LQ 0 Posted May 11, 2009 Hang on a minute...Seeing as pre-season friendlies are (as I have been told on many occassions) worthless in terms of evaluating anything and are only a run-out for "the lads", what is the difference between arranging one against a Man Utd XI which will undoubtably draw in a crowd and say...err...using the pitch for something else that brings the dosh in - a dog show perhaps? Or caravans if that''s your bag?Come on, a bit of consistency wouldn''t go amiss. Either the Club use Carrow Road to bring in extra revenue or they don''t - which do you want? And isn''t it just slightly more palatable (especially to all the "non-core product" masseeve) that it''s football related? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LQ 0 Posted May 11, 2009 Why?Why does it exactly CT? Explain to me please how maximising income by playing a football match against a ''big name'' club is either wrong or different to hosting a caravan show or dog agility thingy would you? As I saw it lots of people were well up for all that last week.It doesn''t matter who goes - just that people do. And they will. So what exactly is the problem?And before you join the Righteous Brothers of Norwich City Brigade and have a pop at anyone who sees a slightly different side of things I suggest you try looking around the obvious. It may open your eyes a little. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
