WE MEET AGAIN… BARNSLEY

31st December 2020 By Allan Kemp 2 Comments

Next up for City, a team that is always a welcome sight on the fixture list. Some teams, Fulham and Manchester City spring to mind, we just can’t buy a result for love or money. Some, such as Saturday’s opponents Barnsley, we can do no wrong. Irrelevant of form, whatever the league, a game against […]

WE MEET AGAIN… QUEEN’S PARK RANGERS

28th December 2020 By Allan Kemp 4 Comments

With 125 matches to date, not including meetings in the old Southern League, QPR is (I believe) our most played opponent. City has faced the blue and white hoops more than any other and, after a break for one season, this Tuesday we do battle yet again. QPR turned professional entering the Southern League at […]

WE MEET AGAIN… WATFORD

24th December 2020 By Allan Kemp 1 Comment

With November’s manager of the month award nestling on the corner of his (old) desk, it seemed fair to assume Vladimir Ivić would be in the opposing dugout on Boxing Day. But no… this is Watford. So, it’s with Xisco Munoz in charge that City face the Hornets, hoping the Spaniard is unfamiliar with the […]

WE MEET AGAIN… CARDIFF CITY

18th December 2020 By Allan Kemp Leave a Comment

Sadly, there will be no away fans at Carrow Road for this Saturday’s game but with a lunchtime kick-off and a dismal record of just three wins in 28 trips, maybe, in this case, it’s one Cardiff fans would be better off watching from the comforts of their living room? We’ll see. Cardiff were elected […]

WE MEET AGAIN… READING

15th December 2020 By Allan Kemp Leave a Comment

Wednesday night and the Championship’s relentless march continues to a town where I lived for a decade, Reading. A team recently managed by Norwich City Hall of Famer, and arguable Norwich’s greatest-ever left-back, Mark Bowen.  Our first meeting with Reading came in the 1908/09 FA Cup. The two were drawn in the first round and […]

WE MEET AGAIN… BLACKBURN ROVERS

11th December 2020 By Allan Kemp 3 Comments

It’s hard to believe now but Norwich’s next opponents can boast of a Premier League title. 1994/95 was a historic season for Blackburn Rovers, while for Norwich it signalled the end of ten consecutive years in the top division. Rovers were themselves relegated, among growing fan/ownership tensions, in 2012, and have never since come close […]

WE MEET AGAIN… NOTTINGHAM FOREST

9th December 2020 By Allan Kemp 1 Comment

It’s not often City face a former European Champion, even less so one that has won it twice, but this Wednesday Norwich welcomes a club that has two of those iconic cups in the trophy cabinet. Yet another ‘sleeping giant’ its Nottingham Forest. Forest won those European Cups with back-to-back victories in 1979 and 1980. […]

WE MEET AGAIN… SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY

4th December 2020 By Allan Kemp 3 Comments

Next up for City is Sheffield Wednesday, one of the Championship’s few ‘sleeping giants’. They have not been in the top-flight in 20 years now but still, they are an attractive opponent on the fixture list with an illustrious history, sizable fan-base and a grand old stadium, in Hillsborough. That history that I referred to […]

WE MEET AGAIN… LUTON TOWN

1st December 2020 By Allan Kemp 4 Comments

We have played them in the top division and again when they have been in the Football Conference. Tomorrow night we look forward to a trip to one of the more old fashioned grounds in English football. It’s a short(ish) trip to Kenilworth Road and a re-acquaintance with one of our friends from the old […]

WE MEET AGAIN… COVENTRY CITY

27th November 2020 By Allan Kemp Leave a Comment

Next up for Norwich, a team that plays in sky blue but fortunately it’s not Manchester City. FA Cup winners in recent memory, once top-flight regulars and Premier League founder members, Coventry City have fallen on hard times recently. The last eight seasons have been spent homeless and bouncing around the lower leagues – yet […]

