Norwich away - general info

[Eddie Notgetinya]

I’m disappointed but not surprised that the EFL have made it difficult for anybody wanting to see City in action at Carrow Road next week.

I am a season ticket holder at Ashton Gate but I live in Norwich so it’ll be a welcome change to not have to travel for once.

If anybody has any questions around the game (where to go etc) drop them on here and I’ll post the answers.

Lets be ‘avin you!

Exactly how has the EFL made it difficult to see City in action at Norwich? Somebody has to play there midweek so why not us? Might as well argue AG is impossible to attend midweek given one can't even get a train back to London after the match these days, certainly not with the plethora of subs now permitted should one wish to watch until the final whistle. 

RMT have scuppered any chance to get to Carrow Road by rail, but other public transport is available, as are private vehicles.

Its also on Sky's Red Button.

[Never to the dark side]

Of course the EFL could do better

We play five home games and five away games midweek

QPR okay by train

Millwall okay by train

Reading okay by train

Luton are do-able by train 

West brom no return train

Birmingham return by train but a bit tight

Cardiff no problem

Just feed the computer with the info no game of more than a 120 miles for midweek games

Returning fans from Ashton Gate:

no north bound or london bound trains,only trains to cardiff or swansea

At least it would be a maximum of a two hour drive as opposed to norwich at five hours

Now do that for 92 teams ensuring too many games aren’t in the same city on the same day etc.

No offence but that view is looking solely at people going by train

I'd assume that the vast majority going to an away game don't go by train - but then the assumption is that everyone is travelling from Bristol, again that simply isn't the situation

It's been discussed many many times before that lots of teams actually request the awkward journeys in midweek as it saves on an additional day travelling

I'd also expect that the majority would prefer nearer games on a weekend, and it would more than likely see more people attend on a weekend compared to a night fixture

I've got to admire your BS3/Parson Street centric view of the world NTTDS , but with the last midweek train to London being 22:00 these past months and to Brum at 22:10, for the reverse fixtures listed you'd be pushing it to make any of those trains after final whistle, particularly if the OB held fans back for the usual 5-10 minutes. 

Personally, (if watching the end of the match) from getting out of my Dolman vantage I'd have around 12 mins to board the train at TM. Junior Bent couldn't make that, hence I drive.

Ditto your conservative driving estimates. Millwall, for example. If driving through London it takes as long for me to drive Hotwells to the end of the M4 as from Brentford to home in SE3. Same applies if I go around the M25.

[Never to the dark side]

Guys its all about balance

If you look at the teams I have quoted,and I forgot Watford.

They are do-able in a little over two hours or less.

For me it’s as simple as if you have what would be considered a ‘normal’ job (Mon-Fri, 9-5) then you likely won’t consider travelling all that way on a Weds night. Norwich on the other hand visit us on a Saturday. You can’t get every fixture how you’d like but It’s certainly one of the more attractive fixtures as it’s a nice place to visit. Unfortunately it’s a weeknight (again) but I’d estimate circa 1000 fans won’t be able to go. A large following would have been nice seeing as Both teams are right up there and it would have been nice to see. Never mind.

Never visited Carrow Road before and whilst I have next week off, I'm giving it some consideration. What is Car Parking like?

[ralphindevon]

When last season ended I targeted Norwich away as my visit to a new ground game as there are flights from Exeter.

Really fed up its midweek. I’m not sure there are any new grounds for me to do there and back in a day from south Devon. I’ll do South Wales, London and around Birmingham in a day but I’ve done all them.

All the further one’s I’ll only do with a stopover which because of cost and time isn’t too often. Might have to move to the midlands as we’re doing so well.

Midweek scheduling of some far away games is a deliberate ploy. 
 

https://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/efl-chief-admits-long-distance-576621

For both parties here, they know away support will be lesser than say each of our games away to Watford (vaguely in the middle geographically).
 

So a midweek Watford fixture would not be desirable for either club but a midweek Bristol/Norwich would be. 
 

There must be some logic applied which says the decrease in away fans who would travel Norwich<>Bristol in midweek is not offset by how many more would do it on a weekend.

Pretty easy. I’d suggest paying cash and using the match day car parks at either County Hall or Clarence Road. Avoid the retail complex (you will get a parking ticket) and the multi storey at Riverside by the train station as the queue for the parking meter after a match is ridiculous.

