Where do you sit at Carrow Road?
Top of the N & P
Best moment supporting City?
Many but two stand out. Beating Bayern Munich in the Olympic Stadium and the League Cup semi final win over Ipswich
Worst moment supporting City?
Again too many, oh the joys of supporting a team like Norwich. Must be boring to support a perptually succesful side, althouh I'd like to try. Probably the week in which we were relegated and kicked out of Europe after Heysel. The up side of that was how much I enjoyed the following Championship winning season. The rollercoaster again!
What do you hope to achieve by being a member of the SCG?
To ensure the board & senior managers are aware of the views and requirements of the wider Norwich City support and assist in finding ways to meet those needs.

Where do you sit at Carrow Road?
The Jarrold Stand, with my eldest daughter
Best moment supporting City?
It has to be the Canaries European run. To beat a top European side in Bayern Munich over two-legs, as well as being the only English side ever to beat them in the Olympic Stadium fills me with immense pleasure.
Worst moment supporting City?
The downside to supporting our great club, there have been too many. The very worst though has to be the 6-0 defeat at Fulham on the last day of the season that cost us our place in the Premiership!
What do you hope to achieve by being a member of the SCG?
To make sure that the interests of supporters, of all ages and background, are genuinely taken into account by the Club's Board and senior managers.

The City Stand, having completed a lap of the ground since 1959.
Best moment supporting City?
Still, I hope, to come.
Worst moment supporting City?
Realising that I've just wasted nearly an hour of my life reflecting on years of defeats, violent maniacs, awful journeys, some shameful fellow 'supporters', inappropriate stewarding and policing, ill-considered national administration, greed, apathy, and Kenilworth Road.
What do you hope to achieve by being a member of the SCG?
To enable the best possible support of the Club.

Lower Barclay
Best moment supporting City?
Top of the league at Portman Road 2003. Of all the places to go top of the league you could not pick a better place.
Worst moment supporting City?
Play-Off final at Cardiff in 2002. After trailing round the country to places like Stockport, Grimsby and Crewe etc. To be so close to Premiership and having it snatched away so close to the end was a disaster.
What do you hope to achieve by being a member of the SCG?
I would like to think in a few seasons time I can look back at my time as a member of the SCG and feel I've made a real difference

Best moment supporting City?
Being part of a committee formed to celebrate NCFC's centenary in 2002, would have loved to be transported back to 1902 to meet the gentlemen who formed the club & bring them forward to 2002 to see if their vision had been fulfilled.
Worst moment supporting City?
the end of Barclay standing terrace at Carrow road, the atmosphere, smell & camaraderie has been lost forever.

Where do you sit at Carrow Road?
Family enclosure, N&P lower
Best moment supporting City?
Single game: beating Man Utd in the Prem, great in itself but made all the sweeter by a good friend and Utd STH visiting me and being at the game - many beers were drunk that day/night!
Season: the Championship winning season, just fantastic having such high expectation of winning every game and those expectations generally coming good.
Worst moment supporting City?
Single game: Fulham on the last day of the Premiership season and seeing my son in tears as the 4th goal went in. That made it that much more personal.
Season: last season was grim in all respects.
What do you hope to achieve by being a member of the SCG?
Offer input on supporter related subjects. Assist on working parties to help shape club strategy. Make sure the club keeps its supporters at the heart of its thinking.

City Stand, level with Barclay End penalty spot, near the back
Best moment supporting City?
6 March 1985, 4 minutes to go, corner met by Steve Bruce?
"The ultimate goal" was possibly the greatest strap line under a football photograph ever utilised in an advertising campaign. Well done Poll and Withey windows!
The 48 hours, which ended with being told to keep the noise down in a bar in the centre of Munich at 4am on The 21st October 1993, were pretty good too.
Worst moment supporting City?
Losing the FA cup semi to Sunderland in 1993
What do you hope to achieve by being a member of the SCG?
Helping the club to make the best decisions in the best interest of its supporters. Winning the Champions League the season after doing the treble would be a bonus.

Jarrold Stand (Block K, Row W, Seat 120)
Best moment supporting City?
v Bayern Munich (H) UEFA Cup 1993. Not only the great atmosphere but being live on BBC and dominating the national sports news.
Worst moment supporting City?
v Sheff. Utd (H) Feb 1995. Less than two years after the heights of Bayern, I sat shivering in a half empty South Stand in a crowd of 10,000. The anti Chase movement was still trying to remove the incumbent and we had just discovered the £7 Million debt.
What do you hope to achieve by being a member of the SCG?
Gaining insight into the activity behind the scenes at Carrow Road and having the opportunity to put forward frank and honest opinions directly to club officials and directors.

Where do you sit at Carrow Road?
The press box or the press room
Best moment supporting City?
Play Off semi-final, 1st leg v Wolves in 2002. The day was great having helped decorate Carrow Road with the yellow and green cards that fans held up before the game and the resulting atmosphere and great result.
Worst moment supporting City?
The year's immediately after relegation in 1995 were fairly grim - a throughly miserable and freezing Boxing Day being beaten by Southend and Jon Newsome and Ashley Ward my favourites at the time being sold.
What do you hope to achieve by being a member of the SCG?
Helping to support the consultation process between fans and the Club and also helping to continue initiatives for our junior supporters through being a member of the SCG Young Supporter Working Group.

