A pretty good game with a few goals as well. (Although it did mean getting up at 6:30 on a Saturday and I am not a morning person!). Before the game I went to a Wetherspoons which is situated at the Riverside complex amongst some shops and restaurants, and about a ten minute walk to the ground. As the players departed the ground many of them stopped for photographs with fans and engaged in brief conversation. Could this be a shock win at Carrow Road? Last time I did Norwich there wasn’t much time for a proper mooch, so with this being a Friday night game I took the chance to stay in Norwich overnight. Prices will only rise as matchday looms closer so don’t delay! No problems. Norwich started on the front foot as you would expect for a side in the driving seat for promotion. As is always the case with this type of game they come down to our end having been defending for the best part of an hour we fail to clear our lines they put a speculative cross into the box and Ash Williams one of our best players knocks it past Devries for an own goal. The other benefit of arriving early as that you can park near the entrance which helps for a quicker getaway after the match. It meant an early start, needing to be in Wolverhampton for 9am. the view from the away end was good but it was difficult to see the action in the half to our left. It's an atmospheric ground in terms of colour and intimacy but otherwise, the home fans are invariably a gentle bunch here. The fans of both clubs mingled without any issues. I cut my homeward journey short by staying in a Bed and Breakfast Hotel near Sleaford in Lincolnshire which is about halfway home from Norwich. As a reasonably large stand, it is usually shared with some sections of Norwich’s support, with the standard allocation of around 2,500 tickets located towards The Barclay Stand taking up less around a third of the available space. I went up by supporters coach with a close friend. However, you can drag the map around or click on +/- to reveal more hotels in the City Centre or further afield.

It is never a quick journey to Norwich, as there is little motorway. 27,137 v Newcastle United Premier League, 2nd April 2016. The bus journey to the Park and Ride from the centre took about 15 mins. Carrow Road hasn’t changed since my last visit and is quite an attractive place to watch football. We decided to leave the car for a bit and walk into the town centre for a bite to eat, this is not a short walk! Stadium Tours. It stayed that way and after another fantastic save from Bart to deny Tettey the full time whistle went. The staff and stewards on hand were all very helpful and friendly. At the traffic lights turn right towards the city centre on the A1054. Carrow Road is a nice ground; I’m not here to be biased. At 2-0 the game was beyond Barnsley's reach and although the players didn't lack effort it just wasn't good enough on the day. A mad rush meant we made it, in time for the long journey. Being on my own, and driving, heading to the pub wasn’t a good idea. Great noise from the Town fans and fairly vocal support from the home side. The journey took about 4 1/2 hours each way and parked around a ten minute walk from the ground. So I got to see the Birmingham players and manager arrive which was a nice bonus. Before, I got the train from Nottingham. With time against us, It didn’t seem sensible to make for the designated pub the Compleat Angler so we just went into the ground. Actually, for a team with the worst record in the league since Xmas, we actually played ok in the first half and even took the lead! The game itself didn't go according to plan from the Barnsley point of view. Named after a former club president and opened in 1986, this single tiered stand is smaller than both ends and houses amongst other things the Directors Box and Press Area. At the next set of traffic lights, turn right into King Street. Wolves ran out comfortable 2-0 winners. The ground is in walking distance from the station and the city centre. This was made more challenging by my oversleeping. All four sides of the ground are of a similar size, with both ‘ends’ being two tiered, and the side stands two tiered, slightly different to a lot of grounds. We were staying for the weekend so it was a walk into the city centre post-match amongst home fans starting to fear the worst for their survival hopes. I just wandered aimlessly around for a few hours. Midway through the second half, Lewis Grabban scored the second and decisive goal, finishing a smart move emphatically to end any lingering hopes of taking something back to the Midlands with us. The game was pretty enjoyable, especially in the really decent January weather. Construction began in 1938 on the site of an old brickworks, but the small section of land left, once the car parks and stands had been … 2. It was around 11am when we arrived and with plenty of time on our hands we set off to look around the city and find somewhere for a bite to eat and a meal. Coffees cost £2.50, whilst Tea/Bovril/Hot Chocolate are £2 each. Open. A very nice compacted stadium the away end was fine with a good view. 6. Below is a seating plan of Norwich City's Carrow Road: Norwich’s ground is comprised of the following four sections: The Barclay Stand (North), The Jarrold Stand (East), The River End (South) and The Geoffrey Watling Stand (West). Anyway before the journey we checked online to see how much a train would be. Clearly they weren’t happy with a point as that had put a huge dent in their play-off hopes. What better way to spend my Valentine’s/Birthday weekend!? The Council open their large car park at County Hall. For more information phone the club on 0844 826 1902.

