Unlucky Fried Kitten 0 Posted October 4, 2006 How long has the large club badge and the giant yellow and green lettering proclaiming "The Barclay" been on the back (adjacent to the road) of this famous stand? I only noticed it for the first time as I walked past today. It looks quite impressive (yes, I know I''m easily pleased!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex Harvey-Jones 0 Posted October 4, 2006 I''m not altogether sure but I think it is a reasonably recent addition! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
will c 0 Posted October 4, 2006 This version has only recently been put up. When the Barclay was rebuilt in 1993 there used to be a similar thing to this - I think it used to say "The Barclay Stand"? When Delia wanted to extend the catering facilities, an extra bit was built on to the back of The Barclay (the bit that now juts out) and so the wording was removed. Good to see it back. They should also put something along the top of the roof of The Barclay facing the pitch, like at the River End where it has "Norwich & Peterborough Stand" on the roof.

......and Smith must score. 1,343 Posted October 5, 2006 I may well be wrong but I think it wasn''t there before the the Burnley game -- looks good on the telly and all that ? If I remember correctly there was a supporters vote some time ago as to what the lettering should say.On one of Delia & Co''s visits to London for the Capital Canaries AGM Neil Doncaster said it had all been agreed with Norwich City Council that the work could take placebut that must be two or three years ago........

Pete Raven 276 Posted October 5, 2006 It''s been up for a week. Was there before they built Delia''s restaurant. Shame it took the club so long to put it back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unlucky Fried Kitten 0 Posted October 5, 2006 Thanks for all your replies. I''m glad that it is in fact a recent addition - I hoped I hadn''t been unobservant. I half anticipated the response: you must walk about with your eyes closed, mate, it''s been up there for months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
San Miguel 0 Posted October 5, 2006 I was so sure something had changed to the Barclay since the weekend but didn''t ask anyone in case I was going mad - thanks for asking Billy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
