CantonsHero 0 Posted August 29, 2010 First of all: Kudos to the 11 on the pitch who played superbly and made it an enjoyable match to watch.I felt embarrassed by the fans today. There''s no doubt from my position that the commitment is there and that for the team we''re great, but I don''t see it lasting.There''s threads on here about Wigan and their pitiful attendance and there are mitigating factors to that, but personally I had a little girl behind me, a young lad beside me and a girl with her dad to my right. I''d guess that they were 7, 11 and 5 respectfully, and if I were their parents, they wouldn''t come to a match again.I love Norwich City and I love the way we play. I love that we play in yellow and I love that we play fantastic open attacking football. I wish I lived near Carrow Road so I could justify a season ticket but 4 hours each week there and back is too much for me, hence why I try to attend away games.I feel like we''re a family club. We don''t have thug players, we don''t play dirty and I think it''s so easy to enjoy our playing, but the fans today with their open abuse of the stewards; the constant swearing and the arrogance of some of the fans when asked to sit down really upset me. I heard fan after fan moaning "they up there aren''t sitting down", when looking round nearly all of the Forest fans were. I''m a teacher and that''s just immature, "but he''s doing it as well" rubbish, and we should be better than that. Seriously, though, when a steward asks you politely, and they were polite every single time to sit down, why question it; just do it. They know when it''s exciting we;re going to stand, and they were happy to allow it, but for the rest of the time, just sit down; make their job easier and concentrate on enjoying the game. It just made me feel nervous every time I stood up because on the end of the row I was worried I was going to be the example shown; as it were the three removed at points didn''t seem to care, and that worries me just as much. I can''t help but think if we''d have concentrated on the team as opposed to baiting the stewards and the fans, the poor morphsuit boy would have gotten home unscathed.So next time you pay £27 to go and watch an away game, concentrate on the game, be civil, be polite, be helpful, and enjoy the game, because there''s so much to enjoy about our team, and we really can if we work together on it.My next game is Preston, and I really hope that we leave Deepdale, knowing that we were the better team, and the better fans.

Bury Yellow 2 Posted August 29, 2010 Perhaps if we were all made to wear suits and ties with ladies dressing in their finery that may help. When the half time whistle blows we can all file out to have our milk.What a joke. Our supporters are some of the best in the land. We have a few odd ones but trouble makers they are not.I appreciate your point of view CH and you may wish for what is utopia when it comes to supporting your club but being with the masses is what you got yesterday and in general will not change.I think I ''m a reasonably respectable chap but I love being with our lot at away games and all that it involves. It''s a marvellous contrast and relief from the rest of the week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

go donowa go 0 Posted August 29, 2010 passion is needed at football matches and from what I read on here there are far too many gimps complaining about swearing and confrontations with jobsworth stewards, who in my opinion home and away are a pain in the arse.If i pay the money to watch a game why should I be told to sit down and have to think what i''m doing all the time. And before anyone starts about not being able to see as a result of other people standing then its simple go in the family stand or if not able bodied then use the disabled facilities if not get down the gym and sort yourself out.This is football not tennis for f**kssake Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thecanaryfan 0 Posted August 29, 2010 I love the fact the content of the post has absolutly nothing to do with its title! Maybe "My thoughts about the Norwich fans" would have been more apt?For what its worth I too was dissapointed with the behaviour of some of our fans at the Blackburn match. Way too much bad language foe my liking. And some of the needless abuse they were giving to their fellow fans was quite frankly depressing. It seems a new breed of travelling fans has surfaced within the nest, and they are an ugly bunch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AzTattooedsean 0 Posted August 29, 2010 I always ask this same question at sporting events over here when the disagreement comes up. Does standing give one the ability to be sing louder or clap louder than one that is sitting?[:^)]Don''t get me wrong, I love that the Bundesliga in Germany allows specific standing terraces for those that want to stand and I would prefer to stand if given the chance.I just always get confused when someone acts like you can''t get loud if you are sitting.

