No additional ticket allocation for Colchester-Norwich game

Oh how I wonder what the tone would be had the boot been on the other foot.......

Colchester and their supporters have every right to be angry after what NCFC did to them..... and they may well go up ahead of us come May. Those who gloat now may well look very stupid should that happen. Colchester and Ipswich in the same league above us?

I also think Ady Boo might have a point to prove too..........

In what universe would a Norwich manager leave to better himself at Col Who?

Just would NEVER happen.

Good Lord Cluck we agree about something.  And then there are those like Whatever Chris Martin above salivating at the potential mayhem that may result.

This is possibly a route to disaster for the Club and the level of glee and provacation on this thread is extraordinary.

We should keep our collective heads down and concentrate on winning matches.

What really annoys me and my hubby about this is that it has nothing to do with the fans of either club as to what happened between Lambert leaving ColU and joining NCFC.

And yet, because of that immature idiot in charge of ColU, not being able to get the compensation he feels he deserves, he is intent on punishing loyal NCFC supporters.  He also seems intent on financially punishing his own club.

I am surprised the rest of the ColU board are not saying ''''hang on a minute, this is missed revenue from a so called local derby''''.  The defeat by ColU hurt, but I don''t recall any real animosity between the supporters, and yet one little man is trying, and to a certain extent being successful in causing animosity between two sets of fans, that I have not known of before.

He has decided the matter should be taken to tribunal and in effect it should stay there.

Win, lose or draw does he really believe that that one game between now and the end of the season is seriously going to affect the 2 clubs final position?

We hope that when all the dust settles, there is no trouble between the fans of the 2 clubs, as only football and it''s general reputation can be harmed.

I wonder if the little man will take his responsibility should the worst happen?

I''m struggling to understand how a Norwich fan who sits in the home end, gets into an argument with a Col Who fan and ends up lamping him can turn round and blame their chairman. Have any of you heard of personal responsibility?

That said Mr Cowling does appear to be behaving like a dick (albeit a dick who is well within his rights [:D]) but I''m concerned that some seem to think this gives them licence to have a ruck. If that''s your attitude you''re better off staying at home.

Excellent in theory but lets say 1000 City fans get into the home supporters area, how on earth do you propose they be moved?

Add to that, I was a steward at CR for a number of years including the premier league season, it was very common to find away supporters in the home stands and they were either left or moved.

Puts on tin hat for having been a steward in the past

Fact is they will not turn out 800-1000 Norwich supporters onto the streets of CuckooLand or whatever it is called.

More people we have in the away end the better.

Grow up super chrisy martin.Anyone who starts violence, however provoked, is immediately in the wrong.If I had a ticket in their home end I would quietly watch the match and enjoy it. Norwich city only stand to look bad if people go there with violence on their minds.

where did i say violence is on My mind

so If Youre sitting in the Home end and we Score and You cheer You dont think Col U fans will start throwing abuse ??

abuse can quite easyily lead to punches being thrown thats why supporters are seggregated - evryone Knows that

im saying its there Fault evryone isnt Going to be seggregated

Col Who''s GREATEST EVER result was a draw at Yeovil to get them in the Championship.

Norwich City''s WORST EVER result was a draw at Yeovil in League One (first competitive League game against them).

Lambo will not allow us to lose at that pathetic little tinpot hole. They are nothing.

I can''t quote your posts chrisy martin.I would consider it disrespectful to go into any home fan''s area and

cheer and gob off. Think about how you might feel if you were in the

Barclay, the opposition scored and someone leapt up and started

cheering.

Yea ino mate exactly, everyone would go loopy which is likely To happen with city fans in Col U home support

which is why extra tickets shouldnt have been denied in my view, there available to evry1 else so why not us =/

[Mike 0]

It''s simple really..... If you start a ruck at a football match then you are in the wrong but what happens if a Col Utd fan starts of a City fan if we score? The easiest & most sensible solution ruling out the potential for trouble is to allow the away fans to be seated in areas not sold out and easily segragated. As they have done with every other club in such a position.

If it kicks off it will be a person issue AND the chairman of ColUtd who could have made that scenario impossible. Please use a bit of common sense even if Col Utd can''t.

Do you reckon if i give Cowling a pokemon card, he''ll give us a bigger allocation? [:d]

[Barside Edd 0]

Colchester fan in peaceI''m surprised we are not giving you move tickets although I would have waited and expected the club to wait until the week before to see how sales were going etc.However, I will also defend our Chairmans right to not give you more, you already have nearly double the required amount by the rules and obviously he is aggrieved enough by what has happened/is happening to not help your club out.All the talk about home end fans, well, I expect the stewards etc will do nowt about it, i would expect, as with Sunderland you will find a lot of tickets canceled and therefore a lot will not be able to gain access. I also expect a VERY heavy police presence on the day as we do for any game, even the ones that will obviously only have 100 away fans, in fact I''m sure we have more for nothing games than I saw at your place this season. We have also been receiving a lot of section 27''s lately and I expect the Essex old bill will be getting ready for a lot of those.I hope there is no trouble but, if there is, it can only be blamed on those involved as if you choose to go in to seats you are not entitled to and problems arise how can you blame others ? The odd idea of ''we want extra so we should have'' just smacks of arrogance in my opinion.Anyway, this does seem to be heating the fans attitudes to each other a bit and that''s probably not a great thing.

I know that, but in this instance buying blocks of 10 & 20 seats together in home areas and gobbing off about it isn''t the cleverest thing in the world to do is it?

I still can''t quote you chrisy, sort that blockquote milarkey out ffs.So the common sense answer is to shut the hell up and watch the game. I

have taken friends to city matches who support the away team and we

have sat in the Barclay and I have given them this advice.

Yes, the Col U chairman is an arse, but we don''t need to stoop to his level.
