nutty nigel 7,535 Posted April 11, 2010 Oh well.. cabbage it is then[;)]The point I was making was that even in a season where we are "top of the league and ''avin'' a laugh" nCIsA seem to be there for people who still want to moan about something. That''s not a reflection on yourselves but that, unfortunately, is how many see it. How many fans mention nCIsA on here unless they are complaining about something?

......and Smith must score. 1,343 Posted April 11, 2010 [quote user="Smudger"]Honestly Morty and EM, must you behave like Carrow Road is nerd central? Even some Charlton fans are saying that their club should have made more of an effort to give us more tickets. I have stated to Morty that I would give my seat up and sit on Delia''s lap if it generated £50-100k for the club. You saying about fans being moved from block E in the Barclay is ludicrous anyway. Nobody has asked Charlton to move their fans out of their North or West stands (their two main stands) have they? It has simply been stated that they are stupid for not moving a few hundred season ticket holders from a stand which holds 6,000 to cash in having 6,000 plus Norwich fans there.For a club that was in a serious financial mess not so long ago, surely that is getting the basics right?[/quote]Have to say I agree with the posters who think Charlton are doing the right thing here.Crucially Charlton need the points more than we do. Apart from having to shift loyal home fans to accommodate us, they would then have to put up with a much noisier away following which, in theory, should benefit the visiting team.Of course Charlton, like everyone else in this Division, needs extra cash. So, despite all the posturing, don''t be too surprised that if you turn up on the day with some readies and a non- Norfolk postcode they''ll let you in........

can u sit down please 0 Posted April 11, 2010 Nutty....I didn''t mean for it to read that ncisa are doing away travel etc....But meant it as a suggestion to things that it could do to get people onboard and to be seen in a different light. Not just an association that is purely there for the moaners. I think it could be popular, esp after seeing peoples thoughts on club cabbage on here! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nutty nigel 7,535 Posted April 11, 2010 cusdp - I know what you meant mate and I was just having a bit of fun with Tilly who only last night was giving me stick about being a window licker on cabbage! You gave him his big chance to come to my rescue and he has failed me[;)] So cabbage it is for ever more[:''(]To be fair I sense that you understood my reference to NCISA more than anyone. It''s not personal, it''s not about me not understanding the good things they do, it''s about how the image is seen on here. Despite Angels words to the contrary the positive things that NCISA do are not highlighted much on here. But as soon as someone has a gripe or issue with the club they are on here calling for NCISA to get involved. Let me give you another example - Last season amidst our relegation heartache and despair everyone was looking towards NCISA to get involved and help find a way to get their feelings of dissatisfaction to the club. I thought did really well in organising the meeting at St Andrews Hall which gave many of us the chance to let our feelings be known. But now this season we are once again enjoying our football and it looks like we will return to the Championship at the first attempt. But we don''t see thread after thread asking for NCISA to organise a celebration. It just seems to me that fans only turn to them when they have something to moan about.Just to clear up any misunderstandings, The reason why NCISA is not for me, and I have told Tilly and Kathy this before, is that I don''t believe in "them and us". For me the club and the fans are always on the same side. I don''t want to be part of an independent supporters group because I believe supporters are part of the club. But in no way is that a criticism of individuals who are part of NCISA, in fact the opposite is true because Tilly and Kathy always give me their support on the free bet both on here and at our pickers meets.

Since you''re the expert on social nuances, I''ll bow to your superior wisdom...[quote user="Smudger"] I would give my seat up and sit on Delia''s lap if it generated £50-100k for the club. [/quote]That would be worth the admission price alone, frankly... now if only I could get hold of a ticket, but it seems all those Charlton fans have taken over the Jarrold...[/quote]Back on point EM... you were harldy applyiung logic by comparing Charlton''s East Stand to the ''E'' block in our Barclay were you?A few hundred season ticket holders in a stand which is usually more than half empty for most games as opposed to the most popular area of Carrow Road in a stadium which is crammed to the rafters for most games and which has close on 20,000 season ticket holders.An equal comparison would be if we had approx only 1,000 fans in our River End week in week out surely?
