Theres only one Ken Foggo

Plenty of old friends in League One!

Recommended Posts

Now that we know all the teams we will be playing next season it''s interesting to see how many familiar clubs we will be playing who have been regular visitors to Carrow Road over the last 10-15 years in both the Premier League and the Championship. Of the 23 clubs, no less than 15 have played City in the league over that period. So in some ways watching most of the matches won''t feel that much different from what we''re used to. Small comfort I know!

Everyone keeps telling me about all the new grounds to visit, but looking at the teams involved, I''ve already been to most of them with City.  Its not that long since we were playing Stockport, Southend, Colchester, Brighton, etc.

A lot of those have new grounds since we last played them, so it is partly right. Brighton play at an athletics track, still, don''t they?

Of the 23 League One clubs 11 were with us when we were last in Division Three and some have never been elsewhere. European League, Premier League, Division One, Championship, Division Two. Thanks for the memory. We will be back.

Not for a while though.  I know a Brighton fan and apparently they aren''t due in Falmer till about 2011.  They''re still at the Withdean till then unfortunately.

Southend haven''t moved yet either.  Most clubs are still where they were when we last played them.

wouldnt say its small comfort considering we did play 15 of them in then Division One, they have been relegated and not been back since! Hope we dont fall into that category.
