We should all be going in funeral dress to mourn the death of our great club not having some happy clappy bl**dy party![/quote]grumpy git if i see you puncture my ball i will be watching out for you[/quote]I''m serious. Not the time nor the place but with the number of happy clappy idiots we have supporting our team i am sure there will be plenty having a good old laugh and a conga to celebrate our relegation to league 1![/quote]Jim you have totally lost it. Get a life![/quote]Maybe I have lost it but for me thee only thing worse than witnessing our likely relegation on Sunday will be witnessing our relegation on saturday alongside several hundred grown men wearing wigs, facepaint and brandishing inflatables like a bunch of clowns. It will be a complete embarrassment. I repeat if I have any inflatables come my way i will burst them![/quote] On Sunday even! Witnessing it on saturday would be very freaky![/quote]Personally I will be grateful to be put out of my misery and if this happens in the style of a good old fashioned party or wake so much the better. You should read the post elsewhere on here about the Forest supporter''s tip for Div 1. Relegation can be cathartic and if you support clubs like City you can''t be too precious about it. There have been precious few laughs during the last few seasons after all.Johnstones Paint Trophy anyone?[/quote]I cant see how relegation can be anything other than a backward step. When ("if", if you like), we go down it is not going to be a walk in the park and with the way our squad as it is at the moment yet anthor re-build will be needed (something Leicester did not need to do) I can only see a long term spot in L1 for us. I will not be partying at Charlton (unless by some mirical we have won and the final whistle has gone at Home Park with a home win). Lets please not show the board that relegation is acceptable like we did in 2004/05!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neither is any facile protest - the board know we are up the creek and CT seems to be hinting that something is in the air if we go down.But if the club is to survive it will be built on togetherness amongst the fans and if fans want to go down in style that is to be applauded.

Lord Horn 0 Posted April 30, 2009 I''ve got mixed feelings about this.......if we do get relegated I think we should make the Board well aware in no uncertain terms of the disgraceful situation that they have led us into. Having said that, the rendition of ''City ''til I Die'' towards the end of the Reading game brought a lump to my throat and we can also show that we (as fans) are sticking together in adversity and I don''t see any harm in doing that in whatever way people want to (if anyone can find an inflatable chocolate teapot to take along as a comparison with the Cook I would LMFAO!)

Ren 75 Posted April 30, 2009 Nutty - I will let the board know, from my place in the stands, should we be relegated what I think of their performance since May 2004. Just dont want them to think that our fan base takes relegation lightly and that they can swan of on holiday thinking they have done a wonderful job. I guess I am just a grumpy old man, but if this is how football is heading, imo it is worse for it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Southern Canary 0 Posted April 30, 2009 We shouldn''t really be arguing about this. No matter what happens on Sunday, we need EVERYONE behind the team. Try to make the atmosphere as intimidating as possible for the Charlton players, and our board.If we go down, or go behind, the atmosphere will turn poisonous, and then we can vent our anger. Trust me, i will be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ren 75 Posted April 30, 2009 I have been behind the team all season as have 99.9% of our fans. Have not seen it make much difference TBH, but will give it one last try on Sunday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If they can''t raise their game for two of the most crucial games in the clubs history, then they can sod right off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote] Exactly, but maybe it will help them on Sunday. Can''t say it did on Monday. I hope the happy-clappies don''t just take relegation on Sunday, if we do go down. I reckon the board will only listen if pretty much everyone is. Thankfully, it looks like lots of people will be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hogesar 9,655 Posted April 30, 2009 Ooooh yes! Bring as many inflatables as you like! Party all day! It''s going to be such a laugh! You know, you better get a good few of you singing "Delia''s Barmy Army!" or it really wouldn''t be the same.I can''t believe people are even suggest inflatables.So glad i''m not going to this one. I''ll be watching from Carrow Road though, and i''ll simply picture the inflatables being burst. Yes i''m miserable. Might be something to do with probable relegation...

? 20 Posted April 30, 2009 The ''death of our club''?Good God, what a bloody drama queen! It''s no more the death of our club than relegation from the Premier was, you numpty. Yes, it''s a complete kick in the teeth and no one likes it, but it''s not the end of the world. I''ll be supporting Norwich no matter how many relegations i have to suffer through and i''ll always take what pleasure i can out of the experience. If that means going to Charlton and having a few beers and a laugh in the face of adversity (as such) then i will!Seriously, what the hell is the point in going to the game only to whinge and moan and ruin everyone else''s fun? Miserable git, you may as well stay at home.Geezus, some of you really do seem more interested in making bloody martyrs of yourselves than you do about supporting the team..
