Someone reminds me about last season interview at the Scrimmage, which I will go to there again tonight, about the woman and football (mainly is Norwich and of course I play 7-a-side too), yes I always took football as the first priority of my life, if you ask me today, I will have the same answer, Daphne know it, at least she know I won't sleep with other girl then that's ok for her; of course, you can't put your jobs ahead of football. I already miss two games on TV this season, the West Ham away and Leicester home, because I had to work on night shift, the time the game playing, I was answering the calls in the call center, which I have no way to watch it even on my mobile. I have to miss the game definitely because if not that job, I won't be here to type the message, because I use my annual leave to visit Norwich, that's my own choice.
The spending in the clubshop, that's my own choice again. I told everyone the reason I want to spend big in the clubshop, the main reason was when I read the clubshop catalogue in 1998/1999 seasom, the replica shirt page, top right hand corner said "Your spending in the shop will directly benefit to our team's playing squad.", I still remember the wording even right now, so for a normal fans point of view, if I shop more in the shop, the team and the club will benefit more, that is what I always want to do. Am I one of the clubshop big spender? I would admit that. Second reason is because in my country or city, there are no way they have anything can fit me anymore, except the 3XL or 4XL BIG SIX team shirts. Will I get one pieces of that? No way because they are not my club and I did not want to give benefit to them. But like this time I bought three adidas and Nike shorts with pocket in Sports Direct, which I told Daphne I can finally enjoy shopping in a sports shop, once a year in overseas. Well I can't say I help Newcastle United of shopping in Sports Direct...
I don't really know can I say the football club have done lots for me in the past because of my spending in the shop, but yes I would admit that, some of the treatment with the staffs, which some left as I know, what they done to me was absolutely unthinkable for mysefl at least. I did tell the experience in Chinese to the press in Hong Kong, about the how nice and friendly the club is, and yes you are right, Hong Kong will not become a big income source at this football club, unless we get the success liked the BIG SIX teams in three successive years. Would we do it? That's no way. I know our club won't be able to control by overseas owner. You love and support the club because you borned in here, it's your local team; I love the club, I was not borned in here, it is not my local team, the reason I love the club is because of the club badge Canaries, the yellow and green color.
Finally, today I go to the clubshop to meet some of the staffs, and I also going to cancel 4 Norwich t-shirts in my orders, because, I already ordered six XXXXXXL, yes that's six 6XL Official trainingwear, which I am not able to buy any in last few years since errea take over, plus many other merchandises.
By the way, I already got the answer from the club, thanks for everyone's effort here, much appreciated.
