Coq au vin 0 Posted June 21, 2017 I''d love to do one over on Fulham. Especially when we started the last campaign away to Fulham and got a hiding under Hughton. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crabbycanary3 994 Posted June 21, 2017 Binners at home on FA Cup 4th round day. If we manage to beat the League 2/Non league team at home (I know), that game will have to be switched, possibly to a midweek game, under lights.Birmingham away on Boxing Day, great.........

Highland Canary 78 Posted June 21, 2017 Is was seriously hot at the opening 2012 fixture. Suspect that outcome will be par for the course. At least Tierney won''t be at left back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIL 1010 5,246 Posted June 21, 2017 The last time i saw us win at Craven Cottage Kevin Drinkell got the winner ! Worthington,Hughton,Adams and Neil could not put me out of my misery on visits since so Mr Farke you owe me one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crabbycanary3 994 Posted June 21, 2017 New Years day 1986 Til? We drove down that day, and through the middle of London at that. Wouldn''t dream of taking a tank through there now............ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BroadstairsR 2,273 Posted June 21, 2017 My favourite away day (coupled with a week-end of it.)One game into the new season, one game attended in all probability.I will soon lose my superior rated plastic credentials at that rate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wouldn''t dream of taking a tank through there now............[/quote]I lived in London at the time and convinced a group of non-Norwich (and in some cases non-football) fans that it would be a good day out! My memory was that it was a terrible game and we scored right at the end.Never tried to get a neutral to a City game again - except my future wife as part of the "suitability test."

Phil Schmil 0 Posted June 21, 2017 I remember driving down to that game on New Years Day 1986 too, after the mini bus I was meant to be going in with a group of friends refused to start.It was freezing cold and a dreadful game and then right at the death a long cross into their box, Dave Watson (I think) beat the keeper to the ball and headed it back across the goal where Kevin Drinkell looped a header into the empty net, right in front of us. Cue massive celebrations on the terraces and it made the journey back a good one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIL 1010 5,246 Posted June 21, 2017 That day back in 1986 some friends and i were planning to do West Ham v Chelsea which was a 11am Kick off and then go on to Craven Cottage for our game at 3pm. The West Ham game was called off due to a frozen pitch so we went over to Plough Lane for Wimbledon v Portsmouth which kicked off at 12 noon. If i remember rightly Mick Shannon who went to Pompey after leaving us scored a goal in a 3-1 win for them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KiwiScot 1,684 Posted June 21, 2017 This is the best first fixture we could have had. Get the away game to the bogey team out the way instead of at a cruical stage. Who cares if we lose its easy to recover from! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
