One hopes you will show more ambition during your three years at ''uni'' than the current NCFC board have during their 13 or so years in control at Carrow Road.

After all you wouldn''t want to finish up with a ''third'', now would you?

Take my advice. Set your sights high.

Which Uni you going to? My daughter off to Leicester in September (As long as she gets 3 B''2 at A level) Still renewed her season ticket so she can go to games if she comes home at all at weekends. Anyone from the Leicester area with a spare place in a car on match days?

[Blofield Canary 11]

Should have read 3 B''s not B''2 (Edit button please)

If only she would choose Digby. Got her eye on the new accommodation block which will cost me £4,500 for the first year.

So that would be a bit of a treck to come back for matches. Failing newcastle probably Bath Spa

So did I!  Well, it was the old Poly.  Great 3 years, although the City has changed beyond recognition now.

[ncfcstar 292]

By the way, brilliant Uni, and great student based city, and I imagine your daughter will love the new High Cross shopping centre which is similar in size to the Bullring in Birmingham.

Thanks guys for all the advice. She does post on here if she ever gets out of bed. Miss Kitty or something along those lines. I''ll get her to pm you for some advice.
