back to norwich is a good idea as houses are so much cheaper... when if i am honest one of the main reasons is... i want to get a season ticket for carrow road!! - i mean surely she won''t mind the commute with me to london at 6 40 am everyday monday to friday just so i can see norwich play? oh and the cheap house of course! All day i think about football... read everything to do with football... even looked into becoming an agent until Lee Power really put me off! ... still wish i followed that through though tbh... :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
