Q - Who are you, lets be 'avin you?
A - I’m 54 and have lived in Norfolk all my life, other than three years reading history at Cambridge University. I’m married with two children and am a Chartered Financial Planner running my own business, which has run for 21 years and employs nearly 50 people. You can find me as Beauseant on the pink’un and RobinINCSC on Twitter.
Q - Why Norwich City?
A - I was first brought to Carrow Road by my uncle, a long time season ticket holder. I watched my first game, aged 11, from the old River End terrace and was immediately hooked. I was fortunate enough to play semi professional football, and then to manage, so for many years I had to support from a distance, but, happily, no longer.
Q - Typical Matchday Routine?
A - My wife and I sit in Row O, Block M of the Jarrold. I like to be in my seat at least half an hour before kick off (preferably eating a pie) as I enjoy watching the warm ups and watching the body language of players. Afterwards it’s always nice to compare notes with friends in the Nelson.
Q - Favourite City moment?
A - Standing behind the goal at Wembley at the Milk Cup Final waiting for Asa Hartford’s deflected shot to hit the net.
Q - Norwich City legend?
A - Kevin Reeves is my all time City favourite and I was gutted when he was sold to Manchester City. A great player who could make and create goals with equal style. I’m sure that he would have got many more England caps had injury not intervened.
Q - Describe INCSC in 5 words?
A - By fans for the fans
ROBIN SAINTY - CHAIRMAN
KATHY BLAKE - SECRETARY
Q - Who are you, lets be 'avin you?
A - I live in Reepham. I am a microbiologist and manage a small veterinary laboratory in Attleborough. I joined NCISA soon after it’s formation in 1995. In 2002 I took over from Keith Spanton as secretary and have held the position ever since.
I post on the Pink’un message board as myself, and you can find me on Twitter as ‘@Reephambird’. I also run the popular Canary Challenge competition.
Q - Why Norwich City?
A - I was brought up in a family who were Norwich City through and through, and I soon caught the bug at a very early age. I knew how to fill in a football coupon before I could do joined up writing. I have brought up my own children in the same way and they are both big City fans. I attended my first match in 1965 standing on the then open terraces of the River End. A season ticket holder since 1969 I have sat just about everywhere at Carrow Rd, but now sit in my spiritual home, the Snakepit (the only place to be!). I travel to as many away matches as I can.
Q - Typical Matchday Routine?
A - Matchday routine starts fairly early for me. Roast dinner at dad’s for midday. Then it’s off into Norwich to meet up with friends for a couple of pre-match drinks and catch up. We usually walk down to the ground about 2.30 in time to soak up some pre-match atmosphere. After the game it’s usually the Nelson for another beer and a match post mortem then home. This season of course ‘Match of the Day’ will be added to the Blake Match day Routine
Q - Favourite City moment?
A - Easy! Steve Bruce’s Milk Cup semi-final second leg winning goal against 1p5wich in 1985 which took us to Wembley. I own the Canary Square from which he scored it.
Q - Norwich City legend?
A - Well for years it was Mick Channon for his guile and personality, as much as his footballing skills, but I’m afraid he has been replaced by Sir Grant. I’m sure my grand children will be talking about the legend that is Grant Holt in years to come.

