ricardo 7,396 Posted August 30, 2009 A thirty three minute stroll through Pottergate, up Opie Street, over the old cattlemarket, down King St and over the bridge.On the way back a minor detour into the Workshop on Earlham Rd can easily extend the time by up to an hour.

lordyfan 0 Posted August 31, 2009 But it was fun winding up the dutch binners on the ferry!. Loads used to come over, the murhen/thyssen effect. After a few swift pints of heiny, The banter would start. Held me own tho, Multilingual sledging, Used to get em in english and dutch!. I wernt alone, There was sometimes a couple who lived in dortmund that i used to see on the ferry going to a game at carra rood Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Savenell 0 Posted August 31, 2009 Was a season ticket holder for the last 2 seasons and used to get the train up from Harwich to Norwich for every game. Sometimes didn''t get back until gone 12 and then up at half 7 for school/college the next morning. Unfortunately couldn''t afford a season ticket this season but going to get to as many games as possible :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
