Ren 75 Posted May 1, 2012 Wow! I have ordered this and I am now concerned how I might store it if its that big!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Chops 7 Posted May 1, 2012 If it''s being marketed as "History as it happened" then by rights shouldn''t it be a DVD with a running time of 110 years? Anything less is just a simulacrum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,902 Posted May 1, 2012 I have ordered this. Does anyone else have a copy of "Canaries Souvenir Scrap Book" from the 84-85 & 85-86 season. It''shundreds of pages from the Pink Un and local press for those two seasons. Not just match reports but news articles and even soapbox letters. I enjoy picking it up from time to time to read a few pages. To have that for every season would be awesome except the book is the size of a telephone directory!

Lets be aving you! 0 Posted May 2, 2012 "If it''s being marketed as "History as it happened" then by rights shouldn''t it be a DVD with a running time of 110 years? Anything less is just a simulacrum." Good point, Mr C, and cracking use of ''simulacrum''. "History as it happened" is also a bit tautologous, unless one is a neo-nazi. Ordered mine, and looking forward to leafing through its virgin pages in the close season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shack Attack 0 Posted May 9, 2012 [quote user="nutty nigel"] Does anyone else have a copy of "Canaries Souvenir Scrap Book" from the 84-85 & 85-86 season. [/quote] I''ve got that book. Covers the Milk Cup win, relegation and promotion from the Second Division the following season. My kids use it to lean on when they are drawing [:''(]. It also covers the Screen Sports Super Cup which was brought in to compensate those affected by the banning of English clubs from Europe post Heysel. It is such a little knoen tournament that there have been times when I have questioned my own memory as to whether it really ever hapened. There is a decent article on the competition at http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/blog/2011/oct/26/forgotten-story-english-super-cup although it does mention a Kevin Williams scoring for Norwich (I assume they mean David Williams). It does sum up the fact that pretty much everyone felt this was a pointless competition though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