CLARE WILLIAMSON - TREASURER
Q - Who are you, lets be 'avin you?
A - Name: Clare Williamson (Treasurer and Membership Secretary).
Occupation: Risk & Governance Consultant at Aviva. I’ve worked there for 11 years.
Age: Not as old as Robin!! Last birthday (2010) I was 36 (Crystal Palace on Boxing Day, game postponed, this season Spurs at home, no chance of it being called off!!)
Live: Burston, near Diss
Other: Own a horse, a qualified British Show jumping Judge, Take That fan!
Twitter name: clarew2612. Also on Facebook.
Q - Why Norwich City?
A - I was born a Norwich fan, simple as that. Very few people become them, it’s something instilled at birth! Went to first game in the mid-eighties with my Dad and still go to games with him to this day. It’s all his fault, although he blames me for dragging him along!
Q - Typical Matchday Routine?
A - Matchday routine is – Ride my horse in the morning, followed by washing the car (It’s a good luck omen, it has to be done!!). Followed by soup and toast for lunch and then head off to the ground about 1.45pm. We park at Carrow Road. I always buy my programme from the same programme seller. We sit in the 59ers section in the City Stand (4 rows in front of Chris Lakey, Michael Bailey & co). After the game, spend about 30 minutes trying to get out of the car park, whilst listening to Canary Call, get home and feed the horse.
If not going to away game, I always make sure I have Radio Norfolk on at 2pm to listen to the commentary.
Q - Favourite City moment?
A - It’s too obvious to say beating them lot down the road 9-2 last season so:
One of my favourite moments was the last time we were promoted to the Premier League in 2004 and being in the crowd at Crewe. It was one of the best atmospheres I’ve ever experienced. Craig Fleming scored with a diving header; Iwan took a penalty twice because he missed the first time!! The Crewe fans were brilliant and we all went on the pitch afterwards, it was amazing!!
Q - Norwich City legend?
A - I actually can’t single one player out, there’s so many for different reasons. The most excited I’ve been about a signing was when Hucks signed permanently, Boxing Day (my birthday!). Will always have a soft spot for Paul McVeigh, as loved the way he played the game, this will come as no surprise to my fellow committee members!! There’s also Ian Crook and Malky.
Q - Describe INCSC in 5 words?
A - Fun (most of the time!), Important (for many reasons), Misunderstood, Sense of belonging and fund raisers.

JOHN WILKINSON
Q - Who are you, lets be 'avin you?
A - Norfolk born, Norwich home. Age? Each year in December it is the same
as Delia's. Retired Headteacher.
Q - Why Norwich City?
A - Norfolk born and season ticket holder since the seventies. For many
years I had to restrict watching Norwich City to when they played away
in London in the fifties and early sixties where my parents lived.
Q - Typical Matchday Routine?
A - Bus into City and straight into ground thinking about what Lambert's
match plan and team might be. Sit in the Lower Barclay.
Q - Favourite City moment?
A - Norwich V Cardiff December 13th December 2003. It was supposed to be
Darren Huckerby's last game before returning Manchester City. City won
4-1 with Huckerby tearing apart the Cardiff defence time and again. He
scored the first goal with a stunning individual goal with an angled
run leaving four defenders trailing before slotting in a low shot
inside the far post.
I went home that night knowing that after such a performance Huckerby
wanted to be a City player and believed he would be. It was
announcement on Boxing Day
Q - Norwich City legend?
A - If I have to pick one then it has to be Colin Suggett who could dribble
at walking pace around desperate defenders. With Suggett on form
Norwich won.

DAPHNE GRIFFITH
Q - Who are you, lets be 'avin you?
A - Daphne Griffith: looking forward to retirement, but my employer doesn't want to let me go. That's a bit worrying as I work at HMP Norwich! Known as either Daphne on the Pink Un, or Kanaribyrd everywhere else, including Twitter.
Q - Why Norwich City?
A - Moved here in the nineties when anything Norwich City seemed possible. Moved from London and the Yellow and Green was irresistible.
Q - Typical Matchday Routine?
A - Go to home games and as many away games as work and family allow. Most of my pre-match routine is involved in chasing a free parking space and reading the programme. I sit at the River End in the N&P Upper. I cannot understand why we have a reputation for being quiet - I am invariably hoarse for several days after a game. After the game I find my car and laugh all the way home (listening to Canary Call).
Q - Favourite City moment?
A - Beating Man U under Nigel Worthington.
Q - Norwich City legend?
A - Really hard to choose between Hucks and Dion Dublin. Earlier than that: Gossy. In today's team it has to be Wes Hoolahan.

