Who else is with me? A 400 second protest against what has happened this weekend…
Of course I’m being facetious here and please nobody actually do this. I know what happened / didn’t happen Saturday has wound a lot of people up (and rightly so) but we need to look forwards and put it behind us, much like the result.
I may have been one of the ones to get a ticket if there had been a few hundred more on sale but the way I look at it is that the club’s (possible) misstep has just saved me from a depressing journey back home and some manhandling from Norfolk constabulary.
Now isn’t the time for us to turn on the club. Five cup finals to go. Uppa Towen. |  | | |  |

Innit.
Hopefully the club does something to at least acknowledge the sh1t show that Norwich ticketing was and puts measures in place to make sure it doesn't happen again.
That said it's the time for unity. Hooge game Wednesday against Watford, a win would set us up lovely for Boro on Saturday, and the chance to go into a bit of a break in the season on 93 (NINETY THREE) points, guaranteed to still be in the top 2 by at least 1 point, and with it all in our hands going in the the final 3 games of the season.
OGAAT though, lets get the W against the Hornets and keep pushing. |  | | |

Should have been a quick Monday morning apology, “hands up, we misjudged the situation, won’t happen again” statement. Fuss over, we all move on. |  |

Yeah, it's like they're taking the government approach - stay quiet and hope it all goes away.
Saying that, it's not the players fault and they need all the support we can give on Wednesday. |  |

I emailed Ashton yesterday and got a response from him this evening (surprised still, though, that there's no official line). Brief summary:
Why don't you trust us?
Wasn't 400.
Usual processes followed in line with every game (player comps and staff allowed a batch of tickets).
No apology, or answer to the question of how many were taken from the allocation, or how affected fans will be identified and put right.
I don't go to many away games myself - I'm sure the regulars will be able to form an opinion on the veracity of Ashton's claims that this is no different to usual. | |

If it wasn’t 400 why did Norfolk Police tweet mention 1600 Town fans? Something doesn’t add up. | |

I’ll be honest, I don’t think it’s a huge issue, nothing out of the ordinary.
I’ve used comps from friends, both at Ipswich, and for other teams, both for ‘big’ league games, and cup finals etc.
It’s standard for the club to allocate comps to players, staff & commercial partners, usually between 2 & 4, and almost certainly all the tickets for Norwich will be taken. |  | | |

Get a grip, forget it and move on as we are going for promotion.
We lost the game (again) and a few (we all know it wasn’t 400) fans didn’t get to see us lose, laughable what some people get upset about. | | | |

People are entitled to be upset if they were one of those who may have got a ticket, but yes, the players weren't at fault and need our support. Let's put it behind and give the lads our full support. They have earnt it, so let's give it. |  | | |

....so technically he's correct.
He really isn't the sort of character to admit he's ever done anything wrong and will make various vague comments on every matter without committing to anything specific. That way he can never get called out on anything.
I've come across dozens of senior managers like him in my life.

This is a matter for a fans forum not PR. By all means make your own thoughts known and protest in your own special way but for me PR is about promotion this season not voicing grievances over ticket policy. | |

but the reality is actually no they arent entitled to be upset about it at all.
the away tickets didnt sell out on the first day, that meant anyone who had been to enough away games to get enough points to match the criteria would have got a ticket, and so those that didnt get a ticket just didnt go to enough away games.
its that straightforward, theres nothing to get annoyed about here, people are just angsty because we lost, move on. | | | |

Absolute nail on the head. Had we won no one would have given a toss.
Build a bridge and get over it. Onto Watford! |  | | |

Yes, the idea that fans can't hold two thoughts at the same time about Saturday is all rather patronising. As is the idea that still being a bit irritated about the tickets is more important to any Town fan than wanting three points tomorrow. |  |

I couldn't disagree more. Had we won, no one would have given a solitary. We'd have finally ended that hoodoo and moved further clear of Leeds. [Post edited 9 Apr 10:24]

Perhaps a chant of '400' '400' '400' '400'
might be more fitting, then forget the Norwich fiasco on and off the pitch and concentrate on beating Watford. | | | |

I find it incredible that a town fan wouldn’t be annoyed that Shirley, who is married to Greg who stands on the entrance of the centre spot restaurant, got to watch ITFC beat ncfc at Carrow Road, even though she took a book and didn’t watch a single moment.
But then I guess sone fans are just better than others. | |
