I hope Norwich go down. I'm as keen as mustard to go to Carrow Rd..
It's as broad as it is long. |

Norwich isn't even that easy to get to on the train, about 2.5 hours from London with either 1 or 2 changes. Pretty cheap though atleast.

Norwich is 2 hours by train from Liverpool St, direct.
You can drive there in no less than 3 hours from here (Oxford), proabably more like 4 as I used to always do it at night when the roads were clear.
It's fine until you get to Cambridge and complacency slips in, "oh we must be nearly there now", when in reality there's another hour and a half of single carriageway to go, with completely flat views.
Great ground is Carrow road though, and an excellent away day if it's even only slightly sunny.

Its a classic trip.....'must be near now'.....and repeat. |

As has been established Norwich is fucking miles away in East Angular, it's why we're in the West Country. Without EA, we'd probably be in the east. I recall going there first game of the season around 96/97, holiday weekend...fucking nightmare.

I was looking at this yesterday. There could (theoretically) be 10 away games with striking distance of me next season.

No motorways in Norfolk either..
That said, there are alot of decent dual carriageways. A11 is a good road as is the A14.

It's 3.5 hours on the train from Swindon, if you are a little lucky getting a tube to Liverpool St at the right time. And the ground is right behind the station and by a load of pubs which is good.

Ahh you're right. I checked 2 or 3 different weekends, but they must have all been weekends with engineering work on the tracks etc |

I quite fancy Charlton away next year. My mate is renting a place in Woolwich.
Night out in London after the game.

Norwich are averaging 24,000 despite being shit. I'm sure if they get relegated with Southampton and Charlton all 3 will sell out their allocation at the County Ground (if we stay up)
