I took some hurt last season especially after marathon days at Watford , Leicester and especially Villa where the no-show was beyond belief . Yes its the easiest thing in the world to be a keyboard warrior in warm room , but try standing out in the open in torrential rain at Villa , try standing shivering at Peterborough station for an hour after late running trains mean you have missed your Norwich connection . Try getting up at 6am and getting back at 11pm to follow and support NCFC at Watford . Those games alone produced 3 defeats and not a single goal scored . Maybe all those aways (I only saw 1 away win at Sunderland) coupled with home defeat after home defeat , have made me a bit bitter towards Rab and his team selections , and players who are not fit to wear our yellow shirt .
But despite what has been levelled at me by the obnoxious Diss Flyer I DO care about NC . I go to every home game when I am here at great cost to my tiny pension . I will be going to Fulham , QPR, Burton , Huddersfield and Sheff Weds , and again will be spending over £3000 on tickets , train fares , hotels , beer and food for myself and Mrs YB . Literally the last spare pennies I have go on following Norwich , and I can honestly say that I have gone without some thing I need to buy my football tickets . I need the money tomorrow to buy the Rotherham home game tickets , and only 3 days after the cost of that day out I need to find the money for Fulham away tickets , train and Oyster and money for a long day out in London
I dont think I am a hero as many fans do more games than me , but compared to dispossabe income , I am at the limit in what I do
In return I ask 4 simple things
- I ask that the manager does his best for us fans and plays his best players in their very best positions
- I ask that every player who wears our yellow shirt to put 100% effort in 100% of the tiime
- I ask that the Board use everything at their disposal to get us into the Premier League AND keep us there
- I expect not to be verbally abused by someone on here if I express and opinion or am upset because the first two points have not been adhered to
