Making Plans 936 Posted April 20, 2012 It originates from an excellent book about City & the excellent 1993/4 season.The book is called Norfolk ''N'' Good & it''s by Kevin Baldwin.Best book ever written about NCFC by a mile.Get hold of a copy if you can, it''s brilliant stuff.You won''t be dissapointed - I''ve read my copy 10+ times & it still makes me laugh.Classic line in the first chapter (first game of the season, Arsenal away on Saturday 15th August 1993 & we''re 2 nil down before half time)Even at this early stage of the season, the man standing next to mefelt the need to retire for a few minutes of quiet contemplation. "F-*k this, I''m going for a pasty", he said. We won the game 4-2 & the rest is history. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Badger 2,405 Posted April 20, 2012 Making Plans (or should I call you you Kevin?) - it pre-dates this. Years ago, there was a case of someone that tried to register "Norfolk ''n Chance" as a racehorse. Surprisingly, they spotted it and permission for the name was refused.

The reps nearly choked when they announced our team name over the microphone! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jacko 0 Posted April 21, 2012 Fantastic read. I have read it a couple of times and it is a fantastic account of the best season we will probably ever. Some really stuff. Kevin Baldwin was very unlucky because I think "Fever Pitch" by Nick Hornby happened to be released about a couple months before his book. Had it been the other way around it is not impossible that Baldwin''s book could have got that level of acclaim. It was certainly good to have done in my view.
