Around this time last week, we posted a guest blog from Andy Delf, and a roaring success it was too. Delfie, the holder of a small number of NCFC shares, put forward the case in favour of the waiver and, in doing so, triggered quite the debate. So, to continue said debate, here’s his follow-up […]

With the season now just a matter of two-and-a-bit weeks away, it’s time to bring down the curtain on MFW’s summer series of ‘sporting moments’. And it falls on one of our regulars, Mr. Bernard Owen, to wrap up the series with one of the few major sports we haven’t touched on. I’ll let Bernie […]
GUEST BLOG: Quit your moaning! You’ve never had it so good
Today the MFW floor belongs to ‘Big Vince’. I’ll let him explain. *** As I finished the last sip of my pre-bed brandy and sat in my resplendent wingback chairs I’d bought from the owner of a tavern on a beautiful Swiss mountain, my eyes read the words again before I smirked. My thousands of […]
GUEST BLOG: Open-Mindedness, Echo-Chambers, Repetition, and MFW
It’s guest blog time again, and back for another visit it ‘Trev Demo’, who responds to the article I wrote on Sunday in which I attempted to explain why our plan – not always successful – is for MFW to offer a range and balance of views. All yours, Trev. —- I completely understood why […]
SPORTING MOMENTS: Anyone remember The Stars at The Firs?
In response to our Martin’s lovely piece on Saturday afternoon wrestling, one of our regulars (Herr Cutz I believe) suggested that a nice addition to this series on non-City stuff would be a piece on Speedway. And so, as if by magic… As ever, the good folk of MFW were there to answer the call, […]
GUEST BLOG: Reasons to Be Cheerful, Pt. 5

GUEST BLOG: A good state of limbo?
After being informed that MFW was becoming little more than a sea of #NCFC angst, I turned to Twitter to find some voices of a more positive hue. Luckily for some, my cry for help was heeded, and in the next few days, there will be some articles to offer a more optimistic view of […]
The Pain. The Norwich City Family
It’s been a bad season; we all know that. Where we had so much hope, realistic or not, there is now a mixture of confusion, concern, and disappointment. A hero is preparing to exit the stage and there are very few waiting in the wings to step into those boots. In fact, there seem to […]
GUEST BLOG: The winning is only part of being a City supporter
The first hand to shoot up when we tweeted out the offer of an end-of-season MFW guest blog, was Stuart Wilson – a City season ticket holder of over 25 years and someone who has made a 200-mile round trip to Carrow Road since 1997. Read on for Stuart’s take on the call for change […]
