Hi all,

Been a lurker/small poster on the pink'un for a good 5/6 years. Also known as the guy who leaked the kit a few years ago, looking forward to seeing this place develop, hoping to see it gain a bigger following and more attention as soon as possible!

Browno :)

Don't even think about hacking into my website  :lol:

I remember that incident well, a bit of a faux-pas from the club if I remember.

Yes, which is why it was a faux-pas by the club - it was just left on their server unprotected? 
Not even that. 

Went to Norwickit.com. Gave me a Wordpress plugin 'Site will be back' page.

Stuck /kit after norwichkit.com

Gave me a templated page with one image on saying Pass It On.

Right Clicked, Inspect Element, Resources Tab, Frames, Images, and there were all the images laying there...

Saved them, stuck them on Twitter, WoTB and Pinkun. 

4 am, Mum walks in my room, "Norwich City on the phone for you". Spoke to Will Hoy, accused me of hacking their site and stuff, asked me to take the pictures down. I removed all my ones on Twitter, he said he'd deal with the Pinkun ones, I then had to find the owner of WoTB, spoke to him on the phone at 7am who deleted my posts. 

Next day I was at home, about lunch time, the police were at the door, full interview, showed them how I did it, they laughed. Someone from the BBC contacted me, I offered to apologise on air, I did. Then for the next few days I had the press calling me all day non stop, just didn't give anymore statements. Then 2 days later, the Police called, and asked me to go to Carrow Rd for a meeting, so I went, agreed I'd done wrong, they apologised for how they handled it, offered me a new kit and a spot in the 'Pass it on' video (none of this ever happened),and that was it!

Think you should have got a four year football ban and put in the stocks personally  :lol:

That incident probably created more publicity for the kit launch than the marketing team ever could. Unless it was the year of the Italian vespa video (what a great video that was).
