Herb 0 Posted February 2, 2009 Last week when we played Southampton, as usual the scoreboard displayed the results from other games played that afternoon.As the Man Utd result was announced, I heard a few people around me shout "Yes!" excitedly as if that result mattered more to them than ours.What the hell are they doing coming to watch us if we''re only their second team?A word to the wise, if you don''t support us 100%, don''t bother coming please. I don''t like Man U fans at the best of times, I''m old enough to remember what they did to our ground in the late 70''s, but I especially don''t like them in the Barclay spreading their prawn sandwich mentality amongst us.Half arsed support is not what we need right now.

Alan_Grey 0 Posted February 2, 2009 I''d definitely agree with you, except that unfortunately I think we need their money [:$]Here''s a positive thought: these people turn up to see Norwich when we''re in a Championship relegation scrap, but how many would still be supporting Man U after they''d finished, say, 10th in the prem for a few seasons? Not many, at a guess! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This has been going on for years! During the seventies my schoolboy team was Leeds and so was it half the Norfolk school I attended and whenever Leeds played at Carrow Road even the River, Main and South stands were predominantly white, blue & yellow made up of locals.For the record I''ve hated Leeds for years.

Herb 0 Posted February 2, 2009 [quote user="shyster"]How many years have you been living under a rock, Herb?[/quote]I know there''s always been an element of it, as you say most visible when playing the team that is the current flavour of the month.But I can honestly say last week was the first time I''ve noticed that reaction to an opposition score, at least on that scale.
