Panic 0 Posted April 19, 2009 Just a thought to deflect our anger.Don''t you just hate the Norwich Ipswich game being called ''the Old Farm''? I''ve read it four times on the BBC sport site alone! I hate it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chunky Norwich 0 Posted April 19, 2009 I quite like it to be honest. It''s quite humourous and proves that the rest of the country actually take note of it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted April 19, 2009 I blame Wikipedia. I''d never heard of the phrase before reading it on there a few years ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grando 256 Posted April 19, 2009 Yes, I hate the phrase too. It certainly isn''t a term applied by Norwich fans, just the brainchild of some half-arsed hack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aurelius 0 Posted April 19, 2009 The old farm is an expression entered in the common language.It''s also the title of a nice book by Rob Hadgraft: http://www.footballderbies.com/reviews/review.php?rid=23 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
