WE MEET AGAIN

Norwich and Burnley have often found themselves on contrasting paths although over the last decade, our yo-yo existence has meant we have met on several occasions. For most of our early days, City were marooned in the lower leagues, namely the Division Three South, while Burnley were regulars in the top division, winning it in […]

Next up for Norwich, a team that plays in sky blue but isn’t Manchester City. FA Cup winners in recent memory, once top-flight regulars and Premier League founder members, Coventry City fell on hard times and, prior to returning last season to the CBS Arena, spent eight homeless seasons bouncing around the lower leagues. But […]

It’s hard to believe now, but City’s next opponents can boast a Premier League title. The 1994-95 season 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 not since come […]

Saturday’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. […]

When City beat Watford 3-0 at Vicarage Road in late January of this year, Roy Hodgson was holding the yellow and black reins. When we played them earlier in that same season, Xisco Muñoz was in charge, and between those two games, Claudio Ranieri made a brief appearance in the Hornets’ dugout. Since then, Rob […]

The first ever Norwich v Preston fixture took place on 11th November 1961, a routine 2-0 win for City. It was Preston’s first season since the retirement of footballing legend Sir Tom Finney. It was a fixture that would become a regular feature in the Division Two calendar over the next decade. Incidentally, we have […]

We come across many familiar faces when we (almost inevitably) return to the Championship but this being football, there are always a few new(ish) faces and, as such, offers an opportunity for a brief return to our ‘We Meet Again’ series. So, if you’re one who enjoys footballing nostalgia, join us on a trip down […]

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 tomorrow night’s opponents have come was a play-off final defeat in 2008. Norwich’s first visit meeting with Bristol City was at Ashton Gate way […]

Next up for the Canaries is a trip to the second city under-achievers Birmingham City and a return to a Championship staple – the midweek away 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 […]

The Premier League dream is over (again!). City are back in the Championship and it’s a very familiar fixture list that the Canaries face in 2022-23.  But this being football, there will be a few new(ish) faces and, as such, an opportunity for a brief return of ‘We Meet Again’ – the series that looks […]

Given the amount of times we’ve crossed paths with the darlings of the south coast over the last few seasons, you may well have already read Allan’s potted history of our clashes, but just in case you haven’t… … Much of our history against Bournemouth takes place in the old Third Division South and pre […]

Be it the new or the old Den, or at Carrow Road, like Friday, games against Millwall hold plenty of happy memories for the boys in yellow and green. One of the most important came on our visit to Millwall during the run-in in 2018-19 when captain Christoph Zimmermann’s bullet header led the Canaries to […]

The Premier League dream is over… again. City find themselves back in the familiar terrain of the Championship and a new fixture list full of old friends and foes. In ‘We Meet Again’ we look back at previous clashes between Norwich City and our upcoming Championship opponents. Big games, historic matches, significant milestones, and player […]
