Have we signed two new strikers?

I saw these two outside today and they reckoned they could form a good partnership up front. I'm not so sure.

Re: Jay is not the only 'one of our own' here today

Wasn't long after that when Chappy lost his hair. The pic is, I think, from his debut in April 2003 and he'd gone bald by the time he came back for pre-season that year.

He's not a player who has concerned himself with geography too much - Manchester United to Hull to Norwich so far. The one thing for sure, if you play for Norwich and leave, you have to move.

Re: Sunlan game - pay on gate query

One of the biggest problems we had with 'print your own' was fans selecting that option and then turning up on match day to collect tickets having not printed them. Some then complained to the ticket office staff asking them how they could print them when they didn't have a printer.
