Not cheap either

Impressive.  I'd like to see the self appointed "best fans in the land" from Newcastle get relegated to our level and see their sales figures.  Fair play to Norwich fans.

How much are they?

between 450-579

Cripes!

Well fair play to them then.

We can only dream!

Cheapest renewal was £350, plus they were offering a 20% rebate if they got relegated which would make that £280. More expensive than us definitely, but maybe not as astronomical as you think at first glance.

Still a shit load of season tickets though and a shit load of guaranteed income for them.

Norwich fans seem to think that they will piss the League next season.

Not the ones I know. Despite my assurances that this league is utter tripe.

Seen a few on the league one forums that are expecting them  to go down again, although personally i think that's highly unlikely.

They will be up there..looking forward to go there ext season.

Did even Man City or Leeds sell that many season tickets in the third tier?

Cant last though. Will go tits up.

I think that the amount of season tickets sold will certainly help the budget for Gunn lets hope we can achieve the same as last year to at least give us a chance in the transfer market.Its going to be difficult,but hears hoping.Brought mine at end of season.

Losing their 'keeper won't help much, Marshall to Cardiff.

Chairman and chief executive both resign!!  Local paper reporting that the chief exec. was on £180,000 per year - that's a damn sight more than the prime minister!  Methinks Norwich are in deep shit financially.

They are. There was talk of an investor last season, but they pulled out at the last minute.

Don't worry, Delia can write another cook book to get some money in.

I think norwich will win the league next year. Can't wait until that cunt Cureton comes back here!!! Not that he gets a game these days but....

I'd love it if she came on the pitch at half time pissed up against us...

A damn sight better than pulling out of Delia at the last minute !

East Anglia and Naaarch is a one-off market as has been mentioned elsewhere, but they still deserve credit for shifting that many and so soon.

If you live in Norwich and support Norwich chances are you have a season ticket because nobody ever leaves the county. Many residents have never in their life left the four square miles which they inhabit.

How were Man City's season ticket sales when they plummeted a few years ago? Pretty good?

I don't. Bryan Gunn's clueless and they're gonna lose their best players:- Hoolahan, Clinghan, Russell.

They'll finish mid-table at best.

Agree 100%. They could be down for a while.

I think Charlton have the best chance of bouncing back up.

If southampton do not get and experienced players i can see them really struggling.

I think what we are seeing is essentially a fall out of the financial free for all of the late 90s, early 2000s.  The winners of this period are now what we have come to know as the "big four" - and isn't football more boring for this.  The losers are the clubs that tried to buy in to it and failed - hence us seeing Norwich, Southampton, Charlton, and of course Leeds down with us.

before anyone says that relegation from the premier league will inevitably lead to financial problems, see WBA.  OK, maybe a yoyo club, but properly run and consistently stable. 

Being a Yoyo club at least brings its share of success and failure. Imagine the elation Baggies fans must have felt a few seasons back when they were the first club to survive relegation despite being bottom at Christmas. And then again winning promotion back to the Premiership.

I'd rather be a yo yo club than a mid table club with nothing to play for every year.

I guess so.

Technically aren't Man U in something like 3/4 billion of debt, and Liverpool something like 400 million in debt.

I guess the point is with their income and assets they can at least maintain their debt levels and service their interest charges.
