Indifferent [:|] Re: For Goodness Sake NCFC

Hilarious!Big Smile [:D]......I thought about digging up the Huckerby threads - where some folk (including me) wondered how long before they used the  'Say Bye to Hucks' theme at the "Greatest Whatever" event......

Who's going now?

Not me, I still believe the club should come up with something much better than this, very disappointed

Re: For Goodness Sake NCFC
In all honesty this is a complete and utter joke by the the club, I thought the initial post and the facebook based petition was to have a Huckerby's XI Team vs Man City or something like that, not a cheap way of selling tickets for what is bound to be a dislam turn out for this "fantastic event".

For once i wish they would do the right thing and thats GIVE THE FANS WHAT THEY WANT!

Darel Russell for Captain!

I'm still not going.

You're still not Goering?.....How about Rommel then?.....Rudolph Hess?.....Oops! Sorry!....I put the missus's reading specs on by mistake....Geeked [8-|]

I'm not going either, more pressing matters (a pile of ironing to plough through, or it's no beer chits for me).......DAMN! Looks like my effigy of the Darth Donkster will remain without follicles.....till an opportune moment arises.

Re: For Goodness Sake NCFC
It makes me really angry that the Club are doing this... and almost makes me suspicious that it was the whole reason we were never told Hucks' time was up before the end of the season, because they knew how poor ticket sales had been and needed a reason to bring more people in.

Re: For Goodness Sake NCFC

Sorry, but I have to confess to being a little confused: for the last week people have been moaning ad nauseum that they weren't given any opportunity to say a proper goodbye to Hucks, a "City Legend", and were supposedly desperate to make this right.  They are now being given the chance with a special tribute bit to him at this Legends thing, but are refusing to go, seemingly due to it being a cynical move by the club. 

An interesting but sad thing occurred to me about how cynical people have sadly become about NCFC (possibly correctly, I have no idea) - if that weren't the case, perhaps it might occur to people that a special tribute to Hucks was being included because they were listening to how 'upset' some of the fans were...but of course, that isn't possible...is it?

I suppose part of the question is - do you or don't you want to give him a decent send off?  After all, however cynical you think this might be, it could easily be the last time for a while that he turns up for an official do at Carrow Road.

It's because they're charging us £25 for it. And the only reason they didn't tell us Hucks was being shown the door before the end of the season was so they could do just that, I'm sure.
Do you really think a pop concert infront of 500 women and kids is a worthy send off for Hucks? Testimonial = yes. X-factor rejects - No

There's an easy way to make people less cynical about this - make it free for season ticket holders.  You could argue that it might cost the club to do that, but I doubt that many are going to pay for this anyway.
