Nope. You're wrong!

This is not another post about how I'm happy we are never praised as it means we stay 'under the radar'.

Instead, this post relates to the below article.

Now plenty of us know that the club are going to be in the new EPPP Category One status, but its interesting to see that we are already getting 'development centres' around the country in an attempt to get youngsters on board with Norwich City. This isn't the only centre we are creating as far as I'm aware - there will be others further afield. Interestingly, this particular one is in Bury St Edmunds, right under the nose of our dear neighbours. The fact we are labeled 'Premier League', for kids as young as 8 who may not have any allegiance to a football club or who can be quite easily influenced, this is a bright idea and may make a difference between growing our own fan base into Suffolk, as well as cherry-picking the best youngsters in the county.

Ricky Martin, Paul Lambert, David McNally - it doesn't matter which one it is, they always seem to be one step ahead...
 
I was going to start a thread along the same lines Supers, but once again you beat me to it ! <grr>

With Town's attendances falling like a stone, it doesn't look like they will improve much in the near future either does it ? Like you say, we're "one step ahead" of our neighbours here, poaching young players and hopefully young fans ! <ok>
