Thanks for the thought, ive got my tickets for Cambridge as I'm going with my son, who is a big Liverpool supporter, but I cant hold that against him. He moves out to go and live in Brussels for work very soon, so its another huge thing in my life that I have to cope with as me and him are really close.Sorry to hear that too. I don't know if you're planning on going this weekend to Cambridge (it's not too far away). If you are, and you haven't got a ticket yet, I have a spare student ticket that you can have F.O.C.
No worries Rev. My son who was born in Norwich (and should logically support the Canaries) is a keen Sky Blue fan who goes more often than me and is indeed following up going to the Vale game by attending again for the Carlisle match....foolish lad I say ! Three games in 8 days is dedication to the cause considering the form we're showing.Nick I did put this in off topic section so I don't know how it got into general chat. The Great Eastern, thanks again and if you see above your post ive got tickets and arrangements for this Saturday bit I will keep you in mind in the future
Can't help with transport I'm afraid Rev as I'm t'other side of the country, but can offer my best wishes with your situation.I am going to go through shortly a trial separation from my wife of 24 years.
Which means me having to sell our home and move into or close to Norwich from my home in Diss 25 miles so I can complete my final year of an engineering degree where I'm a 54 year old mature student retraining after a bad injury at work which put an end to my manual skillset.
My question is there any skybluer's who go to games either home or away from Norwich and its close surroundings who wouldn't mind a slow walking individual joining onto the trips. I obviously will share petrol costs or whatever.
This has been without doubt the worst calendar year of my life, absolutely nothing has gone right apart from me passing my second year, its been much worse than the year of my life changing injury, and the following year which I spent nearly all of having four disc removals in hospital.
At the moment after I finish I intend moving back to my more central areas as I find living in rural Norfolk bloody awful. If you cant talk about agriculture or the in and outs of John Deere combine harvesters the talk in the local can be limited.
Suffolk Skyblue, I know there is two, but one of them knows me and can vouch for my character as we have been to a game together.
I just cant wait for this year to end as next year I have been informed is the year of the Rev, which will involve me finally going back to work, which is the thing that I really really miss passionately and the target that has kept me going since the injury many years ago.
End of life story, but if someone is about and don't mind me joining along I'm up for it
Cheers MoffI know its not answering your question about fans near Norwich, but Rev I just wanted to say how sorry I am to hear about the year you have had, and hope that you are soon back on the upward slope, and next year is indeed the year of the Rev!
Retraining and doing an engineering degree is something you must be very proud of, and best of luck with it all
Cheers Moff
It has been or will be my greatest achievement if I do pass the third year. As my maths O level was 38 years old to gain entry onto the course II had to pass two further maths exams which somehow I did.
Since then the Calculus based maths has been so hard for me and I really struggled with it,so spent so many hours locked away in my office which meant to my cost that I neglected my good lady.
I will be proud though, I'm currently on 67% pass mark which is a good 2/1, but I do fear this devastation will make my marks plummet

We liked Diss at first, we came here from ten years in France and all was well as my daughter and son were doing well at school and Uni. But after four years its so god awful, I consider myself a young 54 year old but you go out anywhere in Diss,whether Tesco's or socially and everyone is 90 and on their last legs and all they do is sit there and moan like fuck all night. The driving here is a sight to behold as I'm still to see someone under twenty five drive ,its all old biddies/blokes who haven't a Scooby doo how to drive at more than 25 miles an hour. Diss though a town, has loads of pubs,15 maybe but only one that has middle aged people in and a good vibe, but just my luck its the farthest one from my house across townRev....it's probably the last thing on your mind right now but I belong to an active social group mostly based in or around Norwich. I get a good social life out of it and there are events advertised most days or evenings of the week. I wont put the name on here as there will always be someone who will want to troll the site. If/when we cross paths, I'll give you further details. You're about the right age for the group and the demographic is around 2 women to every male. Like I say, probably not on your immediate list of priorities right now but one to consider when the fan blowing the shite around switches itself off. I split from my partner 24 years ago so sympathise greatly with your situation. Living in Diss can't be a bundle of laughs either....:vomit::joyful:

Cheers schmee I did comment on your thread at the time to wish you well, I am really pleased its getting better for you, and thanks for the comment.Not in Norwich, but if you read Off Topic you’ll know I went through something similar, even down to it happening during retraining and completing a degree as a mature student.
Just wanted to say keep your chin up, it gets better. And the feeling when you hand in that last piece of coursework regardless of all the shit the world threw at you is a thing is beauty.

Sorry to hear all of this Rev, particularly as you always seem a chearful chap who has a good sense of humour. I'm nowhere near you but like others, just wanted to tell you good luck. I'm 54 next year and I admire your balls mate, I've often thought of changing my life but have bottled it for safe but wanting. Fair play to you and hope your next job and relationship is a happy one that lasts
