IllawarraCanary 0 Posted August 1, 2009 Just thought I would share this with you. I and a few others posted our thoughts as City fans on the Tractor Boys forum and they were well received by the Binners. Someone suggested a memorial charity match Town v City with the fans mixed in the stands as a fitting tribute to a great man. While the doubt is that the ''authorities'' would risk, how many agree that both sets of fans could put aside their differences for the occasion? Any idiots from either side would be putin their place by the decent majority surely? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Its only my opinion 0 Posted August 1, 2009 It will never happen.. Norwich are not the little happy family club everyone likes to think it is,There will be people turn up to course trouble.Is a good thought and would be nice if it could happen. But in reality it would never turn out how you would like it too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herman 11,136 Posted August 1, 2009 Good idea.I am sure rivalry will take a back seat for someone like Sir Bobby.The idiot fan would stay away hopefully! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crafty Canary 547 Posted August 1, 2009 Absolutely especially as, despite the banter, our clubs have much more in common than they have differences. A derby memorial match would be a fitting tribute and I would suggest the proceeds go to Sir Bobby''s cancer charity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

timncfc 0 Posted August 1, 2009 Very good idea, anyone who is sick enough to cause trouble should be banned for life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arthur Whittle 0 Posted August 1, 2009 How about a campaign for the Sir Bobby Robson Cup? Ipswich V Norwich and proceeds going to Sir Bobbys cancer charity as wisely mentioned by someone else? Surely if enough people campiagned for this they would have to give in. A day to remember the legend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arthur Whittle 0 Posted August 1, 2009 Someone maybe the NCISA should try and get The Sir Bobby Robson Cup game proposed to the club. RIP BOBBY. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
West Ham Canary 0 Posted August 1, 2009 I would have thought there would be more chance of an Ipswich XI playing a Newcastle XI to be honest. Also as bad as this may sound Sir Bobby Robson had his game last sunday and unlike many others before him he was perhaps lucky to attend such a big game in his honour before he passed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arthur Whittle 0 Posted August 2, 2009 People associated Bobby with Newcastle because he supported them as a boy, yet they forget how he was hounded out by fans and directors for getting knocked out of the champions league. With all respect, his achievments were with Ipswich not Newcastle, the press bring up Newcastle as it has a better image. So for me Robson should be remembered for what he achieved at Ipswich, therefore an Ipswich V Norwich Sir Bobby Robson Cup would sell out, gain money for cancer, and be a day of rspect for sir Bobby.

National express super guard 0 Posted August 2, 2009 didn''t he have a lot of success with Fulham too. Scumbags vrs Fulham would be bigger pull too!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
When Saturday Comes 0 Posted August 2, 2009 I don''t really understand why we should be involved at all - he had no connections to us. It should be all about Ipswich and Newcastle, let them two decide how and when they want to do something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sam. 0 Posted August 2, 2009 Yeah maybe Newcastle, Fulham and Ipswich or a couple of X1s with some of his former players from england etc but if us then why not sunderland etc 3/4 teams is a doable cup like pre season ones but 5 or 6 would be hard expecially as this is a world cup season.