dj11 404 Posted August 29, 2010 I have been to a number of away games over the years and was promted to write in after the Gillingham away game last year when I thought a number of the fans were a disgrace. Most upsetting were the racist chants which showed what narrow minded and insular some Norwich fans can be. Most of the other away games last season were not much better although thankfully the racist chanting had dried up. I think some of the younger supporters and unfortunatley a small number of older fans, think they have something to prove and it makes them look hard when they abuse the other fans and stewards. I also feel certain that should these ''hard men'' come up against a number of opposition fans who did want a fight, they would fill their pants before running in the direction of their mothers. I am of the opinion that when you enter the ground you know what the rules are and if you don''t like them, don''t go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old Shuck 291 Posted August 29, 2010 The re-introduction of specific standing areas into grounds would be a good one and is worth pursuing, the problem is, people who choose to sit, would still stand-if you can see the logic in that!I cannot jsut sit still whilst watching Norwich-its impossible! Its 90 minutes of physical torment and agitation-up, down, up, down, shout, yell, curse, scream-thats how it is! I don''t, and would never, act in a way to offend or upset fellow fans, but when you''re at the game, you''re IN the game, and no-one else is there, just you and your emotions!Its a tough call. I''m afraid to suggest that no-one swears is always going to be a non-starter, we are talking about a physical sport that inflames passions and is, in the very great majority, watched by men aged 18-55. So folks will swear, especially in the "we''re all in this together" atmosphere, where they feel safe to let out their emotions and part of a temporary "brotherhood".I don''t like the overt aggression, the racism, and the abuse at football, but you can have the passion and vocal and physical excitement without that-and lets hope that never dies. A book once predicted that, in the future, people would be paid to attend matches, to "provide authentic atmosphere"-heaven help us.As for the younger supporters getting above themselves, it used to be the case, certainly in the Barclay, that if any did, someone would have a quiet "word in their ear" and, if that diudn''t work, a clip around the air would be forthcoming. Even in a football crowd, even in the ''old'' Barcaly, there was an unspoken but kept-to, code of conduct, and it wasn''t advisable to go beyond it-though the limits now would certainly be revised from what they were then!

Thecanaryfan 0 Posted August 29, 2010 I think the point here is that certain fans apperas to be surfacing who dont understand the Norwich ethos. Ive always been proud of the behaviour of our fans but just recently the behaviour has caught my attention. Of course the older fans are going to be preturbed by this. True its part of football but its not always been part of Norwich. I just hope it doesnt exaserbate because I dont want to be chanting my team on with thugs and cretins.

Mick Dennis 0 Posted August 29, 2010 This is one of those subjects, surely, where there is not a binary, he''s right/he''s wrong response to a thoughtful post. The respondents who have answered by swearing, albeit with asterisks, rather make CantonsHero''s point for him.My sons are both men now, but I started taking them to matches when the youngest was six (21 years ago). When you do take young children to football, you view the constant swearing very differently. And those sitting near kids ought to behave with a little restraint and decency. It''s not much to ask. Shouting and showing "passion" doesn''t have to involve swearing, unless you have a limited vocabulary.But -- and this is something that always gets my goat -- fans are entitled to expect stewards to have an equitable attitude: to deal with both sets of supporters in the same way.So, yes, the stewards at Forest yesterday were polite and not at all aggressive. One woman steward was very helpful to my wife at half-time. Compare and contrast with the jackbooted jobsworths at Southampton and Plymouth.But Forest fans in the Main Stand stood up repeatedly and for prolonged spells and were not asked to sit. So when Norwich fans were asked to sit, it felt unjust -- because it was unjust.Much more importantly, though, City were excellent. The defensive organisation yesterday was outstanding. Lambert deployed his usual midfield diamond, but when Forest had possession Wes was our first line of defence, harrying their deep-lying “quarter-back”. We kept our shape brilliantly but the midfield and back four shuffled over to wherever the threat was, so that we were pressing in packs. Brilliant. We’ll be all right in this division.OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Slob 0 Posted August 29, 2010 I stood the whole match, even though the stewards asked us to sit. It''s a football match for god sake, i don''t get why they make you sit? A guy 2 rows behind us had a go at us for standing, even though pretty much everyone towards the back was standing for the whole match. Surely by going to an away match if you want to sit you make sure you get seats at the front, or don''t go at all. I''m fed up of fellow supporters asking others to sit down. The atmosphere was much better when we were all standing. I appreciate some older supporters may not be able to stand for the duration, but surely ask for seats at the front not 5 rows from the back. He then questioned our support for the club, and told us that we should respect our elders.

CantonsHero 0 Posted August 29, 2010 Personally, when I rang the ticket office I wasn''t asked where I wanted to sit, and was just given seats.I think a lot of us are spoiled by Carrow Road. The fact is there that for the most part the stands are so well structured that you have such a good view of the whole pitch, but at these other grounds it can be difficult. For the most part I thoroughly enjoyed yesterday after about twenty minutes because the fans causing issues settled a bit, and then we had the injustice over going behind which kind of took over the feelings, but that initial period was summed up by requests to sit down being met by "Stand up if you hate the scum"; now I don''t know who that was about, but it''s immature. It was the first negative game experience I had since Exeter when my girlfriend got hit in the face by the ball, and the fans spent 90 minutes abusing our players. Since then it''s generally been pretty good including a highlight of the Walsall game where even though we were losing, Leeds were getting thrashed and everyone was joyous and well natured. And then we won, and everyone was laughing cause we''d been crap.My post was really just a plee: They will let you stand up intermittintly; if you want to have a chant or see some exciting action, but if you are asked to sit down, go along with it; make their job easier will make our job eaasier.See you at Deepdale.
