Forever Norwich 0 Posted August 28, 2010 I am running the ipswich half marathon on sunday and am toying with the idea of wearing the entire norwich strip for the occasion ! :-) would it be idiotic or should i just take any abuse on the chin and go for it ?

Blurboy1980 36 Posted August 28, 2010 Do it for charity and im sure you can raise a few pounds if people know you are doing that :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nolly 0 Posted August 28, 2010 sure go for it, should raise some interesting comments! I once was in Ipswich for New Years Eve and wore my City shirt then, got lots of surprised looks and sarcastic comments but that was all, good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Chops 7 Posted August 28, 2010 Go for it! I saw three runners wearing Norwich City kits at this year''s London Marathon... they finished well ahead of me, but at least I beat George Burley. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I saw three runners wearing Norwich City kits at this year''s London Marathon... they finished well ahead of me, but at least I beat George Burley.[/quote]Yes, but running through cosmopolitan London - where they''ve seen it all - is a bit different than running the colours through no-go Ipswich.That said as it''s for charity, so, apart from the verbal abuse you''ll probably be OK. MC mentioned George Burley so on a Scottish theme why not get a pair of bagpipes to go with the kit ? You''ll look vaguely like that Scottish piper who played the pipes as they marched up the beach on D-Day. The German snipers didn''t shoot him as they thought he was mad so there''s a reasonable chance Ipswich''s finest will think the same and let you live.Oh, on second thoughts, just wearing the kit on it''s own will have the same effect......