GARY SMITH
Q - Who are you, lets be 'avin you?
A - Gary, aged 40 (yes I know I don't look it!), currently living in Central Norwich. Employed by Delice de France as their Area Sales Executive covering a territory of East Anglia. When I have the opportunity I occasionally post on the Pink Un' under the guise of Gazza.
Q - Why Norwich City?
A - I originally started following the Canaries in 1982 as an exile growing up in Leicestershire. This was after eventually coming to my senses and peer pressure from my Grandfather/father who originate from the Lowestoft area, thankyou to them for leading me to the "Yellow" brick road so to speak!
Q - Typical Matchday Routine?
A - Pre-match I usually frequent one of the "Fine Citys" many establishments, Roccos & Nelson are two of my regular haunts. During the game I can be found as a Season Ticket Holder in the Snakepit. Post match its usually The Nelson & wherever the night leads from there!
Q - Favourite City moment?
A - The European massacre of Bayern Munich, although I have to say the recent night at Portsmouth was right up there!

ROBERT O'NEILL
Q - Who are you, lets be 'avin you?
A - I am a 36 year old diabetic. I live in the Mile Cross area of Norwich. I work as a delivery driver for a drug distribution company making my deliveries over many parts of Norfolk. I can be found on Facebook and Twitter (millhouse247). I also trained as a referee, passing level 3 in 1996, and played for the junior canaries many times at under 16 level.
Q - Why Norwich City?
A - I had little choice but to love football with a number of family connections to the game. My dad was the first (if not the only) Irishman to play in goal for England (RAF England as the normal keeper was injured in a bomb blast). His brother played in goal for many teams, and as well as all this, my mum played for Norwich Ladies in the late 50s. Being born in Norwich ,there was only ever going to be one team for me (well two if you count that I follow Hearts in Scotland)
Q - Typical Matchday Routine?
A - I only get to go to home games now as I work on a Saturday morning. I wake up around 7.00 am and carry out all mysuperstitions (clean shaven / all calendars in my flat are up to date etc) I am only superstitious when it comes to football. I finish work around 12.00pm then it is home, get changed and drive down to Carrow Road. I park in Trowse, around 1.00 pm, then I make my way down to the ground where I often have a chat with to an old friend of mine and program seller near to the club shop. I head in to the ground around 1 hour before k/o, and take my seat in the Lower Barclay (D V 91) where I catch up with friends around me. I then write on the program who is playing (this is the last of my superstitions for the day)
Q - Favourite City moment?
A - Chris Sutton's F A Cup quarterfinal goal scored in extra time v Southampton - Standing (yes standing, the good old days) in the River End at a packed Carrow Road..
Q - Norwich City legend?
A - IAN CROOK - The one player who I feel we have never replaced. His understanding and vision of where everyone was around him was immense and he could send a 40 yard ball through an eye of a needle and put it on a sixpence at the feet of a team mate.

DIANE BLAZIER
Q - Who are you, lets be 'avin you?
A - I’m Diane and I live on the beautiful North Norfolk coast and work part-time as a volunteer for the RSPCA . When I’m not working or enjoying the scenic views around here, I’m usually found working in the garden, spoiling my cat, reading or playing on my pc.
Q - Why Norwich City?
A - I got addicted when at 12 yrs old when my Dad took me to my first game. Then when I left school and started work at Norwich Union my first monthly wage packet paid for my season ticket and I’ve loved everything Norwich City ever since
Q - Typical Matchday Routine?
A - On matchdays I leave around 12.45pm and meet friends in the Nelson for a pre match drink and footy chat. I sit in the City Stand near the away dug out, great view there and usually drive home straight after the game listening to canary call to hear other people’s opinion of the game.
Q - Favourite City moment?
A - There have been loads but guess Boxing Day 2003 must rate in the top ones. I got a phone call from someone at Carrow Road at around 10am who told me that Hucks was there surrounded by TV camera’s and was giving interviews which confirmed that he had signed for us. What a day when he was unveiled on the pitch by Delia, the fans went crazy including me.
Q - Norwich City legend?
A - There have been many, but my top 2 would be Flecky & Hucks

