And Norwich fans are among the most placid and tolerant in the whole country

To be fair, this is probably why so many moan - all part of the Norfolk temperament, intut? But the fans didn't truly turn on Worthington until incredibly late in the day, and the numbers still going despite being served up such constant rubbish are astounding.

12 seasons ago, I watched a club which had won away to Bayern Munich only four years earlier lose 3-1 at Barnet. It was an absolute shambles. Yet was there even that much fury from those there? Not really. One man yelled "sort it out, Walker"; a couple of old fogies muttered to themselves as we exited that "it can only get better". Hardly any other club of our size or standing has fans as patient and tolerant as ours; and because we're like this, so it follows that we don't turn CR into a hostile cauldron a la Molineux or Turf Moor. That's just us, like it or lump it.
