    First city game

    August or September 1966 versus Bury. We won 3-0 with the goals being 2 from Bobby Gould and the other was from John Tudor. First actual professional game was in the early 60s, Norwich v Vile at Carrow Rd. We were on holiday in the area at the time. Think it was 0-0 but remember nothing of the...

    EFL Playoff's

    Serves the Peterboro goalie right for time wasting. He was taking around 20 seconds every time he got hold of the ball. When the law says 6 seconds, why do all refs let them get away with it ? Great game to watch for the neutral!

    Burnley fans

    Back in the 60s and early 70s, Burnley used to attract small crowds compared to all other top flight teams but they were followed by a very large proportion of hoolies.... You had to be nuts or brave or both to go to Burnley away.

    Terry hall

    I was at the Pink Floyd gig that followed on from Chuck Berry (and Slade) It was a later start than the advertised midnight start time. Think the Floyd came on around 2am. It was 100% at the Locarno.

    At least it wasnt as bad as the Iceland performance and eventual defeat. Mind you, it was close to that...

    Crowd at Notts today

    16,500 at Meadow Lane today versus Yeovil. That's bloody impressive for the National league ! I know the lower leagues will profit from no Championship or Prem games but would Forest fans have been swelling the numbers ??

    24 years ago today

    I watched it on tv in a Norwich pub and went mental when Froggatts goal went in. I thought it was Whelan as I had a bet on him as 1st goal scorer. Also bet on 3-0 @ 19-1 so was praying at the end for no more score !

    Correct me if I'm wrong but I dont think QPR used any subs either ?

    SBA vs Norwich

    Norwich supporting mate of mine was near us yesterday and said he was well impressed with Covs enthusiastic supporters. However, he didnt use the same words for our level of performance on the pitch ☹

    If you're coming via the A11, the last 10 or so miles before you get to Norwich are having major roadworks where the dual carriageway is closed one side and a 40mph contraflow is in operation. I'll be in the Coach and Horses, Thorpe Road at about 1.30pm.
