Waveney Canary 0 Posted June 1, 2013 Friendly or not a strong premier league norwich hammering a poor Ipswich at the carra why would u not want to see that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Move Klose 303 Posted June 1, 2013 It''s not that McCarthy will encourage them to challenge hard. But what''s a good way for a new Ipswich player to endear himself to his supporters and get a rousing reception, put in a heavy challenge on our players. A friendly between us and them is just degrading to the fixture. I can''t believe that a friendly that neither set of fans want can go ahead. The fact that they talk about charity and donations is because they know it''s not right, as if a donation makes it acceptable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Move Klose 303 Posted June 1, 2013 Well 69 per cent of people on the poll, the replies to mcnally on Twitter, the opinions on here would suggest that at least 1 set of fans don''t want it, I can''t see why Ipswich would want it either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Orford65 0 Posted June 1, 2013 The idea has ''money-making exercise'' written all over it and is amateurish thinking in the extreme. You cannot have a ''friendly'' match with your most-hated rivals and expect it not to cause problems either on the pitch or off it and probably both.Should''nt think the police would be too happy with the idea either.

Norwich or die tryin! 0 Posted June 1, 2013 Why the hell would we wanna let their Championship nobodys kick lumps out of our best players? Mcnally has lost the plot on this one. All NCFC STH''s should boycot the game imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crabbycanary 2 Posted June 1, 2013 If it is at FCR, I don''t know of many Prem teams who would play a mid table Championship team at home in a pre season game. Normally Prem teams would play those sort of fixtures away. If so, why on earth should we put money in their pockets? (Actually, on second thoughts, we could take our tenners with us I suppose) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ketts Rebel 0 Posted June 1, 2013 Heart says yes yes yes ! ....Wave some tenners, give them another hiding, you cant beat an old farm derby.Head says no no no ! ...Injuries damaging the season ahead, risk losing the bragging rights we have been enjoying for months.I''m leaning towards a No vote , but if tickets did go on sale.... I would go and relish every minute of it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ketts Rebel 0 Posted June 1, 2013 I have read some posts mentioning the Hospital Cup. Does anyone know why isn''t this played anymore, and who are the current holders? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smooth 114 Posted June 2, 2013 No thank you, we have a pre season tour in the us, probably some Norfolk based teams with squad player teams and I hope some European teams come to carrow road. It gives us a chance to play against opposition with a premier league style or certainly top top players.I usually go to see new players and then world class players. I do not want to see the boys from down the road, I worry that the intensity, summer heat could mean a less friendly game. Injuries can happen anytime but a derby n preseason is a game where I would worry for our players.Yes it is a money spinner, but I think when Ajax etc come we get good attendances. I am sure policing etc would be a worry for preseason.So it is a big no from me.i want to see two European teams at carrow road who play in their domestic top leagues.

BOO 0 Posted June 2, 2013 Not a chance, t would be like having a friendly Ashes game against the Aussies ! What on earth can we seek to gain from this, if it is a serious suggestion it really shows a disappointing lack of understanding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SwindonCanary 455 Posted June 7, 2013 From 1P5WICHTWTD understands that the proposed pre-season friendly between Town and Norwich City at Carrow Road will not now take place. We understand that the game, which had been pencilled in for Sunday 28th July, has been scuppered by safety concerns and the potential cost.TWTD revealed that the clubs were in discussions regarding the game late last month with Canaries chief executive David McNally confirming that the match was under consideration in a tweet last week.
