    not being funny crowey, but nobody over here has asked for any sympathy. if the more grown up ones from norwich want to post something like that then i don't feel that they should be attacked like the way you did.

    Thanks, Genuinely didnt know that happened. Not that I agree with it but if as a fanbase we give it out then we have to take it in return.

    ok,ok.They were £5,£10 and £20 notes being waved.I remember it very well because I thought to myself "****,they really are going places".
    Well you are.League 1.
    I also remember the **** on 606 and the **** I got from the binners.( I unfortunately work in Suffolk).
    What goes around and all that lads.

    When we got relegated to the third tier of English football for the first time in our history a few years ago we had lots of 'well wishers' gloating on our board (the old 606) especially our near neighbours from Cov .. how fortunes have reversed eh? - proving the fickle nature of football. So don't despair, even if you are relegated (and you still have very good prospects of turning it around) the 'bigger teams' that have come up from League 1 in recent years have either gone on to the Prem (Swansea, Southampton, Norwich) or are currently (and often annually) challenging for promotion e.g us, Forest, Leeds, Brighton, Blackpool, Hull ...

    That relegation was the best thing that happened to us, in hindsight; we had been mediocre for years before it and it enabled us to strip out the dead wood and unjustifiably high wage earners and return leaner and meaner - indeed we were unlucky to lose to Cardiff in the play-off semi in our first year back. We also had a season in League 1 visiting some grounds we had never been to and mixing with 'proper' football fans at those clubs - really enjoyed it.

    So chins up - footballing fortunes literally change with the seasons

    Couldnt agree more,some great days out in L1.When you visit some of those grounds you realise how lucky you are.

    Would rather not take the risk of rebuilding from League 1 - for every Norwich and Southampton there are those that sink without a trace or struggle for years. Coventry are still floundering and Sheff Utd have apparently been too big for league 1 for years but are still there. As you say Fosse, things change rapidly in football and we never know what will happen next.
