So overall a bit of a day but would recommend Norwich if it was minus the stewards. On first opening, three of the four stands were open air with one being covered. Not a huge amount of leg room but then we were standing throughout the match. Apart from the result I enjoyed the weekend socially and would do the same if and when both teams should meet again. The ground looked quite impressive as you arrive and drive around three of the four sides in a nice looking rather than a blooming huge carbuncle stuck in the middle of nowhere.
