elyvalleyblue 0 Posted February 22, 2009 Hi Lads / Lasses, Cardiff City fan here.In a few weeks I shall be visiting your City and ground for the firsttime. Been to them lot down the road (bit of a hole it was too), but never to Norwich.I''m looking forward to putting another ground on my list.I''m actually staying 2 nights in the City Centre. Anyone recommend anything to do, place’s to visit during the day? I’m staying in the City centre and have noticed that the hotel doesn’t have its own car park and I have to park in the NCP Car Park, which is £12 a day. Any other car parks that are cheaper, bearing in mind it will be parked for about 40+ hours.Also anyone recommend any good Chinese Take Away’s (and ones to avoid), any Chinese All you can Eat Buffets. Good Fish & Chip shop etc.Also on the night of the game I’m planning on walking the mile to the ground (I think its 1 mile from the City Centre) am I likely to come across any hostile locals?

medus 0 Posted February 22, 2009 Are you staying in the Travel Inn? If so there is a Pay & Display car park approx 100m to the right which is cheaper. There is also a Chinese All you can eat Buffet next to the hotel. You will have no problems from the locals. Hope you enjoy your stay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SitTee 0 Posted February 22, 2009 You wont get hassle from us. Go do some shopping in city centre and visit the castle, worth doing while your in norwich. Any idea how many bluebirds are coming to carra rud? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elyvalleyblue 0 Posted February 22, 2009 All depends on where we are in the league. If we are in the playoffs, maybe about 500. However if we are going to Automatic spots (with our games in hand we can get there) then maybe upto 1000.You know when your Ticket Office release the tickets?

elyvalleyblue 0 Posted February 24, 2009 We are desperate for what I hope will be 3 Easy Points, but you never can tell what our players are going to play like.You know when you send the tickets down? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WeAreYellows49 0 Posted February 24, 2009 Not too sure but I would think that if you give your club shop/ticket office a ring they may be able to tell you when the tickets go on sale. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
In Dubious Battle 0 Posted February 24, 2009 If you fancy doing a bit of shopping or a bite to eat I would recommend visiting Anglia Square it''s a very pleasant area of the city. Also whilst your in the neighborhood drop into the Cat & Fiddle for a pint or two it well worth a visit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. Ink 0 Posted February 24, 2009 To meet up with other Cardiff supporters before the match, go to the pub next to the train station "The Complete Angler", it''s basically the away supporter''s watering hole, and a short walk from Carrow Road. You may have touble getting into the bars at the Riverside area (the other side of the station) the lunchtime before the game, unless in neutral colours. A lot of Norwich fans have their pre-match pints at the Riverside, and some of the match day bouncers can be a bit funny about it.Enjoy Norwich, the Castle & Cathedral are worth a visit, and city centre shopping is generally classed as excellent. A 40 minute each-way drive out to the North Norfolk coast is also nice if you like the seaside! I love Blakeney area just for its remoteness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
