  1. On the road to Stoke today hoping that because it's the business end of the season that our away form improves. Feels like we are in a good place and the run in looks doinable so pick up some points away from home and we are play-off bound. Stoke have a similar home & away form and at home they have Won 6, Drew 4 and lost 8 with goals 14/21. It's pretty much a nothing season for them so far. Now Stoke Ramblers as were fouders of the football league and are the second oldest professional football club in the world. After becoming Stoke City they won the league cup in 1972 and more recently had a 10 season stint in the premier league. It can be done. Local Food -The Staffordshire oatcake is a kind of savoury pancake made from oatmeal, flour and yeast. Pubs - *Warning* My info here can be outdated or incomplete, From a oct 2023 fan report There is little in the way of pubs near the ground or within a 15 minute walk, there is a Holiday Inn and Harvester pub next to the Stadium, and although they do let away fans in they can get very busy so your best getting there early or face being turned away. Further on the industrial park there is a "Power league" complex, presumably some sort of indoor football/bowling place and that has a bar. For those going by Train, The Terrace Bar on Leek Road near the station(5mins) is the designated away fans pub for those going by train, the shuttle bus's that run from the station also stop outside the pub. The Fenton Bowling Club which is about a 20 minute walk and is just the other side of the A50.This is a small club but is very welcoming with a decent range of beer and limited food. Pay at the Gate - Not available News - Wagner missing from the match build up due a family matter back in Germany. I believe he will be here for the match. Malcolm Lucas has passed away, Giannoulis(Out,Hamstring, End of April),Hernandez(Out,Foot),Webber maybe to Stoke,23/24 Memberships no longer available to buy, Fan forum on Tuesday, Wagner - "Gabby played in a wider position because we are not blessed with numbers and he did it well" Winners! - The Invinicibles of Norwich Cerebal Palsy Football team have secured the league title undefeated.

  2. I'm in great form and in my latest attempt to undo that it's time to go to my favourite league K-League 1 - Daejeon v Gangwon - Home win. Top amateur pundits have picked Daejeon to finish 4th this season while also predicting Gangwon to be bottom. Well two games in it looks the other way round, but I'm keeping the faith and Daejeon have yet to play at home. What can go wrong! For Norwich lets be positive. 1:2 to Norwich!
  3. The draw would take humans 4 hrs to do so it will be done by a computer. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2024/mar/12/champions-league-draw-to-be-made-by-computer-due-to-complex-new-format 36 Teams. 1st Stage is one big league where each team plays 8 games. The top eight sides in the league will qualify automatically for the knockout stage, while the teams finishing in 9th to 24th place will compete in a two-legged play-off to secure their path to the last 16 round. Teams are spit into x4 pots and that is used for the league fixtures. i.e. pot 1 team plays a x2 teams from pots 1,2,3,4 = 8 games. What a load of...
  4. SNP renounce Independence. Announce plan to expand borders. England is ripe for the plucking. Vote SNP for Norfolk South
  5. I do like having the most profitable pick and nice to actually be on the tables proper. Old times.
  6. Well done Til and hard luck NWC. Hard luck Apples 😉
  7. I'm really not interested in whether the games are more entertaining or not. More the sporting integrity. In a weird way the situation I was complaining about before could also demotivate a team to try and win. Let's say the prem had bonus points. More teams trying for them right? How often Man City are going to pick them up rather than Sheffield?
  8. Never been but you're right its picturesque when you drive past.
