    Anyone on here collect old match day programmes?

    I collect. Own just shy of a thousand. almost every home programme since I started following the club in 83/84 plus some aways and Wembley matches. Interestingly (possibly the wrong word) I have been looking through some of my 84/85 ones today.

    Match Thread Norwich City - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 3rd Feb

    Not to mention their home Asics kit 89-91 was the same as our away with different colour trim.

    FA cup replay

    Already booked our hotel tickets for the Preston game. Plus I’d have to take the kids out of school on Friday lunchtime if it’s moved to then so I’ll get it in the neck from the wife. Fucking bastard ITV.

    Legend's Day.

    With the Maidstone match confirmed for Monday 26th will the Preston game be moved (if we get past Wednesday)? 🤔

    FA Cup draw

    Yes please, would definitely have preferred a battering at the Etihad rather than an almost certain home win against a non-league team for a place in the quarters.

    FAC Quarter Finals

    The words have origins in different languages, so that English has applied meanings to them which don't necessarily correlate with their memes. "Cargo" derives from a Spanish word meaning "load" which was derived from the Latin "carrus" a wheeled vehicle, which survives in English as "cart."...

    FAC Quarter Finals

    Norwich 6 Birmingham 19 Stoke 16 Southampton 21 Leicester 18 Nothing to do with 'bigging us up'. For a medium/large-ish club 7 is a pretty low number for 140-odd years, as is Norwich's.

    FAC Quarter Finals

    Looked up similar sized clubs historically, Leicester and Southampton, and they've been to 18 and 21 QFS (or beyond) respectively. 6 is mental.

    FAC Quarter Finals

    In 140 years we've only ever reached this far on 7 occasions. That seems really low for a club of this size especially when you consider you only need 3 wins to get there if you are playing in the top two leagues. Can anybody on here lay claim to having attended all of the last 6 of these (the...

    If it was at Villa Park, yes.

    Sutton put to bed

    Why was it? Same division gap plus Ipswich at home. Imagine Sutton beating us at HR.

    Showing support for Palmer on Friday

    Lost to QPR though in 21/22 (White Ricoh return shirt). And lost against Watford in the brown 125 anniversary kit. And lost v Spurs in the FAC in 11/12 in that cringe-worthy recreation of the cup final shirt And drew with Sheff Weds in that bizarre white kit made to support our WC 2010 bid or...

    What does this club mean to you?

    6,300 v FGR. That felt like our lowest point for me as the start to that L2 season was far from inspiring. Freezing cold, a stadium less than 1/5th full. What a journey since that night.

    What does this club mean to you?

    My youngest sobbed as much for Dabo as she did for the club, he was her favourite player. Then cried her eyes out again the following morning when she found out about the disgusting online racial abuse he'd received. She wrote to him after we got home. A while later she got a letter back from...
