Largey 0 Posted July 23, 2008 May I add, do you guys wear your Norwich shirt for the duration of your holiday, or just pick the luckiest moments to do so. Think of all the Norwich fans who you may come across abroad who arent wearing their favourite City shirt, and go under the radar ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NCFC_Thain 0 Posted July 23, 2008 In Cyprus a couple of years ago both the rooms next to us were Ipswich fans and the room opposite a fellow yellow.In Poland last week I spied a Norwich shirt from the walls of Krakow Castle.Also whilst in Turkey a guy on the market went "I can get you any football shirt in the world" so we naturally went "ok, Norwich City" He disapperared into his van and came back with a fake Norwich shirt, we thought we''d of beaten him :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CaptnCanary 0 Posted July 23, 2008 Ackney Canary said : Top deck of the Brewongle Stand, two rows behind me, at the Sydney Cricket Ground, Jan 3 2003 - it was a good omen: we won the Test. That might have been me or my brothers that you saw there as we were all certainly there. I remember wearing my new Norwich cap every day there. I still wear it alot! We saw some scummers there too and I messed up a group photo they were taking my getting in the background and holding the badge on my shirt up prominently :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NorwichsNewFinest 0 Posted July 23, 2008 Walking through a Mall in Detroit & stopped by a passer-by (American chap) who clocked the shirt & then preceded to tell me why we should''ve never sold Sutton all those years ago! Was dumbstruck to say the least but me & the then Mrs had a few pints with him shortly after. Am I the only one who feels a tingling sense of pride when you see our Yellow shirt in foreign climbs?

Well I Never 0 Posted July 24, 2008 First post on this forum ever. Don''t know about the strangest place ever seeing a city fan but I probably qualify as the farthest placed canary fan, brought up in Dunedin in the south of New Zealand, very few places geographically further away from Carrow Road. My father was born in Wymondham and I still have relatives in the area. Started supporting Norwich when I began to play football at seven years old (twenty nine years ago), still remember the Pink''un arriving for Dad every week back when it was printed on pink newsprint, and later proudly turning up to practice every week in the 1981 admiral kit- along with all the predictable slaggings about wearing aussie colours! I have been an avid fan ever since, although I ironically lost track in the late eighties/ early nineties when Mike Walker took us into a golden period (blame it on a misspent youth!). Picked up again when I visited the hallowed turf in ''94 and have sang like a canary wherever I''ve been since despite the obvious slaggings at times. Will always be a die-hard Canary whatever happens. For my two cents worth, I think Delia did a good job of appointing Roeder, a very shrewd manager who looks to be assembling a very good squad given his resources, although I doubt that she has the always acted in the best interests of the club in terms of allocating funds towards quality in the playing staff. The manager needs available funds otherwise we will risk losing him to a team that will give him the scope he needs to lead a side capable of Premiership football. At the time of this post I am hoping for a big strong striker and a big strong centre back to complete the squad, both complying to Roeders wishes of committed keen players, then I think we can be a realistic threat in this league, I have every confidence that he can do so, call me an optomist. Very much looking forward to becoming a regular poster as soon as I get an internet connection at home, c''mon you yellows! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Taxing 0 Posted July 24, 2008 [quote user="blahblahblah"]I was standing on a rock on a fairly deserted piece of coastline in Malta when I turned to my girlfriend of the time and said - "I wonder if they''ve got a new manager at Norwich yet ?". 20 yards behind me a voice shouted "It''s Martin O''Neill".

AlchesterCanary 0 Posted July 24, 2008 Probably walking around a Microsoft Exchange Conference in Orlando Conference Centre. I was wearing my city shirt and one of the exhibitors was a fellow supporter. After that maybe not the strangest but I had to help one of our sales teams set up a conference in London. We were all working in Oxford but chatting in the pub at the end of the day of the 5 of us, 3 of us were city supporters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