Occupation:
Club Secretary
Where do you sit at Carrow Road?
The Directors' Box
Best moment supporting City?
Anytime we win. Specifically - winning at Wembley in 1985 having endured the two previous defeats there - the 3 Championships, each different in their own way and the European adventure.
Worst moment supporting City?
Anytime we lose. Specifically I can remember losing to Bradford at home in the 5th Round of the FA Cup in 1976 with the prospect of palying Second Division Southampton at home in the Quarter-Final. I was convinced we were going to win the FA Cup that season.
What do you hope to achieve by being a member of the SCG?
It is vital that Norwich City remains open and accessible to our supporters and the SCG is one of many ways in which we do that. It is a lively forum and whilst we will never reach a consensus on footballing matters, the processes undertaken in many other areas have helped the Club overcome some important issues.

Occupation:
Customer Services Manager Norwich City Football Club
Where do you sit at Carrow Road?
Don't have a seat, tend to watch from various areas around the stadium.
Best moment supporting City?
Beating Wolves in the play-offs in 2002 and working at Carrow Road during this period. All the staff at Carrow Road worked long, long hours and in some cases through the night to meet demand. But the atmosphere and sense of achievement at having qualified meant that it didn't matter to anyone.
Worst moment supporting City?
Losing in the play-off final.
What do you hope to achieve by being a member of the SCG?
To work with supporters at the main SCG and in various sub-groups to help formulate our customer care policies and to look at ways of attracting new supporters and new income streams to Carrow Road.

Where do you sit at Carrow Road?
The Jarrold Stand
Best moment supporting City?
Beating Man United 2-0 at home when we were in the Premiership. Even though it was in 2005 I can still wind countless people up about it!
Worst moment supporting City?
There have been many, but I would have to say being dumped out of the Premiership having being walloped 6-0 by Fulham is by far the most disappointing. Losing the playoff final in 2002 comes a close second.
What do you hope to achieve by being a member of the SCG?
I feel that it is vitally important that there are good lines of communication between the Club's Board and senior managers, and that the views and opinions of all supporters are heard and taken on board.

The press box!
Best moment supporting City?
Milk Cup semi-final, 2nd leg v Ipswich in 1985. Will never forget holding my green and yellow bar scarf aloft in the last few minutes singing 'we're the famous Norwich City and we're going to wemberley?' and then thinking 'we actually ARE!'
Worst moment supporting City?
Relegation at Leeds in 1995. From the San Siro to Southend.
What do you hope to achieve by being a member of the SCG?
My job keeps me abreast of what reporters think - the SCG keeps me and the Club in touch with what supporters think.

Occupation:
Technical Buyer
Where do you sit at Carrow Road?
Thorpe Area, Main Stand - although my heart probably belongs in the Snakepit.
Best moment supporting City?
San Siro, Milan, 1993: to watch my own side in a fantastic stadium - unquestionably one of the best in the world - with 4,000 other Norwich fans, singing 'Mike Walker's Green and Yellow Army' for a hour solid is something that still sends a tingle down my spine when I think about it.
Worst moment supporting City?
My first relegation - Leicester at Carrow Road, 1982, 3-2 defeat, or losing my hair going through the stress of possibly not even having a Club at the end of Robert Chase's time.
Alternatively, missing the greatest fan moment in the Club's history - the 1958/9 FA Cup run - ten years before I was born.I'll get round to forgiving my parents someday ?
What do you hope to achieve by being a member of the SCG?
To help the Clubcontinue developing strong, workable policies that recognise that fans are here for the long term, and are the most important single aspect of any football club; certainly to make sure that the Directors and Executive team never forget how vital it is to treat fans properly and fairly.
Personally, to recognise what a privilege it is to be able to influence at a high level and help my fellow fans, and to be a part of bringing the next generation through against all the inherent problems of a stronger and stronger media obsession with the Premier League.

Best moment supporting City?
Steve Bruce late goal against Ipswich in the semi-final of the Milk Cup was a pretty good feeling. Winning the Milk Cup at Wembley wasn't bad either. Losing at Sunderland in midweek, but securing the championship was good too.
Worst moment supporting City?
There have been a few, but the 0-6 hammering at Fulham was hard to take.
What do you hope to achieve by being a member of the SCG?
To ensure the voice of the clubs disabled supporters is heard and to help shape the club strategy by continuing to listen and work with its growing number of fans.

What do you hope to achieve by being a member of the SCG?
Helping fans and their views to be an important part of the change agenda at the club.

Best moment supporting City?
2.58pm on any given Saturday! Not specific enough? OK, Tuesday 2nd March 2004. My daughter was the mascot for the WBA match. She and I had a fantastic evening, the highlight of which was going into the dressing-room prior to kick-off. The camaraderie on display was wonderful - that's what football is all about.
Worst moment supporting City?
Sunday 15th May 2005. I had over 20 City fans (aged from 2 to 62) in my living room watching the Fulham game on Sky. After two goals I said "we can still do this!" After four goals I said "it can't get any worse!"
I never want to feel that bad again?
Being relegated from Premiership after going so close to staying up.
What do you hope to achieve by being a member of the SCG?
I see the SCG as an opportunity to express fans views to the decision makers at Norwich City. The importance of being a part of that process is inestimable and I hope I can add to the debate and dialogue that already exists. |
