priceyrice 133 Posted February 8, 2011 sorry just a quick question as this always bothered me when i was a season ticket holder, not sure if it still goes on now, i just remember it from when i was a kid. Anway i was wondering if anyone knew what the whole malarky was when during a game at Carrow Rd you would sometimes here over the speakers something like ''Mr. Carrow is in the Barclay, i repeat Mr. Carrow is in the Barclay''. Does anyone know what this is/was about? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drazen Muzinic 1,502 Posted February 9, 2011 Never mind Mr Carrow - what happened to the old Steptoe-like bloke who used to push the trolley of goodies round the perimeter trck before kick off and at half-time in the 80s? He''d be a ripe old age if he''s still about. Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeets, Chocolates, Hot Drinks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faded Jaded Semi Plastic SOB 1,220 Posted February 9, 2011 The ironic thing of course is that we all know that "Mr Carrow" is code for "all is not well", so any attempt to prevent panic is doomed the moment the "bing bongs" sound and the announcement commences "Mr Carrow.....", everybody is waiting to see if it is their stand that is affected , poised to leg it to safety. Wouldn`t it be great if we got "Bing, bong...Mr Carrow has woken up in the Norwich and Peterborough stand".....or "Bing bong Mr Carrow has given Smudger a nasty chinese burn because he is a very naughty boy"...
