Town manager Paul Lambert has put money behind the bar in the FanZone to buy drinks for the first 125 supporters ahead of tomorrow’s game against Bristol Rovers.

“It’s just a thanks to everybody,” said Lambert, who made a similar gesture last Christmas.

“My time could end here tomorrow, it doesn’t matter, I could leave next summer or whatever the case may be, it’s a brilliant club and it’s a thanks from me to them and the support I’ve had since coming here has been great.

“I can’t thank the supporters enough and it’s just a thank you for them to have a nice time.

“We don’t play here until Boxing Day so it’s the last game before Christmas and it’s important for me just to say thanks to them.”

The first 125 supporters entering the FanZone, which opens at midday, will be given a voucher which can be exchanged for a drink, beer, wine or a soft drink.

WhoisJimmyJuan added 12:24 - Dec 13 A lovely gesture accompanied by a very curious statement. Does he know something about a possible take over of the club? Is he hurt by the boos after Tuesday's game? Has he got a better offer? Is this all part of a fiendish plot by Norwich City to undermine the club's morale and gather intelligence? Join us next week for part 2 of "The Lambert Chronicles".......

BlueySwede added 13:19 - Dec 13 Has this ever been done by former managers? I think it´s brilliant. It´s a shame that some fans surely will say it´s about goodwill. I don´t think Lambert is naive enough to think that if he don´t perform, buying drinks for supporters will count for nothing.
