Between heaven and hell Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 Did anyone else notice yesterday what a huge amount of old age supporters Norwich City have. I have been to most grounds across the country over the years but yesterday I was amazed by just how old their fan base was. No wonder you never associate Norwich with crowd disorder, unless of course their pension doesn't get paid in on time Also worth mentioning I thought the flag display before kick off by the younger ones was quite impressive.

So you’re saying all Norwich supporters are old age?........ Try coming to the Senior Reds luncheon and see if you draw the conclusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I heard (in an interview with Geoff Twentyman) one of our club officials say that the average age of the BCFC fanbase was 47. Pretty frightening really as it means we really can't be getting many youngsters through the turnstiles. Watching football up and down the country, it does seem to be becoming a middle aged person's activity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Between heaven and hell Posted February 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 At a guess I would say a lot between the 60 - 80 age group, which is great to see it just surprised me how many there were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your point was that you should go to the senior reds lunch. You're not going to go to something like that and be able to draw a conclusion about the average age of supporters are you? You might as well say "go to the family enclosure to find about the average age". When trolling goes wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wasn't a flag display before kick-off, that was a public announcement in semaphore as most of the ground's occupants were deaf! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My (obviously too subtle) point was that all clubs have a percentage of ‘older’ supporters so why was it necessary to point out that fact at Carrow Rd?

EstoniaTallinnRed Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 The population of Norwich as a whole, is younger than the national average. However, population of Norwich is older than the Norfolk average. From the Office of National Statistics. If it makes any sense! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
