    Norwich City Message Boards - Where Are They?

    Been looking for Norwich's NSC - but Google only comes up with a scattering of poorly populated sites. Surprising for such a well-supported club. Don't they do message boards up there?.

    Going Up at Last! (The Hotel)

    Just visiting yesterday, hadn't realised they'd already started on-site. Not quite Jack Straw material, but something new to gawp at. Anyone know when it's due for completion? NB Tried to attach a site picture but the uploader doesn't seem to be working. Any tips?

    Wolves Fans Anticipating Amex Agony

    The evidence is all here. With many brave wolves shunning the trip altogether, others are expecting to queue for an hour for trains from a 'horrible, soulless ground' that of course is 'in the middle of nowhere'. And with no pubs anywhere near the ground 'The Swan is home fans only' [although it...

    Leeds United Official Site - Off Air

    Been down all morning. What can it all mean?

    Only in America, cont:- US boy, three, shoots both parents in New Mexico

    Beyond parody, this is surely The Onion come to life. From the BBC website today:- "A three-year-old American boy has shot his mother and father with the same bullet after pulling a gun from her handbag, police say. The incident took place in a motel room on Saturday afternoon in Albuquerque in...

    Brentford Forum – any good ones?

    Looks like Brentford fans – a decent bunch, for sure – aren't served too well by message boards. A Google search comes up with Beesotted which, on closer inspection, looks a bit sparse, and carries some very odd information about the Amex – 22,500 capacity, 50 minutes by train back to Brighton...

    Does Hughton do Huddles?

    One of the most ludicrous sights ever seen at the Amex was surely that impromptu exhibition of synchronised huddling, featuring the begrappled players of Reading (how very Waitrose of them) and the Albion (who should realise this sort of thing is best left down at Duke's Mound). Has anyone ever...

    Will it always be the Amex from now on?

    Stadium sponsorship deals come and go. Huddersfield's McAlpine Stadium later became the Galpharm and is now the John Smith's. With the Baseball Ground history, Derby County's Pride Park Stadium has since become the iPro, Leicester City's Walkers Stadium is now the King Power, Bournemouth's Dean...

    Mac Repairs in Brighton - Recommendations?

    My other half's MacBook Pro has a charging/battery problem. Black x inside battery icon, powers off if mag cable connector unplugged. To avoid the dreaded Apple Store and iWateringBill (TM) experience, who would NSC's finest recommend to take a look and fix this?

    Stand or Fall

    For anyone unaware of why these words appear at the back of the North Stand... From the Kohima Epitaph When you go home Tell them of us and say For your tomorrow We gave our today. From Sussex by the Sea And when you go to Sussex, Whoever you may be You may tell them all that we stand or...

    We should be beating teams like Brighton...

    Not a direct quote, just yet. But who'll be first to spot this sobering oppo message-board indication of our sad decline?

    Sussex By The Sea – Why the Key Was Changed

    A few words of explanation for the different version of SBTS played out yesterday. The original that is normally played is perfectly fine to sing along to, IF all you’re going to sing is the “chorus” (technically, the refrain) “Good Old Sussex By The Sea…” etc. But here’s what happens when...

    Tomorrow: Good Work - or Woodwork?

    With Albion (15 strikes) bettered only in the Hit Woodwork league by Leicester, QPR and Yeovil (16 each), will we be topping that chart of disappointment after tomorrow's game? Whatever happens, we'll never witness a more sublime solo performance of the crossbar crash than this, from the Master...

    Yeovil Town Fans' Message Board

    Do they actually have one that works? Tried clicking the Forum link on Ciderspace - but it's dead. Any others?

    Leicester fans – "Pearson Out!"

    Immediately after their humiliating exit from the play-offs last May – this following a season-ending slump, with play-off placing secured only at the last-minute – the Leicester message boards were stuffed full of foul-mouthed invitations for Nigel Pearson to clear off. He had obviously lost...

    [Palace] An amusing take on Crystal Palace FC - and its fans

    ...by this Chelsea blogger. Fine writing, with insight and wit. And, to be fair, some excellent responses too from our friends up the road. If only more 'banter' were at this level, instead of the knuckledraggers' mutual abuse seen elsewhere.

    Why I Don’t Sing at the Amex?

    With all the excitement building of a home game (sorry, massive game) against Middlesbrough, thought it might be useful to find out why so many of our supporters don’t make very much noise. So, a poll. Hardly scientific, admittedly, but some horrible truths might possibly emerge from the...

    Cash Converters vs American Express. A tale of two Cities?

    This particular pairing seems almost poignant, in terms of all those brand identification and stakeholder affinities bollocks. Any other sponsorship clashes that seem made for each other?

    Sunderland fans all gushing about Gus - Deja Vu, anyone?

    Get a load of this. Their conversion to eulogising the Uruguyan all looks horribly familiar. Wasn't NSC a bit like that, once upon a time?
