Norwich City column: Canaries at lowest ebb on and off the pitch since relegation to League One in 2009

There’s a storm brewing at Carrow Road. Years of gross mismanagement at the top of Norwich City have led us to a point where it now feels like we are on the brink of mutiny.

Some might argue that this a dramatic overreaction to a first East Anglian derby defeat in 16 years, but it runs so much deeper than that.

How have we arrived at this point? Well, that’s a long story for another day. But the bottom line is that a prolonged series of failures mean we currently find ourselves at our lowest ebb since relegation to League One in 2009.

And on current form, it’s hard to escape the feeling we are sleepwalking towards a similar outcome this season.

As if our on-field problems aren’t weighing heavy enough, there is also a growing disconnect between the club and its supporters – a disconnect that is about to rear its ugly head, thanks to yet another PR disaster-class.

Of course, I’m talking about the plans to move thousands of season ticket holders from their seats in order to introduce more corporate seating, without any prior warning or form of consultation.

Perhaps this is a utopian view, but I’m a firm believer that a football club should serve its fans – especially at a club like Norwich, where our fans have shown unbelievable loyalty over the years.

That’s not just by selling out Carrow Road week in, week out (despite having the most expensive season tickets in the league), but by supporting the club when called upon, such as funding the building of The Nest.

In truth, it feels like we are being taken for granted by a commercial team who seem intent on prioritising money over morals. This ethos has already led to our lowest attendance in 14 years, with just 24,640 attending the recent defeat by West Brom – a clear warning sign to those in charge not to treat us like fools.

And with that in mind, I urge the club to rethink its plans.
