    Sunderland crowd..

    Took my kids to Birmingham FC for a Saturday afternoon Championship game some years ago only to find there was not a penny reduction for kids when we got to the turnstile. No choice but to cough up. Also, paid over £30 to see us play away at Piswich maybe 15 years ago. That was one huge ripoff... 😡

    Perspective

    Some of the criticism of certain new players this summer is utterly brainless. As I said on another thread, Drogba took well over a year to settle in at Chelsea and look at what a player he turned out to be. Some of our supporters ought to have a very close at themselves in their treatment from...

    Anybody watched mission to burnley ?

    Drogba easily took over a season to get properly going at Chelsea.

    Season Tickets!!!

    The Norwich fans I regularly speak to are worried that Piswich will finish much higher than the Canaries. Norwich havent lost the 'local' derby for over a decade and that might well come to an end this season too.

    Season Tickets!!!

    My son had £100 on Luton picking up the playoff trophy. I paid for his train fare from Norwich and back so he had a cheapish day out. Pales into insignificance compared to my nephew who had £1000 on Luton thus the winnings paid for this seasons ST for him and his young son.

    Championship thread 23/24

    Love to see all the time wasting jumped upon but noticed the Wednesday keeper was taking way over the 6 seconds of possession in the first half. 15 or so seconds is taking the piss

    Things that don't happen nowadays

    As I recall, it was a sliding tackle that also involved a hefty punch into Bodaks ribs. On the blindside of the officials. Bodak certainly didnt want to know after that.

    Hamer

    I used to do bar work and wine waiting at the Allesley hotel when Hutch, Steino and John Craven were staying there having just signed for us. Spent many an evening serving the three of them although, to be fair, John Craven didnt push the drinking boat out too much but the other two were lightly...

    Last Away Game In The Prem

    I can vividly recall City beating Wolves 3-0 at HR to send them down to Div 2. A hat trick from the wonderful Alan Green ! Did we take the piss ?? Of course we did 😁 Did it get violent after the game ? Not so sure as I was in the Kop and headed for Ball Hill at the final whistle. Perhaps some...

    Is there any team that Sunderland dont hate ? They've got the witch sign on Portsmouth as well...

    BBC Look East...

    Not too surprisingly, BBC Look East had a big lunchtime news article about Luton Town FC and the playoff final. Probably went on for about 5 minutes with most Hatters fans thinking they've already won the game and have started celebrating already. Has BBC Midlands given us much air time over...

    Panic (More Or Less) Over. Repeat. Panic (More Or Less) Over.

    Otis. Have you booked out all the trains from Norwich to Liverpool St ??? My train I'm booked on has just been cancelled on Saturday with no reason given. Should be ok with a later train but I'm losing valuable drinking time 🤯

    Anyone else's sleep fucked?

    You could walk to Wembley from Stansted in those 6 hours... Get somebody else to deal with your luggage 😁⚽️

    So where's everyone travelling to and from?

    10.32 train down from Norwich into Liverpool St. Metropolitan line to Wembley Park but that also passes through Kings X/St Pancras where the Luton fans will be climbing on board before SBA pack the carriages out at Euston Square. Dont envisage a problem on the journey TO Wembley but might get a...

    First city game

    August or September 1966 versus Bury. We won 3-0 with the goals being 2 from Bobby Gould and the other was from John Tudor. First actual professional game was in the early 60s, Norwich v Vile at Carrow Rd. We were on holiday in the area at the time. Think it was 0-0 but remember nothing of the...

    EFL Playoff's

    Serves the Peterboro goalie right for time wasting. He was taking around 20 seconds every time he got hold of the ball. When the law says 6 seconds, why do all refs let them get away with it ? Great game to watch for the neutral!

    Burnley fans

    Back in the 60s and early 70s, Burnley used to attract small crowds compared to all other top flight teams but they were followed by a very large proportion of hoolies.... You had to be nuts or brave or both to go to Burnley away.
