CanaryJames 0 Posted September 12, 2010 I''d have gone if it was a Saturday rather than a Tuesday night. Makes it nigh-on impossible to get back to where I live...wouldn''t get home till 8am the next day!What''s more worrying is that I gave that option genuine consideration before deciding against it!Preston, however! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ryan1992 0 Posted September 12, 2010 Really want to go, but can''t :( I have work and can''t have much time off ATM, last time we played there was a Friday night! [:@] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 2,023 Posted September 12, 2010 I''m one of the ''563'' but I fear that referee E.Ilderton has already decided the outcome of the match already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,814 Posted September 12, 2010 I am hoping Mr Ilderton recorded the Tranmere game and watched it when he got home. I am hoping he realised that it was one of the worst refereeing performances of all time. I am hoping he feels like he owes the Norwich fans. I am hoping he repays that debt on Tuesday.Am I hoping for too much? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 2,023 Posted September 12, 2010 I don''t know how we should play this on Tues night, should we give it to this bent, cheat both barrels right from the warm up before the match thus possibly turning him against us for the game (that is indeed if the outcome hasn''t already been decided, as previously mentioned), or should we bite out tongues and wait to see how he referees the match in the hope that he feels he might ''owe us one''??. I know which is probably more sensible, but I know which it is more likely to be as soon as we catch sight of his smarmy, perma-tanned face.Oh sod it.....I''m giving it to him right from the off !!!

Davo 0 Posted September 12, 2010 I just can''t make midweek games. Having to work early it''s just out of the question.Nutty I think your hoping too much, after all has that clown in a ref uniform Andy D''Uroso ever done us a favour after all the horror shows he''s been in charge of?Davo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,814 Posted September 12, 2010 Davo - I''m a sucker for giving second chances but the first poor decision against us will see me right beside GJL! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam NCFC 0 Posted September 13, 2010 I hope he does his pre-match warm up at our end... I look forward to giving the biased little c*nt the stick he deserves. Tranmere was a long expensive way to go for that sh!t. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Davo 0 Posted September 13, 2010 You have a point Nutty and I hope you are right and hopefully it was an off game but the cynic in me won''t believe it until I see it.Davo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Klose 0 Posted September 13, 2010 I cant help but feel there was something sinister about that Tranmere game because it is beyond me that a referee can genuinely put in a performance that bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GenerationA47 822 Posted September 13, 2010 A good thought, Tilly, although it looks like Donny''s season tickets are accounted for in a separate section above: 5925 is the figure given. So young Excited could be right in his assumption of home fans + away fans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjwc22 0 Posted September 13, 2010 If we can take 1000 it will be at least 10% of the total if not more like twice that on a Tuesday night.I cannot afford to go and am impressed that so many of you can - well done guys and girls, really impressive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shefcanary 2,854 Posted September 13, 2010 I rang Norwich ticket office this morning and they were quoting about 650 away tickets sold. I rang to check that tickets were being sold on the door on the night and they confirmed this, so I''m going now and given the large number of Norwich fans based in South Yorkshire I think 1,000 is achievable.As for Ilderton, its been a long time since I''ve been so angry I''ve been close to being kicked out of a pub but watched that match on Sky, and having only had 3 pints I still stood in front of the screen and ranted at him as he left the pitch. I said something along the lines of "You''ll never ref another Norwich match again". Shows how little I know - less than 5 months later and he is in charge again. I''ll give him one bad decision only before I pile in! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Excited Canary 19 Posted September 13, 2010 That may be Tilly, but on I was directed by a Donny fan to that website and they said the 2nd figure was away fans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it had been on a Saturday I have no doubt we would have sold our full allocation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tubbs & Edward 0 Posted September 14, 2010 Good grief! is that all we''ve sold? Well, me & our lad will have to move about a bit, to make us look like a bigger following. Just about to set off now. I know it''s an early departure, but our youngest, who''s at uni, lives fairly local, so we''re going to make a day of it. I can''t say that I''m really looking forward to the game, having been to Donny a couple of times before, just as a casual visitor, but who knows, it may have the makings of a decent game. They are not too far behind us in the table, but it''s early days. It''ll give the missus a chance to tidy his room, & I have no doubt that he''ll give me a swearing lesson at the game. I can see us scraping a narrow victory tonight, but it''ll be close.Typical weather for a ''northern'' game, so I''ll have to remember my flat cap & whippet! Anyway, it''s back to packing the car with more items for the student survival delivery! OTBC!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