The whole concept of it taking longer to get from the edge of London to South East London, than it does to get from the edge of London to Bristol, was lost on me until I moved down here. It's completely ridiculous and (along with suicidal Uber drivers) was one of the reasons I got rid of my car 4 years ago. The loss of the 22.36 from Bristol to London has been even more disappointing. I wrote to GWR who said write to NetworkRail. I wrote to NetworkRail (twice) and got absolutely no response. It makes midweek games a real pain. Bizarrely the service does run on Saturday nights.

Indeed. Bloody frustrating to hit the elevated section and realise I'm half way home (by time.) Past couple of years to head west I have first to head east, sounds stupid but its quicker thanks to successive London mayors, even though its 50 odd miles longer each way. I used to leave Hotwells on a Saturday and be home by 8 (through town.) Same route today I'd be lucky to make 9 thanks to cycle lanes and revised traffic schemes. Picking other fans up en route as I used to from The Embankment is a non-starter. That's car sharing inefficiency for you.

As for Saturday nights!  There was one game last year when we went for a beer and ruby after the game as I was taking the train home. Headed to TM for 9:30pm. Quickest public transport home got me in my bed 4:10 am on Sunday morning. Its not even as though trains are reliable.

I’ve noticed the 2200 from Bristol comes up from the West Country so all GWR need to do is add a stop order at Parson Street. Would be doable just 

[Never to the dark side]

The train from the west country would be through Parsoin Street approx 21:45, a bit tight me thinks considering that the game finish's about the same time

Don't even think of cross country

Before I binned off my car I used to alternate that M25 loop, which is ridiculous as I started by going half an hour EAST on the A2, adding that 50 miles you mention to my journey (albeit with more predictability), OR a painstakingly curated route through little known backroads of Camberwell on one side of the river, and Chelsea on the other, to avoid main drags. All unfortunately were still susceptible to lunatic Uber drivers in South London or road works and tailbacks on the M4, so in the end I packed the whole lot in, one of the best moves I ever made. Trains have their flaws but I generally get places faster and less stressed.

EDIT - I've always wondered if that was you I exchanged words with through a window, stuck in the 90 minute jam before Hammersmith flyover on the West Cromwell Road, before our promotion party at Ashton Gate at the end of the 2014/15 season? That was as bad as it gets, sat in a completely static three lane jam as far as the eye could see, with an ETA surpassing 3pm.

Not I, we arrived in good time for that one doubtless due to an overly early start and active satnav. The issue is there are no 'back doubles' any more what with LTNs and cycle lanes. One just has to sit and suffer, hence I go via M25 & Bracknell.

No. RMT announced dates after Norwich match tickets went on sale, before the Burnley tickets went on sale , but not before many of us had purchased rail tickets for both fixtures. RMT targeted a Saturday knowing the disruption and publicity it would create amongst the football community.

Yes; head for County Hall which has loads of match day parking and it's then a short walk up the hill and turn right for the approach to the ground.

Thought it worth mentioning that there is NO designated away team pub in Norwich. This is due to one too many issues of damage being caused to the Compleat Angler that no longer accept away fans. Furthermore alcohol is NOT served in the stadium to away fans.

Sometimes the Waterfront pub or Stadia (both close to carrow road) take away fans but this is very hit and miss. 

Best bet - pretend to be home fans.

Also be aware the stewarding is now provided by SIA and has come under heavy criticism of late for heavy handedness of away support. 
 

@Jerseybean maybe worth mentioning again in the match day thread?

[soultrader]

I used to live in Norwich.  It is a Fine City, I know this because they have a big sign on the city limit saying so.  Plus the locals will mention it.

If you ask anyone in Norwich about pubs.  And quite often, even if you don't ask.  They will tell you that :

"Norwich has a Church for every week of the year and a pub for every day of the year!"

This is usually followed up by an adendum of which pubs/churches have closed recently   Or other remarks which through the validity of this claim into doubt.

 

Anyway, there is no shortage of pubs.

Norwich is a lovely City and Norfolk is a great county to live in.For those who bang on about Bristol and it’s attractiveness to players Norwich is just as good and the football club has a top stadium and training facilities. I am hoping that now with the HPC we can rival them and have some of the success that they’ve enjoyed down the years.

3rd kit v Burnley.

Doesn’t matter. Away games are a perfect opportunity to to advertise (or show off) the clubs second or third kit. Every other Championship club do it even if their home kit doesn’t clash with ours.

I was going to suggest exactly the same thing.

I have never actually seen the third kit in the flesh, as it were, but from the pictures on here and on the OS, it looks like quite a similar shade as Burnley’s kit.

No chance we will wear the 3rd kit at Burnley - would be too much of a clash.