Leaving the car park took about 15 minutes, before I was on clear roads, so not bad at all. No issues walking away from the stadium and going for a pint in 'The Stadia Bar', £4.95 a pint here. It was fine until we got to Cambridge, but after that the motorway just stops. The view from the away section (in the South Stand) was terrific. The walk back to the car was uneventful, and having a spot close to the front of the car park meant I was quickly on the road home. The stand is very modern, and offers a decent view of the action with plenty of leg room. Had a bog-standard burger outside the ground which I thought was expensive at £4.50. There was plenty of banter flying between ourselves and the fans in the Barclay End. My first sight of the stadium came as the train was arriving into Norwich. After the match I made my way to the Riverside complex and had a Subway meal before making my way to the car park. It's a long drive from the East Midlands, but easy enough to get there. Norwich occasionally offer a 90 minute tour of Carrow road with photo opportunities at the dressing rooms, players’ tunnel, dugouts, director’s box, Press Room and Trophy cabinet. The home fans were disappointed on going out of the cup, but many of them said “that Premier League survival is more important” I don’t think there was any trouble from any sets of fans. There is also a shopping and leisure complex known as “The Riverside” a little further along which has a ever reliable Wetherspoons. A road sign depicting Norwich City Football Club is to the left. With 20mins to go Aarons headed City into the lead. Comment on the game itself, atmosphere, stewards, pies, facilities etc.. With only a few exceptions, I don't think much of away supporters concourses at football grounds. £35 is totally unfair for these seats. I thought the atmosphere crackled all game. Comment on getting away from the ground after the game: This was (apart from the way their goal was scored) the only sour note of the day. Summary of overall thoughts of the day out: Excellent. As you pull into Norwich station the floodlights and the back of the Jarrold Stand are easily visible on your left. The camera’s were taking pictures of us, on this splendid day. On one side of the ground is the South Stand that was opened in 2004. A young bloke happened to step over the fence to go see his mates before kick off. A ten minute walk from the railway station through a new area of restaurants and the like. As for food and drink, some of the offers were: Soft drink and pie – £4, Hot drink and pie – £4.50 and Beer/cider and pie – £5.50. I hope to come back again next season with The Royals if Norwich plays them in the cup. Out of the 26,000 spectators in attendance with 750 Away fans the Stewards did very well in controlling the situation. The first time being in 1981 when both teams were in the old Second Division. The view and legroom were fine even though two of us are over six foot tall. What you did before the game pub/chippy etc, and were the home fans friendly? The Club I found to be particularly friendly and relaxed. I went to the shopping mall, some high st. shops. Surprisingly (although I didn't have one) I was told that the pies weren't great. I met friends on holiday who were season ticket holders at Norwich, so decided to go along to this match. It was a very nice pub, away fan friendly, with a wide choice of drinks, and food available. I thought the view from the away section was really good and the other stands looked decent too. There was a good selection of stuff on offer though. On board a train, who were happy singing out loud, after enjoying a classic football match. As you would expect from a modern stand the facilities and view of the playing action are good. The away section seems small not sure how much the away allocation is but it did look like a sell out! But we were reduced to ten men which didn't help matters. We'd thumped Huddersfield 4-1 midweek, so were travelling to East Anglia in a decent mood. Birmingham basically lost 2-0, so not the result I would have wanted at all.
