barclaystand 0 Posted November 14, 2012 I''m prediciting far too many Plastic Manc fans in the home areas on Saturday. I know of two ''supermembers'', only one of which is a City fan, that have bought their allocation of four tickets for themselves and their Manc supporting family.So out of those four seats, three are taken by ManUre fans. That, my fellow City fans, gets my Goat. [:@] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gingerpele 0 Posted November 14, 2012 What exactly could he do?Phone up the ticket office and say his super member friend (who he doesn''t even know personally so its all irrelevant) has bought tickets for Man.U fans? They phone up this super member, he says they are for Norwich fans... They aren''t going to reclaim the tickets because someone tells them they''ve been bought for Man.U fans. They going to ask for all the people who are going with the super members phone numbers and quiz them on Norwich City history?Maybe ask them what was Andy Hughes favourite breakfast cereal, only the die hard Norwich fans know that...

Gingerpele 0 Posted November 14, 2012 We had large attendance''s in the Championship (around the 26,000 mark) , and 24,500+ in League One most of the time if I remember correctly.Now we get 26,800 ish, and everyone panics about plastics. If those 1-2000 people weren''t bothered in League One and the Championship, and i''m talking about actual Norwich fans now, are these the ones who take the seats up now? Or is it just plastic fans?Personally i''ve only remembered seeing 3 West Ham fans next to me this season, they were quiet all game, never clapped anything we did, there were no goals to get exited either way over, so I can''t be sure but i''m fairly sure they were West Ham Fans. But any other game i''ve not noticed any fans supporting the other team. I will admit I got a couple of tickets for a older friend of mine and his Dad who was visiting from York, they are Liverpool/York supporters but had never been to Carrow Road, so got them tickets for QPR game, they sat in the N&P and cheered on Norwich and enjoyed the game. Anyone who supports Norwich and can''t get to all/many games is fine in my book, I already said that. But how many of these people regularly miss out on tickets? And how many real plastics actually turn up? I can''t imagine its many. And i''d also imagine you get fans of the opposition side, or neither side turn up to a lot of games, not just games at Carrow Road.I really don''t think its as big a issue as many on here would have you think...

Gingerpele 0 Posted November 14, 2012 Poor old Andy Hughes, he tried.I''m sure in Hucks autobiography he said that Hughes was supposed to be an attacking midfielder, possibly even a striker? So why was it he was so much better when moved to RB, and then pretty much only played FB after leaving us? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

King Klose 0 Posted November 14, 2012 Like when we filled Portaloo Rd for the 5-1 game. They all thought for 1 game they actually had some fans, little did they know it was all City fans in disguise. Bless ''em. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
K Lo 233 Posted November 14, 2012 My dad & I stood in the away end with the Cov. scoundrels for the last game of the season the other year, amongst, as we later found out, many other under-cover Norwich fans.

THAT is what gets MY goat.im sure if you arnt a plastic and go to games you could point them out. i do whenever i see a non norwich fan in the home areas. F**k ''em they should either buy an away fan ticket or support their local team like a real fan, they wont do the latter, so its the end of the jarrold or nadda!
