Brentwood Yellow 0 Posted November 29, 2010 "Clegg says the ground, with acapacity of just over 30,000, is just one of several building blocks thatconvinced Evans the club have huge potential. "We''ve got a massive catchmentarea. There is a small club to the north of us [Norwich] that has just been relegated. But ifyou go west you have to go all the way to MK Dons, if you go south-west, Colchester apart, you have to go all the way to WestHam."" Well, well,well Mr Clegg. That "small club tothe north" who average about 8,000 fans a game more certainly gaveyour boys a FOUR-midable lesson yesterday. Thank you for appointing Roy Keane, it has been a disaster that I havethoroughly enjoyed.

Wembley_Canary 0 Posted November 29, 2010 Good spot Brentwood Yellow, Was it Clegg who made that ridiculous comment a few years back about Ipswich getting into the Champions League within 5 years? I seem to remember it was someone within the Ipswich board. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ncfc4life 0 Posted November 29, 2010 Was anyone else a bit puzzled when the scummers were cheering ironically when the attendance was announced? Really dont know why as we get much higher crowds than they ever do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Portman Road is louder, too, what with all the noise from the jubilant away fans echoing around all those empty seats... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
