Oops didn't see the other fa cup post. So need to create something different. 18:33 - Dec 7 with 2898 views | FrimleyBlue | Flares and flags v norwich is a terrible idea. We lose we look like idiots. It's a league game midway through season. However. It did look amazing last time. And will probably look as good this time so I'll enjoy seeing it after. [Post edited 7 Dec 2023 18:37]

And then McKenna and the players all said how fantastic it was and how it spurred them on. I suppose because you said that in the past it doesn't count now? You never learn do you? |  |

I didn't like the idea. But it looked fantastic which i said when It happened and after. I'm caught with this game. It did and will look brilliant no question. But it's a game midway through the season against a side 19 points behind us and is just a league game with nothing riding on it other than 3 points. As said I'll enjoy seeing it after it happens. But I do find it odd for a Dec league fixture. |  |

Pride comes before a fall and all that, I think of all the local derby games I've been to over the past 30 years home and away, never needed to "create an atmosphere" to get excited for this game. But let them have their fun, be more room for us curmudgeons in the pubs pre match đ |  | |  |

Make it loud, proud and unbelievably hostile. If Paul Hursts gang of losers could manage a draw at home with one of their best sides ever, McKennaâs sexy footballers should be able to trounce their mid side at home. 4-0 at the break, 6 to finish and send them crying about their so called yo yo triumphs home. Itâs time. Theyâve had their day. [Post edited 7 Dec 2023 19:55]

It's more a connection with the players. And excitement. Nothing to do with pride, cos not a single thing about getting excited and carried away like this suggests we think the game is won before it begins. Beggars belief any fellow fans don't get it. For the record, I'll be nowhere near it... either pissed and babbling in a pub or tutting cos I'm driving :) |  |

Itâs the first derby in years where we wonât have Marcus Evans hindering the team with his incompetent ownership. Nah, letâs go for it. Light those flares, unfold your flags and f**cling bounce like tigger on acid. Blue smoke, red smoke, white smoke, orange smoke. CMONNNNNMMM. |  | |  |

If I was younger I'd probably be all over it tbh but I'm a boring git now so happy enough to watch the town in 5 vids after and enjoy the scenes then. |  |

Get your lazy arse down to Portman road I will even give you directions if needed and just enjoy it. Of course it could end up not the way we hope or expect but football is entertainment and living the dream so support your team in person not from your armchair. Go on |  | |  |

I've heard some weird comments about "feeling silly if we lose".. That all sounds a bit narcissistic and pessimistic , Imo. Exeter at home was our most blistering first 45 under KM, after that "welcome" last season. More of the same against Norwich, please. The players loved it. |  | |  |

Its never about " just the three points " when we play them. How do you not get this ? |  | |  |

Quite right. In general, I absolutely relish feeling silly when I get things wrong, it's massively liberating and the jolly old ego can go and slink off back to its corner. Mind you, I have had a lot of practice at feeling silly. Not so much the other dwarves. |  |

To the point about fans... the clue is in the name innit... there are plenty of good folk who follow Town and support via various means, big or small, but they aren't really "fans" if they don't get the local derby is more than an opp to win another three points. Me personally, won't take part cos I'm a lazy old fart who wants to sit around talking sh1te somewhere warm right up until kickoff. I really don't understand the negativity though... seems like some are overthinking it or simply being miserable sods. COYFB! |  |
