Bobert 0 Posted June 26, 2009 There are a group (or groups) of people that get free seats to the matches at Carrow Road. Seems to me this should stop in the currect climate of redundancies and asking for financial help. If you know who these people or jobs are how about listing them?

If anything they should give MORE on the basis that there will be empty seats next season! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Panic 0 Posted June 28, 2009 [quote user="JuanVelasco"]Staff (many of whom have taken pay cuts, if their jobs still exist) [/quote]I can tell you that almost no staff get free tickets at Carrow Road. The main reason being that they''re working on matchday....[:|] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Ginge 0 Posted June 28, 2009 Former players get a pair of free tickets for most home games. This I know to be a fact. Normally in the upper barclay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In Dubious Battle 0 Posted June 28, 2009 I''ve been to a few games for free before because the company I worked for advertised on Radio Broadland and they let us see a few games a year in their box. I suppose that Radio Broadland paid the club for the box in the first place though. It was a horrible experience, I spent the whole game wishing I was over in the lower barclay as usual. Did get a free lunch though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
