lake district canary 4,759 Posted February 22, 2014 Never more needed than now.Siege mentality. Hostile to all clubs who visit it. The team and crowd were terrific against ManCity. More of the same needed against Spurs.Get in there! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Firedawg 3 Posted February 22, 2014 Herman, do you honestly think we will stay up ? I am not defeated - yet and I am praying for few points from somewhere but this is the first season where I want the ''scousers ,mancs and chelski'' to win. Previous seasons I loved it when smaller clubs won as I always felt our '' destiny'' was in our own hands but not this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Herman 11,105 Posted February 22, 2014 I''m not sure if we''ll stay up or not,it''s far too close to call. But one things for certain,we''ve had to rely on teams around messing up, to be safe, ever since we''ve been in this division. This season has been the worst out of the three for sure, but we were very close to getting sucked into the mire in the previous two as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Firedawg 3 Posted February 22, 2014 I think the problem is on paper that our run in is the worst - only good thing is if this season has taught us anything it''s that results are all over the place so we might sneak 3 or 4 points in the last 4 games. Unlikely i know but possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrs miggins 0 Posted February 22, 2014 I don''t get the pant wetting and defeatist attitudes on here. Yes we''re not in a good position in the league, but its all to play for and its so tight atm. We''re playing well, the only worry at the moment is we are having a lot of chances but not finishing them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

im spartacus canary 0 Posted February 23, 2014 i like there togetherness on and off the pitch, how they try and make it as uncomfortable as possible for the oppostion on and off the pitch, we think we are a level above that now and frankly we are not ... and i think we should have a drum as well [:D] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dubai Mark 0 Posted February 23, 2014 Agree 100% with this, certainly Palace appear to have the right attitude, and Stoke City also.....so why not, particularly as when Carrow Road is rocking and up for it, despite its relatively small size it can be intimidating, just not often enough. But, what must not happen, is that at the first sign of trouble it all goes to jelly......being strong is key, go an early goal down and it ramps up, not the other way round..........OTBC!!!!

morty 0 Posted February 23, 2014 The answer to this is that our average age in the crowd is too old.I''m not knocking folks for this, but its like God''s waiting room at Carrow road on matchdays. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dreamteam 0 Posted February 23, 2014 Morty, don''t get your agist point.When we played Fulham in the cup , the place was full of young fans as many regulars stayed away.I was there but surrounded by teenagers and younger fans who made no noise at all, in fact it was the quietest atmosphere I can remember.Next game the regulars (of all ages) were back and the noise returned.

Barclay seats 4849 the 3rd 0 Posted February 23, 2014 Sorry Morty ...but I think you are out of order to suggest that the older supporters don''y contribute to the atmosphere !! Not many "youngsters" around where I sit ,,, and it has plenty of atmosphere ...so long as we have something to make a noise about !!The youngsters not attending ?? Maybe its because too many of them are plastic trophy hunters ...unlike the older fan who has followed their LOCAL club since childhood ?Just a thought .

Tony Cottee Woz Ere . . . 0 Posted February 23, 2014 The noisiest grounds are, and always will be the ones that are mainly populated with young working class males who like a few beers. Unfortunately carrow road, as far back as i can remember has mainly been populated with pensioners, parents and their kids, couples etc. Not to mention the fact a lot of Norfolk folk are a little odd and reserved in nature. You could say the atmosphere at carrow road was ahead of the times when it comes to the sanitisation of the modern match day experience. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No evidence that NCFC are older than elsewhere.If you are talking about oddness, look around anywhere and everywhere , every Town and City full of all sorts.All reports tonight are mentioning the great crowd atmosphere today, maybe you missed that.