WE MEET AGAIN… STOKE CITY

24th November 2020 By Allan Kemp 2 Comments

A visit to one of the Football Leagues founder members is always extra special for those fans who appreciate the rich heritage of English football. To others, no other place represents the clichéd ‘cold, wet, and windy away trip’, the very definition of a horrible away-day than a visit to the Britannia Stadium, Stoke-On-Trent. Of […]

WE MEET AGAIN… MIDDLESBROUGH

20th November 2020 By Allan Kemp 2 Comments

Tomorrow’s opponents need no introduction. We played them in one of the greatest games in our club’s long history. Think Middlesbrough and your mind will be cast back to a glorious day in the Wembley sunshine. It was a day when Norwich played with confidence and style in front of a yellow wall numbering 40,000. […]

WE MEET AGAIN… SWANSEA CITY

6th November 2020 By Allan Kemp Leave a Comment

Next up, Swansea make the longest away trip of the season, all 310 miles to test the dedication of even the most ardent fan (not that that will be a factor this season). Swansea’s first involvement in English football came in 1912/13 season when they finished third in the Southern League Second Division. They were […]

WE MEET AGAIN… MILLWALL

3rd November 2020 By Allan Kemp 1 Comment

Be it the New or the Old Den, or at Carrow Road, like tonight, games against Millwall hold plenty of happy memories for the boys in yellow and green. The most recent one coming on our last visit to Millwall during 2018/19 when captain Zimmermann’s bullet header led the Canaries to a valuable 3-1 away […]

WE MEET AGAIN… Bristol City

30th October 2020 By Allan Kemp 4 Comments

It is one of England’s largest cities and home to two professional football clubs but neither Bristol City nor their city neighbours, Rovers have played in the Premier League. The closest Norwich’s next opponents, Bristol City, have come was a play-off final defeat in 2008. Capable of beating, but equally losing, to anybody they are […]

WE MEET AGAIN… Brentford FC

27th October 2020 By Allan Kemp 1 Comment

Tonight we enjoy a trip to one of our oldest rivals, Brentford FC. One of London’s less fashionable clubs, The Bees are on the up with a new stadium off the pitch and an exciting young team on it. They have been in the promotion mix for the last few seasons and all under a […]

WE MEET AGAIN… Wycombe Wanderers

23rd October 2020 By Allan Kemp 3 Comments

Next up are the League One playoff winners, Wycombe Wanderers. You have to feel a bit sorry for Wycombe. The final at Wembley would have, should have, been the biggest game in the club’s history. Especially as the 2-1 victory came at the expense of near neighbours Oxford United. The fact no fans were there […]

WE MEET AGAIN… Birmingham City

20th October 2020 By Allan Kemp 4 Comments

Next to visit Carrow Road is the second city under-achievers Birmingham City and a return to a Championship favourite – The midweek fixture. When thinking back to past games between the two it is hard to look beyond the Play-off final of 2002 but as we shall see there have been plenty of important clashes […]

16th October 2020 By Allan Kemp 4 Comments

Big games, historic matches, significant milestones, and player connections. I’ll delve into moments in time where our respective clubs have meet, looking at trends, quirks, and key talking points, all of which have helped contribute towards Norwich’s rich and colourful history. One to appeal to the nostalgic side in us, so enjoy the memories… Next […]

WE MEET AGAIN: Lights out again against The Rams? Or a Jackson hat-trick moment?

2nd October 2020 By Allan Kemp 8 Comments

The Premier League dream is over. City find themselves back in familiar territory of The Championship and a new fixture list full of old friends and foes. Big games, historic matches, significant milestones, and player connections. I’ll delve into moments in time where our respective clubs have meet, looking at trends, quirks, and key talking […]

So are they just giving away the club to the Attanasios? 200k for 20% of introduced shares? #ncfc

Norwich U21s V Leeds U21s
📍Lotus Training Centre

This is the U21s biggest game of the season today. Win and there two points off top spot, lose and they will be clinging onto a play-off spot. Huge opportunity.
