Hooleyfan 0 Posted November 26, 2007 Can anyone recommend where to park near the Brittannia Stadium. Never sure whether to trust some of these sites...are they up to date etc.Another thing...on the website Football Ground Guide ( http://www.footballgroundguide.co.uk/) it says, "It is worth bearing mind though that the Stoke fans are passionate about their club and this can make for an intimidating atmosphere, so it is best to keep colours covered around the ground". Was this written by a girlie or do they have a point? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
south stand corner terrace 0 Posted November 26, 2007 Isnt that bad hooley, i have been there twice, Now the Victoria Ground was intimidating especially walking past the graveyard, anyway there is an away car park next to the ground, and if you catch it right you can make a very quick getaway.

gazzathegreat 0 Posted November 27, 2007 Been twice and not seen anything to worry about (I am a girlie by the way). There is plenty of parking and a Harvester type place opposite the ground. In fact a group of us were in there before the game chatting with Stoke fans. Nothing to worry about and NOT like their old ground. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It seems that some of them (from both sides) are too daft to realise that it''s their council tax that pays to clean up the mess they make. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Freeza 0 Posted November 27, 2007 You shouldn''t have any problems with parking or the ''Naughty Fourties'' as they are pretty much finished (and idiots).There is rarely a decent atmosphere though as the corners aren''t filled in and the ground is on a hill, so it''s always cold and windy and the noise escapes.

[/quote]I can second that ! The coldest I''ve ever been in a ground, and the wind played havoc with the game too when I went, the ball spent most of it''s time at a height that would have bothered air-traffic controllers.

Slim 0 Posted November 27, 2007 Just been and got my ticket. Four of us going - for 6quid, let''s get as many fans as possible there and cheer the lads on from beginning to end. It may not be the best time to be a Norwich fan but after the win on Saturday and if we can get a victory tonight things will be starting to look up! COME ON YOU YELLOWS!

we8wba 0 Posted November 27, 2007 my advice for parking is to go on club coach etc.. they park coaches/mini buses in a pen n your not allowed out of these gatesstoke fans are vicisous and dont give two crap''s about punching you n hurling abuseif you travel by car plenty of car parking but i advise not to wear your coloursall supporters by car are kept in the pen, until the coaches depart, meaning if only 400 travel by car only 400 of you with all stoke waiting for blood other side of gatejust dont wear colours and hope for non-heated matchit may only happen to me because wolves v stoke sort of localishbut i been there twice n happend both times Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote]Nice advice but not all of us Canary fans live in the Norfolk area...Norwich City has a much wider appeal these days, dont you know!...and I dont mean since we beat Coventry and Blackpool.Thankyou for your guidance...but I dont think you can overlook the local rivalry aspect. I''d like to think that we get a good welcome most places we go, (except Ipswich of course)...Where do you go to get a good reception we8wba, ...other than on here?

we8wba 0 Posted November 28, 2007 haha you try n give advice n you get slatted lolall clubs have fans from outside the actual town/city not just norwich n manutd so yes i do knowim just telling you they keep you in a little cage pen for about 30mins, and stoke fans all wait the other side of it you cant leave the pen even if you parked around the stadium until the coaches departas i said i wouldnt wear colours, or least dont show them afteras to everyone hating wolves, we must be doing something right to be hated, is it hint of jeolousy at all us being up the top?? or fact we usually do well vs you in last 10years (apart from the playoffs before im shortly reminded) i mean for us to be "hated", we hardly man utd, we hardley leeds n we hardly chelsea trying to buy the leagueyou may dislike us but doubt "everybody hates wolves" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Juler 208 Posted November 28, 2007 I went last season, it was a night game and after the match walked straight out and back to my car, no problem. Was away back on the M6 in 10-15 minutes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vern 0 Posted November 28, 2007 With Chadwick and Russell knowing all about Tony Pulis and Stoke I reckon we will win the game no probs on Saturday. We owe them for last years 5.0 hiding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slim 0 Posted November 28, 2007 Anybody who was even contemplating going on Saturday should now go and get there ticket today!I really think we can make it 3 wins out of 3 on Saturday but the boys will need all the support possible.

It''s not like that normally, Stokies are actually quite friendly and laid back but you get ur idiots wherever you go.I wouldn''t worry about covering up your colours unless u walk to the stadium along the canal maybe.
