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)
Norwich have already sold 18,000 season tickets for next season, despite them not knowing what division they will be in. One nice touch is that they're going to give a rebate of 10-15% if they do get relegated, would have been good if Swindon had done something similar. |

Norwich support is fantastic, they average over 24,000 for a side going down. Same sort of catchment area as Swindon. Great supporters. |

Charlton, Southampton, Brentford, Wycombe and Exeter next season possibly. Looks pretty decent.

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

True is it fantastic support,but lets face it they don't have major London clubs an hours train journey away like we do.And its in the middle of no where,there is sod all else to do except rear turkeys and keep an eye out for Stephen Fry.And you get Delia Smith pies,its a no brainer,course your going to go to the games  I went to Carrow Road the season we lost 5-0,only thing we won was the half time fan shoot out.Was sat near the depressive fat bloke and Rick Wakeman alike on the way there and back,it was hellish,especially the return journey. |

The difference with norwich is that a large proportion of it's population has family connections to the area, they didn't all move there from london in the 70s. And you can't get anywhere easily if you did support another team.

Agree to a point ax....but i used to feel that way about Reading,a new stadium,treat the supporters well and abit of ambition at a club goes along way. |

Seen Town at Norwich twice. Once on a Tuesday night in a Cup replay - we won 2-0 - Hammond's only decent game for Town. Alos went there when we lost 3-1 in the Cup and had two players sent off - Gittens and Lorenzo?. its a long way but there are some very good pubs in Wymondham. If you go by train its rigth next to the station.

Nicky Hammond? You missed the 1-0 home win against Barnsley in 92/93 (Maskel pen from a foul on Summerbee), Hammond was awesome that day. |

I was there. I just didn't rate Hammond. He was useless at crosses and dodn't command his area. Whilst he was a good shot stopper he had this habit of putting the ball back into play instead of turning it around the post. This was good for strikers as they were facing the right way.
Its a shame as he was a decent geezer.
