NORWICH NEEDS THE PROMO!

Sun May 01, 2011 5:08 pm

Hello all, exiled lad from the land of my fathers..
I have mixed feelings as though i was born in penarth,and my father being a staunch bluebird,made sure i never forgot my roots.We moved to norfolk when i was 14,and while on a mini holiday on the broads,met my otherhalf who is a Norwich fan,along with her 2 brothers(both season ticket holders,but one away with the paras in afghanistan,so i use his ticket to keep eye on rivals)..
My ideal situation would be for them to get auto and us to beat the jacks at wembley :)
But the pressure is on Norwich as for the last 10 years.they have been getting nearly capacity crowds for every game(evening when the dropped to league 1!),but cannot afford a new stadium being 23mill in debt and canot build on the present ground for same reason!
But the have been promised a new tier on the away side stand,and redevelopment on the opposite stand bringing their cap up to 40,000,BUT ONLY IF THEY ATTAIN PROMOTION TO PREM!
My otherhalfs cousin works in carrow road,and what we have been told,they are throwing money away as the amount of enquiries and applications for block season tickets has been enormous,but they cant fit them in!
So the board has told them it is essential they get promoted this season while the iron is hot and the interest is there..
This extra pressure i think will make them flunk it,and auto is ours :)

Got to admit I enjoyed my visit ot Carrow Road this season. A very good support base and in all other circumstances I would wish them promotion going on the original post. Suppose I still do wish them that, but via the play offs.

Sorry mate but where is all the money going?

Norwich have had four seasons in the premiership, numerous seasons in the top flight through the 80's and 90's, get the crowds in EVERY week and still they haven't got the cash.

If we are talking 'turns', there is only one winner. I laugh when they say QPR go up after an absence of 15 years. Spare a thought for Cardiff and Preston, how long is it????

But they need promo,orders from delia and co..thats why i think the tension will get to them either tomorrow or next week.
So although i would love us to go up via wembley beating the jacks,i think auto is ours :)
ps then i would love norwich to do swansea in the final,but after beating millwall,the jacks will now have the bit between the teeth...
Qpr
CARDIFF
jacks via play offs(Though i will support any team they meet,it maybe a good thing if they come up with us as that will be one of the relegation places taken for certain next year!)

Is it right that this season is our 50th outside of the top flight must be a record for any club that has actually been up there. :?:
