Guest Blog

The Club have announced that season ticket holders and members will be able to claim a pro-rata rebate for the remainder of 2019-20 season as a result of the COVID-19 crisis. The window for that process opens today. Supporters have the option to donate their rebate to the Norwich City Community Sports Foundation at a time when […]

The latest blogger to grasp the guest blog baton is Jack Green, the voice of the excellent Singing From The Nest. He poses the question, who would win if Chris Hughton’s Class of 2013/14 played Daniel Farke’s Class of 2019/20? His conclusion is perhaps not what you’d expect… Chris Hughton. Two words that make most […]

Another member of the #NCFC Twitterati who picked up the guest blog baton was our Worthing Yellow, Mick Saunders, who describes beautifully the journey from Kent to Carrow Road via 80 Football League grounds. Take it away, Mick… I became aware of football as a “thing” during the 1970 World Cup in Mexico, helped in […]

MFW’s very own Alex Bain is back, this time with a whistle-stop history lesson on how our club came into being and then gives us a few of his favourite City players… Norwich City F.C. was formed, as an amateur club, at a meeting at the Criterion Café in Norwich on 17 June 1902 . […]

The flurry of MFW content decrying Project Restart has provoked plenty of discussion, mostly dissenting voices but the odd one in favour. One of those has been Liverpool fan Neal Widdows, who kindly offered to write us a piece explaining the argument for. Here goes… and please let’s play nice. Firstly, I’d like to thank […]

The latest blogger to grasp the Project Guest Blog baton is Phil Huish, who has some searching questions to ask of the Premier League before their own pet project can safely begin… For context, I’m a City season ticket holder who lives in exile. Every match I attend includes six hours in the car and […]

A familiar voice for readers and commenters on MFW … our own Alex Bain with another guest blog, taking us on a tour, home and abroad, through the eyes of a football fan. Now in my 70th year, I was reminiscing about the games I have watched, the troubles I’ve witnessed and other things I’ve […]

In the latest of our series of MFW guest blogs, David Wild has been handed the reins and tells us of his formative years at Carrow Road, and the heady days of away fans in the old Barclay… The memory of my first Norwich City game starts with a crossbar seat on my dad’s bicycle, […]

One of the first to throw his hand skywards when the shout went out for some MFW guest blogs was Nick Buck – part of the #NCFC Twitter community. It’s his first time so… I am new so please treat me gently! I’ll start with with what is currently, a vastly overused phrase – ‘These […]

The latest in our series of guest blogs comes from regular MFW commenter Alex Alexander. His journey, as the headline suggests, has been very much of the rollercoaster variety. He may need his tin hat… So, where do I begin? Well, let’s start when I first got a season ticket, back in 2008, which meant […]

It’s guest blog time again and a familar voice for those who frequent the #NCFC world of Twitter. I give you Mr Kris Gunns, who takes us through the challenges of supporting City from way beyond the city walls… First, an introduction. I am a City fan of over 34 years; my journey beginning when […]

Another to grasp the guest blog baton was Scott Royal who, after nailing his colours to the mast, tackles the thorny subject of football’s lockdown exit strategy. All yours mate… Welcome to my first and possibly, depending on the reaction, only article for MFW. Just so readers know where they stand before we begin, let […]

Another MFW regular commenter who responded to the offer of a guest blog was Jim Davies, and he’s delivered us a touching tale of family and his love for Norwich City FC. Take it away, Jim… Football has been a lifelong passion for me. Fortunately, I have an understanding wife, who is quite keen in […]

Another blogger to take up the offer of an MFW guest spot was Paul Usher, co-founder of new football fans site, www.headersandvolleys.co.uk. Here he offers his take on the impact of NCFC lockdown, and launches a phrase that will soon be as familiar as Webber-lution. Enjoy… Let’s face it, this seemingly never-ending hiatus from football […]

Another to answer the call for guest bloggers was a Twitter pal of mine, Mr Tim Gough, who has something to get off his chest. Take it away Tim… You cannot dispute that we’re living through unprecedented times. What was normal a few weeks ago, is but a dim and distant memory now.  It seems […]

The latest victim to take on the MFW guest blog challenge is Simon Mitton – a familiar voice for those in the #NCFC Twitter community, who describes perfectly what it is to be an “average fan”. Well worth a read… Let’s get one thing clear right off the bat. I’m not a ‘super-fan’. I’m not […]

Alex Bain is back, this time with a look back to the FA Youth Cup heroes of 2013… They were supposed to be our golden generation but of our FA Youth Cup winning team of 2013, only Carlton Morris remains. Unfortunately, following a serious injury picked up on loan at Shrewsbury, his career stalled and […]

One of MFW’s regular commenters, Steve Godbold, was kind enough to take up the challenge of penning a guest blog. Here he eloquently explains why he believes it would be unjust if City’s Premier League status is retained by the season being effectively cancelled… As the Premier League works out how to bring an end […]

It’s guest blog time again and, prompted by our recent run of MFW nostalgia (there’s precious little else to talk about), Dave Butcher – better known to most as DaveB 2 in the comments – takes us back to 1967 for a game that’s been recorded for posterity on the EA Archive. Take it away, […]

It’s guest blog time again and today it’s the MFW debut of Dave Major, who looks back to his formative Carrow Road years of the 1980s and draws some parallels with the Class of 2020. “I have been particularly impressed this season by the way in which our younger professionals have acquitted themselves on the […]
