It's Character Forming 1,156 Posted November 26, 2021 LOL if I'd been screening out away fixtures based on the area being a dump, that would have seriously cut down the away trips I've done over the years.

shefcanary 2,338 Posted November 26, 2021 Let's just see how Omicron actually affects people. It could be quite benign, like the common cold. We've been told that eventually the dominant variant that wins out will more than likely be a milder version. Calm down all. Enjoy tomorrow and the rest of the season. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gordon Bennett 768 Posted November 26, 2021 This new variant could well follow the pattern of others which have arrived with a fanfare and the media sensationalising their potential effects only fir them to disappear from the public eye as they are no worse than what we already have here. Just remember to take what the BBC et al tell you with a pinch of salt and don't worry about what might happen until it does. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Getting to Selhurst Park from Norwich whatever way you decide to go is a nighmare no matter whether a Bank Holiday or not and whatever kick off time afternoon or evening unless you know something i don't Commonsense ? It will be cold anyway. 😜 For this particular game the train journey from Norwich to Liverpool Street and return has an hour added because of disruption for starters which makes it getting on for 3 hours before you even cross London..Of course travelling round the M25 to get there is no joy either.

You get a train from Norwich to London. Cross on the tube and then get another train from London Bridge. It’s not really that difficult. The point about the afternoon is that there will be trains back. You could always use Club Canary if that’s too difficult. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You obviously don't regard taking nearly 3 hours to get to London from Norwich on the train because of disruption and a change of train as somewhat annoying with the same on the return. No lessons needed about getting across London on the underground needed either thanks as i would like a quid for everytime i have done it over the years. Appreciate your concern though.
