Come on Orange. It's hardly the glittering west end. How is Mrs Orange? Have you rekindled the flame after her indiscretion with your pal?
Having been born and raised in the Ipswich area as a Hull fan, my local options were pretty much limited to the latter.
I was there during all of that. At one time I had been in 9 of our 10 lowest ever crowds. My wife was with me in our second ever lowest league crowd of 2,037, or something like that.Down to7 of them now as missed a couple of midweek ones when working shifts. Pleased to say both my kids are City fans despite us leaving Hull before they started school and them being surrounded by kids with usual big teams shirts on. And I didn’t force it on them. Took them to matches when they were little. But they both decided you should support your local club, one you can go see, rather than one you have no connection with from your armchair. Whenever they have done something which had me in despair down the years I think at least I am not a total failure as a parent,they both support City. I remember going in the pub when we got off train after playing Cardiff and going back up to the PL my lad telling a load at the bar that they could go on about Man Utd and Liverpool for the rest of the lives but they would never experience the feeling he had just had watching his home town club get promoted. I can think of 4 lads around same age as me, 3 of them now deceased but but saw all their kids who are the same ages as my two on the train back from City last season.
I have always liked Ipswich for convoluted reasons since 1959. Theirs, .Hearts and Fiorentiina are the results I always look for after City, all for different reasons,
I'd be delighted to be proven wrong and see it happen(fan base continuing to grow) but I very much doubt there'll be the requirement to expand or move.We drew big crowds towards the tail end of last season due to the Club making large reductions to match day ticket prices and giving tickets away..
Kings Lynn is one of the most boring places on earth. Feel like people underestimate Hull a bit until you see some other **** places. Quite like Banham zoo though
Had a good night out there om way back from Norwich. Probably because we hsd beatem them 3-0 in the Cup and numped into some Ipswich fans who insisted on buying drinks.
I completely agree with you post but in today's game I don't think it's a massive deal. Hypothetically, even if we had an extra 10,000 members who spent £300 each, it's only an extra £3m. You can blow that easily on a few **** signings. Recruitment is pretty much the be all and end all. When you can sell a good youngish Championship player for 8 figures, the strategy of 3/4 of the league seems stupidly clear to me.
There's more to do on Kottingham Avenue than in Great Yarmouth! The only good thing about GY is that it's the gateway to the southern Broads. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
Whilst we are waiting for our signings... Harry Kane has apparently agreed personal terms with Bayern... whether that means Tottenham will have their hand forced who knows... meanwhile Harry Winks looks like signing for Leicester..
