If the unbelievable happened (and I would actually love to see it assuming we won). How on earth would they manage the logistics? Can you imagine! |  | | |  |

No way do Norwich get past Leeds or Southampton over two legs. |  |

They've drawn twice with Soton this season. They could do it. | | | |

I went to the play off final last yr as a Barnsley fan.
SheffieldW and Barnsley hate each other as much as we hate Norwich and they all had to come down on the same route.
Is what it is and not much they would be able to do to stop it.
Just means you will probably struggle to get a seat past Diss. [Post edited 19 Feb 2024 13:26]

Surely there's no way we will finish lower than 4th, and Norwich ain't finishing 3rd. So it's really really not going to happen. Playing them in the semis is a possibility of course. And we owe them from the Berra match. |
A bit off-topic, but in Swedish ice-hockey play-offs, the team that finishes top of the four in the play-off positions can select who they want to play in the play-off semi. I think it's fun - because it's kind of insulting to a team they pipped by one point to say 'we fancy our chances more against you than we do against a team that finished ten points below us'. Of course it's designed to take away the risk of a team throwing a game at the end of the regular season in an attempt to get their preferred opponent in the semi. |  | | |

I genuinely couldn't think of anything worse than that. At this point I just feel like we are destined not to beat them.
Id rather play Leeds than Norwich. [Post edited 19 Feb 2024 11:04]

I wouldn’t. I’d love to see us beat them at Wembley. It’d be the payback of all paybacks for their domination for all the years since Jim’s time. |  | | |

I'd imagine that BTP and Norfolk/Suffolk Constabulary would look to split the London trains, either by running a few non-stoppers from Norwich/Diss, or having a physical split on the trains themselves (although I'm not sure how that would work with regards to disabled toilets etc.,).
Once it all gets to London, I imagine that there wouldn't be too much different from a normal Play-Off final other than perhaps a slightly heightened presence on Wembley way.
The usual policing by Norfolk/Suffolk Constabulary only (to my mind, at least) serves to embolden the teenage wannabe Green Street lot, who feel that they can get away with acting out when they've got a line of police between them and the opposing fans. Take the police away and they probably wouldn't say boo to a goose. | |

I think similar used to happen in Super League with "Club Call", but was scrapped as the teams always opted for the lowest ranked team. |  | | |

There’s only so much capacity on that line, and if either club made it to Wembley, that would immediately be used as there would be additional trains.
If both made it to Wembley, there would only be so many extra trains they could put on.
Clearly they would encourage Norwich fans to go via Cambridge, but if any budgies were that determined to come down the line via Ipswich, there’s not much they could do to stop them. And that’s before you add in the ones who would get on at Diss. |  |

Yes, I struggle to see how they might manage it without inconveniencing one set (or both sets) of fans as well as the general public.
I think I probably ran it through my thoughts thinking of the usual London away attendances for both clubs, rather than a contingent of fans larger than both sides' home capacities combined. An additional 80,000-odd passengers on the GEML would not make for a fun day for anyone concerned. [Post edited 19 Feb 2024 14:54]

The difference with us and Norwich is the majority of Norwich fans will be on the train already by the time it gets to Ipswich. I presume Sheff Wed and Barnsley fans all went from Sheffield.
They would just have to pile all the Ipswich fans onto the trains that start in Ipswich and go to Liverpool Street, that usually stop at every stop in between. | |

I would just like to see Norwich fall well away from the playoffs and fester in mid table, rather than have any kind of a sniff of being able to get back to the Premier League, personally. |  |

It would work by Town absolutely ripping into them from minute One, completely restoring the balance of power in merely 90 minutes. | | | |

Fair point. Norwich > Diss > Stratford > London Liv St it is then.
I still don't think they make the playoffs to be fair. They seem heavily reliant on Sargent staying fit. I'd hate to be so reliant on the fitness/form of one player. |
You're right about relying on Sargent (with Rowe being injured) and he is just about hanging onto fitness as the old ankle injury is not fully healed. Despite our recent run of results (at home particularly) I think you have more to worry about from Coventry. They are a very good team and anyone who finishes above them will get play offs. I think Albion will get 5th and Coventry 6th. | | | |

Point of order.
Only the 40,000 wearing green and yellow would be odd passengers... |  |

They'd need a heck of a lot of rail replacement buses between Ingatestone & Newbury Park.... | | | |

Never mind the train segregation. I'd like to see how things went at Diss railway station.
Lot of blue shirts get on there heading south, lot of yellow shirts normally heading north |  | | |

I keep debating in my head if I’d like back for 48 hours if this happened. Could be the best or worst sporting day in my life but I just can’t imagine the feeling of jumping on a flight after losing to them. |  | | |

Certain carriages would be them only. With police inbetween |  |

If it happened, Ashton should lobby for us to get a larger ticket allocation due to our higher crowds.
Unlikely to happen, but would wind the six fingered fckers up nicely. |  |
