Most downvotes wins. Genuine opinions only.

Jonathan Douglas was nowhere near as bad as people make out

Season Ticket Holders shouldn't get to go to all the home games when we are in the PL.

Where do I collect my prize?

Unpopular opinion: Season Ticket Holders have it too good .... by DarkBrandon 9 Dec 2024 16:27
... and the number of them means we are probably preventing thousands of more casual supporters coming along and enjoying the ride (and then becoming more active supporters of tomorrow).

Season ticket holders have:
* Their pick of the seat
* Every home game
* With their mates
* Priority on away tickets [Edit - apparently this isn't a thing]
* Get to resale the games they can't make
* All for a discount

Casual supporters have to
* Pay for a membership
* Scramble for the few remaining tickets, many of which are restricted view
* And pay a premium for each ticket.

Whilst many STHs have been attending games for many years, plenty haven't been, and I think the balance has moved too far.

I'd propose that each season ticket should entitle you to entry to 18 of the 19 home league games. Different STHs would miss different games (possibly decided randomly, possibly on a block-by-block basis) and this would free up ~1000 extra seats each game which could be balloted amongst all the people locked out of regular games.

I'm aware mightily p.ssing off your most loyal customers isn't recommended in most business textbooks
I'm also aware we might well go down, KM leave and we'll return to more normal levels of demand without the need for any of this.

Luke Chambers is not a club legend and was part of our worst team(s) in history. Also played a big part in our downfall.

Play off semi aside, Magilton's time at Town is massively overrated and we could have benefited from sending him out to pasture (Colchester) a lot sooner.

Jaime Peters should have been given much more of a chance. He had a good work rate and could tackle. I would have tried him at DM.

I know it would have worked because I remember signing him for my Coventry team on Fifa and playing him there

Truly impaired.

It's embarrassing that we make a big deal of beating Arsenal at home in the League Cup semi final when everyone knew they'd beat us easily in the second leg.

True! Douglas was actually considerably worse than people make out.

My unpopular opinion?

Jens Cajuste is a show pony player. One goal (a consolation one), zero assists in a whole season. Doesn’t hurt teams and went missing when the team was struggling. Fitness issues.

David McGoldrick was overrated.

Always thought he struggled to strike the ball particularly well a lot of the time. Obviously some goals he scored would contradict that, but I stand by it.

Poll: Pick a goal to win the derby in stoppage time...

To the outside world, there's very little difference between Ipswich and Norwich.

Before trashing the club, Marcus Evans purchase probably saved us from complete financial oblivion and possibly going to the wall.

Marcus Evans did some really good things for ITFC. Evidence -

Taking care to sell us to a good buyer, not the first one/s who came along.
Creating at least one more supporter for us, ie his daughter.

I suspect a net loss in overall (active) support though, but who knows on that one!

Overall, Norwich have been better than us over the last 20 years. Got to be worth some downvotes.
