simmo_2 6 Posted December 29, 2013 Cant believe the club have removed SKY TV considering how much money comes through the door off SKY. The club has signed up to BT Sports though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ray 111 Posted December 29, 2013 Cost cutting gone over board, a business our size, with as close to guranteed income as a business can get is almost expected to have borrowings.I would like to call this the thin edge of the wedge, unfortunately it is not and services are being cut back elsewhere, alienating supporters who pay a lot of their hard earned to support the club. If the cost of going to the game came down to reflect the cuts then OK.It doesn''t stop at matchday either, there have been cuts elsewhere that leave a bad taste in the mouths of the army of people who support the club day in day out.

Phillip J Fry 0 Posted December 30, 2013 Signing up to BT sports is logical. The vast majority of Premier League early kick-offs (12:45 PM) are on BT sports, Sky have the later kick-offs (17:30). If most home games take place at 15:00, surely it makes sense to subscribe to the side that will offer pre-match football? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iron_stan 0 Posted December 30, 2013 sensible budgeting/cost cutting. also a very strong sign they started preparing for the championship long ago (i do believe mcnally stated the plan of city being a yoyo club at some point in the not so distant past)going down and clueless chris will be in charge to bring us back upprudence/ambition and all that, its ok ,cause the owners make a decent profit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bobert 0 Posted December 30, 2013 Well perhaps we all have to make cutbacks. These are difficult times. Maybe the club is being realistic and facing up to the drop at the end of the season brought about by poor player purchases and lack of management ability on the field. One has to remember that the financial guys at the club have planned for a drop in their budgets and said so at the AGM,I made a cutback this year by not renewing my membership of the Gunn Club. It was not just the membership cost but the price of the beer, the cake and the pot of tea. I also could not understand why the Club was closed during the game so preventing those of us who found the cold on the terraces just too much. On that point I watched the Man U game at my local pub instead of using my season ticket. It was warm, comfy, a very good pint and excelent company from Norwich supporters. I also had a turkey roll as good as anything I have ever had at the Club and cheaper too by far.On the subject of the game I personally feel that we could have won it if Hooper had stayed on the pitch instead of bringing Rip van Twinkle on and if our goal keeper had stayed between his goal posts. But then what do I know about the game after watching the Canaries for 35 years and more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canary On The Wire 0 Posted December 30, 2013 @BobertThe amount of time you have spent watching the game holds no relevance if you haven''t been understanding it. I abhor the attitude of ''I''ve been watching football longer than you and therefore know more about it'' It has ZERO substance or justification in argument so leave it out.''Rip van Twinkle'' (oh dear) was a like for like off the shoulder striker change for a player who wanted to come off. If Hooper had stayed on and torn his clearly tightened hamstring you''d look a right toolbox as a manager.and what? You think Ruddy shouldn''t have committed himself to come for that ball? What was he supposed to do, stand on the line and give Welbeck a free ''moving penalty?''. If anyone''s at fault it''s Bennett for a rash clearance when he should have stepped over the ball and played it out of play or back to Ruddy.Christ, I need a long lie down Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lake district canary 4,689 Posted December 30, 2013 If anybody needs a TV screen before a match that badly then maybe they would be better off staying at home and watching it. Too much staring at a screen hoping to be entertained is spilling across to matches - too much semi-comatose just sitting there thinking "go on then, entertain me". No wonder the atmosphere is so dull these days. People are anaesthetised by too much passive viewing and have forgotten how to get involved. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
