Picto2007 0 Posted February 12, 2004 Good afternoon Canary fans..Next Saturday against West Ham will be a very big game, and is a sell out.I think everybody should bring an extra quid with them and buy themselves a Golden Goal ticket.I will be standing in the upper Barclay (as usual). Go on treat yourselves.What do the fans actually think of the Golden Goal tickets? The reason I ask is because we don''t actually sell that many..Your thoughts....

DumbleDelia is Magic 0 Posted February 12, 2004 To be absolutely honest with you golden goal seller I''ve had a season ticket for 10 years now and I''ve never bought a golden goal ticket. It just never really appeals to me. I think if it was made a bit more exciting and you had a slightly better chance of winning I would play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canary Mark 0 Posted February 12, 2004 Personally, I like to put a few quid on at Ladbrokes at the ground. Rather then rely on ''lady luck'' with Golden Goal, its more fun trying to goal guess with first/last scorer etc and for a small stake you can win quite a bit.E.G. Norwich to win 1-0 with Easton to score I am sure would have odds of at least ten million to one (Mind you I hear he scored a great goal for Reserves)I quite enjoy having a little flutter at Ladbrokes before the game. I just wish they would put the team sheet up earlier so we know who''s playing before we bet! With regards to Golden Goal, I must admit that I have never bought a ticket.I hear that someone from scum bought a ticket the other day. He scratched it off and it said "a fortnight Tuesday"......

Picto2007 0 Posted February 12, 2004 Well I think you should both break a record of a life-time and buy one a week on Sat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DumbleDelia is Magic 0 Posted February 12, 2004 I might just break the habit of a life-time. After all, I do sit in the upper barclay! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kathy 733 Posted February 12, 2004 I have bought one in all its guises since 1965 even the paper ones where you used to tear around the corrugated bit round the edge and I have NEVER won. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DumbleDelia is Magic 0 Posted February 23, 2004 Well golden goal seller I was true to my word and bought my first ever golden goal ticket on saturday. I of course didn''t win but it was quite fun. I bought it off a friendly looking chap with stubble at the top of the middle stairwell in the upper Barclay. Was that you? (I apologise if that was you but I didn''t know how else to describe you!)Incidenly I thought you''d be curious to know that someone who sits in front of me who has bought a ticket for years gave up this year- When he was 30 seconds out! I think he was a little peeved! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Picto2007 0 Posted February 23, 2004 Hi Dumble Delia,It must have been me as I am the only Golden Goal seller in the upper Barclay.Thanks for buying one, shame you didn''t win, but I still think it''s worth a quid,Gives you something else to look out for when anyone scores.Next time you buy one from me you will have to let me know who you are.Shaun.

DumbleDelia is Magic 0 Posted February 23, 2004 I''ll do that. I might start buying them regularly but it''s just a bit daunting knowing you''ve got to get the exact second when a goal goes in. I''m sure they would be more popular if you had say, a 10 second goal bracket. Just an idea! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Picto2007 0 Posted February 23, 2004 You can be 5 seconds out either way.People do win. I have had people come up to me andsay that they have won something. I also think some of the prizes are quite good thisseason.See you at the West Brom gameShaun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canny Canary 0 Posted February 23, 2004 No more than 3 or 4 a season and usually I buy a Goalden Goal ticket.I tell you, I will never forget the one time I won. I was about 14/15 and we were playing Tottenham - 86/87? Crook curled in a great free kick and when them guys walked round the pitch with the time shown on the board & they announced it over the tannoy I just couldn''t believ it - 71 mins 47 secs - still remember the exact time!It was the 2nd Goal I think, and it won me £50 - not a lot now, but to to a 14 year old all them years ago it was a small fortune! Just to show you how long ago it was I treated myself to a Lyle & Scott jumper & thought I was the dog''s b''s when I wore it to school!So, Goalden Goal will always have a special place in my heart!