MANDIE THORPE
Q - Who are you, lets be 'avin you?
A - I am a civil servant and live in Dereham with my partner Nigel who is also a season ticket holder. I run a local Darts League and have also been Secretary for a local non-league football team. Follow me on Twitter @MandieMooMoo
Q - Why Norwich City?
A - have followed Norwich City since I was a youngster, whilst living around the UK and Europe with my parents, as my Dad was in the Army. I vividly remember the home-made yellow and green crepe paper hat that my Nan sent us for the 1985 Milk Cup Final!! I have been a season ticket holder since 1997.
Q - Typical Matchday Routine?
A - I sit with my Mum in the Lower River End.
Q - Favourite City moment?
A - My favourite Norwich City moment was back in our last outing in the Premier League and our game against Manchester United at Carrow Road. It will long live in the memory - a young and petulant Wayne Rooney arguing near the centre circle with the referee about a decision he was clearly unhappy with, we're on the attack and score!! Mr Rooney looked even less happy at that point!! Norwich City fans, however, were clearly in raptures as we won the game 2-0.
Q - Norwich City legend?
A - My Norwich City legend would be Malky Mackay - for me he encapsulated everything I loved about that promotion winning side - hard working, dedicated, passionate and a leader on and off the pitch!!
Q - Describe INCSC in 5 words?

EMMA WARD
Q - Who are you, lets be 'avin you?
A - I’m 35 years old, and moved to Norwich 15 years ago to study at the UEA. When I finished uni, I started working at Aviva, and I’m still there, currently working as a Programme Office Manager. My spare time is spent with family and friends, and during the Winter when I'm not at football, you can often find me on Horsey beach where I volunteer as a Seal Warden for Natural England.
Q - Why Norwich City?
A - My Dad's a Londoner, so I spent the first 30 years of my life being a Chelsea girl. About 4 or 5 years ago, during the time of Peter Grant, I started going to Norwich games, and somehow got hooked! I loved the atmosphere and felt privileged to have something so great on my doorstep. Now, I've been a season ticket holder for a couple of years and this season I hope to start attending my first away games.
Q - Typical Matchday Routine?
A - No rituals… I just wrap up very, very warm! Then go off and meet a couple of friends before taking my seat in the Jarrold Stand, listening to the Radio Norfolk commentary on the way. I particularly like listening to the Phone In on the way home…. Always raises a smile, no matter how the game went.
Q - Favourite City moment?
A - Being a relatively new supporter, without doubt, it was the Norwich v Ipswich derby game on 28th November 2010. Best football game, best atmosphere ever!
Q - Norwich City legend?

A - Hi I'm Danny Sands and live at Corpusty which is near Holt. I work at Corpusty Primary School, am aged 48 & am married with two step children
Q - Why Norwich City?
A - I've followed the canaries all my life, my grandfather Hubert Sands was a director of NCFC between the 1930's - 50's
Q - Typical Matchday Routine?
A - If the Academy have a match to play in the morning I head off to Colney to see them play as this is the future of our great club.Then I arrive at Carrow Road an hour & a half before kick off as I have been working as a golden goal seller for over twenty years. I sit in the lower Norwich & Peterborough stand directly behind the goal.
Q - Favourite City moment?
A - There have been many, but I'll say it was when I was a young lad in l972 because this was the
year that for the first time in NCFC history that we had ever reached the top division.
Q - Norwich City legend?
A - It has to be Martin Peters who was a class apart because after being one of the star players in the 1966 world cup he joined Norwich City between the 1972-1980 seasons.
He joined us at aged 32 & left us at the age of 38 but he played with such style & he always seemed to have this knack of being able to ghost in behind defenders to score crucial goals.
