I feel for you JWM, must be truly awful.......................... There are plenty of other football clubs to support though.
You to mate, Its good have a bit of banter now the football and finger pointing is almost finished. I think both clubs had semi-successful seasonsin some ways.
I am from Lowestoft too. I know a couple of Binners but most people are Norwich fans of the two clubs.
Not a case of what I would have done differently, but of what might have happened differently. When I was 16 I applied to join the Merchant Navy and was accepted as an apprentice Deck Officer on condition I passed the medical, which included an eyesight test. I failed the test, took it again, failed again. End of Merchant Navy dream. Two years later I was called up for National Service and applied for the Royal Navy. I took exactly the same eyesight test, and passed. My vision has always been great and I have never had any problems with it; I've no idea why I failed the test at 16. But I do know that if I had passed, the rest of my life would have been totally different. I was cut up at the time but it taught me a valuable lesson, not to invest too much of myself in events panning out in one particular way.
Now the truth is out, I expect considerably more respect on here, especially from uppity Moderators -- and a key to that cupboard. And I don't want comparative youngsters lecturing me any more on how long they've been Canary fans.
They were all imported in for reasons of aesthetics and basic intelligence, could you imagine REAL Ipswich folk on a programme of that ilk, rabid townsfolk foaming at the mouth on reading the front pages of the Mail and Sun. Pitchforks flying through the air, a cacophony of chimpanzee squeals, people eating the fleas from the person in front. No,no no, not at all appropriate for the BBC. ITV however.................
People in glass houses... You know when Question Time comes from Norwich as the title music is played by a Banjo!
Fascinating read this. If I look back now, there might be one or two things I'd change, but they'd be minor. Even when things were hard at work, I realize now that the hard times also made possible later opportunities like working on projects in Africa and Asia that wouldn't have come otherwise. I still sometimes wish my wife and I had retired to the Fine City, so I could get to more matches, but as Cornish Canary says, Cornwall is a beautiful place to live and my wife is Cornish, so it's home to her.
